Exhibit 77K
PricewaterhouseCooperLLP served as the independent public accountants for the
Fund's last fiscal year. The client-auditor relationship between
PricewaterhouseCooper LLP and the Fund ceased as of May 18, 2000. The cessation
of the client-auditor relationship between the Fund and PricewaterhouseCooper
LLP was based solely on a possible future business relationship by
PricewaterhouseCooper LLP with an affiliate of the Fund's investment adviser.
PricewaterhouseCooper LLP's reports on the financial statements for the Fund
during the Fund's last two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the last two fiscal
years and any subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with
PricewaterhouseCooper on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCopper LLP
would have caused PricewaterhouseCooper to make reference to the subject matter
of the disagreement in connection with its report.
