                    Independent Auditors Report and Consent


         The audits referred to in our report dated March 10, 2000 include the
related financial statement schedule as of December 31, 1999, and for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999, included in the
registration statement. This financial statement schedule is the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this
financial statement schedule based on our audits. In our opinion, such financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

         We consent to the use of our reports included herein and reference to
our firm under the heading "Experts" in the prospectus.
