    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.
    Thank you for all your efforts to improve the integrity of our markets.
    Sincerely,
    Richard W. Beckman
