15(f))  for  the  registrant  and  have:

the  registrant's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting;  and
5.  The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our

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.
