To Whom it May Concern,
     
I would like to voice support for the open disclosure 
of information to all parties. The idea that companies 
will be less forthcoming with information that is 
publically disseminated is preosterous. Are there no 
employees of rival firms among the clients of the 
large brokerages now privy to information? No firm 
will disclose any secrets or strategies in an analyst 
meeting that could possibly undermine its ability to 
compete. The only issue may be the timing of 
information release, in that there is a delay in the 
current system between the disclosure to analysts and 
the full public discloure, but this is not 
significant, and generally is not a factor in 
disclosure. The only obvious reason to perpetuate the 
current system is to justify the expensive commisions 
of professional brokers. The SEC is taking a step in 
the right direction.
     
Sincerely,
     
John Holtz
