     3.	seek or obtain, as the undersigned's representative and on the
undersigned's behalf, information on transactions in the Company's securities
from any third party, including brokers, employee benefit plan administrators

any such information to each of the undersigned's attorneys-in-fact appointed by
this Limited Power of Attorney and approves and ratifies any such release of
information; and

     4.	take any other action in connection with the foregoing which, in the

     The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever required,
necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this Limited Power of Attorney and the rights and powers
herein granted.

     The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in
serving in such capacity at the request and on the behalf of the undersigned,
