    Dear Sir;
    Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the issue of position limits for precious
    metals. In light of the ongoing investigation, I would like to express my concern about the
    silver futures traded on the COMEX.
    In order to fully restore the confidence of investors and the general public, that the
    COMEX silver futures trading is conducted in an orderly manner, I would like to ask you
    to consider the following:
    a) Please establish a speculative position limit in COMEX silver of no more than 1500
    contracts.
    b) Please restrict any hedging exemptions from those limits to legitimate hedgers.
    c) 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 your consideration.
    Sincerely,
