Subject: File No. 4-610

I have a couple of questions/suggested topics for the muni hearings:

Has the SEC considered prohibiting firms from offering both Municipal Financial Advisor services and Negotiated Underwriting Services? Not just necessarily keeping firms from providing both services for a particular bond issue but in general not allowing firms to provide both services.

Will liability for "flipping" of BABs eventually be shared by both the issuer and the Underwriters?

Thanks,
