PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The first several months of 1994 were an unsettling time for many
investors. After three years of a nearly perfect environment for stock
market investing, stock prices generally fell from February through June.
Investors disagree about whether this decline represents only a short-term
correction or signals the beginning of a longer bear market. One can
collect statistics to support either opinion, but of course, nobody knows
for sure what will happen to stock prices in the months ahead.
We do know, however, that market declines are a normal part of stock market
investing. We have historically seen corrections of 10% or more every two
years. That's why I thought this might be a good time to review three basic
investment principles that have proven helpful to successful stock market
investors in every market cycle.
First, take a long-term approach when investing in stocks and stock funds.
If you can afford to leave your money invested through the market's
inevitable ups and downs, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any
single decline. Over time, stock prices have gone up - and have
significantly outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of
inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each
performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus
reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits
the fund earns when it sells stocks that have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one, five, or 10 years. You
can compare these figures to the performance of the Standard & Poor's
500 Composite Stock Price Index - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
You can also compare them to the average growth and income fund, which
reflects the performance of 370 growth & income funds tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Congress
Street Fund on June 30, 1984. As the chart shows, by June 30, 1994, the
value of your investment would have grown to $41,056 - a 310.56% increase
on your initial investment. For comparison, look at how the S&P 500 did
over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $40,881 - a 308.81% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
A Message from Sandy Cushman, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Congress Street Fund
Dear Congress Street Fund Shareholder:
The past six months have been a trying time for stock market investors in
general and for your fund. The fund had a total return of -4.94% for the
six months ended June 30, 1994. That lagged the Standard & Poor's 500
index, which returned -3.39% during the same period. The fund also trailed
the average growth and income fund, which fell 3.57%, according to Lipper
Analytical Services. For the 12 months ended June 30, the fund rose 0.46%.
During the same period, the S&P 500 was up 1.41%, while the average
growth and income fund returned 2.01%.
What happened in the U.S. stock market? Of course, many factors affect
market performance, but rising interest rates were key. The Federal Reserve
Board raised the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each other for
overnight loans - from 3.00% to 4.25% from February through May. The Fed
has walked a delicate tightrope over the past several months. It raised
rates to curb future inflation that might result from the strengthening
economy. But it didn't want to raise rates quickly enough to stifle that
economic growth.
Rising rates generally make stock investors jittery, and 1994 has been no
exception. Investors became concerned that higher rates might slow the
economic growth that had begun to boost corporate profits. Also, when rates
go up, returns on alternative investments such as Certificates of Deposit
(CDs) and savings accounts begin to look more attractive relative to
stocks. The U.S. dollar, another negative influence, reached historic lows
when measured against foreign currencies, especially the Japanese yen.
Investors worried that a weakening dollar would make U.S. stocks less
attractive to foreign investors, and might cause the Fed to boost interest
rates further.
Against this backdrop, most of the fund's big blue chip stocks finished the
six-month period near, or lower than, where they began. It has been a more
volatile market environment than we saw over the prior two years, and one
in which a few broad themes emerged. The success stories were limited;
investors mostly rewarded those companies that showed positive earnings
growth coupled with effective cost-cutting efforts. In this market, solid
earnings growth alone didn't ensure a rising stock price.
The fund's largest sector investment - consumer nondurables - continued to
provide lackluster results. Despite the improving economy, cost-conscious
consumers continued to make it difficult for many of the larger, brand name
companies to raise product prices and maintain earnings growth. In
addition, companies such as Campbell Soup and Colgate-Palmolive found that
retailers were lowering inventories of their products, a sign of weak
sales. Their stocks suffered as a result.
Health-care stocks made up 15.3% of the fund at the end of June - its
second largest sector. The performance of this group was mixed. Drug
company stocks such as Merck and Eli Lilly continued to suffer from
investor worries about their ability to increase profits under health-care
reform. However, optimism surrounding industry mergers and consolidation
drove some drug stock prices back up again. Upjohn's performance, in
particular, boosted the fund's total return over the six-month period.
Two of the fund's larger investments - General Electric and Bankers Trust -
stumbled through the first half of 1994 after strong performances last
year. General Electric turned in disappointing earnings during the first
quarter of 1994. In addition, a trading scandal within a brokerage house
owned by G.E. hurt the stock. In the case of Bankers Trust, investors sold
the stock on worries that the falling market would result in declining
brokerage activity for the company.
On the positive side, the fund was under-weighted in electric utilities
relative to the market during the period, which helped performance. These
companies suffered from the negative effects of rising interest rates and
an increase in competition in many parts of the country.
Stocks whose performance had a positive impact on the fund were scattered
over several sectors and included names such as Eastman Kodak, United
Technologies and Boeing.
What's on the horizon? History has shown us that the movements of the stock
market are impossible to predict. The recent downturn has created better
value in stocks. Corporate profits appear to be improving, thanks to
cost-cutting efforts and the strengthening economy. On the other hand,
while the economy continues to expand, its growth appears to have
moderated. That, hopefully, will lessen fears of inflation and allow the
market to find its course.
Nevertheless, rates have already risen substantially, and it remains to be
seen what effect they'll have on corporate profits in the coming months.
This uncertainty may mean the stock market will remain volatile for the
near future. But keep in mind that the market was unusually calm in 1992
and 1993. A return to more pronounced peaks and valleys is merely a return
to historic norms of market volatility. As always, a long-term approach
helps us endure the periodic downturns that are a natural part of stock
investing.
Sincerely,
Sandy Cushman

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended June 30, 1994 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Congress Street Fund (the fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is
authorized to issue 3.8 million shares. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities for which exchange quotations are not readily
available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an
exchange), are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at
their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities maturing within sixty days are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The fund intends to retain and pay federal income taxes at year-end
on undistributed net long-term capital gains. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax
Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
redemptions in kind and will result in reclassifications to paid in
capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission the fund, along with other registered
investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may transfer
uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are
invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by
U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated
$1,120,894, which represents the current value of securities delivered in
redemption of fund shares. There were no purchases of securities during the
period.
4. FEES AND OTHER
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a quarterly
fee that is computed monthly at an annual rate of .50% of the fund's
average net assets. The management fee is subject to a reduction to the
extent that the monthly average net assets of all mutual funds advised by
FMR exceed $4 billion in any month. The management fee payable by the fund
on its portion of the excess is reduced by 10%. For the period, the
management fee was reduced by $15,407. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annualized rate of .44% of average net assets after
the fee reduction.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the
number of transactions made by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the funds' accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
