is
inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed
as
necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may
ask
you to provide us with information so we may better understand
your
disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not
raise additional comments.
Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure

We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other

proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
In addition, please be advised that the Division of
