         Pursuant to Rule 461 of the General Rules and Regulations under the

respectfully requests that the effective date of the Registration Statement

         o        that should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
                  delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not
                  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 the
                  federal securities laws of the United States
