captioned Registration Statement on Form S-1 ("Registration Statement") filed on
October 17, 1996.

Registration Statement will not be returned to the Company and that the
Registration Statement shall remain on the files of the Commission. The Company
requests that an order with the date of the granting of the withdrawal of the

Thank you for your continuing attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
