Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
thereunder;

   2.	Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete the
execution of any such Form 3, 4 or 5 and any amendments thereto,
and timely file such form or amendment with the SEC and any similar
authority, including filing this power of attorney with the SEC;
and

   3.	Take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection
with the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact,

      The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full
power and authority to do and perform all and every act and thing
