Exchange Act of 1934 require that the directors and
officers of the Fund and persons who own more than ten
percent of the Fund's shares file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and

In making this disclosure, the Fund has relied on
copies of reports that were furnished to it and written
