-----------------------------------------
Commissioners:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"),
Registrant has elected to file the certification set out below in lieu of
electronically filing definitive copies of the prospectus and statement of
additional information contained in its most recent amendment ("Amendment") to
its Form N-1A Registration Statement ("Registration Statement"), as required
by Rule 497(c) under the 1933 Act and as informed by Rule 309(b) of Regulation
S-T.
Registrant hereby certifies that:
(1) the form of prospectus and statement of additional information
that would have been filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 under
the 1933 Act following the filing of the Amendment would not have
differed from that contained in the Amendment, and
(2) the text of the Amendment, which is designated as Pre-Effective
Amendment No. 2 under the 1933 Act and Amendment No. 2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, has been filed electronically
(filing date of December 22, 1997).
Registrant respectfully advises the Commission that in filing the
certification, Registrant is relying on the Commission staff's January 6, 1998
oral confirmation that the Commission declared the Registration Statement
effective on January 2, 1998. Registrant received this oral confirmation from
the Commission's Office of Public Reference, following a referral to such
Office by the Commission's Office of the Secretary. In this connection,
Registrant has been informed by the Commission's Office of Public Reference,
as well as the Commission's Office of the Secretary, that it will take the
Commission approximately two weeks to provide Registrant with a copy of the
Commission's Order declaring the Registration Statement effective.
