Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

To Whom It May Concern,
     
     
        I am writing in regard to Proposed Regulation FD. As a
stockholder in several companies I find it frustrating that I cannot 
receive information from a conference call on how a company I own a 
portion of is doing, but that brokers and analysts, who may or may not 
own shares in the company, are allowed to based upon completely 
arbitrary policies set by the company. Selective disclosure hurts large 
numbers of small investors by denying them information on the companies 
that they invest it while rewarding a small few. Since its founding in 
the SEC has done much to stabilize America's financial markets and 
prevent the kinds of stock swindles and panics that we saw in the 
1870s, 1890s and 1920s in part by forcing publicly traded companies to 
hew to a well understood set of standards and by opening the operations 
of these companies to public scrutiny. Eliminating selective disclosure 
will add to this fine body of work and help further stabilize markets 
and help small investors.
     
Thank You,
