PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although there have been positive market indications so far in 1995, no one
can predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for 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. For
example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a return of 5% over the
past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare
the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite
Index of 500 Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure
how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it
to the average growth and income fund, which reflects the performance of
432 growth & income funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services over the past six months. 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, 1985. As the chart shows, by June 30, 1995, the
value of your investment would have grown to $42,832 - a 328.32% 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 $39,340 - a 293.40% 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 Jonathan F. Weed, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Congress Street Fund
Dear Congress Street Fund Shareholder:
The past six months have been rewarding for investors in the U.S. stock
markets, and for the fund's shareholders in particular. For the six months
ended June 30, 1995, the fund had a total return of 19.81%. That slightly
trailed the 20.21% total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index
during the same period. The fund outperformed the average growth and income
fund tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, which returned 16.75% during
the six-month period. For the 12 months ended June 30, the fund rose
33.41%, the S&P 500 was up 26.07%, and the average growth and income fund
gained 19.74%.
Many factors have fueled the market's rise to record high levels since the
beginning of 1995. Perhaps the most important has been superior corporate
earnings. Traditionally, stock prices tend to follow earnings over time,
and scores of U.S. companies have consistently beaten analysts' earnings
estimates in recent months. Of course, the growth in the economy through
the end of 1994 helped. In addition, effective cost-cutting measures
undertaken by many companies in recent years have made their way to the
bottom line in 1995.
This year's improving interest rate environment also has boosted stocks. By
the end of 1994, many investors were beginning to believe that the Federal
Reserve Board was nearing the end of its short-term interest rate hikes. In
fact, the Fed raised rates only once in early 1995. As winter moved into
spring, long-term interest rates progressively fell and the economy began
to show signs of deterioration. Because controlling future inflation had
been the primary goal of the Fed rate hikes, investors responded positively
to the economic slowdown. And, as it turned out, the Fed reacted to the
economic weakness by lowering short-term rates a few days after this
reporting period ended.
Interestingly, only about 12% of all stock mutual funds tracked by Lipper
have topped the performance of the S&P 500 during the first six months of
1995. The fact that the fund's returns have run nearly neck-and-neck with
the S&P 500's during that time is no coincidence. Both the fund and the
index feature some of the best-known, large-cap stocks in the market. And
these are the stocks that have led this recent market rally. Near the end
of 1994 and into 1995, investors began to gravitate toward large U.S.
companies that had traditionally offered steady earnings growth in the face
of higher interest rates. In addition, the weak U.S. dollar enhanced the
earnings generated by these companies' significant overseas operations when
converted back into U.S. dollars. That served to further boost overall
profitability.
Examples of solid performance by these large-cap stocks cross a number of
market sectors. Among consumer nondurables, Coca-Cola (up 23% during the
six-month period) and Colgate-Palmolive (up 15%) made significant
contributions to the fund's performance. In addition, the fund had about an
18% weighting in health care stocks on June 30. In this sector, Johnson &
Johnson (up 24%) and American Home Products (up 23%) were top-performing
stocks.
No doubt, the most explosive earnings growth of the past six months
belonged to the technology sector, which comprises several different
industries. Technology stocks made up 15% of the fund at the end of the
period. Corporations around the world have continued their relentless
commitment to technology, and the greater efficiency it provides in the
workplace. That has maintained strong demand for personal computers and
related products. In fact, Hewlett-Packard - which manufactures computers,
calculators, printers and more - had the largest positive influence on the
fund's total return over both the trailing six-month and one-year periods.
Its stock price rose nearly 49% during the six-month period. To a lesser
but still significant degree, IBM (up 30%) and Motorola (up 16%) also
boosted returns.
As far as disappointments are concerned, they are relative in a period such
as we've seen. A couple of examples included Chevron and WMX Technologies.
Chevron's earnings weren't as strong as those of several other large U.S.
oil companies due to disappointing profit margins on its refining
operations. As for WMX, though fourth quarter 1994 earnings were relatively
strong, they fell a bit short of analysts' expectations, which caused the
company's stock price to fall in February. But again, it's all relative;
both of these stocks did have net gains during the six-month period.
Will the stock market continue its upward trend through the end of the
year? As always, that's impossible to predict. Any time the market rises
this quickly it beckons caution. Stock valuations - prices relative to
other measures such as earnings - are higher than they were six months ago.
And there do appear to be some risks in this market. It's still uncertain
whether this recent economic slowdown is a harbinger of recession, or
merely a pause on the way to steady, albeit slower, growth. The key for
stocks will be the effect of this slower economy on corporate earnings. I'm
concerned that many companies may not be able to keep up the strong pace of
profit growth they've established thus far in 1995. It's shaping up to be
an interesting next six months.
Sincerely,
Jonathan F. Weed

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended June 30, 1995 (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 of their purchase date 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 substantially 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for
redemptions in kind.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Undistributed net investment income (loss) and
accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may
include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or short-term gain remaining at
fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), may transfer
uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that mature in
60 days or less from the date of purchase, and are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
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. FMR, the fund's
investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of these
underlying securities remains at least equal to the resale price.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $620,381,
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 $16,403. For the period, the management fee
rate was equivalent to an annualized rate of .45% 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.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a revised
transfer agent contract pursuant to which FSC receives account fees and
asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account.
Under the prior transfer agent contract, FSC received 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 fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
