RE:  SR-BSE-2002-15

Dear Mr. Katz,

As a member of the Board of Governors of the Boston Stock Exchange and a 20 
year floor member, I  stongly urge the SEC to approve BOX trading platform as 
soon as possible.

We believe that BOX will bring to the options marketplace the best of all 
possible worlds, automation, low cost and transparency, coupled with price 
improvment. This most certainly leads to greater liquidity and tighter 
spreads. This ultimately benefits investors.

Thank you for your prompt consideration in this matter.

Sincerley,

Linda M. Sarkisian
President
Sarkisian Securities
