of  registrant's  board of  directors  (or  persons  performing  the  equivalent
functions):

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

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 there were significant  changes in internal controls or in
other factors that could  significantly  affect internal controls  subsequent to
