I am a licensed insurance professional who sells varible annuity contracts. I am opposed to the proposed rule 2821. I feel that this is redundant in light of the oversight now being exercised by my company and others in this business. Those who are selling in an inappropriate fashion should be sanctioned under exisiting rules and regulations. There is no evidence that harmful sales practices are on the increase.

Discliplinary actions involving the sale of variable annuity contracts make up less than 1% of those actions taken in the past five years.

Current rules regarding supervision and suitability are sufficient to protect consumers.

Thank you, James R. Denny, III
