INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Meritech Mortgage Services, Inc.
Fort Worth, Texas

We have examined managements assertion about Meritech Mortgage
Services, Inc.s (Meritech) compliance with the minimum servicing
standards identified in the Mortgage Bankers Association of Americas
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in the accompanying
management assertion.  Management is responsible for Meritechs compliance
with those minimum servicing standards.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on managements assertion about Meritechs compliance
based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and
accordingly, included examining on a test basis evidence about
Meritechs compliance with the minimum servicing standards and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our examination does not provide a legal determination on Meritechs
compliance with the minimum standards or its servicing requirements.

In our opinion, managements assertion that Meritech complied with the
aforementioned minimum servicing standards except as noted in managements
assertion as of and for the year ended December 31,1999 is fairly stated in
all material respects.

MANAGEMENT ASSERTION

As of and for the year ended December 31, 1999. Meritech Mortgage
Services, Inc. has complied in all material respects with their established
minimum servicing standards which were derived from the Mortgage Bankers
Association of Americas Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers except for the following:
(i) Periodically, through June 1999 various accounts were not reconciled
in a timely manner.  However, all accounts have been and were reconciled
within the required 45 days subsequent to June 1999 and for the month ended
December 31, 1999 and
(ii) periodically, through 1999, escrow funds on paid in full accounts were
not returned to the mortgagee in compliance with state guidelines.
Management has seen that system controls were enhanced to insure proper
refund of custodial funds occurs within state guidelines.  As of and for
this same period, Meritech Mortgage Services, Inc. had in effect a fidelity
bond and errors and omissions policy in the amount of $25 million and
$6 million, respectively.
