Subject: re file# S7-5-99 Author: Date: 4/30/99 1:21 PM We strongly request you to reject the amendment to impose regulatory oversight on marketmakers. The rule would make it impossible to sell penny stocks. As a new company engaged in medical device invention, production and distribution, we will need all the help we can get with financing. Certainly not the interference of yet another stifling rule. C.E. McDowell President, Sto Med Inc.
