From: marv eatinger [marv@mitec.net] Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 5:32 PM To: rule-comments@sec.gov Cc: neil.budde@wsj.com Subject: SEC public comment concerning File No. S7-45-02 Attn: Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary of the Commission Re: File No. S7-45-02 Dear SEC: Public comment by Marv Eatinger to proposed addition of part 205 to 17CFR is as follows: Proposed new part 205 to 17CFR (Standards of Professional Conduct for Attorneys Appearing and Practicing before the Commission), that includes: "up the ladder" reporting, and "noisy withdrawal". If the proposed new part 205 to 17CFR had been in place originally as part of the Standards of Professional Conduct for Attorneys Practicing before the Commission, the securities fraud violations (civil and criminal) concerning recently exposed public companies would probably have been stopped from moving forward! If you study the scheme perpetrated by two public companies (see posts on www.ragingbull.com by Virgule) you will see how this proposed new part 205 to 17CFR would have inhibited the Professionals approach to moving their scheme forward. Sincerely, Marv Eatinger cc: Alan L. Beller, Senior Counselor to the Commission Giovanni P. Prezioso, General Counsel to the Commission
