Instructions for Cover Page

(1)            Names and I.R.S. Identifying Numbers of Reporting Persons -
               Furnish the full legal name of each person for whom the report is
               filed - i.e., each person required to sign the schedule itself-
               including each member of a group. Do not include the name of a
               person required to be identified in the report but who is not a
               reporting person. Reporting persons that are entities are also
               requested to furnish their I.R.S. identification numbers,
               although disclosure of such numbers is voluntary, not mandatory
               (see "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR 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 described 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(k)(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.

(4)            Citizenship or Place of Organization - Furnish citizenship if the
               named reporting person is a natural person. Otherwise, furnish
               place of organization.

(5)-(9), (11)  Aggregate Amount Beneficially Owned By Each Reporting Person,
               Etc. Rows (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 the nearest tenth (one place
               after decimal point).

(10)           Check if the aggregate amount reported as beneficially owned in
               row (9) does not include shares as to which beneficial ownership
               is disclaimed pursuant to Rule 13d-4 [17 CFR 240.13d-4] under the
               Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(12)           Type of Reporting Persons-Please classify each "reporting person"
               according to the following breakdown (see Item 3 of Schedule 13G)
               and place the appropriate symbol on the form:

                        Category                Symbol

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 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 coverage 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 Social Security or 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. Social Security
or 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
Social Security or 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.
