         o    should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to

              foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to
              the filing;
         o    the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
              delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not
              relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy
              and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
         o    the Company may not assert this action as a defense in any
              proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under federal
              securities laws of the United States.

         If you have any questions regarding this request, please telephone
