    The subject matter of the Open Meeting scheduled for Thursday, July 24, 2003 will be:

    1. The Commission will hear oral argument on an appeal by Robert M. Fuller, a former Chairman of the Board of Directors and Executive Vice-President for Investor Relations of Vista 2000, Inc. (“Vista”), from an administrative law judge's initial decision.

    The law judge found that Fuller caused Vista to violate Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, sections 10(b) and 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5, 13a-1, and 12b-20.
