                                                                    EXHIBIT 77Q3

Conclusions  of Principal  Executive  Officer and  Principal  Financial  Officer
pursuant to items 4 and 6 of Form N-SAR Certification:

Item 4. Based on our  evaluation  conducted  within 90 days of the filing  date,
hereof,  the design and operation of the  registrant's  disclosure  controls and
procedures  are  effective to ensure that material  information  relating to the
registrant  is made  known to the  certifying  officers  by  others  within  the
appropriate  entities,  particularly  during the period in which Forms N-SAR are
being prepared,  and the registrant's  disclosure  controls and procedures allow
timely preparation and review of the information for the registrant's Form N-SAR
and the officer certifications of such Form N-SAR.

Item 6. There have been no significant  changes in internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date
of the most recent evaluation of those controls by the certifying officers.

     controls; and
