Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09
From: Linda Selak

These public lands are held in trust for the citizens of the United States. This is unconstitutional. No entity, other than our very own government should be controlling these lands no one should be able to control the use of the land, except for the government. These land are set aside for the enjoyment of the citizens and for other important uses to sustain our country. At the very least this is absurd at the worst. It feels like a land grab by unknown entities. Why is the SEC even evolved? I oppose the creation of Natural Asset Companies that will be used to sell off, and sell out, America. I do not want our country’s public lands, waters and even air sold to private interests obliged to preclude the productive use of such resources to the betterment of our society and the strengthening of our economy. I also reject the imposition of unconstitutional restrictions via such means on individual Americans’ property rights and other freedoms. My sentiments are further intensified by the prospect that those private interests may include hostile foreign powers like the Chinese Communist Party, Russia and Iran who may have their own reasons for wanting to lock down our hydrocarbon-based fuels, our minerals, forests, etc. I urge the Commission to extend the time available for comment on proposed Rule SR-NYSE-2023-09 or to reject it outright immediately.
