    establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls  and  procedures (as
    defined in Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-14  and  15d-14)  for the Registrant
    and  have:

    a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material
        information  relating  to  the  Registrant,  including  its consolidated
        subsidiaries,  is  made  known  to  us  by  others  with those entities,
        particularly  during  the period  in  which  this  quarterly  report  is

        in  internal  controls;  and

        internal controls; and

6.     The  Registrant's  other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
       quarterly  report  whether  there  were  significant  changes in internal
