    Proposed Speculative Position Limits on
    Energy

    Dear Mr. Stawick:
    I am writing in support of the CFTC's Proposed Federal Speculative
    Position Limits that will reestablish speculative position limits on maj or
    energy commodities. This rule will provide stability to the marketplace
    and help prevent future price bubbles. The CFTC must quickly approve a
    strong rule to protect America's struggling economy. Wall Street's
    speculative trading in oil not only hurts the economy, but hurts every
    American who pays excessive prices at the pump, for groceries, home
    heating oil and everything related to transportation.
    Energy consumers desperately need stability in the marketplace. I
    encourage the CFTC to adopt the Proposed Federal Speculative Position
    Limits before volatile fuel prices further harm the country's already
    weakened economy.
    Allow no one to purchase oil who DOES NOT OWN A REFINERY ! ! All
    purchases must be delivered directly to the buyer, no middle-man.
    Sincerely,
    Tom Garrison
