Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
On February 17, 2000, the Partnership informed PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP of its dismissal as the Partnership's principal accountant effective
upon completion of the December 31, 1999 audit. On May 4, 2000 the
services with respect to the December 31, 1999 audit were completed and
the dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP became effective. The
decision to dismiss PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was recommended by the
Partnership's independent general partners and approved by the general
partners at the last annual meeting of the general partners.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's reports on the financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified
as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In connection
with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through May 4,
2000, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not
resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP would have
caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial
statements for such years.
