2.	Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the

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

particularly during the period in which this  report is being prepared;

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

employees who have a significant role in the Registrant's internal control over
financial reporting.
