Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

During the week of June 17, 2002, we participated in meetings discussing our
sale of shares of our common stock and our equity security units. Attached as
Exhibit 99.1 is a slide presentation used at various meetings with investors. It
is not filed, but furnished to comply with Regulation FD. The information
disclosed in this Item 9 Current Report on Form 8-K is not considered "filed"
for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not
