Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09
From: Ken Karpe

I'm in shock and dismay that I'd even have to write my comments about something so basic as a potential rule change SR_NYSE-2023-9 that could affect Americas sovereignty allowing for even more foreign ownership than has already happened. Approximately five years ago John Morrell Company, second largest slaughtering operation located in Sioux Falls SD was purchased by China. A week ago, Nippon Steel purchased US Steel and now with the potential rule making changes making it easier to purchase more? This is crazy and in NOT acceptable. It is time we tighten rule making not loosen them.
