June 14, 2004:

    An open meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 15, 2004, at 10 
a.m. in Room 6600; a closed meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 
15, 2004, at 11 a.m.; and a Closed Meeting will be held on Thursday,

    Commissioners, Counsel to the Commissioners, the Secretary to the 
Commission, and recording secretaries will attend the Closed Meetings. 
Certain staff members who have an interest in the matters may also be 
present.
    The General Counsel of the Commission, or his designee, has 
certified that, in his opinion, one or more of the exemptions set forth 
in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(3), (5), (6), (7), (9)(B), and (10) and 17 CFR 
200.402(a)(3), (5), (6), (7), 9(ii) and (10), permit consideration of 
the scheduled matters at the Closed Meetings.
    Commissioner Campos, as duty officer, voted to consider the items 
listed for the closed meetings in closed sessions.
    The subject matter for the Open Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 
15, 2004, will be:

    1. The Commission will hear oral argument on an appeal by Edgar 
B. Alacan (``Alacan''), a former registered representative of J.W. 
Barclay & Co., Inc., a former broker-dealer, from the decision of an 
administrative law judge. The law judge found that Alacan violated 
antifraud provisions of the Federal securities laws through 
unauthorized trading, unsuitable trading, churning, and failures to 
follow customers' instructions in connection with his handling of 
the accounts of several customers during 1997 and 1998.
    Among the issues likely to be argued are:
    a. Whether the evidence supports the law judge's findings that 
Alacan violated the antifraud provisions;
    b. Whether and to what extent sanctions should be imposed in the 
public interest.

    The subject matter for the closed meeting scheduled for Tuesday, 
June 15, 2004, will be: Post-argument discussion.
    The subject matter for the closed meeting scheduled for Thursday, 
June 17, 2004, will be: Formal orders of investigation; Institution and 
settlement of injunctive actions; Institution and settlement of 
administrative proceedings of an enforcement nature; Litigation matter; 
and Amici.
