	This statement confirms that I have authorized and
designated James L. Chosy, Laura F. Bednarski and Matthew
B. Krush, and each of them, as my attorney-in-fact to

(including any amendments) that I may be required to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of
my ownership of or transactions in securities of
