     2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue

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 ensure that material information relating to the
     registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
     by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which
     this report is being prepared;

          (b)  Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
     caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed

     accounting principles;

     and

          (d)  Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
     internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
     registrant's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or
     is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
     control over financial reporting; and

     5.  The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based
on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

          (a)  All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
     design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which
     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.
