Katz, Secretary Securities and Exchange Commission 450 Fifth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20549-0609 Dear SEC; Just a quick email to voice my hope that the SEC will approve the Boston Options Exchange. As an options trader, I expect that the BOX would provide improved order flow, better pricing, improved competition, and therefore be a great benefit to public customers. Please consider this when making your decision to approve the Boston Options Exchange. Thank you. Sincerely, Charles LaPointe Oak Lawn, IL CLP2000@comcast.net
