     2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
          statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances

     3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial

          in net assets of the registrant as of and for, the periods presented
          in this report;

     4.   As the registrant's certifying officer, I am responsible for
          establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
          defined in Rule 30a-2(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) for
          the registrant and have:

          (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
               material information relating to the registrant, including its
               consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within
               those entities, particularly during the period in which this
               report is being prepared;

          (b)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
               controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the
               filing date of this report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

          (c)  Presented in this report my conclusions about the effectiveness
               of the disclosure controls and procedures based on my evaluation
               as of the Evaluation Date;


     5.   As the registrant's certifying officer, I have disclosed, based on my
          most recent evaluation, 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 controls which could adversely
               affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
               report financial data and have identified for the registrant's
               auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and

          (b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
               other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's
               internal controls.

     6.   As the registrant's certifying officer, I have indicated in this
          report whether or not there were significant changes in internal
          controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
          controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation,
          including any corrective actions with regard to significant
          deficiencies and material weaknesses.
