We, as members of management of Temple-Inland Financial Services, Inc. and

responsible for complying with the minimum servicing standards as set forth in
the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's UNIFORM SINGLE ATTESTATION PROGRAM
FOR MORTGAGE BANKERS (the "USAP"). We are also responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over compliance with these standards. We
have performed an evaluation of the Company's compliance with the minimum
servicing standards as set forth in the USAP as of December 31, 1997 and for the
15 month period then ended. Based on this evaluation, we assert that during the
15 month period ended December 31, 1997, the Company complied, in all material
respects, with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the USAP.
During the 15 month period ended December 31, 1997, the Company did not
consistently document its supervisory review and approval of custodial account
reconciliations. Although not consistently documented, in most instances a
supervisory review had taken place. As of January 1998, a procedure to document
supervisory review and approval had been instituted. Because a supervisory
review was made in most instances, we believe this is not a material
noncompliance with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the USAP.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company had in effect a fidelity bond and errors
and omissions policy in the amount of $30,000,000.
