     AFFIDAVIT OF EXEMPTION FROM WITHHOLDING IN LIEU OF W-4

Consistent and  in pari  materia  with  Section  3402(n)  of  the
Internal Revenue  Code ("IRC"),  shown herewith, I hereby certify
to being  EXEMPT by  law from all federal income tax withholdings
because:

A.   No liability  for income  tax has knowingly been incurred by
     Me under Subtitle A in the past year or in previous years.

B.   No liability for income tax will knowingly be incurred by Me
     under Subtitle A in the current year or in future years.

Effective immediately, stop all federal tax withholdings.

The only  statutes which  impose a specific liability for federal
income taxes  imposed by  Subtitle A are those which are found in
the provisions  applicable to  withholding agents, as itemized in
the definition of "Withholding agent" at IRC 7701(a)(16).

Thank you for your consideration.


                          VERIFICATION

The Undersigned  hereby verifies, under penalty of perjury, under
the laws  of the  United States  of America,  without the "United
States" (federal  government), that  the above  statement is true
and correct,  to the  best of  My current information, knowledge,
and belief, so help Me God, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746(1).
