INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
On June 18, 2002, the Registrant dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP
("Andersen") as its independent accountant.
Andersen's report on the Registrant's financial statements for either
of the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of
opinion or a qualification.
The decision to change independent accountants was approved by the
Registrant's Audit Committee.
During the Registrant's past two years and the subsequent interim
period, there have not been any disagreements with Andersen on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, and there have not been any "reportable events" as defined
in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
Registrant has furnished Andersen a copy of this Form 8-K, and
requested Andersen to furnish the Registrant a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Andersen agrees with the
preceding, or, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. That
letter is provided as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
