Subject: Proposed Regulation FD
 
to whom it may concern.  I am writing to express my ardent support for the 
adoption of the above reference regulation requiring disclosure to the 
public as opposed to selective disclosure to financial analysts.  the 
concept of selective disclosure is an oxymoron and an insult to the 
investing public.  Mr. Levitt should be encouraged to pursue this and other 
efforts to level the playing field for all investors.  Like many other 
individual Americans, I have in the last four years learned much about the 
fundamentals of investing.  I have begun to purchase equities over the 
internet through my own efforts, after research and due diligence.  I am 
attempting to secure my wife's and my retirement by investing in individual 
stocks as well as mutual funds.  I find it greatly distressing that public 
corporations are not already required to publish their material information 
fairly to all investors.  The SEC should take all steps, including the 
adoption of proposed regulation FD, in insuring that the individual investor 
has access to the same information at the same time and in the same degree 
as financial analysts.
