Form N-CSR;
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue

Investment Company Act of 1940) for the registrant and have:
(a) Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is
made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this report is being prepared;
(b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
caused such internal control over financial reporting to be

assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes

(d) Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the registrant's most recent fiscal half-year (the
registrant's second fiscal half-year in the case of an annual
report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting; and
5. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have
disclosed 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 and material weaknesses in the
design or operation of internal control over financial
reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
registrant's ability to record, process, summarize, and report
financial information; and
(b) Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
or other employees who have a significant role in the
registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
