    Ref: Metals Position Limits and Exemptions
    Dear Sir;
    Followinl~ the revelations at the CFTC's Public Hearinl~ on metals position limits and exemptions
    held on March 25, 2010; please establish a speculative position limit in COMEX silver of
    between 1000 to no more than 1500 contracts. Please restrict any hedl~inl~ exemptions from
    those limits to truly lel~itimate hedl~ers.
    Please stop the levels of concentration in COMEX silver futures that have been experienced
    over the past years on the short side of the market.
    Sincerely,
    Gary Hevelone
