 COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13G," below).
(2) If any of the shares beneficially owned by a reporting person are held as a
 member of a group and such membership is expressly affirmed, please check row
 2(a). If the membership in a group is disclaimed or the reporting person
 describes a relationship with other persons but does not affirm the existence
 of a group, please check row 2(b) [unless a joint filing pursuant to Rule 13d-
1(e)(1) in which case it may not be necessary to check row 2(b)].
(3) The third row is for SEC internal use; please leave blank.

 reporting person is a natural person. Otherwise, furnish place of organization.

 (5) through (9) inclusive, and (11) are to be completed in accordance with the
 provisions of Item 4 of Schedule 13G. All percentages are to be rounded off to

Notes:
 Attach as many copies of the second part of the cover page as are needed, one
 reporting person per page.
 Filing persons may, in order to avoid unnecessary duplication, answer items on
 the schedules (Schedule 13D, 13G or 14D- 1) by appropriate cross references to
 an item or items on the cover page(s). This approach may only be used where the
 cover page item or items provide all the disclosure required by the schedule
 item. Moreover, such a use 

Sec 1745 (2/92)                     Page 3 of 7




<PAGE>

of a cover page item will result in the item becoming a part of the schedule and
 accordingly being considered as "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the
 Securities Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section
 of the Act.
 Reporting persons may comply with their cover page filing requirements by
 filing either completed copies of the blank forms available from the
 Commission, printed or typed facsimiles, or computer printed facsimiles,
 provided the documents filed have identical formats to the forms prescribed in
 the Commission's regulations and meet existing Securities Exchange Act rules as
 to such matters as clarity and size (Securities Exchange Act Rule 12b-12).
 
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13G
 Under Sections 13(d), 13(g), and 23 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
 the rules and regulations thereunder, the Commission is authorized to solicit
 the information required to be supplied by this schedule by certain security
 holders of certain issuers.
 Disclosure of the information specified in this schedule is mandatory, except
 for I.R.S. identification numbers, disclosure of which is voluntary. The
 information will be used for the primary purpose of determining and disclosing
 the holdings of certain beneficial owners of certain equity securities. This
 statement will be made a matter of public record. Therefore, any information
 given will be available for inspection by any member of the public.
 Because of the public nature of the information, the Commission can utilize it
 for a variety of purposes, including referral to other governmental authorities
 or securities self-regulatory organizations for investigatory purposes or in
connection with litigation involving the Federal securities laws or other civil,
 criminal or regulatory statutes or provisions. I.R.S. identification numbers,
if furnished, will assist the Commission in identifying security holders and,
therefore, in promptly processing statements of beneficial ownership of
securities.
 Failure to disclose the information requested by this schedule, except for
I.R.S. identification numbers, may result in civil or criminal action against
the persons involved for violation of the Federal securities laws and rules
promulgated thereunder.

filed not later than February 14 following the calendar year covered by the
 statement or within the time specified in Rule 13d-1(b)(2), if applicable.

 section 13(f) (15 U.S.C. 78m(f)) for the same calendar year as that covered by
 a statement on this schedule may be incorporated by reference in response to
 any of the items of this schedule. If such information is incorporated by
 reference in this schedule, copies of the relevant pages of such form shall be
 filed as an exhibit to this schedule.
C. The item numbers and captions of the items shall be included but the text of
 the items is to be omitted. The answers to the items shall be so prepared as to
 indicate clearly the coverage of the items without referring to the text of the
 items. Answer every item. If an item is inapplicable or the answer is in the
 negative, so state.
