INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Norwest Mortgage, Inc.:
We have examined management's assertion about Norwest Mortgage Banking's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America's UNIFORM SINGLE ATTESTATION PROGRAM FOR MORTGAGE
BANKERS (USAP) as of and for the year ended December 31, 1997, included in the
accompanying Management Assertion. Management is responsible for Norwest
Mortgage Banking's compliance with those minimum servicing standards. Our
responsibility, is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the
entity's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about Norwest Mortgage Banking's compliance
with the minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a
legal determination on Norwest Mortgage Banking's compliance with the minimum
servicing standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Norwest Mortgage Banking complied in
all material respects with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1997 is fairly stated, in all material
respects.
