    Dear Commissioners:
    I listened and have studied with interest your recent hearing on
    position limits in the precious metals. There seams to be no "market
    making" reason for concentrated large long or short positions in the
    metals except to aid in "market manipulation". I feel, along with
    others, that 1500 contracts is adequate for all participants.
    Exemptions should only be granted to legitimate producers or users
    "period" and then only for very specific events with time lines. We
    look to you to free this market and allow true price discovery not
    dominated by a few self interested players.
    Sincerely,
    Jeff Livingston
