Item 3.  This statement is filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b) or 13d-2 and the
persons filing are: Franklin Resources, Inc., a parent holding company in
accordance with Section 240.13d-1(b)1(ii)(G); Charles B. Johnson, a control
person in accordance with Section 240.13d-1(b)1(ii)(G); Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.,
a control person in accordance with Section 240.13d-1(b)1(ii)(G); and Franklin
Advisers, Inc., an investment adviser in accordance with Section 240.13d-
1(b)1(ii)(E). (Note: See Item 4)

Item 4.  Ownership

The securities reported on herein are beneficially owned by one or more open or
closed-end investment companies or other managed accounts which are advised by
direct and indirect investment advisory subsidiaries, including any
subsidiary(ies) set forth in Item 7 below, (the "Adviser Subsidiaries") of
Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). Such advisory contracts grant to such Adviser
Subsidiaries all investment and/or voting power over the securities owned by
such advisory clients. Therefore, such Adviser Subsidiaries may be deemed to be,
for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act") the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this
statement.

Beneficial ownership by investment advisory subsidiaries and other affiliates of
FRI is being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC
staff in Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, such
as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the
securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and
investment powers held by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC ("FMA"), formerly
Franklin Mutual Advisers, Inc., an indirect wholly owned investment advisory
subsidiary of FRI, are exercised independently from FRI and from all other
investment advisor subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and investment
advisor subsidiaries other than FMA are collectively referred to herein as "FRI
affiliates"). Furthermore, FMA and FRI internal policies and procedures
establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between FMA and the FRI
affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over
the securities owned by their respective advisory clients. Consequently, FMA and
the FRI affiliates are each reporting the securities over which they hold
investment and voting power separately from each other.

Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the "Principal Shareholders")
each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of FRI and are the
principal shareholders of FRI. FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be deemed
to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act, the beneficial owner of
securities held by persons and entities advised by FRI subsidiaries. FRI, the
Principal Shareholders and each of the Adviser Subsidiaries disclaim any
economic interest or beneficial ownership in any of the securities covered by
this statement.

FRI, the Principal Shareholders, and each of the Adviser Subsidiaries are of the
view that they are not acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under
the 1934 Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other
the "beneficial ownership" of securities held by any of them or by any persons
or entities advised by FRI subsidiaries.

   (a) Amount Beneficially Owned:

       19,424,576/1/

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class If this statement is being
filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has
ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of
securities, check the following [].

        Not Applicable

Item 6.  Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person

The clients of the Adviser Subsidiaries, including investment companies
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other managed accounts,
have the right to receive or power to direct the receipt of dividends from, as
well as the proceeds from the sale of, such securities reported on in this
statement.

/2/Franklin Templeton Portfolio Advisors, Inc. (FTPA) may hold some or all of
such shares under various "wrap fee" investment management arrangements. Under
these arrangements, the underlying clients may, from time to time, either
retain, delegate to FTPA entirely, or delegate on a client-by-client basis, the
power to vote the shares beneficially held by FTPA. To the extent any underlying
clients retain voting power of any shares, FTPA disclaims sole power to vote or
direct the vote for such shares.

securities referred to above were acquired and are held in the ordinary course
of business and were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with
the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the
securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a
participant in any transaction having that purposes or effect.

This report shall not be construed as an admission by the persons filing the
report that they are the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this
report.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of our knowledge and belief, we certify
that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
