From: Russell Rowland

Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09 To all involved at the SEC: I am urging the SEC to NOT allow the NYSE to list “Natural Asset Companies” or NACs, pursuant to File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09. I am a citizen who has great concerns for our country and where it is going and believe in free markets that require ground rules, which cannot and must not be manipulated to keep the playing field level and fair and to engender positive outcomes. The continued efforts to financialize productive natural resources to subvert the legal system, to pervert the capital markets, and to cause harmful outcomes for both investors and the US alike cannot be enabled. It is clear that from an investor protection perspective, NACs bastardize the capital markets for a political objective. NACs are not only a “new type of company”, something that is highly irregular and should require much scrutiny, but also have employed their own type of accounting system. This comes directly from the creator of the “NACs”, IEG’ This proposed SEC Rule is by definition Unconstitutional. There is no article or allowance in the Constitution for the United States of America to provide for any ownership or control of the lands of the United States by fictitious persons, it can only be owned and controlled by We The People. "Natural Asset Corporations" are a fictitious person, they are not of We The People. The SEC knows that any fictitious person incorporated for the purpose of owning or controlling land can only own land within the Federal District of Columbia because that is the only part of the United States of America subject to the Constitution of the United States. Do not allow this proposed rule to go forward.
