List of Other Included Managers:
On January 1, 2000, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company
("MassMutual") transferred its investment management division and its
investment advisory business to its majority-owned, indirect subsidiary,
David L. Babson and Company, Inc. ("Babson"). Babson now has investment
discretion over MassMutual's assets.
Please note that in the past Form 13F's were filed by MassMutual on
behalf of Babson and OppenheimerFunds Inc. ("Oppenheimer"). Babson
and Oppenheimer are indirect, majority-owned subsidiaries of MassMutual.
For this filing, and future filings, Babson and Oppenheimer will file
Form 13F's on their own behalf.
Babson and Oppenheimer have indicated that they exercise "sole"
investment discretion with respect to the securities positions reported
in their respective Form 13F's. Nevertheless, such positions
shall also be deemed reported on behalf of MassMutual to the extent
that MassMutual may be deemed to "share" investment discretion over the
positions as a result of its ownership interests in Babson
and Oppenheimer.
