Subject: Proposed Regulation FD

I strongly support the fair disclosure rules that will be implemented if the 
planned Regulation FD goes into effect.  Currently selective disclosure 
policies by publicly held companies create an artificial unequal information 
field where those analysts and select few who are lucky to be privy to such 
selective information can then turn around and profit off of the ones such 
information truly belongs to, the shareholders of the company, the people 
who have a financial stake in the well-being of the company.  This is 
patently unfair and is a practice that should be stopped.  Whenever a job is 
artificially created (such as that of the information middle-man in this 
case) it is economically inefficient; in this case it also creates a 
disadvantage for the individual investor.
     
I strongly urge you to pass and enact Regulation FD.
