Subject: Selective Disclosure

I support the SEC's proposal to limit the selective disclosure now practiced by 
many of the largest publically held companies.  i have noted numerous examples 
of such disclosure:  recently the preannouncement by Xerox that they would have 
an earnings shortfall was not widely available to the public.  A summary 
announcement was made publicly but details were dribbled out apparently to 
selected sources.  I complained to their investor relations and then sold the 
stock.
