ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Registrant maintains
disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in the Registrant's filings under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and
forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Registrant's management, including its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Registrant's management,
including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer,
recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed
and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives.

Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Quarterly Schedule of Portfolio
Holdings on Form N-Q, the Registrant had carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including
the Registrant's  principal executive officer and the Registrant's principal
financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the
Registrant's  principal executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded  that the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures  are
effective.

(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. There have been no significant changes
in the Registrant's internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation in connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Schedule of
Portfolio Holdings on Form N-Q.

ITEM 3. EXHIBITS.

(a)  Certifications  pursuant to Section 30a-2 of the Investment Company Act of
1940 of Jimmy D. Gambill, Chief Executive Officer - Finance and Administration,
and Galen G. Vetter, Chief Financial Officer.

      (d)  Disclosed  in this  report  any change in the  registrant's  internal
control over financial  reporting  that occurred  during the  registrant's  most
recent fiscal quarter that has materially  affected,  or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant's  internal control over financial  reporting;
and

      5. The registrant's  other  certifying  officer(s) and I have disclosed 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 and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal  control over  financial  reporting  which are  reasonably
likely  to  adversely  affect  the  registrant's  ability  to  record,  process,
summarize, and report financial information; and

      (b) Any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
employees who have a significant role in the registrant's  internal control over
financial reporting.

over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Rule  30a-3(d)  under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940) for the registrant and have:

      (a)  Designed  such  disclosure  controls and  procedures,  or caused such
disclosure  controls and  procedures to be designed  under our  supervision,  to
ensure that  material  information  relating to the  registrant,  including  its
consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to us by others within those entities,
particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

      (b) Designed such internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or caused
such  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  to be  designed  under  our

purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

      (c) Evaluated the  effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure  controls

      (d)  Disclosed  in this  report  any change in the  registrant's  internal
control over financial  reporting  that occurred  during the  registrant's  most
recent fiscal quarter that has materially  affected,  or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant's  internal control over financial  reporting;
and

      5. The registrant's  other  certifying  officer(s) and I have disclosed 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 and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal  control over  financial  reporting  which are  reasonably
likely  to  adversely  affect  the  registrant's  ability  to  record,  process,
summarize, and report financial information; and

      (b) Any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
employees who have a significant role in the registrant's  internal control over
financial reporting.
