         While the guidance in SAB Topic 11:B provides an accommodation when 
presenting the
         components separately, this does not generally extend to other 
measures that would
         ordinarily reflect all components, such as the percentages referenced 
above.

       Please contact Sondra Snyder, Staff Accountant at 202-551-3332 or John 
Cannarella,
Staff Accountant at 202-551-3337 if you have questions regarding comments on 
the financial
statements and related matters.
