Sunshine Act Meeting

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of the Government in the Sunshine Act, Pub. L. 94-409, that the Securities and Exchange Commission will hold the following meetings during the week of November 27, 2000.

An open meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 29, 2000, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 1C30, the Williams O. Douglas Room.

The subject matter of the open meeting will be:

The Commission will hear oral argument on an appeal by Seaboard Investment Advisers, Inc. and Eugene W. Hansen (together, the “Respondents”) as well as the Division of Enforcement from an administrative law judge's initial decision.

The law judge found that the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia had issued an order, with Respondents' consent without admitting or denying liability, permanently enjoining the Respondents from violating Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Advisers Act Rule 206(4)-1(a)(5) and from violating an earlier Commission Order Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and Cease and Desist Order. On the basis of the injunction, the law judge revoked the registration of Seaboard and suspended Hansen from being associated with an investment adviser for a period of twelve months.

Among the issues likely to be argued are the following:

(1) Whether the record establishes that the Respondents were permanently enjoined from violating antifraud provisions of the securities laws and from violating an earlier Commission cease-and-desist order; and

(2) If so, what sanction, if any, is appropriate in the public interest.

For further information, contact Alissa L. Baum at (202) 942-0923.

Closed meetings will be held on Wednesday, November 29, 2000 and Thursday, November 30, 2000 at 11:00 a.m.
