Item 4.                      Purpose of Transaction.

The units of limited partnership interest are being acquired for investment purposes, without any intention of changing or influencing control of the Issuer.  Although the forgoing is an accurate reflection of the present plans and intentions of the Corporation, the forgoing is subject to change at any time.  In the event of a material change in its present plans or intentions, the Corporation will amend this schedule 13D to reflect such change.
