    Metals Heating
    CFTC Heating on Metals Position Limits
    Dear Sirs/Madams;
    Thank for the opportunity to comment on the issue of position limits for precious metals. I
    watched closely the proceedings and was impressed by the depth of questioning offered by the
    commisioners.
    I am disturbed by the information provided by Bill Murphy of GATA, provided to him by Andrew
    Maguire. If what he says is true, and the CFTCwas contacted regarding the events of Feb 5th, you
    need to explain to the public why NOTHING was done.
    The probability of the actions in the metals markets in recent times being market driven is highly
    unlikely fora number of reasons. Iam of firm belief that no new regulations need be passed, but
    simply that the commision executes it's chartered duties to PREVENT and DESTROY examples of
    market manipulation. If this is done properly, completely and consistently, no position limits are
    even necessary.
    Please take the appropriate actions to remove these market manipulation schemes. If they are
    related to internal government policy, then policy needs to change and that can all start in the
    offices of the CFTC. The truth CAN set us free.
    Sincerely,
    William Froemming
