defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant
and have:
 
 a)    
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision,  to

consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this  report is being
prepared;
 
 b)

and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over
financial reporting are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information;
and
 
 b)        Any fraud, whether or not
material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant
role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
