                      Supplement dated June 27, 1996 to the
                      Statement of Additional Information
                               dated June 3, 1996


         The following paragraph is added as the twenty-eighth paragraph under
the caption "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES" on page 17:

         "Securities Issued on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis

                 Investment in securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery
         basis may increase a Fund's exposure to market fluctuation and may
         increase the possibility that the Fund will incur short-term gains
         subject to federal taxation or short-term losses if the Fund must
         engage in portfolio transactions in order to honor a when-issued or
         delayed delivery commitment. In a delayed delivery transaction, the
         Fund relies on the other party to complete the transaction. If the
         transaction is not completed, the Fund may miss a price or yield
         considered to be advantageous.  A Fund will employ techniques designed
         to reduce such risks.  If a Fund purchases a when-issued security, the
         Fund's custodian bank will segregate cash or other high grade
         securities (including temporary investments and Municipal Securities)
         in an amount equal to the when-issued commitment.  If the market value
         of such securities declines, additional cash or securities will be
         segregated on a daily basis so that the market value of the segregated
         assets will equal the amount of the Fund's when-issued commitments.
         To the extent cash and securities are segregated, they will not be
         available for new investments or to meet redemptions. Securities
         purchased on a delayed delivery basis may require a similar
         segregation of cash or other high grade securities."
