INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE 13G

Instructions for Cover Page

      (l)Names and I.R.S. Identification Numbers of Reporting Persons-Furnish

      the full legal name of each person for whom the report is filed-i.e., each
      person required to sign the schedule itself-including each member of a

      group. Do not include the name of a person required to be identified in

      the report but who is not a reporting person. Reporting persons that are

      entities are also requested to furnish their I.R.S. identification

      numbers, although disclosure of such numbers is voluntary, not mandatory

      (see "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13G" below).

      (2)If any of the shares beneficially owned by a reporting person are held
      as a member of a group and that membership is expressly affirmed, please

      check row 2(a). If the reporting person disclaims membership in a group or
      describes a relationship with other persons but does not affirm the

      existence of a group, please check row 2(b) [unless it is a joint filing

      pursuant to Rule 13d1(k)(1) in which case it may not be necessary to check
      row 2(b)].

      (3)The third row is for SEC internal use; please leave blank.

      (4)Citizenship or Place of Organization-Furnish citizenship if the named

      reporting person is a natural person. Otherwise, furnish place of

      organization.

      (5)-(9), (11)Aggregate Amount Beneficially Owned By Each Reporting Person,
      Etc.-Rows (5) through (9) inclusive, and (11) are to be completed in

      accordance with the provisions of Item 4 of Schedule 13G. All percentages
      are to be rounded off to the nearest tenth (one place after decimal

      point).

      (10)Check if the aggregate amount reported as beneficially owned in row

      (9)does not include shares as to which beneficial ownership is disclaimed
      pursuant to Rule 13d-4 (17 CFR 240.13d-4] under the Securities Exchange

      Act of 1934.

      (12)Type of Reporting Person-Please classify each "reporting person"

      according to the following breakdown (see Item 3 of Schedule 13G) and

      place the appropriate symbol on the form:


	Category 	Symbol
	Broker Dealer	BD
	Bank	BK
	Insurance Company	IC
	Investment Company	IV
	Investment Adviser	IA
	Employee Benefit Plan or Endowment Fund	EP
	Parent Holding Company/Control Person	HC
	Savings Association	SA
	Church Plan	CP
	Corporation	CO
	Partnership	PN
	Individual	IN
	Non-U.S. Institution 	FI
	Other	OO








      Notes:Attach as many copies of the second part of the cover page as are

      needed, one reporting person per page.

      Filing persons may, in order to avoid unnecessary duplication, answer

      items on the schedules (Schedule 13D, 13G or 14D1) by appropriate cross

      references to an item or items on the cover page(s). This approach may

      only be used where the cover page item or items provide all the disclosure
      required by the schedule item. Moreover, such a use of a cover page item

      will result in the item becoming a part of the schedule and accordingly

      being considered as "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities

      Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of

      the Act.

      Reporting persons may comply with their cover page filing requirements by
      filing either completed copies of the blank forms available from the

      Commission, printed or typed facsimiles, or computer printed facsimiles,

      provided the documents filed have identical formats to the forms

      prescribed in the Commission's regulations and meet existing Securities

      Exchange Act rules as to such matters as clarity and size (Securities

      Exchange Act Rule 12b-12).







SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13G

Under Sections 13(d), 13(g), and 23 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and

the rules and regulations thereunder, the Commission is authorized to solicit

the information required to be supplied by this schedule by certain security

holders of certain issuers.

Disclosure of the information specified in this schedule is mandatory, except

for I.R.S. identification numbers, disclosure of which is voluntary. The

information will be used for the primary purpose of determining and disclosing

the holdings of certain beneficial owners of certain equity securities. This

statement will be made a matter of public record. Therefore, any information

given will be available for inspection by any member of the public.

Because of the public nature of the information, the Commission can use it for a
variety of purposes, including referral to other governmental authorities or

securities self-regulatory organizations for investigatory purposes or in

connection with litigation involving the Federal securities laws or other civil,
criminal or regulatory statutes or provisions. I.R.S. identification numbers, if
furnished, will assist the Commission in identifying security holders and,

therefore, in promptly processing statements of beneficial ownership of

securities.

Failure to disclose the information requested by this schedule, except for

I.R.S. identification numbers, may result in civil or criminal action against

the persons involved for violation of the Federal securities laws and rules

promulgated thereunder.
