Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

Dear SEC,
     
Thank you for contributing to the advancement of a truly free, open and 
democratic marketplace by proposing to require Fair Disclosure of 
material corporate information.  
As an investor who believes that simple fairness can only serve to 
strengthen our national and ultimately our global economy, I strongly 
support Proposed Regulation FD.  You are doing a remarkable job of 
proving that government has an essential and irreplaceable role in 
assuring that a "free market" can indeed be free, for the only free 
market is a morally responsible market.  
     
Thank you for moving the US market in that direction.
     
Sincerely,
     
Paul Nicolette
