performing the equivalent functions):

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

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

6. I have indicated in this annual report whether there were significant changes
in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
