writing, a statement from the Company acknowledging that:
* The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filings;
* Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
* The Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws
of the United States.
If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
