    Dear Chairman Gensler and CFTC Commission:
    Please accept our appreciation for the public meeting held on
    March 25, 2010. This was truly a "step in the right direction".
    Thank you for the opportunity to comment on position limits for
    the precious metals, esp. the silver market. As stated in our
    previous letter, please establish a speculative position limit in
    COMEX silver of no more than 1500 contracts, and restrict
    hedging exemptions only to legitimate hedgers.
    Another area of concern is the concentration in COMEX silver
    futures, on the short side of the market, that has been
    experienced over the past several years. We feel that this
    concentration has restricted the true value of silver in the supply
    and demand market, and this restriction has been not in the
    interests of the miners or investors.
    Respectfully
    Dr. and Mrs. J.P. Tyson
