          ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION

               On December 10, 1998, we issued an opinion sustaining

          disciplinary action taken by the National Association of

          Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") against Kenneth C. Krull,

          formerly a registered representative and principal of Investment

          Management and Research, Inc. ("the Firm"), a member of the NASD.

          [1] Krull now requests a "partial" reconsideration of our

          decision.

               We found that Krull violated NASD suitability standards by

          engaging in a widespread pattern of switching customers from one

          front-end load mutual fund to another, thereby placing his own

          interests in garnering commissions above those of his customers.
