College Retirement Equities Fund - IV
TIAA Separate Account VA-1 - IV


The  College  Retirement  Equities  Fund and TIAA  Separate  Account  VA-1  (the
"Reporting  Persons") are filing as a group because  their  investment  advisers
(TIAA-CREF   Investment   Management,   Inc.   and  Teachers   Advisors,   Inc.,
respectively),  while distinct  entities,  are affiliated and employ some of the
same investment  personnel.  However,  because separate investment decisions are
made with respect to the respective  portfolio holdings of each of the Reporting
Persons  and there is no oral or  written  agreement  or  arrangement  among the
Reporting Persons with respect to acquisition,  voting, disposition or otherwise
of their securities, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the
others'  securities  holdings and disclaims  its  membership in a group with the
other Reporting Person.
