COMMISSION ANNOUNCEMENTS

     
SEC AND CFTC SIGN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING OVERSIGHT OF SECURITY
FUTURES PRODUCT TRADING AND SHARING OF SECURITY FUTURES PRODUCT INFORMATION

     On  March  17,  Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman  William  H.
     Donaldson and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman James
     E.  Newsome  today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)  regarding
     the  oversight of security futures product (SFP) trading and the sharing
     of security futures product information.
     The  Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 gives the SEC and  CFTC
     joint  authority  for the oversight and regulation of  security  futures
     products.   In  November 2002, OneChicago and NQLX began  trading  these
     products under the joint supervision of the agencies.
     "The  coordination and information sharing envisioned by  this  MOU  are
     important  steps  in  ensuring  effective  oversight  of  this   jointly
     regulated  market,"  SEC Chairman Donaldson said. "We  look  forward  to
     working  with the CFTC in fulfilling our respective responsibilities  in
     this developing market."
     CFTC  Chairman Newsome said, "It gives me great pleasure  to  sign  this
     MOU,  which I believe will result in more effective and efficient  joint
     CFTC  and SEC oversight of security futures products while, at the  same
     time, avoiding unnecessary regulatory burdens on market participants."
     With respect to security futures products, the MOU provides that the SEC
     and  CFTC will notify each other of any planned examinations, advise the
     other  of  reasons for an intended examination, provide each other  with
     examination-related  information, and conduct examinations  jointly,  if
     feasible.   The SEC and CFTC will also notify each other of  significant
     issues  arising  from these markets and share trading data  and  related
     information  for SFP activity.  Implementation of this MOU should  serve
     to  increase  the  effectiveness and efficiency of  the  joint  CFTC/SEC
     oversight of SFPs.  (Press Rel. 2004-36)

RULES AND RELATED MATTERS

     
SEC   PROPOSES   AMENDMENTS  TO  RULES  GOVERNING  EDGAR  SYSTEM:   MANDATORY
IDENTIFICATION  OF  INVESTMENT  COMPANY  SERIES  AND  CLASSES;  ADDITIONS  TO
MANDATORY ELECTRONIC FILINGS; AND TECHNICAL REVISIONS

     On  March  16, the Commission issued a release proposing to  expand  the
     information that it requires certain investment company filers to submit
     electronically  through  the Electronic Data  Gathering,  Analysis,  and
     Retrieval (EDGAR) system and to make certain technical changes  to  that
     system.
     
     Under  the  proposals, certain open-end management investment  companies
     and  insurance company separate accounts would have to identify in their
     EDGAR  submissions information relating to their series and classes  (or
     contracts, in the case of separate accounts).
     
     In  addition, the proposals would add several investment company filings
     to  the  list of those that must be filed electronically (filings  under
     Section  17(g)  of the Investment Company Act, such as the  registrant's
     fidelity bond under Investment Company Act Rule 17g-1(g)(1), and  claims
     and  settlements  filed  under Rule 17g-1(g)(2) and  (3),  respectively;
     litigation  material filed under Section 33; and sales literature  filed
     by non-NASD members with the Commission under Section 24(b)).
     
     The proposals would also make several minor and technical amendments  to
     the rules governing the electronic submission of filings through EDGAR.

     Comments on the proposals should be submitted to the Commission on or
     before the date which is 60 days from the date of publication in the
     Federal Register.  (Rels. 33-8401; 34-49426; 35-27816; 39-2417; IC-

ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

     
DAMIAN DELGADO BARRED FROM ASSOCIATION WITH ANY BROKER-DEALER

     On March 16, the Commission instituted and simultaneously settled public
     administrative proceedings against Damian Delgado (Delgado), a  resident
     of  Florida.   Without  admitting or denying the Commission's  findings,
     Delgado  consented to the Commission's Order.  The Order found  that  on
     February  27,  2004,  Delgado was permanently  enjoined  from  violating
     Sections  5(a),  5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933,  Sections
     10(b) and 15(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-
     5 thereunder, in the district court action SEC v. James Mulhearn, Damian
     Delgado,  and  Adrian  Balboa,  Civil  Action  Number  03-61747-MARTINEZ
     (S.D.Fla.).   The  complaint in the district court action  alleged  that
     Delgado engaged in a fraudulent, unregistered offering of securities  in
     Safetynet Industries, Inc.  Based on the injunction entered against him,
     the  Commission ordered that Delgado be barred from association with any
     broker or dealer.    (Rel. 34-49425; File No. 3-11434)
     
SCOTT  SULLIVAN, FORMER CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AT WORLDCOM,  SUSPENDED  FROM
PRACTICING BEFORE THE COMMISSION AS AN ACCOUNTANT
                                      
     Today  the Commission suspended former WorldCom Chief Financial  Officer
     Scott D. Sullivan from appearing or practicing before the Commission  as
     an  accountant.  Sullivan consented to the suspension without  admitting
     or denying the suspension order's findings.  The suspension was based on
     a judgment of permanent injunction entered on March 8, 2004, by the U.S.
     District  Court  for the Southern District of New York.  That  judgment:
     (1)  enjoins Sullivan from violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act
     of  1933  (Securities  Act)  and Sections  10(b)  and  13(b)(5)  of  the
     Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and Rules 10b-5,  13b2-1
     and   13b2-2   thereunder,  and  from  aiding  and  abetting  WorldCom's
     violations of Section 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) and Rules  12b-
     20,  13a-1  and 13a-13; (2) prohibits him from acting as an  officer  or
     director  of  any  issuer  that  has a class  of  securities  registered
     pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 or that is required to file  reports
     pursuant  to  Exchange  Act Section 15(d); and  (3)  provides  that  any
     monetary relief will be decided by the Court at a later date.

     The  Commission's civil complaint against Sullivan, filed  on  March  2,
     2004, alleged, among other things, that by September 2000, Sullivan  and
     other  senior  WorldCom executives knew that WorldCom's  true  operating
     performance  and financial results were materially below  the  financial
     guidance  they had given to Wall Street analysts and investors.   Rather
     than  disclose  WorldCom's  true  financial  condition  and  suffer  the
     resulting  decline  in  the  company's share price,  from  approximately
     September  2000  through June 2002, Sullivan engaged in  a  scheme  that
     fraudulently   concealed  WorldCom's  true  operational  and   financial
     results. The scheme involved improperly manipulating WorldCom's reported
     revenue,   expenses,  net  income,  earnings  before  interest,   taxes,
     depreciation  and amortization (EBITDA), and earnings  per  share.   See
     Litigation Release No. 18605 (March 2, 2004).

     Also  on  March  2, 2004, in connection with the same conduct,  Sullivan
     pleaded  guilty to criminal charges filed by the U.S. Attorney's  Office
     for the Southern District of New York.
     
     The  Commission acknowledges the assistance and cooperation of the  U.S.
     Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and the  Federal
     Bureau of Investigation.   (Rels. 33-8402; 34-49431; AAE Rel. 1977; File
     No. 3-11435)
     
COMMISSION  FILES  SUBPOENA  ENFORCEMENT  ACTION  AGAINST  ATTORNEY  FOR  THE
HARTCOURT COMPANIES, INC.

     On  March 16, the Commission filed an application with the U.S. District
     Court for the Central District of California for an order to enforce  an
     investigative  subpoena  served  on  John  A.  Furutani,   an   attorney
     representing   The   Hartcourt  Companies,  Inc.,  a  Utah   corporation
     headquartered in Pasadena, California.  Furutani is an attorney  at  the
     law  offices  of  Furutani  & Peters, LLP,  which  is  also  located  in
     Pasadena.  The Commission's subpoena sought documents and testimony from
     Furutani  concerning,  among other things,  whether  he  sold  Hartcourt
     securities  while  in  possession  of  material  nonpublic  information.
     Furutani refused to fully comply with the Commission's subpoena based on
     several objections, including the attorney-client privilege and attorney
     work-product doctrine.

     The  Commission  alleges that Furutani sold at least  40,000  shares  of
     Hartcourt  common  stock between May 8, 2003, when the Commission  staff
     informed him of its intention to file a complaint against Hartcourt, and
     May  27,  2003,  when the complaint was actually filed  in  SEC  v.  The
     Hartcourt  Companies,  Inc., Civil Action No. 02-3698-LGB  (PLAx)  (C.D.
     Cal.).   In  its application, the Commission asserts that the  attorney-
     client  privilege and work-product doctrine do not protect the documents
     and  testimonial  responses sought by the Commission and  that  none  of
     Furutani's  other  objections  provide a  valid  justification  for  his
     failure  to  comply.   The Commission requested  that  the  Court  order
     Furutani  to  show cause why he should not comply with the subpoena.   A
     hearing  on  the  Commission's application has not yet  been  scheduled.

COURT  FREEZES MORE THAN $2 MILLION OF ASSETS LINKED TO SUSPICIOUS  PURCHASES
OF CALL OPTIONS OF INVISION TECHNOLOGY INC.

SEC,  IN  EMERGENCY FEDERAL COURT ACTION, OBTAINS ORDER FREEZING CALL OPTIONS
OF  INVISION  TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCEEDS FROM SALES OF INVISION  CALL  OPTIONS
PURCHASED THROUGH FOREIGN BANKS DAYS BEFORE $900 MILLION MERGER ANNOUNCEMENT

     On  March 16, 2004, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
     New York entered a Temporary Restraining Order freezing the accounts  of
     certain  Unknown Purchasers of the Call Options of InVision Technologies
     (Unknown  Purchasers) prohibiting the Unknown Purchasers from  obtaining
     the options or the proceeds from the sale of the options. The Commission
     alleges  that the Unknown Purchasers engaged in illegal insider  trading
     in  the  last  six business days before the March 15, 2004, announcement
     that  GE  Infrastructure,  a  subsidiary of  General  Electric  Company,
     intended  to  acquire  InVision, a manufacturer  of  explosive-detection
     systems, for $50 per share in cash for all outstanding InVision shares.

     The Commission's complaint also alleges:

          During  the period from March 6, 2004, through March 12, 2004,  the
          Unknown Purchasers purchased a total of 4575 out-of-the-money March
          45  and  April  45  call options for the shares  of  InVision.  The
          Unknown  Purchasers  placed  their  purchase  orders  through   UBS
          affiliates  in  Zurich  and London and through  UPB  Private  Bank,
          Geneva  which,  in  turn,  forwarded the  purchase  orders  to  UBS
          Securities   LLC,  a  broker-dealer  headquartered   in   Stamford,
          Connecticut, for execution.
          
          The  transaction was announced before the opening of the market  on
          Monday  March 15, 2004. When InVision opened for trading  on  March
          15,  2004, the price of InVision's common stock increased by nearly
          20%  from the Friday closing price, opening at approximately $49.30
          per  share, an increase of over $8 per share from its closing price
          on  Friday,  March 12, 2004. As a result, the value of the  Unknown
          Purchasers call options increased by about $1.7 million.
          
          Also  on  March 15, 2004, the Unknown Purchasers sold most  of  the
          call  options, realizing profits of about $1.27 million.  Including
          the  unrealized profits from the call options not sold,  the  total
          realized and unrealized profits are about $1.7 million.
          
     In  the  pending  lawsuit,  the  Commission  alleges  that  the  unknown
     defendants  engaged in illegal insider trading in violation  of  Section
     10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. The complaint seeks
     permanent  injunctive relief, the disgorgement of all  illegal  profits,
     and the imposition of civil monetary penalties.
     
     The  Court's  Temporary Restraining Order prohibits the removal  of  the
     InVision  call options, or the proceeds from the sales of  the  InVision
     call options from the U.S. brokerage accounts or other entities in which
     the  securities  or funds may be.  In addition, the Order  requires  the
     Unknown   Purchasers  to  identify  themselves,  imposes  an   expedited
     discovery   schedule  and  prohibits  the  defendants  from   destroying
     documents.

     The  Commission  acknowledges the assistance of the International  Stock
     Exchange in this matter.  [SEC v. One or More Unknown Purchasers of Call
     Options  for  the  Common  Stock  of  InVision  Technologies,  Inc.,  04
