Date: 1/5/98 5:45 PM Subject: s7-25-97 Dear Mr. Arthur Levitt, I am in strong disagreement with rule S7-25-97 (the stockholder gag rule) which would severely limit the information that stockholders need to make informed decisions. I urge you most stringly not to pass this rule. Thank you for your attention, Rachel j Siegel 11 Spruce Lane Ithaca, NY 14850
