David,

    Thank you for taking the time to respond. 

    Could you clarify why JA views the PX selling diamonds over 1 carat
    more of a threat to small business owners than other venues of
    wholesale merchandise (e.g. Costco)? Have you considered that the
    effect isn't just stateside, but that it affects people (thousands)
    who live overseas? 

    It's unfortunate that your publication which spelled out your lobby
    on Congress didn't provide enough background...but conversely, it
    still bothers me as a consumer, a voter, and a veteran that because
    one aspect of a competitive market can be directed by Congress,
    pressure is being applied to do so. In today's market, there are so
    many venues to purchase a deal on diamonds (in comparison to the
    physical jewelry store), it just appears that you are picking on one
    small part of the market. 

Thank you,
Miachelle
