The information set forth in the foregoing table and example relates only to

1 fee and a contingent deferred sales charge.  See "Other Classes of
Shares."

B.    On page 3, please delete the first paragraph in the section entitled
      "General Information" and replace it with the following:
      "The Trust, formerly AARP U.S. Government Money Market Trust,
      was established as a Massachusetts business trust  under a
      Declaration of Trust dated August 30, 1979.  The Trust's address
      is Liberty Center, Federated Investors Tower, Pittsburgh,
      Pennsylvania 15222-3779.  The Trust invests in U.S. government
      obligations maturing in one year or less.  The Declaration of
      Trust permits the Trust  to offer separate series of shares of
      beneficial interest representing interests in separate
      portfolios of securities.  The shares in any one portfolio may
      be offered in separate classes.  As of the date of this
      prospectus, the Board of Trustees ("Trustees") has established
      two classes of shares known as Class A Shares and Class B
      Shares.  This prospectus relates only to Class A Shares
      ("Shares") of  the Trust.   Class A Shares are sold at net asset
      value to financial institutions which have a sales agreement
      with the Trust, or directly by the distributor.  A minimum
      initial investment of $500 is required."
C.    On page 6, please delete the second sentence in the section entitled
      "Net Asset Value" and replace it with the following:
      "The net asset value per Share is determined by adding the interest of 
the Shares in the value of all securities and other assets of the Trust, 
subtracting the interest of the Shares in liabilities of the Trust and those
      attributable to Shares, and dividing the remainder by the total
      number of Shares outstanding."
D.    On page 17, following the section entitled "Independent Public
      Accountants.", please add the following section:
      "Expenses of the Trust and Class A Shares
      Holders of Shares pay their allocable portion of Fund and Trust
      expenses.
      The Trust expenses for which holders of Shares pay their
      allocable portion include, but are not limited to:  the cost of
      organizing the Trust and continuing its existence; registering
      the Trust with federal and state securities authorities;
      Trustees' fees; auditors' fees; the cost of meetings of
      Trustees; legal fees of the Trust; association membership dues;
      and such non-recurring and extraordinary items as may arise.
      The Fund expenses for which holders of Shares pay their
      allocable portion include, but are not limited to:  registering
      the Fund and Shares of the Fund; investment advisory services;
      taxes and commissions; custodian fees; insurance premiums;
      auditors' fees; and such non-recurring and extraordinary items
      as may arise.
      At present, the only expenses which are allocated to Class A Shares as a 
class are expenses under the Shareholder Services Plan.  However, the Trustees 
reserve the right to allocate certain other expenses to holders of
      Shares as it deems appropriate "Class Expenses."  In any case,
      Class Expenses would be limited to:  Rule 12b-1 fees; transfer
      agent fees as identified by the transfer agent as attributable
      to holders of Shares; printing and postage expenses related to
      preparing and distributing materials such as shareholder
      reports, prospectuses and proxies to current shareholders;
      registration fees paid to the Securities and Exchange Commission
      and registration fees paid to state securities commissions;
      expenses related to administrative personnel and services as
      required to support holders of Shares; legal fees relating
      solely to Shares; and Trustees' fees incurred as a result of
      issues relating solely to Shares."
      In addition, please add the heading  "Expenses of the Trust and
      Class A Shares" to the Table of Contents.
E.    On page 17, please add the following sentence as the second sentence
      in the sub-section entitled "Voting Rights":
      "All shares of all classes of in the Trust have equal voting
      rights, except that in matters affecting only a particular
      class, only shares of that class are entitled to vote."
F.    On page 18, please add the following as the fourth paragraph of the
      section entitled "Performance Information:
      "Yield and effective yield will be calculated separately for
      Class A Shares and Class B Shares.  Because Class B Shares are
      subject to Rule 12b-1 fees and Shareholder Services fees and
      Class A Shares are subject to Shareholder Services fees, the
      yield and effective yield for Class A Shares, for the same
      period, may differ from that of Class B Shares.  Depending on
      the dollar amount invested, and the time period for which any
      particular class of shares is held, the total return for any
      particular class may exceed that of another."
G.     Following the section entitled "Performance Information" on page 18,
      please add the following section:
      "Other Classes of Shares
      Class B  Shares of the Trust are available only by exchange from
      Class B Shares of other Liberty Family funds. The Trust attempts
      to stabilize the value of a Class B Share at $1.00. Except as
      otherwise noted in the prospectus, Class B Shares are exchanged
      at net asset value and are redeemed at net asset value.
      However, a contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on
      certain shares which are redeemed within six full years of
      original purchase of Liberty Family Class B Shares.
      Class B Shares are distributed pursuant to a 12b-1 Plan.
      Financial institutions providing distribution or administrative
      services may receive different compensation depending upon which
      class of shares of the Fund is sold.
      The amount of dividends payable to shareholders of Class A
      Shares may generally exceed that payable to the shareholders of
      Class B Shares by the difference between class expenses and any
      12b-1 Plan expenses and Shareholder service plan expenses borne
      by Shares of each respective class..  The stated advisory fee is
      the same for both classes of shares."
      In addition, please add the heading "Other Classes of Shares" to
      the Table of Contents.
