Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09
From: Rebecca Rhoads

As a private property owner and farmer, I highly 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 or private lands, waters or air sold to any private interests, especially foreign interests such as China and the like. No one takes care of land like the land owner, especially farmers. How can this organization possibly believe that this ruling would be for the betterment of our society and the strengthening of our economy? I reject outright the imposition of unconstitutional restrictions 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. Furthermore, these countries have demonstrated an abysmal lack of care for environmental concerns and, in fact, are the worst polluters on the planet. I demand the Commission to extend the time available for comment on proposed Rule SR-NYSE-2023-09 and/or to reject it outright immediately.
