Subject: proposed regulation FD

The American government is supposed to defend the 
country against intruders, and also help maintain a 
level playing field for it's citizens as they pursue 
life, liberty, and happiness. Regulation FD appears to 
level the investing playing field for ALL 
participants. To that end, the government will be 
doing it's job.     
Regulation FD appeals to the common-sense, without 
ugly social engineering qualities. Investors can 
always choose to pay for analytic/speculation 
services...but those services should not be privy to 
time-information privileges. A law removing such 
privileges is sorely needed.
     
As a stock investor since 1983, I eagerly await 
passage of Regulation FD into law.
     
Sincerely,
Shawn McGuyer
