                                    THE FUND
   This series of Insured Municipals Income Trust and Investors' Quality
Tax-Exempt Trust (the "Fund") consists of underlying separate unit investment
trusts described above. Each Trust consists of an insured portfolio of
interest-bearing obligations (the "Bonds" or "Securities") issued by or on
behalf of municipalities and other governmental authorities, the interest on
which is, in the opinion of recognized bond counsel to the issuing governmental
authority, exempt from all Federal income taxes under existing law. In addition,
the interest income of each State Trust is, in the opinion of counsel, exempt to
the extent indicated from state and local taxes, when held by residents of the
state where the issuers of Bonds in such Trust are located.

                              PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE
   The Public Offering Price of the Units of each Trust includes the aggregate
bid price of the Securities in such Trust, an applicable sales charge, cash, if
any, in the Principal Account held or owned by such Trust, and accrued interest,
if any. See "Summary of Essential Financial Information".

                     ESTIMATED CURRENT AND LONG-TERM RETURNS
   Estimated Current and Long-Term Returns to Unitholders are indicated under
"Summary of Essential Financial Information". The methods of calculating
Estimated Current Returns and Estimated Long-Term Return are set forth in Part
II of this Prospectus.

          THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE

          PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of Van Kampen Funds Inc. and the Unitholders of
Insured Municipals Income Trust and Investors' Quality Tax-Exempt Trust,
Multi-Series 301:

   We have audited the accompanying statements of condition (including the
analyses of net assets) and the related portfolio of Insured Municipals Income
Trust and Investors' Quality Tax-Exempt Trust, Multi-Series 301 (IM-IT, Florida
IM-IT, Michigan IM-IT and North Carolina Quality Trusts) as of April 30, 1999,
and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the
period from May 22, 1998 (date of deposit) thrugh April 30,1999. These
statements are the responsibility of the Trustee and the Sponsor. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on such statements based on our audit.

   We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of tax-exempt securities owned at April 30, 1999 by correspondence
with the Trustee. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by the Trustee and the Sponsor, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Insured Municipals Income Trust
and Investors' Quality Tax-Exempt Trust, Multi-Series 301 (IM-IT, Florida IM-IT,
Michigan IM-IT and North Carolina Quality Trusts) as of April 30, 1999, and the
results of operations and changes in net assets for the period from May 22, 1998
(date of deposit) through April 30, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

            AND INVESTORS' QUALITY TAX-EXEMPT TRUST, MULTI-SERIES 301
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                 April 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Security Valuation - Tax-exempt municipal securities are stated at the value
determined by the Evaluator, American Portfolio Evaluation Services (a division
of an affiliate of the Sponsor). The Evaluator may determine the value of the
Bonds (1) on the basis of current bid prices of the Bonds obtained from dealers
or brokers who customarily deal in Bonds comparable to those held by each of the
Trusts, (2) on the basis of bid prices for comparable Bonds, (3) by determining
the value of the Bonds by appraisal or (4) by any combination of the above.

   Security Cost - The original cost to each of the Trusts (IM-IT, Florida
IM-IT, Michigan IM-IT and North Carolina Quality) was based on the determination
by Interactive Data Corporation of the offering prices of the Bonds on the date
of deposit (May 22, 1998). Since the valuation is based upon the bid prices,
such Trusts (IM-IT, Florida IM-IT, Michigan IM-IT and North Carolina Quality)
recognized downward adjustments of $66,300, $22,650, $23,569 and $14,700,
respectively, on the date of deposit resulting from the difference between the
bid and offering prices. These downward adjustments were included in the
aggregate amount of unrealized depreciation reported in the financial statements
for each Trust for the period ended April 30, 1999.

   Unit Valuation - The redemption price per Unit is the pro rata share of each
Unit in each Trust based upon (1) the cash on hand in such Trust or monies in
the process of being collected, (2) the Bonds in such Trust based on the value
determined by the Evaluator and (3) interest accrued thereon, less accrued
expenses of the Trust, if any.

   Federal Income Taxes - The Trust is not a taxable entity for Federal income
tax purposes. Each Unitholder is considered to be the owner of a pro rata
portion of such Trust and, accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal
income taxes.

   Other - The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of
accounting. Any realized gains or losses from securities transactions are
reported on an identified cost basis.

NOTE 2 - PORTFOLIO

   Ratings - The source of all ratings, exclusive of those designated N/R or *
is Standard & Poor's, A Division of the McGraw-Hill Companies. Ratings marked *
are by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. as these Bonds are not rated by Standard
& Poor's, A Division of the McGraw-Hill Companies. N/R indicates that the Bond
is not rated by Standard & Poor's, A Division of the McGraw-Hill Companies or
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. The ratings shown represent the latest published
ratings of the Bonds. For a brief description of rating symbols and their
related meanings, see "Description of Securities Ratings" in the Information
Supplement.

   Redemption Feature - There is shown under this heading the year in which each
issue of Bonds is initially or currently callable and the call price for that
year. Each issue of Bonds continues to be callable at declining prices
thereafter (but not below par value) except for original issue discount Bonds
which are redeemable at prices based on the issue price plus the amount of
original issue discount accreted to redemption date plus, if applicable, some
premium, the amount of which will decline in subsequent years. "S.F." indicates
a sinking fund is established with respect to an issue of Bonds. "P.R."
indicates a bond has been prerefunded. Redemption pursuant to call provisions
generally will, and redemption pursuant to sinking fund provisions may, occur at
times when the redeemed Bonds have an offering side evaluation which represents
a premium over par. To the extent that the Bonds were deposited in the Trust at
a price higher than the price at which they are redeemed, this will represent a
loss of capital when compared with the original Public Offering Price of the
Units. Conversely, to the extent that the Bonds were acquired at a price lower
than the redemption price, this will represent an increase in capital when
compared with the original Public Offering Price of the Units. Distributions
will generally be reduced by the amount of the income which would otherwise have
been paid with respect to redeemed Bonds and there will be distributed to
Unitholders the principal amount in excess of $1 per Unit semi-annually and any
premium received on such redemption. However, should the amount available for
distribution in the Principal Account exceed $10.00 per Unit, the Trustee will
make a special distribution from the Principal Account on the next succeeding
monthly distribution date to holders of record on the related monthly record
date. The Estimated Current Return in this event may be affected by such
redemptions. For the Federal tax effect on Unitholders of such redemptions and
resultant distributions, see "Federal Tax Status" in Part II.

NOTE 2 - PORTFOLIO (continued)

   Insurance - Insurance coverage providing for the timely payment when due of
all principal and interest on the Bonds in the Trusts has been obtained by the
Trusts or by one of the Preinsured Bond Insurers (as indicated in the Bond
name). Such insurance does not guarantee the market value of the Bonds or the
value of the Units. For Bonds covered under the Trust's insurance policy the
insurance is effective only while Bonds thus insured are held in the Trust and
the insurance premium, which is a Trust obligation, is paid on a monthly basis.
The premium for insurance which has been obtained from various insurance
companies by the issuer of the Bond involved is payable by the issuer. Insurance
expense for the period reflects adjustments for redeemed or sold Bonds.

   An Accounting and Auditing Guide issued by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants states that, for financial reporting purposes,
insurance coverage of the type acquired by the Trust does not have any
measurable value in the absence of default of the underlying Bonds or indication
of the probability of such default. In the opinion of the Evaluator, there is no

NOTE 3 - OTHER

   Marketability - Although it is not obligated to do so, the Sponsor intends to
maintain a market for Units and to continuously offer to purchase Units at
prices, subject to change at any time, based upon the aggregate bid price of the
Bonds in the portfolio of each Trust, plus interest accrued to the date of
settlement. If the supply of Units exceeds demand, or for other business
reasons, the Sponsor may discontinue purchases of Units at such prices. In the
event that a market is not maintained for the Units, a Unitholder desiring to
dispose of his Units may be able to do so only by tendering such Units to the
Trustee for redemption at the redemption price.

   Cost to Investors - The cost to original investors was based on the
Evaluator's determination of the aggregate offering price of the Bonds per Unit
on the date of an investor's purchase, plus a sales charge of 4.9% of the public
offering price which is equivalent to 5.152% of the aggregate offering price of
the Bonds. The secondary market cost to investors is based on the Evaluator's
determination of the aggregate bid price of the Bonds per Unit on the date of an
investor's purchase plus a sales charge based upon the years to average maturity
of the Bonds in the portfolio. The sales charge ranges from 1.0% of the public
offering price (1.010% of the aggregate bid price of the Bonds) for a Trust with
a portfolio with less than two years to average maturity to 5.40% of the public
offering price (5.708% of the aggregate bid price of the Bonds) for a Trust with
a portfolio with twenty-one or more years to average maturity.

   Compensation of Evaluator - The Evaluator receives a fee for providing
portfolio supervisory services for each of the Trusts ($.25 per Unit, not to
exceed the aggregate cost of the Evaluator for providing such services to all
applicable Trusts). In addition, the Evaluator receives an annual fee for
regularly evaluating each of the Trust's portfolios. Both fees may be adjusted
for increases under the category "All Services Less Rent of Shelter" in the
Consumer Price Index.
