             (File No. 333-19385) (CIK No. 1016230)
                               
Gentlemen:

     In   accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Rule  497(j)
of Regulation  C  under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act")  this  letter  serves  to  certify  that  the
most  recent amendment to the registration statement of Form S-
6 for the above captioned  Trust does not differ from that
which would have  been filed  pursuant to Rule 497(b) of the
Securities Act.   Amendment No.  1, which was the most  recent
amendment to the registration statement, was filed
electronically with the Commission on March 12, 1998.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    NIKE SECURITIES L.P.
