Re: Section 67


Please find enclosed a Notification of Interests filed pursuant to Section 67 of
the Companies Act, 1990.  This Notice is filed by The Capital Group Companies,
Inc. ('CGC').

The Capital Group Companies, Inc. ('CGC') is a holding company for several
subsidiary companies engaged in investment management business.  The investment
management business is divided into two operational groups, represented by
Capital Research and Management Company ('CRMC') and Capital Group
International, Inc. ('CGII').  CRMC is a U.S.-based investment adviser that
manages The American Funds Group of mutual funds.  CGII is the parent company of
five companies that serve as investment managers to various institutional
clients around the globe: Capital Guardian Trust Company in the U.S., Capital
International, Inc. in the U.S. and Singapore, Capital International Limited in
the United Kingdom, Capital International S.A. in Switzerland and Capital
International K.K. in Japan.  For a more complete description of our
organization, please visit our Web site at www.capgroup.com.

Neither CGC nor any of its subsidiaries own any shares of your company for their
own account.  Rather, the shares reported in this Notification are owned by
accounts under the discretionary investment management of one or more of the
investment management companies described above.  Furthermore, CRMC and CGII act
separately from one another and from CGC in exercising investment discretion
over their managed accounts.

For the purposes of this Notification an outstanding share balance of
754,316,084 shares was used to calculate the percentages of holdings of the
relevant share capital which determine the notifiable interest.  We believe this
outstanding share balance is current; however, if this number is not accurate,
please contact us as soon as possible so we may make the necessary revisions to
this Notification.

Should you have questions or require additional information, please contact Inmo
Khang at [phone] or Gina Martinez at [phone], or send a fax
message to [phone].  Alternatively, you may contact us via E-mail at
