    a)   designed such disclosure controls and procedures or
         caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
         designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
         information relating to the registrant, including its

         within those entities, particularly during the period in
         which this quarterly report is being prepared;

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

5.  The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
    based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over

         the design or operation of internal controls over
         financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
         adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
         process, summarize and report financial information; and

         management or other employees who have a significant role
         in the registrant's internal control over financial
         reporting.
