Subject: Proposed regulation FD

I am strongly in favor of the proposed fair disclosure regulation currently 
proposed.  Insider information such as advanced notice of earnings or negative 
information, whether shared with a handful of individual or selected Wall Street
Brokers should be illegal.  Even within the brokerage community if a company 
will select certain firms based on the companies perceived bias toward those 
brokers will create an inherent conflict regarding honest analysis of a company 
if the analysis is negative.
     
Any concern raised by the Securities lobby about the free flow of information 
would be primarily regarding the free and not the flow.  It imply it would 
stifle communication with patently ridiculous.
