Exhibit 23.2

              INFORMATION REGARDING CONSENT OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
provides that if part of a registration statement at the time it becomes
effective contains an untrue statement of material fact, or omits a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to such registration
statement (unless it is provided that at the time of such acquisition such
person knew of such untruth or omission) may assert a claim against, among
others, an accountant who has consented to be named as having certified any part
of the registration statement or as having prepared any report for use in
connection with the registration statement.

On July 12, 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") was dismissed as the
Company's independent accountant. For additional information, see the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 18, 2002. Representatives of Andersen are
not available to provide Andersen's written consent to the incorporation by
reference into the Company's effective registration statements (the
"Registration Statements") of Andersen's audit report with respect to the
Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and for each
of the three years then ended. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a under the
Securities Act permits the Company to file this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
which is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statements, without a
written consent from Andersen. As a result, with respect to transactions in the
Company's securities pursuant to the Registration Statements that occur
subsequent to the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Andersen will not have any liability under
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact
contained in the financial statements audited by Andersen or any omissions of a
material fact required to be stated therein. Accordingly, you would be unable to
assert a claim against Andersen under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
