To Whom It May Concern:
 
I am writing to voice my support for BOX - SR-BSE-2002-15.  It will make 
the market more efficient and allow individual investors like myself to 
compete more effectively in marketplace.  If there is opposition from the 
existing option exchanges, it is simply for self-serving reasons to protect 
their franchise and should be overlooked in the decision to approve 
BOX - SR-BSE-2002-15.
 
Sincerely,
