periods presented in this report;
4.	The registrants other certifying officers and I
are responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-2(c)

registrants Board of Directors (or persons performing
the
equivalent functions):

operation of internal controls which could adversely
affect the registrants ability to record, process,
summarize, and report financial data and have
identified for
the registrants auditors any material weaknesses in
internal controls; and
b)	any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in the registrants internal controls;
and
6.	The registrants other certifying officers and I
have indicated in this report whether or not there
were
significant changes in internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal
controls subsequent
