    Attn.:Mr. David Stawick, Secretary
    Dear Sir:
    Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the issue of position limits for precious metals. Please
    establish a speculative position limit in COMEX silver of no more than 1500 contracts. Please restrict
    any hedging exemptions from those limits as well to legitimate hedgers. Please stop the levels of
    concentration in COMEX silver futures that have been experienced over the past few years on the short
    side of the market. Request your office pursue regulatory efforts to insure a level playing field.
    Thank you for all your efforts to improve the integrity of our markets.
    Sincerely,
    John C. Petti
