Subject: Proposed Rule FD

Faith in the market by the general public and the willingness to continue to 
invest  their hard earned money depends on the belief that they have a chance 
to know and understand current information.  If the public becomes convinced 
that the special interests are controling the flow of information the market 
is in trouble.
Good luck on the rule change.  W.R.Johnson Phd. , investor (retired teacher)
