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

for, the 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 the registrant and

material information relating to the registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those

b)	evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this

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 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.
