Dear Sir or Madam:

On behalf of the Registrants, pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), we hereby respectfully request that the effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement be accelerated to 10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Monday, October 25, 2004, or as soon thereafter as possible.

We hereby acknowledge that, should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or the staff thereof, acting pursuant to designated authority, declare the above-referenced Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to such Registration Statement; that the action of the Commission or the staff thereof, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrants from their full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in such Registration Statement; and that the Registrants may not assert such action as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
