reporting (as 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

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