Dear Mr. Owings;
     With respect to your letter dated June 13, 2008 regarding your review of our filing, you request a response to the respective comments within 10 business days or for us to advise of when we would provide a response. Pursuant to my conversation yesterday with Mr. Andrew Blume, I am writing to request additional time to provide our responses. Because certain key individuals are out of town part of both this week and next week, I would appreciate an extension for our response until July 8, 2008.
     Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Ted T. Timmermans
