with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") and the rules thereunder;

(3)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which

complete and execute any amendment(s) thereto, and timely file any such form

(4)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being

undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the
undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

	This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked or modified by the undersigned in a signed writing, but
shall terminate automatically as to each individual attorney-in-fact when such
person is no longer an employee of the Company. This Power of Attorney may be
filed with the SEC as a confirming statement of the authority granted herein.

	The undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be executed as of October
