(a) (i)  Based upon their evaluation of the registrant's
disclosure controls and procedures as conducted within 90
days of the filing date of this report, the registrant's chief
 executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded
that those disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable
 assurance that the material information required to be
 disclosed by the registrant in the reports it files or
submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported in substantial compliance with the 1934 Act and the
 Commission's rules and forms thereunder.

	(ii)	There were no significant changes in the
registrant's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their last evaluation.

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial information included in

periods presented in this report;

4. The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible
 for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
 (as defined in rule 30a-2(c) under the Investment Company Act) for

controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the

 as of the Evaluation Date;

5. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
 based on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors
and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors
(or persons performing the equivalent functions):

a) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of
internal controls which could adversely affect the registrant's
 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 involves management
or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
 internal controls; and

6.	The registrant's 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
