Respectfully, our company opposes the creation of Natural Asset Companies that will be used to set aside land in America. We do not want US public lands, watersways or airespace sold to private interests. We do not trust these Natural Asset Companies to be good stewards or acts to the betterment of our society and they will likely weaken our economy. Our company also rejects the concept on the basis that it will impose unconstitutional restrictions and deprive individual Americans of property rights and other freedoms. We also observe that private interests including hostile foreign powers like the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Russia and Iran may have their own reasons for wanting to lock down our hydrocarbon-based fuels, our minerals, forests and other natural resources. We urge the Commission to extend the time available for comment on proposed Rule SR-NYSE-2023-09 or to reject it outright immediately Stephen Walker Stephen Walker Consulting LLC
