of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing
includes all information required under the Securities Exchange
Act
of 1934 and that they have provided all information investors
require
for an informed investment decision.  Since the company and its
management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s
disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of
the

In connection with responding to our comments, please provide, in
writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filing;

proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.

In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement
