SUB-ITEM 77Q2: Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section
30(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 require, among other
persons,the officers and Directors of the Registrant and the Adviser
to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the shares
of common stock of the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the New York Stock Exchange .  The Securities and
Exchange Commission's regulations also require such reporting persons
to furnish the Registrant with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file .  Based on its review of these reports and on written
representations from the reporting persons that no other reports were
required, the Registrant believes that, during the years ended
December 31,2001 and December 31, 2002, there was compliance with all
Section 16(a) and Section 30(h) reporting requirements applicable to
its reporting persons.
