Subject: To: Jonathan Katz Re: File No. S7-25-97 Date: 11/16/97 5:27 PM The purpose of the S.E.C., as I understand i,t is to protect the general rights of all corporate stock holders. Small stockholders are stockholders too!!! The S.E.C. should be protecting small stockholders, not decreasing their rights to the advantage of large stockholders who already have a large arsenal of lawyers and friends to protect them. Not that the S.E.C. should totally neglect large stockholders. But give us small stockholders some consideration!!! Sincerely, Karen Eble
