Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d)

    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer unanimously 
approved a resolution on September 4, 2003 to withdraw its Security 
from listing and registration on the Amex and to list its Security on 
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). The Board states that it 
took such action in order to avoid the direct and indirect costs and 
the division of the market resulting from dual listing on the Amex and 
the NYSE.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
the State of Massachusetts, in which it is incorporated, and with the 
Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security 
from listing and registration.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing on the Amex and from registration under Section 
12(b) of the Act \3\ and shall not affect its obligation to be 
registered under Section 12(g) of the Act.\4\

by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\5\
