The following information replaces similar information found in the
"Investment Details" section under the heading "Foreign Exposure" on
page 7.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and
securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations
can involve additional risks relating to political, economic or
regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include
fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes;
trading, settlement, custodial and other operational risks; and the
less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some
foreign markets. For example, many foreign countries are less prepared
than the United States to properly process and calculate information
related to dates from and after January 1, 2000, which could result in
difficulty pricing foreign investments and failure by foreign issuers
to pay timely dividends, interest or principal. All of these factors
can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets,
more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In
addition, foreign markets can perform differently than the U.S.
market.
