To the and Exchange Commission,

After the phasing out of most pension plans, American workers were
encouraged to set up IRAs and to invest in 401-k's, most of them
through brokers and financial advisors. These advisors and brokers
should be held to fiduciary standards and be required to consider the
best interests of their customers ahead of the lining of their own
pockets.

I'm counting on you to make a stronger rule that closes the loophole.
Americans who've worked hard to save for retirement deserve peace of
mind about their financial security.

Sincerely,

Mr. Fred Valins
