Exhibit 77Q3

The registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officers
have concluded, based on their evaluation of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures as of a
date within 90 days of the filing date of this report on Form N-SAR, that the
design and operation of such procedures are effective to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed by the investment company
in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the Commission's rules and forms. There have been no significant
changes in the registrant's internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
