Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors
Mellon Mortgage Company:
We have examined management's assertion about Mellon Mortgage Company's
(the Company) compliance with the minimum servicing standards set forth
in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's (MBA) Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1998, included in the accompanying Management Assertion
(Residential Mortgage Loan Servicing). Management is responsible for
the Company's compliance with those minimum servicing standards. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about
the Company's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly,
included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Mellon Mortgage Company has
complied in all material respects with the aforementioned minimum
servicing standards, except minimum servicing standard I.1. related to
ensuring that all custodial and clearing accounts are reconciled on a
monthly basis and reconciling items are cleared in a timely manner in the
Denver Servicing Center, as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998,
is fairly stated, in all material respects.

MANAGEMENT ASSERTION
(RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOAN SERVICING)
As of the and for the year ended December 31, 1998, Mellon Mortgage
Company has complied in all material respects with the minimum servicing
standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's (MBA)
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, except for
minimum servicing standard I.1. related to ensuring that all custodial and
clearing accounts are reconciled on a monthly basis and that reconciling
items are cleared in a timely manner in the Denver Servicing Center. As
of and for this same period, Mellon Mortgage Company had in effect a
fidelity bond in the amount of $300,000,000 and errors and omission policy
on the amount of $35,000,000 and did not receive a notice from its insurer
(Aetna) that the insurer has taken or intends to take action to cancel,
reduce, not renew, or restrictively modify the fidelity or mortgagee's E&O
policies for any reason.
