internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

a)	designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such

known to us by others within those entities, particularly during
the period in which this report is being prepared;

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
financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit

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

b)	any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
internal control over financial reporting.
