The Registrant is requesting withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendment in order to change the effective date indicated in the Post-Effective Amendment, which will be done in a subsequent filing pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Act.

Based upon the foregoing, the Registrant respectfully submits that such a withdrawal would be consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.
