     ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION

          On September 22, 1997, we issued an opinion, from which
Commissioner
     Hunt dissented, sustaining the findings of the National Association
of
     Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") that Stoiber violated Article III,
     Sections 1 and 40 of the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice ("NASD's
Rules").
     <(1)>  Stoiber sold securities in the form of promissory notes to
     thirteen of his securities customers without giving prior written
     notification to the member with which he was associated, American
     Investment Services, Inc. ("AIS").  Stoiber now petitions us to
reconsider
     our findings and conclusions, claiming that the NASD did not prove that
the
     notes at issue were securities, that we reversed the burden of proof
     applicable in a self-regulatory organization disciplinary proceeding,
and
