Dear Ms. Lithotomos:
On behalf of the Trust, I respectfully request that the above-referenced Post-Effective Amendment be declared effective at 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, December 30, 2004, or as soon as possible thereafter.
As requested, we acknowledge the following: (i) the Trust is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Post-Effective Amendment; (ii) 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 Post-Effective Amendment; and (iii) the Trust 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. As indicated in the Commission's June 24, 2004 release regarding the public release of comment letters and responses, you are requesting such acknowledgements from all companies whose filings are being reviewed, and this request and these acknowledgements should not be construed as suggesting that there is an inquiry or investigation or other matter involving the Trust.
Very truly yours,
