Dear Mr. Rupert:

     I hereby certify on each Registrant's behalf, pursuant to paragraph (j) of
Rule 487 under the Securities Act of 1933, that:

     1. The form of prospectus and Statement of Additional Information that
would have been filed under paragraph (b) or (c) of Rule 497 would not have
differed from that contained in the Registrant's most recent amendment to its
Registration Statement on Form N-1A, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 29, 2000; and,

     2. The text of the amendment described in paragraph 1 above was filed
electronically.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ JOHN T. WEST
