3. We have read and considered your response to our previous
comment
five relating to your accounting for investment in limited
partnerships.   We remain of the view that you should account for
those investments in which your ownership interest is more than
three
to five percent under the equity method,  in accordance with the
guidance in EITF Topic D-46 and SOP 78-9.   Please explain to us
and
quantify the expected impact on the financial statements for
revising
the accounting of these limited partnerships from the cost method
to
the equity method.
