Curtis Hollingsworth is Vice President and manager of Short-Intermediate
Government Fund and Government Securities Fund, which he has managed since
September 1991 and February 1997, respectively. He also manages several
other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity in 1983, Mr. Hollingsworth has
worked as a fixed-income trader and portfolio manager.
The following information supplements information found in the "Securities
and Investment Practices" section beginning on page 13.
CASH MANAGEMENT. Fidelity Short-Intermediate Government Fund may invest in
money market securities, in repurchase agreements, and in a money market
fund available only to funds and accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates,
whose goal is to seek a high level of current income while maintaining a
stable $1.00 share price. A major change in interest rates or a default on
the money market fund's investments could cause its share price to change.
RESTRICTION. Fidelity Government Securities Fund will not invest in a money
market fund.

The following information replaces similar information found in
"Transaction Details" on page 29.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00
from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an annual
maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will
be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened
after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to offset in part the
relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will not be
deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except
non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment
plans, or if total assets in Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the
$30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity accounts maintained by
FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or
which list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $2,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send the
proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the day your
account is closed.
