Subject: S7-5-99 April 6, 1999 Dear Mr. Katz, As a CEO of a small public apparel company (ACAJ), which is in the process of completing a merger with a significantly larger private apparel company, I am extremely concerned about the potential of amending 15c2-11. This would place an onerous buden on existing market makers and consequently impeed the growth of companies such as mine who are out in the capital markets. I urge you and your constituents to take a serious look at the damage which will be caused to many good companies, their employees and shareholder. Sincerely, Terry McGovern CEO Pacific Coast Apparel Company, Inc. (213) 748-9724
