Form N-PX is to be used by a registered management investment company,
other than a small business investment company registered on Form N-5 (Sections
239.24 and 274.5 of this chapter), to file reports with the Commission, not
later than August 31 of each year, containing the registrant's proxy voting
record for the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, pursuant to
section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rule 30b1-4 thereunder (17

its regulatory, disclosure review, inspection, and policymaking roles.
A registrant is required to disclose the information specified by Form

required to respond to the collection of information contained in Form N-PX
unless the Form displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget
("OMB") control number. Please direct comments concerning the accuracy of the
information collection burden estimate and any suggestions for reducing the
burden to the Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,
NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609. The OMB has reviewed this collection of
information under the clearance requirements of 44 U.S.C. Section 3507.
PERSONS WHO ARE TO RESPOND TO THE COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS FORM ARE NOT REQUIRED TO RESPOND UNLESS THE
SEC 2451 (4-03) FORM DISPLAYS A CURRENTLY VALID OMB CONTROL NUMBER.
The Registrant held no securities during the period July 1, 2004 through June
30, 2005 which required proxy votes and therefore there are no voting records to
report.
