Item 4.     Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

   (a)      Termination of previous independent accountants.

(i)  As of June 26, 2002, the Registrant terminated Arthur Andersen LLP
("Andersen") as its independent public accountants.

(ii)  The reports of Andersen on the financial statements of the
Registrant for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

(iii)  During the two most recent fiscal years and through June 26,
2002, there have been no disagreements between the Registrant and
Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Andersen, would
have caused Andersen to make reference to the subject matter thereof in
its report on the Registrant's financial statements for such periods.

(iv)  During the two most recent fiscal years and through June 26, 2002,
there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K).

(v)  At the request of the Registrant, Andersen furnished a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it
agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated June 28,
2002, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.


   (b)      Engagement of new independent accountants.

(i)  The Registrant has appointed Grant Thornton LLP as its new
independent public accountants effective as of June 26, 2002. The
selection of Grant Thornton LLP was approved by the Independent General
Partners of the Registrant on June 14, 2002 subject to agreement on the
terms of the engagement, which action was completed on June 26, 2002,
and confirmation by a majority vote of the Limited Partners for which
purpose a proxy is being prepared.  During the two most recent fiscal
years and through June 26, 2002, the Registrant has not consulted with
Grant Thornton LLP regarding the matters described in, and required to
be disclosed pursuant to, Item 304(a)(2)(i) or Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of
Regulation S-K.
