Rule 497(j) filing
Dear Sir or Madam:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
this letter serves as certification that the form of Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information that would have been filed under paragraph (c) of Rule
497 would not have differed from those contained in Post-Effective Amendment
Nos. 1/4 (the "Post Effective Amendment") to the Registration Statement of the
Fund. The Post Effective Amendment was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission electronically on December 29, 2000.
Please direct any questions or comments relating to this certification
to me at the above phone number.
Very truly yours,
/s/Jennifer M. Rogers
