We only have one fund that has been "tainted" and it to a very little extent.	
We are in the process of changing for unrelated reason	
Just changed providers 1/1/04	
No funds implicated in the scandal are included in our plan.	
Our plan is very small and simple with only two fund providers	
Due to the growth of our company, this is not high on the priority list	
Due consideration of actions has yet to occur.	
The fund activity was not illegal, but not disclosed properly	
We worked with our fund provider to ensure that there are no problems with their funds.	
We have had extensive dialogue with our provider have determined its N/A for them.	
Risk of switching to someone that gets tainted after the switch - we're at the tip of the iceburg	
The fund posted very strong returns over the past year.	
We had already changed to a passive investment approach priro to the scandal	
We may, however, elect to make changes later.	
the fund selection within the fund family was not "tainted"	
I work for Fidelity Investments - no need to change
