(E.S.T.) on February 12, 2007.
The

the

with respect to the filing;
2. the
action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority,
in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full
responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

as
defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.

truly yours,
