establishing  and  maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-14  and  15d-14)  for  the  registrant  and  have:

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

equivalent  functions):

          (a)  all  significant  deficiencies  in  the  design  or  operation of
internal  controls  which  could  adversely  affect  the registrant's ability to

regard  to  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses.
