I, Charles E. Porter, a Principal Executive Officer of the funds

1. I have reviewed each report on Form N-CSR of the funds listed on
Attachment A:

2. Based on my knowledge, each report does not contain any untrue
statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect
to the period covered by each report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
financial information included in each report, fairly present in all
material respects the financial condition, results of operations,
changes in net assets, and cash flows (if the financial statements
are required to include a statement of cash flows) of the registrant
as of, and for, the periods presented in each report;

4. The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible
for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of
1940) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rule 30a-3(d) under the 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 each report is being prepared;

b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed
under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles;

c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,
as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of each report
based on such evaluation; and

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 quarter 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 and I have disclosed to
each registrant's auditors and the audit committee of each
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 each 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 each registrant's
internal control over financial reporting.
