Date: 12/19/1999 1:42 PM Subject: Proposed Regulation FD Please note that I personally am very in favor of fairness to all investors! To the small individual investor, which I am, the playing field is rather one-sided. We seem to get the "news" after selected companies and selected powerful individuals have initiated action on whatever the "news" is to further their pockets - not available to everyone. It also is not good for the market as a whole. So I would like my concerns known to do away with disclosing information to the "selected few". Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda Thompson 82 Hawthorn W. Kalispell, MT 59901
