Subject: proposed rules

Jonathan Katz, Secretary
Securities and Exchange Commission
     
Mr. Katz: 
     
The SEC's new proposed rules must not go forward (S7-25-97). These rules 
essentially destroy the rights of American shareholders. 
     
Stop these rules. Reverse Cracker Barrel but allow the existing rules to 
stand or develop rules that will protect shareholders' rights.
     
Sincerely,
     
Stanley DeViney
