Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrants hereby request that the effectiveness of the above-captioned Registration Statement be accelerated so that the Registration Statement will become effective Tuesday, April 26, 2011, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time, or as soon thereafter as practicable.
