          Compliance with Minimum Servicing Standards Set Forth in the

The Board of Directors
Cimarron Mortgage Company
and
President
Federal National Mortgage Association

We have examined management's assertion that Cimarron Mortgage Company ("the
Company") complied with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the
Mortgage Bankers Association of America's UNIFORM SINGLE ATTESTATION PROGRAM
FOR MORTGAGE BANKERS (USAP) during the year ended December 31, 1997, included
in the accompanying report title REPORT OF MANAGEMENT. Management is
responsible  for  the  Company's   compliance  with  those   requirements.   Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the
Company'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 the Company's compliance with those
requirements 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 the Company's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned requirements during the year ended December 31, 1997 is fairly
stated, in all material respects.
