ITEM 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
(a) On May 3, 2000, the Registrant dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP
("D&T") as its independent auditors. The reports of D&T on the Registrant's
financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 did
not contain an adverse opinion, or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The
Registrant's managing general partner approved the decision to change
accountants. During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent
interim periods, there we no disagreements with D&T on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of D&T
would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports.
(b) The Registrant engaged Arthur Andersen LLP ("AA") to act as its
independent auditors, effective May 3, 2000. During the two most recent fiscal
years and subsequent interim periods, the Registrant has not consulted AA on
items which (1) involved the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed, or involved the type of audit opinion
that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements, or (2)
concerned the subject matter of a disagreement or a reportable event with
Registrant's former accountant.
