      and have:




a)
      designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
      controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that

      all
      significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which

      and report financial data and have identified for the registrant's auditors
      any
      material weaknesses in internal controls; and




b)
      any
      fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees

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