Sirs, kill this proposal. Facts for you to consider, 20 year veteran as a 
registered rep, 9 years as a supervisor. Never a complaint/arbitration. Then 
last year an arbitration filed against one of my brokers, no prior complaints, 
(22 year veteran, NASD arbitrator and lawyer) that was dismissed and denied with 
prejudice. In other words, no merit. This should not be allowed to be a permanent 
part of his/mine record. Unproven allegations and the difficulty in erasing them 
permanently does harm economically and to our reputations that we have spent over 
20 years painstakingly building. Sadly, you protect the very people who need it 
the least (NYSE, analysts, investement bankers, senior mgmt.). In your haste "to 
do something" for the public you migrate to the people who do the most for the 
public........ their registered rep. Steven J. Kus
