any  untrue  statement of a material fact  or  omit  to  state  a

responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure  controls
and  procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and
15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

  a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under  our

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

affect,   the   registrant's  internal  control  over   financial
reporting;

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 controls.
