Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

Chairman Levitt,
     
I applaud you and the SEC in pursuing the proposed Regulation FD.  With 
more and more individual investors taking part in our nations economic 
expansion, the insidious insider information is hurting the people who 
built this country and pay its taxes.
     
 The number of companies, large and small, that provide information to
Wall Street professionals first before full disclosure to the public at 
large is patently unfair.  I hope the SEC vigorously pursues correcting 
this unfair advantage given to analysts.  In this day of advanced 
technological capabilities there is no reason for companies to hold 
closed-door meetings to provide inside information to the exculsion of 
individual investors.
     
I urge you to adopt the proposed Regulation FD, and make American 
business truly open for all Americans.
