Dear Sirs:

On behalf of the above named registrant we respectfully request that a filing
that was made be withdrawn.  The filing was made on April 27, 1995. The filing
was Post-Effective Amendment No. 8 to Form N-1A for the above named
registrant.  The filing was made as a submission type N-1A instead of a
submission type 485BPOS.  The filing that was made as a submission type N-1A
has the following particulars:

ACT:  33 and 40
CIK: 0000855396

On May 4, 1995 a revised filing was made on behalf of this registrant which
