Date: 03/21/2000 5:00 PM Subject: Proposed Regulation FD To whom it may concern. As an individual investor, I encourage the SEC to go forward with the proposed regulation regarding selective disclosure. In my own opinion, selective disclosure is the same as trading on insider information. I would hope that the SEC will level the playing field for all of us who invest on our own. Thank you for your time and consideration. Donald R Zihlman 42 Tall Pines Rd Scarborough, Maine 04074
