Dear Sirs: Re: proposed bill R511993. I'd like to comment that this well-meaning regulation will stifle all independent distributors of any company who are trying to provide income to their family in an honest fashion. This onerous list of rules and regulations, although well intended, will do little or nothing to stop the abuses for which it was intended. As an example, what good would it be to disclose lawsuits (if one even knew of them) in which the company was found innocent? This would just put off prospective distributors and take up valuable time to no beneficial end. And if the company already had a policy of return to dissatisfied distributors, what good would this new regulation provide? And who would want their purchasing information provided to numerous people who they may not even know? This sounds like an invasion of privacy to me and I would be uncomfortable passing people's private information on to others. It would seem that all of these things in total, just put a damper on working an honest business. I have been with my company (Sunrider Int'l) for over 20 years and have full faith in their quality and professional practices. But the most compelling drawback to all of this is that the unscrupulous, the dis-honest, the very people that you are trying to contain, would have no problem getting around all of these 'fail-safe' regulations and continue to do their ill work. No, definitely NO, this well meaning, but not well thought out, piece of work is not going to do any of us in the direct selling industry any favors. Please use your time and energy to assist us in other areas. Thanks N. Chappell
