Form 10-K For The Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004

Note I - Derivatives
Interest Rate Risk Management-Cash Flow Hedging Instruments, page
47

1. You disclose that an outstanding interest rate swap agreement
used
to hedge variable rate loans requires the company to make payment
at
a variable rate determined by a specified index (prime) in
exchange
for receiving payments at a fixed rate. The prime rate is not
included in the definition of benchmark interest rate and
therefore
may not be designated as the hedged risk in a hedge of interest
rate
risk.  Refer to paragraph 17 of Appendix A of SFAS 138 Basis For
Conclusions (Unamended) and tell us how you determined that hedge
accounting under SFAS 133/138 was appropriate.
