Hello SEC, My name is William Bledsoe Jr and I am an individual investor. I am writing to give my overwhelming support for the passage of the proposed rule connected to S7-29-22. These new execution quality reporting measures will go a long way in ensuring that everyday Americans and U.S. households have a fairer marketplace to operate in. I believe that also changing the definition of "covered ordered" and demanding more transparency in activity outside of regular trading hours will be an undeniable improvement for household investors. I also think that demanding execution quality information across orders of different sizes will be incredibly beneficial to having the information to understand the degree of fairness in our markets. Additionally, measuring all of the above in milliseconds to really understand order execution will be a huge step forward for us all. Thank you for the hard-work in identifying these issues and proposing this new rule, please do everything in your power to pass this rule as a protective measures against predatory market makers, broker-dealers, and hedge funds. Gary Gensler and team, thank you for your continued work on behalf of the American citizenry. Best, William Bledsoe Jr
