Date: 03/22/2000 7:50 AM Subject: Proposed Regulation FD Dear Chairman Levitt, I am in favor of Proposed Regulation FD and applaud your efforts on behalf of the investing public, particularly those who make their own informed decisions within the context of a long term buy and hold strategy of investing. The very thought that companies and analysts, at present, may selectively disclose pertinent information, before the public at large has the opportunity to receive and assess that information, is unfair at best and detrimental to the market overall. I believe this regulation will assist everyone in their efforts to invest in our economy with greater confidence and reduced risk. Thank you again for your efforts. James T. Goreham Austin, Texas
