Notice is hereby given, pursuant to Rule 1103 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("Commission") Rules on Fair Fund and Disgorgement Plans, 17 C.F.R. § 201.1103, that the Division of Enforcement has submitted to the Commission a proposed plan ("Distribution Plan") for the distribution of monies placed into a Fair Fund in the above-captioned matter.

On June 22, 2006, in the above-captioned matter, the Commission issued an Order Instituting Public Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order Pursuant to Sections 203(e), 203(f), and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Order") with respect to Weiss Research, Inc., Martin Weiss, and Lawrence Edelson (collectively "Respondents"). Simultaneously with the entry of the Order, the Commission accepted settlement offers from Respondents in which they consented to the entry of the Order without admitting or denying the Order's findings and collectively paid $2,166,143 in disgorgement and penalties.

In accordance with the Order, the Respondents paid the disgorgement and penalties to the United States Treasury and this money was used to create a Fair Fund for distribution to investors injured as a result of the Respondents' violations pursuant to the proposed Distribution Plan.
