The Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-1
(collectively, the "Certificates") will represent the entire
beneficial interest in Mellon Bank Home Equity Installment Loan

residential properties. Only Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3,
Class A-4, Class A-5, and Class B (collectively, the "Offered
Certificates") are offered hereby.
The Offered Certificates were registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, by a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No.

requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

Form 8-K in substantially the form enclosed herewith, including as
an exhibit thereto the applicable Distribution Date report. Each
such Current Report will also disclose under Item 5 any matter
occurring during the relevant reporting period which would be
reportable under Item 1, 2, 4 or 5 of Part II of Form 10-Q.
The Trust will file a Current Report on Form 8-K promptly after the
occurrence of any event described under Item 2, 3, 4 or 5 thereof,
responding to the requirements of the applicable Item.
Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, the Trust will file
an annual report of Form 10-K which responds to Items 2, 3, and 4 of
Part I, Items 5 and 9 of Part II, Items 12 and 13 of Part III and
Item 14 of Part IV thereof, and include as exhibits thereto certain
information from the Distribution Date reports aggregated for such
year and a copy of the independent accountants' annual compliance
statement required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trust will follow the above procedures except for any fiscal year
as to which its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act have been suspended pursuant to such Section. In such
event, the Trust will file a Form 15 as required under Rule 15d-6.
