MEMORANDUM DECISION
SARAH SHARER CURLEY, Bankruptcy Judge.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
This matter comes before the court upon the request of the above-captioned Debtor, Oklahoma P.A.C. ("Debtor") for a determination to what extent counsel for numerous secured creditors must file a verified statement pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2019.
This Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(a) and 157(b)(2)(A). To the extent necessary, this Memorandum Decision shall constitute this Court's findings of fact and conclusions of law.

FACTUAL HISTORY
On August 31, 1989, the Debtor filed its petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor owns real property with an estimated value of $50 million. The assets range from vacant land to land improved with houses. The houses are generating income either under agreements for sale or rental agreements with third parties.
On November 9, 1989, the City of Lafayette, Colorado ("City of Lafayette") filed a Motion for Relief from the Automatic Stay imposed under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. The City of Lafayette initially requested relief under Section 362(d)(1)[1]*389 for cause, alleging that the Debtor's petition was filed in bad faith. The Debtor filed an objection to the relief requested. On January 30, 1990, Crossland Mortgage Corporation ("Crossland") filed a Motion to Intervene in the adversary proceeding. As part of its proposed joinder in the City of Lafayette's Motion, Crossland raised issues under Section 362(d)(2)[2], alleging that the subject real property of the adversary proceeding, an incomplete shopping center named "Countryside Village" in Lafayette, Colorado, was overencumbered as a result of the indebtedness due and owing the City of Lafayette and Crossland. Crossland also alleged that the subject real property was not necessary for an effective reorganization. Crossland did not allege which creditor had a superior lien on the property.
In the responsive pleading filed by the Debtor on February 13, 1990, objecting to the intervention, the Debtor moved this Court to determine the compliance of the City of Lafayette, Crossland, three other creditors, and its counsel with Bankruptcy Rule 2019. The same law firm represented not only the City of Lafayette and Crossland, but also Valley National Bank, Kansas City Life Insurance Company and Valley National Mortgage Corp.[3]
On March 5, 1990, the creditors and their counsel filed a responsive pleading to the Motion to Determine Compliance acknowledging that the same law firm represented the aforesaid five creditors in the bankruptcy proceedings, but stating that Bankruptcy Rule 2019 was not intended to apply to individual creditors or counsel representing numerous creditors. On March 19, 1990, this Court ruled on the Motion to Determine Compliance with Bankruptcy Rule 2019 that counsel for the five creditors should immediately comply. On March 29, 1989, counsel for the five creditors filed (a) a Verified Statement in an effort to comply with Bankruptcy Rule 2019, (b) a Motion for Reconsideration of this Court's Bench Ruling of March 19, and (c) a form of Order incorporating this Court's Bench Ruling. This Court did not sign the Order presented, and held a hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration on May 9, 1990. The Court rendered its Bench Ruling denying the Motion for Reconsideration. On June 1, 1990 this Court entered an Order concerning the Motion to Determine Compliance and the Motion for Reconsideration. This Memorandum Decision incorporates and amplifies this Court's Bench Rulings on March 19, 1990 on the Motion to Determine Compliance and on May 9, 1990 on the Motion for Reconsideration.

LEGAL ISSUE
Whether a law firm representing individual creditors must comply with the disclosure provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 2019.

DISCUSSION
As a starting point, this Court notes that Bankruptcy Rule 2019 provides in pertinent part:
(a) Data Required. In a . . . chapter 11 reorganization case, except with respect to a committee appointed pursuant to § 1102 of the Code, every entity or committee representing more than one creditor or equity security holder and, unless otherwise directed by the court, every indenture trustee, shall file a verified statement with the clerk setting forth (1) *390 the name and address of the creditor or equity security holder; (2) the nature and amount of the claim or interest and the time of acquisition thereof unless it is alleged to have been acquired more than one year prior to the filing of the petition; (3) a recital of the pertinent facts and circumstances in connection with the employment of the entity . . .; and (4) with reference to the time of employment of the entity, . . . the amounts of claims or interest owned by the entity . . ., the amounts paid therefor, and any sales or other disposition thereof.
The Verified Statement should include a copy of the instrument, if any, by which the entity is empowered to act. If there are any material changes to the facts as stated in the Verified Statement, the entity should file promptly a supplemental Verified Statement. Bankruptcy Rule 2019(a).
The Rule, on its face, is extremely broad. The Rule provides as an exception to its application, any official Committee of Creditors or interested parties appointed under Section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code.[4] Therefore, its application must be to informal committees of creditors or interested parties. It is not unusual in the Chapter 11 context for these informal committees to be represented by one law firm, with the law firm to have the claims of the creditors or interested parties assigned to it, so that the law firm may act on the parties' behalf.
If there is a failure to comply with the disclosure provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 2019, the Court may, inter alia, refuse to permit the entity acting on behalf of the parties from being heard further in a Chapter 11 case.[5]
In reviewing the scope of Bankruptcy Rule 2019(a), one commentator has stated:
Rule 2019 applies only in cases under chapter 9 or chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The rule is part of the disclosure scheme of the Bankruptcy Code. It is designed to foster the goal of reorganization plans which deal fairly with creditors and which are arrived at openly. Rule 2019 covers entities which act in a fiduciary capacity but which are not otherwise subject to the control of the court. The rule, therefore, specifically excepts from its terms committees ordered organized under section 1102 of the Code. *391 On the other hand, the Code contemplates that there will be unofficial committees. Any such unofficial committee must comply with Rule 2019 by its terms . . .
The rule will apply to any entity, including an attorney, who represents more than one creditor or equity interest holder. While a failure to comply with Rule 2019 will not affect the ability of an attorney to prosecute an involuntary chapter 11 petition, the rule must be complied with by such an attorney in order to be heard on behalf of multiple creditors on any other matter.

8 Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 2019.03, pp. 2019-3 to 2019-5 (15th ed. 1989). Counsel for the five creditors conceded at oral argument on the Motion for Reconsideration that no commentator supported his position.
Moreover, this Court's review of the relevant case law at the time of the initial hearing on the Motion to Determine Compliance and subsequently at the hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration discloses only one published decision that discusses Bankruptcy Rule 2019 and the effect of an attorney who fails to comply therewith.
In the decision of In re Hudson Shipbuilders, Inc., Bankruptcy No. 83-07199-SC, Civil Action No. S84-0757(N) (S.D.Miss. 1985)[6], the District Court determined on appeal the appropriateness of an award of attorneys' fees to a secured creditor of the debtor. One of the issues raised on appeal was whether the secured creditor should be denied recovery of its attorneys' fees because its counsel had represented both the secured creditor and an unsecured creditor in the bankruptcy proceedings, and said attorney had failed to comply with Bankruptcy Rule 2019(a).
In Part III of the Opinion, the Court initially notes that "the property right in an attorney fee vests exclusively in the secured creditor." The Court then adds "[t]hus, as it pertained to [the Secured Creditor], no conflict of interest existed in the case." This misses the point, however. The attorney's representation of a secured and an unsecured creditor in the same case may have impaired that attorney's ability to represent the separate, distinct and frequently adverse interests of the clients on many issues. This impairment could result in the denial of compensation to the attorney from assets of the bankruptcy estate. The District Court then noted that even if a conflict of interest did exist because the attorney represented a secured and unsecured creditor, the trial court was in the most advantageous position to determine whether the award of attorneys' fees should be denied to counsel.
In addressing the Bankruptcy Rule 2019 issue, the District Court assumed that the attorney must comply with the Rule. The only issue on appeal was the appropriate remedy for a failure to comply. Bankruptcy Rule 2019(b) affords the trial court with a great deal of discretion in fashioning the remedy. The District Court concluded on appeal that even though the trial court found that the attorney represented conflicting interests in the case and that the attorney had not complied with Bankruptcy Rule 2019, the trial court had the discretion nevertheless to award attorneys' fees to counsel.
Although the reasoning of Hudson Shipbuilders may be questioned, this Court notes that the decision permits the trial court to determine that a failure to comply with Bankruptcy Rule 2019(a) may result in the imposition of no sanctions or remedies under Bankruptcy Rule 2019(b).
The difficulties with the representation by the same firm of the two secured claimants in this adversary proceeding quickly becomes apparent.
If the fair market value of the real property is closer to the value maintained by the City of Lafayette, it may become critical during the course of the Final Hearing, or other hearings before this Court, to determine *392 whether the City of Lafayette or Crossland has a first lien on Countryside Village. If the priority of the liens does become an issue, one law firm cannot vigorously defend the rights of both creditors. Nor is this point in dispute. Counsel for the secured creditors conceded that if this Court found it necessary to explore the priority of the liens, the law firm would be required to withdraw.
Unfortunately, the priority of the liens is very much an issue in this adversary proceeding. If this Court agrees that the value of Countryside Village does not exceed the value of $900,000 and Crossland has a first lien on the real property, Crossland becomes an undersecured creditor and the City of Lafayette becomes an unsecured creditor. Being designated an unsecured creditor would impact on the City of Lafayette's ability to receive any postpetition interest or any attorneys' fees in pursuing the vacatur of stay litigation, or to be treated as a secured or undersecured creditor in the Debtor's plan of reorganization. The interests of these two creditors are not aligned in this adversary proceeding. They cannot be represented by the same counsel.
At the initial hearing on the Motion to Determine Compliance with Bankruptcy Rule 2019, this Court indicated that the law firm should comply with the Rule and that a separate law firm should be retained for at least one of the secured creditors. The disclosure provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 2019, therefore, focused on one remedy; that is, permitting counsel to be heard as to one creditor, but because of the actual or potential conflict of interest, requiring that a second law firm step in and represent the other creditor. On this point, counsel for the secured creditors conceded that out-of-state law firms were already involved, so that it might not be that difficult to have a second law firm step in.
At the oral argument on the Motion for Reconsideration, when this Court stated that it would most likely have to consider the priority of the liens in this adversary, the conflict of interest issue became crystallized. Counsel then requested to withdraw as to both creditors, but still requested that this Court determine the Bankruptcy Rule 2019 issues as to the remaining three creditors that the law firm represented.
The Court's position remains the same as to the remaining three creditors: if the law firm can vigorously represent their interests after full disclosure under Bankruptcy Rule 2019, then it should continue to do so. If it cannot, again after appropriate disclosure under Bankruptcy Rule 2019, this Court may pursue one remedy under Bankruptcy Rule 2019; that is, direct the law firm to withdraw.
On the Motion for Reconsideration, counsel for the secured creditors argued that this Court should not be involved in the "administration" of the bankruptcy case. However, Bankruptcy Rule 2019 is a disclosure provision, which must necessarily be enforced as any other disclosure provision concerning attorneys or professionals, such as Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016.[7]*393 Moreover, the Court should also play a role in ensuring that lawyers adhere to certain ethical standards. Bankruptcy Rule 2019 was designed for such a purpose. It is part of the Chapter 11 reorganization process that all matters should be done openly and subject to scrutiny, whether it is the proposal of a plan of reorganization, representation of the debtor, or representation of numerous creditors  secured or unsecured.
Counsel advances another argument on the Motion for Reconsideration. It urges that Bankruptcy Rule 2019 is somehow in contravention of Section 1109(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. This argument is misplaced. Section 1109(b) provides in pertinent part:
A party in interest, including the debtor, the trustee, a creditors' committee, an equity security holders' committee, a creditor, an equity security holder, or any indenture trustee, may raise and may appear and be heard on any issue in a case under this chapter.
Counsel argues that Bankruptcy Rule 2019 somehow abridges the creditors' right to be heard, and must, therefore, be of no force and effect pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2075.[8] However, this Court has not denied the right of any creditor to be heard. It has simply indicated that based upon the disclosures under Bankruptcy Rule 2019 and the proceedings before this Court, counsel may be unable to represent all of the creditors. Although this Court ordered counsel to comply with the Rule within a limited period of time and withdraw from representing at least one of the creditors in this adversary proceeding because the law firm could not aggressively represent the interests of both creditors in this adversary, this Court could have ordered more drastic measures. There has been no authority provided by counsel to the contrary.
Finally, this Court notes that it rendered its decision on the Motion for Reconsideration in a Bench Ruling on May 9, 1990. A Motion for Reconsideration is not specifically contemplated by the Federal Rules. Such Motions, however, have been *394 treated as Motions under F.R.Civ.P. 59(e) to alter or amend an order or judgment. In re Curry and Sorenson, Inc., 57 B.R. 824, 827 (Bankr. 9th Cir.1986). However, there are only three grounds which may be asserted for such a motion:
(1.) manifest error of fact;
(2.) manifest error of law; or
(3.) newly discovered evidence.
6A J. Moore, J. Lucas & G. Grother, Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 59.07 (2d ed. 1989); Brown v. Wright, 588 F.2d 708 (9th Cir.1978). Much of the argument set forth in the Motion for Reconsideration was already considered and determined by this Court at the March 19, 1990 Hearing on the Motion to Determine Compliance. Counsel has included additional arguments in its Motion for Reconsideration. They have been considered and rejected by this Court in this Memorandum Decision. However, a Motion for Reconsideration should not address additional arguments. This Court should also note that it can find no error of fact or law in its prior Bench Ruling on the Motion to Determine Compliance with Bankruptcy Rule 2019.
