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

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

evaluation in connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Schedule of
