SUB-ITEM 77Q3


(a) (i)  Based upon their evaluation of the registrant's
disclosure controls and procedures as conducted within 90
days of the filing date of this report, the registrant's chief
 executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded
that those disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable
 assurance that the material information required to be
 disclosed by the registrant in the reports it files or
submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported in substantial compliance with the 1934 Act and the
 Commission's rules and forms thereunder.

	(ii)	There were no significant changes in the
registrant's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their last evaluation.
