required to be disclosed in the Report
is accumulated and communicated to the
Fund's management, including the Fund
Officers, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure

(ii) There were no significant changes
in the Fund's internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly
affect these controls subsequent to the
date of their evaluation, and there
were no corrective actions with regard
to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.

and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in rule 30a-2(c)

ability to record, process, summarize,
and report financial data and have
identified for the registrant's auditors
any material weaknesses in internal controls;
and
b) any fraud, whether or not material, that
c) involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the registrant's
internal controls; and

6. The registrant's other certifying officer
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 to the date of our most recent
evaluation, including any corrective actions
with regard to significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses.
