NUVEEN UNIT TRUSTS
SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROSPECTUS
DATED JULY 1, 1997
Starting July 1, 1997, Nuveen will provide volume incentives to dealer firms
that apply to both primary and secondary market purchase transactions of
Nuveen Unit Trust units. At the discretion of the Sponsor, volume incentives
can be earned as a marketing allowance, during the primary offering period of
a Trust by firms who reach cumulative firm sales or sales arrangement levels
of a specified number of Units of an individual Trust (as described below).
For firms that meet the necessary volume level for a given Trust, volume
incentives may be given on all trades involving that Trust originated from or
by that firm during the primary offering period. In addition, a volume
incentive of $2.50 per $1,000 of Units sold can be earned by dealer firms as
a marketing allowance for secondary market sales of at least $1 million of
Nuveen Unit Trust units per calendar quarter. Only sales through Nuveen
qualify for volume incentives and for meeting minimum requirements. Nuveen
reserves the right to modify or change the volume incentive schedule at any
time and make the determination of which firms qualify for the marketing
allowance and the amount paid.
For the Nuveen Tax-Free Unit Trusts, Insured Corporate Unit Trusts and U.S.
