Dear Sirs:

This is to register my request that the SEC unequivocally reject the NASD’s request for an Accelerated approval of Rule Filing SR-NASD 2003 158 and publish the NASD’s proposal. Your approval of the NASD’s request would cause a most grave injustice to the Investing Public that the SEC is charged with protecting.

Thank you.

Stephen David Murakami, Esq.
