       (a)    all  significant  deficiencies  in  the  design  or  operation  of

              and have  identified  for the  registrant's  auditors any material

              other  employees who have a significant  role in the  registrant's
              internal controls; and

6.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I have indicated in this
     annual  report  whether or not there were  significant  changes in internal
