Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09
From: Timothy Lassley

Neither the Commodities Board nor the SEC have the right to create ownership or derivative value of the United States natural assets, be they geologic or otherwise intrinsic to the land and people of which the USA consists. SR-NYSE-2023-09 is to be thoroughly rejected lest the entirety of the USA becomes collateral owned eventually by those who wish us harm. This country was founded by people getting away from a monarchy which owned everything - let's not act as if the CB and SEC now stand in for monarchy. Natural Assets belong to everyone. No one person or group can suddenly claim ownership. To do so is an affront to humanity and to God. Stop this now or neither will ever forgive you.
