------------------------------- Message Contents 
I am in favor of Proposed Regulation FD: File No.  S7-31-99.  I am tired 
of companies in which I own common stock sharing information with Wall 
Street analysts that I am not privy to, giving them time to warn their 
best customers of earnings surprises, etc. before that information is 
available to the public in general.

As an individual investor I believe that I am

Anything less is un-American.

Fair disclosure is absolutely necessary for the markets to thrive.  To allow 
anything less creates a conflict of interest for the regulatory 
responsibility of the SEC.  It's time investors were given a fair shake in 
the market.  The more disclosure, the better!

I have read the ideas expressed by the Securities Industry Association 
lobbying on behalf of its full-service broker members. I completely disagree 
with their contention that alalysts provide a better service for the owners 
of America's public companies by operating in an environment with access to 
information denied to the very people who own or are considering owning those 
companies. Their contentions betray all common sence. 

If it betrays common sense, what is the motivation? SIA desires unequal access 
to information by its members' analysts because they resell the information to 
the American public. There's nothing wrong with reselling the information. But 
making that information more valuable by giving them unequal access to it, 
denying equal access to individual investors is wrong.

I applaud Proposed Regulation FD.

[NOTE:  I am a private investor and have no relationship -- save as a client -- 
to any Wall Street or other financial firm.]

I would respectfully suggest that any system that restricts news to Wall Street 
analysts while failing to allow equal and immediate access to the public is 
inappropriate.  This methodology eliminates the chance for investors to hear 
anything but a filtered view of the facts ... and such filtering is frequently 
done by analysts who are vigorously courted by the companies they follow.  (Note
the fact that ANY 'sell' reccommendation from Wall Street analysts is usually a 
source of news in and of itself because of its rarity.)

Transparency in financial transactions cannot fail but to enhance the free and 
productive flow of capital that is the basis of capitalism.  Please DO modify 
the current system in the direction of providing more direct access to 
information for the individual investor.

Thank you.
