Statements.
ITEM 4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT.
  (a)(i) Fidelity Congress Street Fund (the fund) was incorporated under
the laws of Massachusetts as Congress Street Fund on August 12, 1960.  On
October 7, 1980, the fund's name was changed to Fidelity Congress Street
Fund, Inc.  As of the close of business on December 31, 1984, the fund was
reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust, at which time its name was
changed to Fidelity Congress Street Fund.  The fund is classified as an
open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the 1940 Act).
  (a)(ii) The fund seeks long-term growth of capital and income.  This
objective may not be changed without a vote of the majority of the fund's
voting securities as defined in the 1940 Act.  The fund primarily invests
in equity securities.  Because securities fluctuate in value and income
distributed by corporations varies with earnings, and economic conditions
change, the fund's investment adviser (the Adviser) cannot give assurance
that the fund's investment objective will be achieved.  The fund believes
that income over a period of time generally follows capital values;
therefore, the fund in its investment policy does not give special emphasis
to current income in security selection.  It is the fund's policy to remain
substantially fully invested in equity securities, such as common stocks
and securities with conversion privileges, except for cash and short-term
obligations to meet current cash needs.
 Options and Futures Contracts.  The fund may buy and sell options and
futures contracts to manage its exposure to changing interest rates,
security prices, and currency exchange rates.  Some options and futures
strategies, including selling futures, buying puts and writing calls, tend
to hedge the fund's investments against price fluctuations.  Other
strategies, including buying futures, writing puts, and buying calls, tend
to increase market exposure.  Options and futures may be combined with each
other or with forward contracts in order to adjust the risk and return
characteristics of the overall strategy.  The fund may invest in options
and futures based on any type of security, index, or currency, including
options and futures traded on foreign exchanges and options not traded on
exchanges.
 Options and futures can be volatile investments, and involve certain
risks.  If FMR applies a hedge at an inappropriate time or judges market
conditions incorrectly, options and futures strategies may lower the fund's
return.  The fund could also experience losses if the prices of its options
and futures positions were poorly correlated with its other investments, or
if it could not close out its positions because of an illiquid secondary
market.
 The fund will not hedge more than 25% of its total assets by selling
futures, buying puts and writing calls under normal conditions.  In
addition, the fund will not buy futures or write puts whose underlying
value exceeds 25% of its total assets, and will not buy calls with a value
exceeding 5% of its total assets.  The fund's policies regarding futures
contracts and options are not fundamental and may be changed at any time
without shareholder approval.
 Securities Lending.  The fund may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or institutional investors, including Fidelity Brokerage
Services, Inc. (FBSI).  FBSI is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and
a subsidiary of FMR Corp.
 Securities lending allows the fund to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income.  Since there may
be delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or even a loss of rights in
collateral supplied should the borrower fail financially, loans will be
made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of good standing.  Furthermore,
they will only be made if, in FMR's judgment, the consideration to be
earned from such loans would justify the risk.
 FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that the fund
may engage in loan transactions only under the following conditions:  (1)
the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of cash or cash
equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the borrower; (2) the
borrower must increase the collateral whenever the market value of the
securities loaned (determined on a daily basis) rises above the value of
the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the fund must be able to terminate
the loan at any time; (4) the fund must receive reasonable interest on the
loan or a flat fee from the borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any
dividends, interest, or other distributions on the securities loaned and to
any increase in market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable
custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees
must be able to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by
terminating the loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with
the borrower.
 Cash received through loan transactions may be invested in any security in
which the fund is authorized to invest.  Investing this cash subjects that
investment, as well as the security loaned, to market forces (i.e., capital
appreciation or depreciation).
 Affiliated Bank Transactions.  Pursuant to exemptive orders issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the fund may engage in
transactions with banks that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated
persons" of the fund under the the 1940 Act.  Such transactions may be
entered into only pursuant to procedures established and periodically
reviewed by the Board of Trustees.  These transactions may include
repurchase agreements with custodian banks; purchases, as principal, of
short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest
U.S. banks (measured by deposits); transactions in municipal securities;
and transactions in U.S. government securities with affiliated banks that
are primary dealers in these securities.
 Fund's Rights as a Shareholder.  The fund does not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company.  The fund, however,
may exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate its views on
important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, and
shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such matters could have
a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. 
The activities that the fund may engage in, either individually or in
conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing
proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities;
seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in
a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of
the company or a portion of its assets; or supporting or opposing third
party takeover efforts.  This area of corporate activity is increasingly
prone to litigation and it is possible that the fund could be involved in
lawsuits related to such activities.  FMR will monitor such activities with
a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation
against the fund and the risk of actual liability if the fund is involved
in litigation.  No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against
the fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.
 Reverse Repurchase Agreements.  In a reverse repurchase agreement, the
fund sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time.  While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement. 
The fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties
whose creditworthiness is deemed satisfactory by FMR.  Such transactions
may increase fluctuations in the market value of the fund's assets and may
be viewed as a form of leverage.
  (b) The fundamental investment restrictions described below have been
adopted by the fund.  Unless otherwise specified, neither these
restrictions nor the investment objective described above may be changed
without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the fund.  The fund may
not:
   (1) purchase the securities of any issuer if such purchase, at the time
thereof, would cause more than 5% of the value of the fund's total assets
at market value to be invested in the securities of such issuer (other than
obligations of the United States, its agencies and instrumentalities);
   (2) purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result thereof, the
fund would own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such
issuer;
   (3) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
   (4) engage in short sales of securities unless at all times while a
short position is open the fund owns or has the right to acquire the same
securities in an amount at least equal thereto; and provided that, for this
purpose, transactions in options and futures contracts shall not constitute
short sales of securities;
   (5) buy any securities or other property on margin; provided that
payment of initial and variation margin in connection with transactions in
futures contracts or options on futures contracts shall not constitute
purchasing securities on margin;
   (6) borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or
emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not
exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets (including the amount
borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings).  Any borrowings that
come to exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's total assets by reason of a decline in
net assets will be reduced within 3 days to the extent necessary to comply
with the 33 1/3% limitation;
   (7) underwrite securities issued by others except insofar as it may
technically be deemed to be an underwriter in selling a portfolio security
under circumstances which may require registration of the same under the
Securities Act of 1933;
   (8) concentrate its investments in any one industry, except that it may
invest up to 25% of the value of its total assets in any one industry. 
Emphasis on investments in securities of a particular industry will be
shifted whenever the Adviser believes that such action is desirable for
investment reasons;
   (9) buy or sell real estate, except that the fund may purchase or hold
securities issued by companies such as real estate investment trusts which
deal in real estate or interests therein;
   (10) buy or sell physical commodities (but this shall not prevent the
fund from purchasing and selling futures contracts or options on futures
contracts) unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities;
   (11) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than
33 1/3% of the fund's total assets would be lent to other parties, except
(i) through the purchase of a portion of an issue of debt securities in
accordance with its investment objective, policies, and limitations, or
(ii) by engaging in repurchase agreements with respect to portfolio
securities;
   (12) purchase securities issued by other investment companies or trusts
except in the open market where no commission other than the ordinary
broker's commission is paid, or as a part of a merger or consolidation, and
in no event may investments in such securities exceed 10% of the value of
the total assets taken at market of the fund, nor may the fund purchase or
retain securities issued by open-end investment companies other than
itself; or
   (13) invest its assets in the securities of companies which, including
their predecessors, have a record of less than three years' continuous
operation, although it may invest up to 5% of the total assets of the fund
taken at market in (a) companies not meeting the above requirements but
substantially all of whose assets are either securities of other companies
with a record of at least three years' continuous operation or assets of
another company's independent division which has such a record; or (b)
regulated public utilities or pipe-line companies which do not have such a
record.
 THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NON-FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL:
    (i) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered
investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as
investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with
any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for
purposes of fundamental investment limitation (6)).  The fund will not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding.  The fund will not borrow from other funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings
immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total
assets.
    (ii) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by lending money (up to 5% of the
fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for
which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser.  (This limitation
does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.)
    (iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of
any issuer if those officers and Trustees of the fund and those officers
and directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the
securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's
securities.
   Investment Limitation (6) is construed in conformity with 1940 Act, and,
accordingly, "3 days" means three days exclusive of Sundays and holidays. 
If the fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater
fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off.  To this extent, purchasing
securities when borrowings are outstanding may involve an element of
leverage.
  In a repurchase agreement the fund buys a security and simultaneously
promises to sell it back at a higher price.  The fund may also make
securities loans to broker-dealers and institutional investors, including
FBSI.  In the event of the bankruptcy of the other party to either a
repurchase agreement or a securities loan, the fund could experience delays
in recovering either its cash or the securities lent.  To the extent that,
in the meantime, the value of the securities lent had increased, or the
value of the securities purchased had decreased, the fund could experience
a loss.  In all cases, FMR must find the creditworthiness of the other
party to the transaction satisfactory.
 Interfund Borrowing Program.  The fund has received permission from the
SEC to lend money to and borrow money from other funds advised by FMR or
its affiliates.  Interfund loans and borrowings normally will extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days.  The fund will
lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those
available at the same time from other short-term investments (such as
repurchase agreements), and will borrow through the program only when the
costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans.  The fund will not
lend more than 5% of its assets to other funds, and will not borrow through
the program if, after doing so, total outstanding borrowings would exceed
15% of total assets.  Loans may be called on one day's notice, and the fund
may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund
loan is called or not renewed.  Any delay in repayment to a lending fund
could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing
costs.  The fund's policies regarding the interfund borrowing program are
not fundamental.
  (c) Principal risk factors discussion in item 4(a)(ii) is complete.
ITEM 5. MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND.
  (a) The fund's Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall
management of the fund.
  (b) (i) The fund employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other
services to the fund.  FMR is the original Fidelity company, founded in
1946 with offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.  It
provides a number of mutual funds and other clients with investment
research and portfolio management services.  It maintains a large staff of
experienced investment personnel and a full complement of related support
facilities.  As of January 31, 1994, FMR advised funds having more than 15
million shareholder accounts with a total value of more than $225 billion.
   (ii) Under the management contract with the fund, dated September 1,
1989 (approved by a majority of shareholders on August 24, 1989), FMR acts
as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of
Trustees, directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its
investment objective, policies, and limitations.  FMR also provides the
fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the
fund's investments and compensates all officers of the fund, all Trustees
who are "interested persons" of the fund or of FMR, and all personnel of
the fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical, and
investment activities.  In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the
supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and
administrative services necessary for the operation of the fund.  The
services include providing facilities for maintaining the fund's
organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing
agents, accountants, underwriters, and other persons dealing with the fund;
preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder
relations; maintaining the fund's records and the registration of the
fund's shares under federal and state law; developing management and
shareholder services for the fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations, and
analyses on a variety of subjects to the fund's Board of Trustees.
   (iii) In consideration therefor, the fund pays a management fee to FMR
computed monthly and paid quarterly at the annual rate of 0.5% of the
average net assets of the fund throughout the month.  The management
contract also provides that, to the extent that the aggregate average net
assets of the funds advised by FMR exceed $4 billion in any month, the
management fee payable by the fund for that month on its portion of that
excess (determined on the basis of the fund's portion of the aggregate
average net assets) will be reduced by 10%.
 In case of initiation or termination of this contract during any month,
the fee for that month will be reduced proportionately on the basis of the
number of business days during which it is in effect and the fee will be
computed using the average net assets for the business days the contract
was in effect.  In addition, the applicability of the 10% fee reduction
will be determined on the basis of average net assets of the funds advised
by FMR over the same period.  For the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992,
and 1991, FMR earned $288,973, $291,333, and $284,185, respectively, for
its services as investment adviser after reductions of $27,774, $7,855, and 
$30,468, respectively.
 The management contract between the fund and FMR will continue in force
until July 31, 1994 and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the
continuance after such date shall be specifically approved at least
annually (i) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the fund who are
not "interested persons" of the fund or FMR, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by the vote of
a majority of the Trustees of the fund or by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the fund.  The agreement is terminable
without penalty on sixty days' written notice by either the fund or FMR,
and terminates automatically in the event of its assignment.  In the event
that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser of the fund, the right of the
fund to use the identifying name "Fidelity" may be withdrawn.
  (c) Not applicable.
  (d) Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), 82 Devonshire Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109, an affiliate of FMR, is transfer, dividend disbursing,
and shareholders' servicing agent for the fund.  FSC also administers the
fund's securities lending program.  Under the current contract with FSC,
the fund pays an annual fee of $26.03 per basic retail account with a
balance of $5,000 or more, $15.31 per basic retail account with a balance
of less than $5,000, and a supplemental activity charge of $6.11 for
monetary transactions.  The fees and charges are subject to annual cost
escalation based on changes in postal rates and changes in wage and price
levels as measured by the National Consumer Price Index for Urban Areas.
  Under the current contract, FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated
with providing transfer agent services.  In addition, FSC bears the expense
of typesetting, printing, the mailing of reports, notices, and statements
to shareholders, except proxy statements.
  The transfer agent fees paid to FSC for the fiscal years ended December
31, 1993, 1992, and 1991 were $8,026, $5,229, and $3,111, respectively (not
including an interest credit of $760 for 1991 related to adjustments to
prior period fees).  For fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991 there were no
reimbursements to FSC for out-of-pocket expenses related to transfer agent
services.
  The fund's contract with FSC also provides that FSC will perform the
calculations necessary to determine the fund's net asset value per share
and dividends and maintain the fund's accounting records.  Prior to July 1,
1991, the annual fee for these pricing and bookkeeping services was based
on two schedules, one pertaining to the fund's average net assets, and one
pertaining to the type and number of transactions the fund made.  The fee
rates, in effect as of July 1, 1991, are based on the fund's average net
assets, specifically, .06% for the first $500 million of average net assets
and .03% for average net assets in excess of $500 million.  The fee is
limited to a minimum of $45,000 and a maximum of $750,000 per year.  For
fiscal 1993, 1992, and 1991, the fees paid to FSC for pricing and
bookkeeping services (including related out-of-pocket expenses) were
$45,439, $45,660, and $53,943, respectively.
  FSC also receives fees for administering the fund's securities lending
program.  Securities lending fees are based on the number and duration of
individual securities loans.  The fund did not participate in the
securities lending program during the 1993, 1992, and 1991 fiscal years.
  (e) In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable
to FSC, the fund pays:  all expenses of those Trustees of the fund who are
not "interested persons" of the fund or FMR; interest; expenses, brokerage
fees and commissions; custodian charges; auditing and legal expenses;
insurance expenses; association membership dues; and the expense of
shareholder meetings and proxy solicitations therefor.  The fund is also
liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including any
litigation to which the fund may be a party and any obligation of the fund
to indemnify its Trustees with respect to liabilities which they may incur
in their capacity as such.
  (f) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CAPITAL STOCK AND OTHER SECURITIES.
  (a) The fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest.  No
certificates are issued.  These shares have non-cumulative voting rights,
which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the
election of Trustees can elect 100% of the Trustees if they choose to do
so.  Because the fund is a Massachusetts business trust, the fund is not
required to hold annual meetings.  However, a majority of the Board of
Trustees or shareholders representing 10% or more of the shares of the fund
may call meetings for any purpose, including the purpose of voting on
removal of one or more of the Trustees.
 Each share of beneficial interest of the fund has one vote, and when
issued is fully paid and non-assessable.  Fractional shares may be issued
by the fund and when issued have the same rights proportionately as full
shares.  Each share of the fund is transferable by endorsement or stock
power in the customary manner, but the fund is not bound to recognize any
transfer until it is recorded on its books.  Each share is entitled to
share equally in any dividends or distributions declared by the fund's
Board of Trustees.  In the event of liquidation of the fund, the holders of
its shares are entitled to all assets remaining for distribution after
satisfaction of all outstanding liabilities and are entitled to share
therein in proportion to the number of shares held.  The shares of the fund
carry no conversion, subscription, or other pre-emptive rights except the
right to require redemption thereof by the fund.
 Shareholder and Trustee Liability.  The fund is an entity of the type
commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust."  Under Massachusetts
law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the trust.  The Declaration of
Trust provides that the fund shall not have any claim against shareholders
except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that
each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the
fund or the Trustees shall include a provision limiting the obligations
created thereby to the fund and its assets.  The Declaration of Trust
provides for indemnification out of the fund's property of any shareholder
held personally liable for the obligations of the fund.  The Declaration of
Trust also provides that the fund shall, upon request, assume the defense
of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the
fund and satisfy any judgment thereon.  Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to
circumstances in which the fund itself would be unable to meet its
obligations.  FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is remote.
 The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for any neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a Trustee
against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of their office.
  (b)-(d) Inapplicable.
  (e) Shareholder inquiries may be made by writing Fidelity Investments, 82
Devonshire Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109.
  (f)-(g) Distributions.  The Board of Trustees will determine the amounts
to be distributed to shareholders and the time or times when distributions
will be made.  Dividends and distributions from short-term capital gains
are payable in shares of the fund computed at net asset value or, at the
election of each shareholder, in cash.
 The fund distributes all its net investment income (if any) as dividends
each year.  Dividends normally are paid semiannually in April and January. 
Whether a shareholder takes dividend payments in cash or reinvests them in
additional shares of the fund, they will be taxable as ordinary income.  A
portion of the fund's dividends may be eligible for the dividends received
deduction for corporations.  This portion will be based on the amount of
the fund's gross income that consists of qualifying dividends from domestic
corporations.  Shareholders will receive a statement telling them how much
of their dividend income qualified for the deduction.
 Net realized long-term capital gains are normally retained, but may at the
discretion of the Trustees be distributed in shares of the fund at net
asset value or at the election of each shareholder, in cash.  When net
taxable long-term capital gains are retained by the fund, the fund pays
Federal corporate tax on the retained capital gains.  Each shareholder must
report his proportionate share of the retained capital gain and is allowed
a credit on his return for his proportionate share of the tax paid by the
fund.  Each shareholder also increases the tax basis of his shares
currently by 65% of his proportionate share of the retained capital gain. 
This number will decrease if the corporate tax rate increases.  Each
shareholder is advised annually by the fund of the amounts reportable for
Federal income tax purposes.
 If net long-term capital gains were to be distributed by the fund, the
Federal tax code would treat them that way for shareholders, whether
shareholders take them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares of the
fund, and regardless of how long they have been shareholders.  The
determining factor is how long the fund has held the portfolio securities
that produced the gains.  Long-term gains are taxed at preferential rates
for taxpayers in tax bracket above 28%.
 Shareholders may also receive distributions from short-term capital gains,
which will be taxed as ordinary income.  Distributions from short-term
capital gains normally are declared in December and paid in January.  
 The fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes, so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders.  In order to qualify as a regulated investment company and
avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes, the fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net realized
capital gains (excluding long-term capital gains) and to pay tax on
retained long-term capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a
fiscal year basis.  The fund also intends to comply with other tax rules
applicable to regulated investment companies, including a requirement that
capital gains from selling securities held less than three months
constitute less than 30% of the fund's gross income for each fiscal year. 
Gains from some futures contracts and options are included in this 30%
calculation, which may limit the fund's investments in such instruments.
 The fund's distribution are taxable when they are paid, whether you take
them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares, except that
distributions declared in December and paid in January are taxable as if
paid on December 31.
 Redemptions.  Shareholders have the right to redeem all or any portion of
their shares, and will ordinarily receive portfolio securities of the fund
in satisfaction of the redemption price.  Generally speaking, a redemption
is a taxable transaction.  An individual shareholder will be taxed on the
excess of the cash plus the fair market value of the portfolio securities
received over his basis in the fund shares surrendered.  If the cash plus
the fair market value of the portfolio securities received on redemption do
not exceed the basis of the fund shares redeemed, the shareholder should
realize a capital loss.  The basis in the hands of the shareholder of the
portfolio securities received on redemption of the fund shares is the fair
market value of such securities at the time of redemption.
 Tax Returns and Tax Information.  Following the close of each fiscal year
the fund will supply each shareholder with information regarding the fund's
activities for the year sufficient to allow him to complete his Federal
income tax returns for such year.  The fund's fiscal year ends on December
31.  The fund is required by Federal law to withhold 31% of reportable
payments (which includes dividends, capital gain distributions, and
redemptions) paid to certain accounts whose owners have not complied with
IRS regulations.
ITEM 7. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES BEING OFFERED.
  (a) Inapplicable (shares of the fund are not currently sold to the
public).
  (b) Shares of the fund are not currently offered for sale to the public. 
The term "net asset value," or NAV (for purposes of redemptions and
dividend reinvestments only) refers to the worth of one share.  FSC
normally calculates the fund's NAV as of the close of business on the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE), (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time).  The NAV is
computed by adding the value of all assets of the fund, cash, and other
assets, deducting liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number
of shares outstanding.  Securities owned by the fund are appraised by
various methods depending on the market or exchange on which they trade. 
Securities traded on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock
Exchange are appraised at the last sale price, or if no sale has occurred,
at the closing bid price.  Securities traded on other exchanges are
appraised as nearly as possible in the same manner.  Securities and other
assets for which exchange quotations are not readily available are valued
on the basis of closing over-the-counter bid prices, if available, 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 are valued either at amortized cost or at original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
  (c)-(e) Inapplicable.
ITEM 8. REDEMPTION OF SHARES.
 A shareholder may at any time require the fund to redeem all or any
portion of his shares at their net asset value next determined after
receipt of a written request for redemption in good order.  Distribution of
the proceeds of a redemption will be made within seven days after that
date.
 A request for redemption or repurchase shall be deemed in good order if it
is accompanied by a stock power signed by the holder(s) of record exactly
as the shares are registered, with signature(s) guaranteed by a bank,
broker, dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities
exchange, or saving association.  The request shall specify the number of
shares to be redeemed and identify the investor's account number.  Further
documentation may be required if the request is made by a shareholder who
is not an individual or by someone other than the holder of record.
 The fund reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption or to
postpone the date of payment upon redemption for any period during which
(a) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC or such Exchange is closed for
other than a customary weekend or holiday closing; (b) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension; or (c) an emergency as determined by the SEC
exists making disposal of portfolio securities or the valuation of the net
assets of the fund not reasonably practicable.
 The net asset value of the shares on redemption or repurchase may be more
or less than the price paid by a redeeming shareholder for the shares
depending upon the market value of the fund's portfolio securities at the
time of repurchase or redemption.
 In order to limit the realization of capital gains from the sale of
portfolio securities to meet redemptions and repurchases of shares, the
fund intends to follow a policy of redeeming or repurchasing its shares by
the distribution of one or more portfolio securities in kind to the extent
it is practicable to do so.  For this purpose portfolio securities
distributed in kind shall be valued at their fair value as determined for
purposes of computing the redemption or repurchase price.  To the extent it
is not practicable to redeem shares by a redemption in kind, the fund will
redeem or repurchase its shares for cash.  The securities which the fund
will utilize in honoring redemptions or repurchases in kind will tend to be
those which the fund believes are least likely to contribute to the
realization of its investment objective and will tend to be the lowest tax
cost lots of the security chosen.
 The fund will not realize any capital gains for Federal income tax
purposes upon the distribution of portfolio securities in kind.
 Shareholders who wish to sell securities distributed to them will have to
make their own arrangements for sale and will incur the brokerage or other
costs involved.  Neither the fund nor FSC will arrange for the sale on
behalf of a shareholder of portfolio securities distributed in kind.  The
fund will, however, arrange for the delivery of the securities to a broker
or dealer designated in advance by the redeeming shareholder.

ITEM 13. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES.
  (a) Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions.  The fund intends to
file a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the
futures markets, before engaging in any purchases or sales of futures
contracts or options on futures contracts.  The fund intends to comply with
Section 4.5 of the regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act, which
limits the extent to which the fund can commit assets to initial margin
deposits and option premiums.
 In addition, the fund will not:  (i) sell futures contracts, purchase put
options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's
total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal
conditions; (ii) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a
result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of
purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its
total assets; or (iii) purchase call options if, as a result, the current
value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would
exceed 5% of the fund's total assets.  These limitations do not apply to
options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying
securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options.
 The fund currently intends to treat the value of any over-the-counter
option it purchases as illiquid for the purposes of its investment
limitations.  Similarly, for any over-the-counter option it writes, the
fund will treat as illiquid the value of the option's underlying
instrument; however, if the fund has a guaranteed right to close out the
option with a primary U.S. government securities dealer, only the maximum
price of the closing transaction minus the amount the option is
"in-the-money" will be considered illiquid.
 The above limitations on the fund's investments in futures contracts and
options, and the fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options
discussed elsewhere, are not fundamental policies and may be changed as
regulatory agencies permit.
 Futures Contracts.  When the fund purchases a futures contract, it agrees
to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. 
When the fund sells a futures contract, it agrees to sell the underlying
instrument at a specified future date.  The price at which the purchase and
sale will take place is fixed when the fund enters into the contract.  Some
currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities,
such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of
securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
Price Index (S&P 500).  Futures can be held until their delivery dates,
or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.
 The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem
with the value of its underlying instrument.  Therefore, purchasing futures
contracts will tend to increase the fund's exposure to positive and
negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had
purchased the underlying instrument directly.  When the fund sells a
futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend
to move in a direction contrary to the market.  Selling futures contracts,
therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price
changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.
 Futures Margin Payments.  The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is
not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the
contract is held until the delivery date.  However, both the purchaser and
seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker,
known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered
into.  Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the
contract's value.  If the value of either party's position declines, that
party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to
settle the change in value on a daily basis.  The party that has a gain may
be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount.  Initial and
variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin
for purposes of the fund's investment limitations.  In the event of the
bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of the fund, the fund may
be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount
received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to
the fund.
 Purchasing Put and Call Options.  By purchasing a put option, the fund
obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying
instrument at a fixed strike price.  In return for this right, the fund
pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). 
Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific
securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts.  The fund
may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it
to expire or by exercising the option.  If the option is allowed to expire,
the fund will lose the entire premium it paid.  If the fund exercises the
option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike
price.  The fund may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market
exists.
 The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security
prices fall substantially.  However, if the underlying instrument's price
does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put
buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium
paid, plus related transaction costs).
 The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to
purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's
strike price.  A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential
price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost
of the option if security prices fall.  At the same time, the buyer can
expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to
offset the cost of the option.
 Writing Put and Call Options.  When the fund writes a put option, it takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser.  In
return for receipt of the premium, the fund assumes the obligation to pay
the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party
to the option chooses to exercise it.  When writing an option on a futures
contract the fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as
described above for futures contracts.  The fund may seek to terminate its
position in a put option it writes before exercise by closing out the
option in the secondary market at its current price.  If the secondary
market is not liquid for a put option the fund has written, however, the
fund must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside
assets to cover its position.
 If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit,
although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it
received.  If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that
the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the
option at a lower price.  If security prices fall, the put writer would
expect to suffer a loss.  This loss should be less than the loss from
purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium
received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.
 Writing a call option obligates the fund to sell or deliver the option's
underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the
option.  The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those
of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable
strategy if prices remain the same or fall.  Through receipt of the option
premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline.  At the
same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying
instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is
greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security
price increases.
 Combined Positions.  The fund may purchase and write options in
combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward
contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall
position.  For example, the fund may purchase a put option and write a call
option on the same underlying instrument, in order to construct a combined
position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a
futures contract.  Another possible combined position would involve writing
a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower
price, in order to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event
of a substantial price increase.  Because combined options positions
involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be
more difficult to open and close out.
 Correlation of Price Changes.  Because there are a limited number of types
of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the
standardized contracts available will not match the fund's current or
anticipated investments exactly.  The fund may invest in options and
futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities,
or other characteristics from the securities in which it typically invests,
which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track
the performance of the fund's other investments.
 Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match the fund's
investments well.  Options and futures prices are affected by such factors
as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility
of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of
the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way.  Imperfect
correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options
and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences
in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of
daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts.  The fund may purchase or
sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to
compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the
securities, although this may not be successful in all cases.  If price
changes in the fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated
with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated
gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other
investments.
 Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts.  There is no assurance a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures
contract at any particular time.  Options may have relatively low trading
volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying
instrument's current price.  In addition, exchanges may establish daily
price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt
trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit
in a given day.  On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit
is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible for the fund
to enter into new positions or close out existing positions.  If the
secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation
limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable
positions, and potentially could require the fund to continue to hold a
position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. 
As a result, the fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or
futures positions could also be impaired.
 OTC Options.  Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with
respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and
strike price, the terms of over-the-counter options (options not traded on
exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other
party to the option contract.  While this type of arrangement allows the
fund greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options
generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which
are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are
traded.
 Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies.  Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that
they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are
standardized as to contract size and delivery date.  Most currency futures
contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars.  The underlying
instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally
is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures
contract.  The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase
the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the
right to sell the underlying currency.
 The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options
and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above.  The
fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write
currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign
currencies.  The fund may also purchase and write currency options in
conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. 
Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with
exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of
the fund's investments.  A currency hedge, for example, should protect a
Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect
the fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the
issuer's creditworthiness.  Because the value of the fund's
foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other
than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency
options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over
time.
 Asset Coverage for Futures and Options Positions.  The fund will comply
with guidelines established by the SEC with respect to coverage of options
and futures strategies by mutual funds, and if the guidelines so require
will set aside cash and appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial
account in the amount prescribed.  Securities held in a segregated account
cannot be sold while the futures or option strategy is outstanding, unless
they are replaced with other suitable assets.  As a result, there is a
possibility that segregation of a large percentage of the fund's assets
could impede portfolio management or the fund's ability to meet redemption
requests or other current obligations.
  (b)-(c) Information in Item 4 is complete.
  (d) It is the policy of the fund to limit portfolio turnover to
transactions necessary to carry out investment policy.  The fund does not
invest for short-term profits or trading purposes, but keeps portfolio
turnover at the level required by prudent long-term investment practices. 
One of the factors which is considered before any portfolio security is
sold is resulting tax liability.  However, the Adviser will make changes in
the fund's investments consistent with its investment objective and
policies when such changes are believed by the Adviser to be advantageous
to shareholders, even though capital gains may be realized.  The Adviser
approaches these investment decisions essentially with the long-term point
of view of the careful investor, although securities may occasionally be
sold for investment reasons even though they have been held for short
periods.
 The portfolio turnover rates for the years ended December 31, 1993 and
1992 were 0% and 0%, respectively.  The portfolio turnover rate is
calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio
securities for the year by the monthly average current value of the
portfolio securities (excluding U.S. government securities and all other
securities whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or
less).

  (c) As of January 31, 1994, FMR and its affiliates owned approximately
2.2% of the total outstanding shares of the fund. Mr. Edward C. Johnson 3d,
President and Trusteee of the trust, by virtue of his controlling interest
in FMR Corp., may be considered a beneficial owner of these shares. Also as
of this date, the other Trustees and officers of the fund owned, in the
aggregate, less than 1% of the fund's total outstanding shares.
ITEM 16. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES.
  (a) (i) FMR is a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR Corp., a parent company
organized in 1972.  At present, the principal operating activities of FMR
Corp. are those conducted by three of its divisions as follows:  FSC, which
is the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for certain of the funds
advised by FMR; Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company,
which performs shareholder servicing functions for certain institutional
customers; and Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing Company, which
provides marketing services to various companies within the Fidelity
organization.  Through ownership of voting common stock, Edward C. Johnson
3d, President and a Trustee of the fund, and various trusts for the benefit
of Johnson family members form a controlling group with respect to FMR
Corp.
 Several affiliates of FMR are also engaged in the investment advisory
business.  Fidelity Management Trust Company provides trustee, investment
advisory, and administrative services to retirement plans and corporate
employee benefit accounts.  FMR U.K. Inc. and FMR Far East Inc., both
wholly owned subsidiaries of FMR formed in 1986, supply investment

space from an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which, when entered into,
was consistent with prevailing market rates.
 From time to time FMR, its officers and directors, and its affiliated
companies have transactions with various banks, including custodian banks
for certain of the funds advised by FMR.  Transactions to date have
included mortgages and general business loans.  In the judgment of the
fund's Trustees, the terms and conditions of these transactions were not
influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

may, however, invest in obligations of the custodian and may purchase
securities from or sell securities to the custodian.
   Auditor.  Coopers & Lybrand, One Post Office Square, Boston,
Massachusetts, serves as the fund's independent accountant.  The auditor
examines financial statements for the fund and provides other audit, tax,
and related services.

ITEM 17. BROKERAGE ALLOCATION.
 All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on
behalf of the fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management
contract.  FMR is also responsible for the placement of transaction orders
for other investment companies and accounts for which it or its affiliates
act as investment adviser.  In selecting broker-dealers, subject to
applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, FMR will consider
various relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the size and type
of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the
security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement
capability, and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the
broker-dealer's execution services rendered on a continuing basis; and the
reasonableness of any commissions.
 The fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research or execution services to the fund or other accounts over
which FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion.  Such services
may include advice concerning the value of securities; the advisability of
investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities; furnishing analyses
and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of accounts; and effecting
securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such
as clearance and settlement).  The selection of such broker-dealers is
generally made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) in accordance with a ranking of broker-dealers determined
periodically by FMR's investment staff based upon the quality of such
research and execution services provided.
 The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the fund or its other clients, and conversely, such research
provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction orders on behalf
of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying out its obligations
to the fund.  The receipt of such research has not reduced FMR's normal
independent research activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid
additional expenses that could be incurred if FMR tried to develop
comparable information through its own efforts.
 Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive commissions for agency transactions that are in
excess of the amount of commissions charged by other broker-dealers in
recognition of their research and execution services.  In order to cause
the fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR must determine in good faith
that such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such executing broker-dealers,
viewed in terms of a particular transaction or FMR's overall
responsibilities to the fund and its other clients.  In reaching this
determination, FMR will not attempt to place a specific dollar value on the
brokerage and research services provided or to determine what portion of
the compensation should be related to those services.
 FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the fund or shares of other Fidelity funds
to the extent permitted by law.  FMR may use research services provided by
and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc.
(FBSI), and Fidelity Brokerage Services, Ltd. (FBSL), subsidiaries of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services.  FMR will allocate brokerage transactions to the fund's
custodian, so long as transaction quality is comparable to that of other
qualified broker-dealers  The custodian may credit a portion of the
commissions paid toward payment of the fund's custodian charges.
 Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members of
national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions for
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, except in accordance with
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such
regulations, the Board of Trustees has approved a written agreement which
permits FBSI to effect fund portfolio transactions on national securities
exchanges and to retain compensation in connection with such transactions.
 The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities
in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the
fund and review the commissions paid by the fund over representative
periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the
benefits to the fund.
 For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, the fund
paid brokerage commissions of $0, $0, and $1,200,  respectively.  During
fiscal 1993, 0% of these commissions was paid to a brokerage firm that
provided research services, although the providing of such services was not
necessarily a factor in the placement of all of this business with the
firm.  The fund pays both commissions and spreads in connection with the
placement of portfolio transactions; FBSI is paid on a commission basis. 
During fiscal 1993, the fund paid no brokerage commissions to FBSI.
 From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar
fees paid by the fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and
advisable. The fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the
tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture
arrangements are in effect.  The Trustees intend to continue to review
whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible
and, if so, to determine, in the exercise of their business judgment,
whether it would be advisable for the fund to seek such recapture.
 Although the Trustees and officers of the fund are substantially the same
as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for the fund
are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR or accounts
managed by FMR affiliates.  It sometimes happens that the same security is
held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or accounts.
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds are managed by
the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is
suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund.
 When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale
of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance
with a formula considered by the officers of the funds involved to be
equitable to each fund.  In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is
concerned.  In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate
in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the
fund.  It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of
retaining FMR as investment adviser to the fund outweighs any disadvantages
that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Once the new year begins, many people start reviewing their finances and
calculating their tax bills. No one wants to pay more taxes than they have
to. But a recent survey of 500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and
Yankelovich Partners, showed that few people have taken steps to reduce
their taxes under the new legislation. Many were not even aware that the
new tax laws were retroactive to January 1993. 
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill will increase as a result of
these changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you
earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions - 
before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a disciplined
savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings tax-deferred, and
immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a year and
contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual contribution
is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if you're in
the 
28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in federal taxes. In addition, you pay no
taxes on any earnings until withdrawal. 
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year. 
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal. 
Third, consider adding to your tax-free investments, either municipal bonds
or municipal bond funds. Often these can provide higher after-tax yields
than comparable taxable investments. For example, if you're in the new 36%
federal income tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a taxable investment
yielding 7%, you'll pay $252 in federal taxes and receive $448 in income.
That same $10,000 invested in a tax-free bond fund yielding 5.5% would
allow you to keep $550 in income. 
These are three investment strategies that could help lower your tax bill
in 1994. If you're interested in learning more, please call us at
1-800-544-8888 or visit a Fidelity Investor Center. 
Wishing you a prosperous new year,
Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman
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
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993     PAST 1   PAST 5   PAST 10   
                                    YEAR     YEARS    YEARS     
 
Congress Street                     8.05%    96.14%   312.88%   
 
S&P 500(Registered trademark)   10.08%   97.26%   302.35%   
 
Average Growth & Income Fund    11.55%   86.67%   239.72%   
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, 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 326 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.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993     PAST 1   PAST 5   PAST 10

Average Growth & Income Fund    11.55%   13.13%   12.88%    
 
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return
and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS:  Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Congress
Street Fund on December 31, 1983. As the chart shows, by December 31, 1993,
the value of your investment would have grown to $41,288 - a 312.88%
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 $40,235 - a 302.35% 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
 
 
 
MARKET RECAP 
Low inflation, falling interest rates 
and a gradually improving 
economy boosted U.S. stocks 
during the 12 months ended 
December 31, 1993. The 
Standard & Poor's 500 stock 
index rose 10.08%, in line with 
the market's long-term average 
annual return. Some tobacco, 
drug and brand-name consumer 
products stocks began to pick up 
by year end, but had weak 
returns for the year, overall. 
Those losses were offset by 
impressive gains in other sectors, 
including technology, although 
semiconductors gave back part 
of their gains in the fall. Other 
market leaders were finance, 
notably securities brokers; 
economically-sensitive sectors 
like autos and steel; 
entertainment; heavy machinery; 
and precious metals. 
Communications stocks soared 
as traditional telephone utilities, 
cellular companies, and 
entertainment firms scrambled to 
form strategic alliances. The 
NASDAQ Composite Index - 
which tracks over-the-counter 
stocks - rose 14.75% for the 
year, but was outpaced by 
the Dow Jones Industrial Average 
- - an index of 30 blue-chip stocks 
- - which rose 17.04%. In 
mid-November, the Dow closed 
above 3700 for the first time and 
finished the year at 3754. Most 
international markets easily 
outpaced U.S. returns. The 
Morgan Stanley EAFE (Europe, 
Australia, Far East) index rose 
32.56%, while the Morgan 
Stanley Emerging Markets Index 
was up 73.21% for the year. 
A Message from Sandy Cushman,  Portfolio Manager of Fidelity 
Congress Street Fund 
Dear Congress Street Fund Shareholder:
For the year ended December 31, the fund had a total return of 8.05%. That
trailed the Standard & Poor's 500 index, which returned 10.08% during
the same period. The fund also lagged the average growth & income fund
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, which gained 11.55%. These results
came despite a pick-up in the fund's performance over the last six months.
Many of the fund's bigger, blue-chip names spent most of the year in the
doldrums. A big chunk of the growth stocks the fund acquired in the 1960s
fall into the category of consumer non-durables. This sector made up 21.2%
of the fund's investments at the end of the year. These companies lost
pricing power in 1993 for two reasons. Inflation remained very low, which
made it difficult for companies to raise the prices of their products. And
more importantly, consumers shunned familiar brand-name products for
cheaper generic or off-brand items. Stocks like Philip Morris, which
dropped 27.9% in 1993, H.J. Heinz (down 18.7%), and Johnson & Johnson
(down 16.2%) felt the effects.
Lately, we've seen some consumer non-durables rebound a bit. Many companies
cut costs through the year, and should be poised for better earnings now
that the economy is showing signs of strength. By late in the year,
investors had beaten down the prices of some of these stocks to a point at
which bargain hunters began to move in.
Uncertainty over President Clinton's reform plan hurt health-care stocks,
the fund's second biggest sector investment at 15.2% on December 31. Fear
that drug companies would lose the power to raise their prices flattened
the stocks of companies like Upjohn, Merck and Eli Lilly early in the year.
But I think overreaction fueled much of the drug stock sell-off. The
industry is changing and companies are preparing themselves to do business
under a new set of rules. I see a brighter outlook for some of these stocks
in '94.
Technology stocks - 12.8% of the fund's investments - and the fund's one
financial stock, Bankers Trust New York - 4.3% of the fund - turned in
strong performances before investors went in for some profit taking late in
the year. Falling interest rates and low inflation helped the balance
sheets of banks, and their stocks responded. Bankers Trust New York was up
nearly 16% in 1993. On the technology side, the fund's largest investment,
semiconductor manufacturer Motorola, enjoyed a fine year. Motorola's stock
rose nearly 81% in '93. Japanese firms stopped gaining market share and
demand for semiconductors rose due to increasing sales of cellular phones
and personal computers. Investors also speculated about Motorola's
burgeoning role in the building of the so-called information superhighway,
which will join the technologies of telephones, televisions and computers
to bring us interactive services in our homes.
As for the next six months, I, like most people, feel stock valuations are
high. But I'm optimistic for a couple of reasons. Many of the stocks in
this fund have been hit hard over the last couple years and I think most of
the selling has already taken place. Also, if there's a market correction,
I believe the stocks of smaller companies will fall faster than those of
larger companies. The big firms in this fund may lend it more stability
should the market drop. Finally, I like the outlook for some of the
consumer non-durables. Price cuts on brand-name goods have shrunk the gap
between those and the generics, and consumer confidence is picking up. I
think people may be ready to go back to the better known brand-names. Many
of these companies have long, successful histories and have rebounded from
down times before.
Sincerely,
 
 
 
 
Sandy Cushman

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended December 31, 1993
 
 
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. Dividend and
interest income is recorded net of foreign taxes where recovery of such
taxes is not assured.
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.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective January
1, 1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of December 31,
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES - CONTINUED
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
1992 have been reclassified to reflect an increase in paid in capital of
$59,009,952, a decrease  in undistributed net investment income of $918,916
and a decrease in accumulated net realized gain on investments of
$58,091,036.
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.
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
$2,917,659, 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 $27,774. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annual rate of .46% of average net assets after the
fee reduction.
TRANSFER AGENT FEE. 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 FEE. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
 
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Fidelity Congress Street Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity  Congress Street Fund, including the schedule of portfolio
investments, as of December 31, 1993, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial
highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of December 31, 1993 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Congress Street Fund as of December 31, 1993, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
