KEY FACTS
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
Each fund offers institutional and corporate investors a convenient and
economical way to invest in a professionally managed portfolio of money
market instruments.
Each fund is designed for investors who would like to earn current income
while preserving the value of their investment.
The rate of income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting
short-term interest rates.
Each fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00. Each of
Treasury Only, Treasury, and Government offers an added measure of safety
with its focus on U.S. Treasury or Government securities.
These funds do not constitute a balanced investment plan. However, because
they emphasize stability, they could be well-suited for a portion of
your investments.
Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund
have a common investment objective and investment portfolio. Class I shares
do not have a sales charge and do not pay a distribution fee. Class II
shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a 0.15% distribution fee.
Class III shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a 0.25%
distribution fee. Because Class I shares have no sales charge and do not
pay a distribution fee, Class I shares are expected to have a higher total
return than Class II and Class III shares. You may obtain more information
about Class II and Class III shares, which are not offered through this
prospectus, from your investment professional, or by calling Fidelity
Client Services at 1-800-843-3001. Contact your investment professional to
discuss which class is appropriate for you.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy or
sell Class I shares of a fund.
Maximum sales charge on purchases and None
reinvested distributions
Maximum deferred sales charge None
Redemption fee None
Exchange fee None
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each fund
pays a management fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). In
addition, each fund is responsible for certain other expenses.
Class I's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and are
not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown of
Expenses" on page__).
The following figures are based on historical expenses, adjusted to reflect
current fees, of Class I of each fund and are calculated as a percentage of
average net assets of Class I of each fund. A portion of the brokerage
commissions that the funds pay is used to reduce fund expenses. In
addition, on behalf of Rated Money Market, FMR has entered into
arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent whereby interest
earned on uninvested cash balances is used to reduce fund expenses. Each of
Treasury Only, Treasury, Government, Domestic, Money Market, and Tax-Exempt
has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby
interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to reduce custodian and
transfer agent expenses. Including this reduction, the total class
operating expenses presented in the table would have been __.

extent that total operating expenses exceed __% (__% for Money Market), of
its average net assets. If these agreements were not in effect, the
management fee, other expenses, and total operating expenses, as a
percent age of average net assets, of Class I of each fund would have
been, __%, __%, and__% for Treasury Only; __%, __%, and __% for Treasury;
__%, __%, and __% for Government; __%, __%, and __% for Domestic; __%, __%,
and __% for Rated Money Market; __%, __%, and __% for Money Market; and
__%, __%, and __% for Tax-Exempt. Expenses eligible for reimbursement do
not include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights tables that follow for Treasury, Government,
Domestic and Money Market have been audited by Price Waterhouse LLP,
independent accountants. The financial highlights tables that follow for
Treasury Only, Rated Money Market and Tax-Exempt have been audited by
Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent accountants. The funds' financial
highlights, financial statements, and reports of the auditors are included
in the funds' Annual Report, and are incorporated by reference into (are
legally a part of) the funds' SAI. Contact Fidelity Client Services (Client
Services) for a free copy of the Annual Report or the SAI.
[Financial Highlights tables will be inserted here]
PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or YIELD.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a yield
assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an EFFECTIVE YIELD.
A TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD shows what an investor would have to earn before
taxes to equal a tax-free yield.
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates the income earned by an investment in a money
market fund over a recent seven-day period. Since money market funds
maintain a stable $1.00 share price, current seven-day yields are the most
common illustration of money market fund performance.
The funds' performance and holdings are detailed twice a year in financial
reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For current performance call
Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money
and invests it toward a specified goal. Treasury Only, Treasury,
Government, Domestic, and Money Market are diversified funds of Fidelity
Institutional Ca sh Portfolios, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Delaware business trust on May 30, 1993. Rated Money
Market is a diversified fund of Fidelity Money Market Trust, an open-end
management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on
December 29, 1994. Tax-Exempt is a diversified fund of Fidelity
Institutional Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolios, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Delaware business trust on January 29, 1992. There
is a remote possibility that one fund might become liable for a
misstatement in the prospectus about another fund.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the funds' activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
funds, and review the funds' performance. The majority of trustees are not
otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These
meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental
policies, approve a management contract, or for other purposes.
Shareholders not attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.
The transfer agent will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting
card and information about the proposals to be voted on. You are entitled
to one vote for each share you own of each of Treasury Only, Treasury,
Government, Domestic, Money Market, and Tax-Exempt. For shareholders of
Rated Money Market, the number of votes you are entitled to is based upon
the dollar value of your investment.
Separate votes are taken by each class of shares, fund, or trust, if a
matter affects just that class of shares, fund, or trust, respectively.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business address
at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It includes a number
of different subsidiaries and divisions which provide a variety of
financial services and products. The funds employ various Fidelity
companies to perform activities required for their operation.
The funds are managed by FMR, which handles their business affairs. FMR
Texas Inc. (FMR Texas), located in Irving, Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services.
As of _____, FMR advised funds having approximately __m/billion
shareholder accounts with a total value of more than $__m/billion.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that est ablishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc . (FIIOC) performs transfer agent servicing functions for
Class I shares of each fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and, FMR Texas. Members of
the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a class of
shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power
of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act),
control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of
individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company;
therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed under the 1940 Act to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is Tax-Exempt's transfer agent, although it employs
FIIOC to perform these functions for Class I of the fund. UMB is located at
1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri.
To carry out the funds' transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that a fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
EACH FUND'S INVESTMENT APPROACH
When you sell your shares of the funds, they should be worth the same
amount as when you bought them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the
funds will maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The funds follow
industry-stan dard guidelines on the quality, maturity, and
diversification of their investments, which are designed to help
maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The funds will purchase only
high-quality securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks and
will observe maturity restrictions on securities they buy. In general,
securities with longer maturities are more vulnerable to price changes,
although they may provide higher yields. It is possible that a major change
in interest rates or a default on the funds' investments could cause their
share prices (and the value of your investment) to change.
The funds earn income at current money market rates. Each fund stresses
preservation of capital, liquidity, and income (tax-free income in the case
of Tax-Exempt) and does not seek the higher yields or capital appreciation
that more aggressive investments may provide. Each fund's yield will vary
from day to day, and generally reflects current short-term interest rates
and other market conditions. It is important to note that neither the funds
nor their yields are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
TREASURY ONLY seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with
the security of principal and liquidity, and to maintain a constant net
asset value per share (NAV) of $1.00.
The fund invests only in U.S. Treasury securities. The fund does not enter
into repurchase agreements or reverse repurchase agreements.
The fund will invest in those securities whose interest is specifically
exempt from state and local income taxes under federal law; such interest
is not exempt from federal income tax.
TREASURY seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements
for these securities. The fund does not enter into reverse repurchase
agreements.
GOVERNMENT seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in U.S. Government securities and repurchase
agreements for these securities. The fund also may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements.
DOMESTIC seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is consistent
with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the limitations
prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in the highest-quality U.S. dollar-denominated money
market securities of domestic issuers, including U.S. Government securities
and repurchase agreements. Securities are "highest-quality" if rated in the
highest rating category by at least two nationally recognized rating
services, or by one if only one rating service has rated a security, or, if
unrated, determined to be of equivalent quality by FMR. The fund also may
enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
RATED MONEY MARKET seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities
of domestic and foreign issuers rated in the highest rating category by at
least two nationally recognized rating services, U.S. Government
securities, and repurchase agreements. The fund also may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements.
MONEY MARKET seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in the highest-quality U.S. dollar-denominated money
market securities of domestic and foreign issuers, including U.S.
Government securities and repurchase agreements. Securities are
"highest-quality" if rated in the highest rating category by at least two
nationally recognized rating services, or by one if only one rating service
has rated a security, or, if unrated, determined to be of equivalent
quality by FMR. The fund also may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
TAX-EXEMPT seeks to obtain as high a level of interest income exempt from
federal income tax as is consistent with a portfolio of high-quality,
short-term municipal obligations selected on the basis of liquidity and
stability of principal.
The fund invests primarily in high-quality, short-term municipal
securities, but also may invest in high-quality, long-term instruments
whose features give them interest rates, maturities, and prices similar to
short-term instruments. Securities in which the fund invests must be rated
in the highest rating category for short-term securities by at least one
nationally recognized rating service and rated in one of the two highest
categories for short-term securities by another nationally recognized
rating service if rated by more than one nationally recognized rating
service, or, if unrated, determined to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
The fund, under normal conditions, will invest so that at least 80% of its
income distributions is exempt from federal income tax. The fund does not
currently intend to purchase municipal securities whose interest is subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment
strategy and does not expect to invest in federally taxable obligations.
The fund also reserves the right to hold a substantial amount of uninvested
cash or to invest more than normally permitted in federally taxable
obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks.
Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in this section.
A complete listing of each fund's limitations and more detailed information
about each fund's investments are contained in the funds' SAI. Policies and
limitations are considered at the time of purchase; the sale of instruments
is not required in the event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that they are consistent with a fund's investment
objective and policies and that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.
Fund holdings are detailed in each fund's financial reports, which are sent
to shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI or financial report, call
Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term instruments issued by
the U.S. Government, corporations, financial institutions, municipalities,
local and state governments, and other entities. These securities may
carry fixed, variable, or floating interest rates. Some money market
securities employ a trust or similar structure to modify the maturity,
price characteristics, or quality of financial assets so that they are
eligible investments for money market funds. If the structure does not
perform as intended, adverse tax or investment consequences may result.
U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued by the U.S. Treasury and include bills, notes, and bonds. U.S.
Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt instruments
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or
instrumentality of the U.S. Government. Not all U.S. Government securities
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example,
U.S. Government securities such as those issued by the Federal National
Mortgage Association are supported by the instrumentality's right to borrow
money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances. Other U.S.
Government securities, such as those issued by the Federal Farm Credit
Banks Funding Corporation, are supported only by the credit of the entity
that issued them.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public or
private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They
may be issued in anticipation of future revenues, and may be backed by the
full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project,
or the credit of a private organization. The value of some or all municipal
securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related
to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities
or the rights of municipal securities holders. A fund may own a municipal
security directly or through a participation interest.
CREDIT AND LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various forms of
credit and liquidity enhancement, including letters of credit, guarantees,
puts and demand features, and insurance, provided by foreign or domestic
entities such as banks and other financial institutions. These arrangements
expose a fund to the credit risk of the entity providing the credit or
liquidity support. Changes in the credit quality of the provider could
affect the value of the security and a fund's share price.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Securities issued by foreign entities, including
foreign governments, corporations, and banks, and securities issued by U.S.
entities with substantial foreign operations may involve additional risks
and considerations. Likewise, securities for which foreign entities provide
credit or liquidity support may involve different risks than those
supported by domestic entities. Extensive public information about the
foreign entity may not be available, and unfavorable political, economic,
or governmental developments in the foreign country involved could affect
the repayment of principal or payment of interest.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of mortgages, loans,
receivables, or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the
securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark
rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed to help
stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of a
debt security. The risks associated with stripped securities are similar to
those of other money market securities, although stripped securities may be
more volatile. U.S. Treasury securities that have been stripped by a
Federal Reserve Bank are obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security at
one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party
in return for cash. This could increase the risk of fluctuation in the
fund's yield or in the market value of its assets.
OTHER MONEY MARKET SECURITIES may include commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, and time deposits.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are used by municipalities to acquire land,
equipment, or facilities. If the municipality stops making payments or
transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose
value or become taxable.
OTHER MUNICIPAL SECURITIES may include obligations of U.S. territories and
possessions such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their
political subdivisions and public corporations.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a secu rity to the
issuer or another party. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a
lower interest rate. The credit quality of the investment may be
affected by the creditworthiness of the put provider. Demand features,
standby commitments, and tender options are types of put features.
PRIVATE ENTITIES may be involved in some municipal securities. For example,
industrial revenue bonds are backed by private entities, and resource
recovery bonds often involve private corporations. The viability of a
project or tax incentives could affect the value and credit quality of
these securities.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of some illiquid securities, and some other securities, may be
subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may result
in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS.: A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more
than 10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period.
FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services industry
are subject to various risks related to that industry, such as government
regulation, changes in interest rates, and exposure on loans, including
loans to foreign borrowers. If a fund invests substantially in this
industry, its performance may be affected by conditions affecting the
industry.
RESTRICTIONS: Each of Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market will
invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services
industry.
CASH MANAGEMENT. A 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 (exempt from federal income tax in the case of a
municipal money market fund) while maintainin g 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.
RESTRICTIONS: Tax-Exempt will not invest in a money market fund. Tax-Exempt
does not currently intend to invest in repurchase agreements. Treasury
Only, Treasury, Government, Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market
do not currently intend to invest in a money market fund.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry or type of
project. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all securities
of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: Each of Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market may
not invest more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer, except that
each fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the highest quality
securities of a single issuer for up to three business days. These
limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securities.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, Tax-Exempt may not purchase a
security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets would be
invested in the securities of a single issuer.
These limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securities.

additional copies of financial reports, prospectuses, or historical account
information.
SUB-ACCOUNTING AND SPECIAL SERVICES. Special processing has been arranged
with FIIOC for institutions that wish to open multiple accounts (a master
account and sub-accounts). You may be required to enter into a separate
agreement with FIIOC. Charges for these services, if any, will be
determined based on the level of services to be rendered.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly.
Income dividends declared are accrued daily throughout the month and are
normally distributed on the first business day of the following month.
Based on prior approval of each fund, dividends relating to Class I shares
redeemed during the month can be distributed on the day of redemption. Each
fund reserves the right to limit this service.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you want
to receive your distributions. Class I offers two options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions, if
any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same
class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you
will be assigned this option.
2. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a wire for your dividend and capital gain
distributions, if any.
Dividends will be reinvested at each fund's Class I NAV on the last day of
the month. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the
NAV as of the record date of the distribution.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how an investment in the funds
could affect you. Below are some of the funds' tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Interest income that Tax-Exempt earns is
distributed to shareholders as income dividends. Interest that is
federally tax-free remains tax-free when it is distributed.
Distributions from the Taxable Funds, however, are subject to federal
income tax and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live
outside the United States, your distributions from these funds could also
be taxed by the country in which you reside.
For federal tax purposes, income and short-term capital gain distributions
from each Taxable Fund are taxed as dividends; long-term capital gain
distributions, if any, are taxed as long-term capital gains.
However, for shar eholders of Tax-Exempt, gain on the sale of
tax-free bonds results in taxable distributions. Short-term capital gains
and a portion of the gain on bonds pur chased at a discount are taxed
as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are taxed as
long-term capital gains.
Mutual fund dividends from U.S. Government securities are generally free
from state and local income taxes. However, particular states may limit
this benefit, and some types of securities, such as repurchase agreements
and some agency-backed securities, may not qualify for the benefit. In
addition, some states may impose intangible property taxes. You should
consult your own tax adviser for details and up-to-date information on the
tax laws in your state.
For the fiscal year ended ____, __% of Treasury Only's; ___% of
Treasury's; __% of Government's; __% of Domestic's; __% of Rated Money
Market's; and __% of Money Market's income distributions were derived from
interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state
income tax.
Distributions are taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash
or reinvest them. However, distributions declared in December and paid in
January are taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
Every January, the transfer agent will send you and the IRS a statement
showing the taxable distributions paid to you in the previous year.
A portion of Tax-Exempt's dividends may be free from state or local taxes.
Income from investments in your state are often tax-free to you. Each year,
the transfer agent will send you a breakdown of Tax-Exempt's income from
each state to help you calculate your taxes.
During the fiscal year ended _____, __% of Tax-Exempt's income dividends
was free from federal income tax.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to avoid
federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements, a fund may
have to limit its investment activity in some types of instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
EACH FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS and its NAV is normally calculated each day
that both the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (Kansas City Fed) (for
Tax-Exempt) or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (New York Fed) (for the
Taxable Funds) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are open. The
following holiday closings have been scheduled for 1997: New Year's Day,
Martin Luther King's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving
Day, and Christmas Day. Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to
be observed in the future, the Kansas City Fed or the New York Fed or the
NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any time. On any day that the
Kansas City Fed or the New York Fed or the NYSE closes early, the principal
government securities markets close early (such as on days in advance of
holidays generally observed by participants in such markets), or as
permitted by the SEC, the right is reserved to advance the time on that day
by which purchase and redemption orders must be received.
To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days
when the Kansas City Fed or the New York Fed or the NYSE is closed, each
class's NAV may be affected on days when investors do not have access to
the fund to purchase or redeem shares. Certain Fidelity funds may follow
different holiday closing schedules.
A CLASS'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of Class I of each
fund is computed by adding Class I's pro rata share of the value of the
fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting Class I's pro rata
share of the value of the fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities
allocated to Class I, and dividing the result by the number of Class I
shares of that fund that are outstanding. Each fund values its portfolio
securities on the basis of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect
of changes in a security's market value and helps each fund maintain a
stable $1.00 share price.
EACH FUND'S OFFERING PRICE ( price to buy one share) is its NAV. Each
fund's REDEMPTION PRICE (pr ice to sell one share) is its NAV.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fidelity and the transfer
agent may only be liable for losses resulting from unauthorized
transactions if they do not follow reasonable procedures designed to verify
the identity of the caller. Fidelity and the transfer agent will request
personalized security codes or other information, and may also record
calls. You should verify the accuracy of the confirmation statements
immediately after receipt. If you do not want the ability to redeem and
exchange by telephone, call the transfer agent for instructions. Additional
documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain
fiduciaries.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page __ . Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion,
they would disrupt management of a fund.
TO ALLOW FMR TO MANAGE THE FUNDS MOST EFFECTIVELY , you are urged
to initiate all trades as early in the day as possible and to notify
Fidelity Client Services in advance of transactions in excess of $10
million ($5 million for Treasury Only).
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be purchased at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted. Note
the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made by federal funds
wire; checks will not be accepted for purchases.
(small solid bullet) If your wire is not received by the close of the
Federal Reserve Wire System, you could be liable for any losses or fees a
fund or the transfer agent has incurred or for interest and penalties.
The income declared for Treasury, Government, Domestic and Rated Money
Market is based on estimates of net interest income for the fund. Actual
income may differ from estimates, and differences, if any, will be included
in the calculation of subsequent dividends.
Shareholders of record as of the closing time indicated in the table on
page __ will be entitled to dividends declared that day.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted. Note the
following:
(small solid bullet) Shares of each fund do not receive the dividend
declared on the day of redemption.
(small solid bullet) A fund may withhold redemption proceeds until it is
reasonably assured that investments credited to your account have been
received and collected.
When the NYSE, the Kansas City Fed (for Tax-Exempt), or the New York Fed
(for Taxable Funds) is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any
reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, or under any
emergency circumstances as determined by the SEC to merit such action, a
fund may suspend redemption or postpone payment dates. In cases of
suspension of the right of redemption, the request for redemption may
either be withdrawn or payment may be made based on the NAV next determined
after the termination of the suspension.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $1,000,000 due to redemption, the
account may be closed and the proceeds may be wired to your bank account of
record. You will be given 30 days' notice that your account will be closed
unless it is increased to the minimum.
THE TRANSFER AGENT MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder you have the privilege of exchanging Class I shares of any
fund offered through this prospectus at no charge for Class I shares of any
other fund offered through this prospectus.
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of
one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.
BY TELEPHONE. Exchanges may be requested on any day a fund is open for
business by calling Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001 between 8:30
a.m. and the closing time indicated in the table on page __.
BY MAIL. You may exchange shares on any business day by submitting written
instructions with an authorized signature which is on file for that
account. Written requests for exchanges should contain the fund name, class
name, account number, the number of shares to be redeemed, and the name of
the fund to be purchased. Written requests for exchange should be mailed to
Fidelity Client Services at the address on page __.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO EXCHANGE SHARES, Class I shares will be redeemed
at the next determined NAV after your order is received and
accepted . Shares of the fund to be acquired will be purchased at its
next determined NAV after redemption proceeds are made available. You
should note that, under certain circumstances, a fund may take up to seven
days to make redemption proceeds available for the exchange purchase of
shares of another fund. In addition, please note the following:
(small solid bullet) Exchanges will not be permitted until a completed and
signed account application is on file.
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be available
for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if a fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant portions
of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincides
with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to a fund.
Although the funds will attempt to give you prior notice whenever they are
reasonably able to do so, they may impose these restrictions at any time.
The funds reserve the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege
in the future.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to
give any information or to make any representations, other than those
contained in this Prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the
offer contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been

Each fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00. Each of
Treasury Only, Treasury, and Government offers an added measure of safety
with its focus on U.S. Treasury or Government securities.
These funds do not constitute a balanced investment plan. However, because
they emphasize stability, they could be well-suited for a portion of
your investments.
Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund
have a common investment objective and investment portfolio. Class I shares
do not have a sales charge and do not pay a distribution fee. Class II
shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a 0.15% distribution fee.
Class III shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a 0.25%
distribution fee. Because Class I shares have no sales charge and do not
pay a distribution fee, Class I shares are expected to have a higher total
return than Class II and Class III shares. You may obtain more information
about Class I and Class III shares, which are not offered through this
prospectus, from your investment professional, or by calling Fidelity
Client Services at 1-800-843-3001. Contact your investment professional to
discuss which class is appropriate for you.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy or
sell Class II shares of a fund.
Maximum sales charge on purchases and None
reinvested distributions
Maximum deferred sales charge None
Redemption fee None
Exchange fee None
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each fund
pays a management fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). In
addition, each fund is responsible for certain other expenses.
12b-1 fees are paid by Class II of each fund to the distributor for
services and expenses in connection with the distribution of Class II
shares of each fund.
Class II's expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and are
not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown of
Expenses" on page__).
The following figures are based on historical expenses, adjusted to
reflect current fees, of Class II of each fund and are calculated as a
percentage of average net assets of Class II of each fund. A portion of the
brokerage commissions that the funds pay is used to reduce fund expenses.
In addition, on behalf of Rated Money Market, FMR has entered into
arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent whereby interest
earned on uninvested cash balances is used to reduce fund expenses. Each of
Treasury Only, Treasury, Government, Domestic, Money Market, and Tax-Exempt
has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby
interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to reduce custodian and
transfer agent expenses. Including this reduction, the total class
operating expenses presented in the table would have been __.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights tables that follow for Treasury, Government,
Domestic and Money Market have been audited by Price Waterhouse LLP,
independent accountants. The financial highlights tables that follow for
Treasury Only, Rated Money Market and Tax-Exempt have been audited by
Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent accountants. The funds' financial
highlights, financial statements, and reports of the auditors are included
in the funds' Annual Report, and are incorporated by reference into (are
legally a part of) the funds' SAI. Contact Fidelity Client Services (Client

PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or YIELD.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a yield
assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an EFFECTIVE YIELD.
A TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD shows what an investor would have to earn before
taxes to equal a tax-free yield.
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates the income earned by an investment in a money
market fund over a recent seven-day period. Since money market funds
maintain a stable $1.00 share price, current seven-day yields are the most
common illustration of money market fund performance.
The funds' performance and holdings are detailed twice a year in financial
reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For current performance call
Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money
and invests it toward a specified goal. Treasury Only, Treasury,
Government, Domestic, and Money Market are diversified funds of Fidelity
Institutional Cash Portfolios, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Delaware business trust on May 30, 1993. Rated
Money Market is a diversified fund of Fidelity Money Market Trust, an
open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business
trust on December 29, 1994. Tax-Exempt is a diversified fund of Fidelity
Institutional Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolios, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Delaware business trust on January 29, 1992. There
is a remote possibility that one fund might become liable for a
misstatement in the prospectus about another fund.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the funds' activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
funds, and review the funds' performance. The majority of trustees are not
otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These
meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental
policies, approve a management contract, or for other purposes.
Shareholders not attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.
The transfer agent will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting
card and information about the proposals to be voted on. You are entitled
to one vote for each share you own of each of Treasury Only, Treasury,
Government, Domestic, Money Market, and Tax-Exempt. For shareholders of
Rated Money Market, the number of votes you are entitled to is based upon
the dollar value of your investment.
Separate votes are taken by each class of shares, fund, or trust, if a
matter affects just that class of shares, fund, or trust, respectively.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business address
at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It includes a number
of different subsidiaries and divisions which provide a variety of
financial services and products. The funds employ various Fidelity
companies to perform activities required for their operation.
The funds are managed by FMR, which handles their business affairs. FMR
Texas Inc. (FMR Texas), located in Irving, Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services.
As of _____, FMR advised funds having approximately __m/billion
shareholder accounts with a total value of more than $__m/billion.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that est ablishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc. (FIIOC) performs transfer agent servicing functions for
Class II shares of each fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and , FMR Texas. Members of
the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a class of
shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power
of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act),
control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of
individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company;
therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed under the 1940 Act to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is Tax-Exempt's transfer agent, although it employs
FIIOC to perform these functions for Class II of the fund. UMB is located
at 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri.
To carry out the funds' transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that a fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
EACH FUND'S INVESTMENT APPROACH
When you sell your shares of the funds, they should be worth the same
amount as when you bought them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the
funds will maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The funds follow
industry-stan dard guidelines on the quality, maturity, and
diversification of their investments, which are designed to help
maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The funds will purchase only
high-quality securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks and
will observe maturity restrictions on securities they buy. In general,
securities with longer maturities are more vulnerable to price changes,
although they may provide higher yields. It is possible that a major change
in interest rates or a default on the funds' investments could cause their
share prices (and the value of your investment) to change.
The funds earn income at current money market rates. Each fund stresses
preservation of capital, liquidity, and income (tax-free income in the case
of Tax-Exempt) and does not seek the higher yields or capital appreciation
that more aggressive investments may provide. Each fund's yield will vary
from day to day, and generally reflects current short-term interest rates
and other market conditions. It is important to note that neither the funds
nor their yields are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
TREASURY ONLY seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with
the security of principal and liquidity, and to maintain a constant net
asset value per share (NAV) of $1.00.
The fund invests only in U.S. Treasury securities. The fund does not enter
into repurchase agreements or reverse repurchase agreements.
The fund will invest in those securities whose interest is specifically
exempt from state and local income taxes under federal law; such interest
is not exempt from federal income tax.
TREASURY seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements
for these securities. The fund does not enter into reverse repurchase
agreements.
GOVERNMENT seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in U.S. Government securities and repurchase
agreements for these securities. The fund also may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements.
DOMESTIC seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is consistent
with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the limitations
prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in the highest-quality U.S. dollar-denominated money
market securities of domestic issuers, including U.S. Government securities
and repurchase agreements. Securities are "highest-quality" if rated in the
highest rating category by at least two nationally recognized rating
services, or by one if only one rating service has rated a security, or, if
unrated, determined to be of equivalent quality by FMR. The fund also may
enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
RATED MONEY MARKET seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities
of domestic and foreign issuers rated in the highest rating category by at
least two nationally recognized rating services, U.S. Government
securities, and repurchase agreements. The fund also may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements.
MONEY MARKET seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in the highest-quality U.S. dollar-denominated money
market securities of domestic and foreign issuers, including U.S.
Government securities and repurchase agreements. Securities are
"highest-quality" if rated in the highest rating category by at least two
nationally recognized rating services, or by one if only one rating service
has rated a security, or, if unrated, determined to be of equivalent
quality by FMR. The fund also may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
TAX-EXEMPT seeks to obtain as high a level of interest income exempt from
federal income tax as is consistent with a portfolio of high-quality,
short-term municipal obligations selected on the basis of liquidity and
stability of principal.
The fund invests primarily in high-quality, short-term municipal
securities, but also may invest in high-quality, long-term instruments
whose features give them interest rates, maturities, and prices similar to
short-term instruments. Securities in which the fund invests must be rated
in the highest rating category for short-term securities by at least one
nationally recognized rating service and rated in one of the two highest
categories for short-term securities by another nationally recognized
rating service if rated by more than one nationally recognized rating
service, or, if unrated, determined to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
The fund, under normal conditions, will invest so that at least 80% of its
income distributions is exempt from federal income tax. The fund does not
currently intend to purchase municipal securities whose interest is subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment strategy
and does not expect to invest in federally taxable obligations. The fund
also reserves the right to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash or
to invest more than normally permitted in federally taxable obligations for
temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks.
Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in this section.
A complete listing of each fund's limitations and more detailed information
about each fund's investments are contained in the funds' SAI. Policies and
limitations are considered at the time of purchase; the sale of instruments
is not required in the event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that they are consistent with a fund's investment
objective and policies and that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.
Fund holdings are detailed in each fund's financial reports, which are sent
to shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI or financial report, call
Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term instruments issued by
the U.S. Government, corporations, financial institutions, municipalities,
local and state governments, and other entities. These securities may
carry fixed, variable, or floating interest rates. Some money market
securities employ a trust or similar structure to modify the maturity,
price characteristics, or quality of financial assets so that they are
eligible investments for money market funds. If the structure does not
perform as intended, adverse tax or investment consequences may result.
U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued by the U.S. Treasury and include bills, notes, and bonds. U.S.
Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt instruments
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or
instrumentality of the U.S. Government. Not all U.S. Government securities
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example,
U.S. Government securities such as those issued by the Federal National
Mortgage Association are supported by the instrumentality's right to borrow
money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances. Other U.S.
Government securities, such as those issued by the Federal Farm Credit
Banks Funding Corporation, are supported only by the credit of the entity
that issued them.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public or
private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They
may be issued in anticipation of future revenues, and may be backed by the
full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project,
or the credit of a private organization. The value of some or all municipal
securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related
to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities
or the rights of municipal securities holders. A fund may own a municipal
security directly or through a participation interest.
CREDIT AND LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various forms of
credit and liquidity enhancement, including letters of credit, guarantees,
puts and demand features, and insurance, provided by foreign or domestic
entities such as banks and other financial institutions. These arrangements
expose a fund to the credit risk of the entity providing the credit or
liquidity support. Changes in the credit quality of the provider could
affect the value of the security and a fund's share price.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Securities issued by foreign entities, including
foreign governments, corporations, and banks, and securities issued by U.S.
entities with substantial foreign operations may involve additional risks
and considerations. Likewise, securities for which foreign entities provide
credit or liquidity support may involve different risks than those
supported by domestic entities. Extensive public information about the
foreign entity may not be available, and unfavorable political, economic,
or governmental developments in the foreign country involved could affect
the repayment of principal or payment of interest.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of mortgages, loans,
receivables, or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the
securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark
rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed to help
stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of a
debt security. The risks associated with stripped securities are similar to
those of other money market securities, although stripped securities may be
more volatile. U.S. Treasury securities that have been stripped by a
Federal Reserve Bank are obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security at
one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party
in return for cash. This could increase the risk of fluctuation in the
fund's yield or in the market value of its assets.
OTHER MONEY MARKET SECURITIES may include commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, and time deposits.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are used by municipalities to acquire land,
equipment, or facilities. If the municipality stops making payments or
transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose
value or become taxable.
OTHER MUNICIPAL SECURITIES may include obligations of U.S. territories and
possessions such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their
political subdivisions and public corporations.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a secu rity to the
issuer or another party. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a
lower interest rate. The credit quality of the investment may be
affected by the creditworthiness of the put provider. Demand features,
standby commitments, and tender options are types of put features.
PRIVATE ENTITIES may be involved in some municipal securities. For example,
industrial revenue bonds are backed by private entities, and resource
recovery bonds often involve private corporations. The viability of a
project or tax incentives could affect the value and credit quality of
these securities.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of some illiquid securities, and some other securities, may be
subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may result
in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS.:A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more than
10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period.
FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services industry
are subject to various risks related to that industry, such as government
regulation, changes in interest rates, and exposure on loans, including
loans to foreign borrowers. If a fund invests substantially in this
industry, its performance may be affected by conditions affecting the
industry.
RESTRICTIONS: Each of Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market will
invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services
industry.
CASH MANAGEMENT. A 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 (exempt from federal income tax in the case of a
municipal money market fund) 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.
RESTRICTIONS: Tax-Exempt will not invest in a money market fund. Tax-Exempt
does not currently intend to invest in repurchase agreements. Treasury
Only, Treasury, Government, Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market
do not currently intend to invest in a money market fun d.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry or type of
project. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all securities
of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: Each of Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market may
not invest more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer, except that
each fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the highest quality
securities of a single issuer for up to three business days. These
limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securities.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, Tax-Exempt may not purchase a
security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets would be
invested in the securities of a single issuer.
These limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securities.
Tax-Exempt may invest more than 25% of its total assets in tax-free
securities that finance similar types of projects.
BORROWING. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds
advised by FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding.
RESTRICTIONS: Each of Government, Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money
Market may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, or engage in
reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its
total assets. Each of Treasury Only, Treasury, and Tax-Exempt may borrow
only for temporary or emergency purposes, but not in an amount exceeding
331/3% of its total assets.
LENDING. A fund may lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of a fund's
total assets. Treasury Only, Treasury, Government, and Tax-Exempt do not
lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Some of the policies and restrictions discussed on the preceding pages are
fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval. The
following paragraphs restate all those that are fundamental. All policies
stated throughout this prospectus, other than those identified in the
following paragraphs, can be changed without shareholder approval.
Treasury Only seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with
the security of principal and liquidity, and to maintain a constant net

federal income tax as is consistent with a portfolio of high-quality,
short-term municipal obligations selected on the basis of liquidity and
stability of principal. The fund, under normal conditions, will invest so
that at least 80% of its income distributions is exempt from federal income
tax.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, Tax-Exempt may not purchase a
security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets would be

BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the funds pay fees related to their daily
operations. Expenses paid out of each class's assets are reflected in that
class's share price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to
shareholders nor deducted from shareholder accounts.
Each fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to an affiliate who provides
assistance with these services. Each fund also pays OTHER EXPENSES, which
are explained on page __ .
MANAGEMENT FEE
Each fund pays FMR a monthly management fee. Each of Treasury Only,
Treasury, Government, Domestic, Money Market, and Tax-Exempt pays FMR a fee
at an annual rate of 0.20% of its average net assets. Rated Money Market
pays FMR a fee at an annual rate of 0.42% of its average net assets. FMR
pays all of the other expenses of Rated Money Market with limited
exceptions. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 Treasury Only paid FMR
a management fee at an annual rate of 0.42% of its average net assets and
FMR paid all of the other expenses of Treasury Only with limited
exceptions.
FMR Texas is the funds' sub-adviser and has primary responsibility for
managing their investments. FMR is responsible for providing other

Class II of each fund has adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Under
the Plans, Class II of each fund is authorized to pay FDC a monthly
distribution fee as compensation for its services and expenses in
connection with the distribution of Class II shares of each fund. Class II
of each fund currently pays FDC monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of its
average net assets throughout the month.
The Plans specifically recognize that FMR may make payments from its
management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to reimburse FDC
for expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of Class II
shares, including payments made to investment professionals that provide
shareholder support services or engage in the sale of the funds' Class II
shares. The Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments.
Each fund (other than Rated Money Market) also pays other expenses,
such as legal, audit, and custodian fees; in some instances, proxy
solicitation costs; and the compensation of trustees who are not affiliated

INVESTOR SERVICES
Fidelity provides a variety of services to help you manage your account.
INFORMATION SERVICES
STATEMENTS AND REPORTS that the transfer agent sends to you include the
following:
(small solid bullet) Confirmation statements (after every transaction,
except a reinvestment, that affects your account balance or your account
registration)
(small solid bullet) Account statements (monthly)
(small solid bullet) Financial reports (every six months)
To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and
prospectuses will be mailed, even if you have more than one account in a
fund. Call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001 if you need
additional copies of financial reports, prospectuses, or historical account
information.
SUB-ACCOUNTING AND SPECIAL SERVICES. Special processing has been arranged
with FIIOC for institutions that wish to open multiple accounts (a master
account and sub-accounts). You may be required to enter into a separate
agreement with FIIOC. Charges for these services, if any, will be
determined based on the level of services to be rendered.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly.
Income dividends declared are accrued daily throughout the month and are
normally distributed on the first business day of the following month.
Based on prior approval of each fund, dividends relating to Class II shares
redeemed during the month can be distributed on the day of redemption. Each
fund reserves the right to limit this service.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you want
to receive your distributions. Class II offers two options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions, if
any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same
class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you
will be assigned this option.
2. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a wire for your dividend and capital gain
distributions, if any.
Dividends will be reinvested at each fund's Class II NAV on the last day of
the month. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the
NAV as of the record date of the distribution.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how an investment in the funds
could affect you. Below are some of the funds' tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Interest income that Tax-Exempt earns is
distributed to shareholders as income dividends. Interest that is
federally tax-free remains tax-free when it is distributed.
Distributions from the Taxable Funds, however, are subject to federal
income tax and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live
outside the United States, your distributions from these funds could also
be taxed by the country in which you reside.
For federal tax purposes, income and short-term capital gain distributions
from each Taxable Fund are taxed as dividends; long-term capital gain
distributions, if any, are taxed as long-term capital gains.
However, for s hareholders of Tax-Exempt, gain on the sale of
tax-free bonds results in taxable distributions. Short-term capital gains
and a portion of the gain on bonds purchase d at a discou nt are taxed
as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are taxed as
long-term capital gains.
Mutual fund dividends from U.S. Government securities are generally free
from state and local income taxes. However, particular states may limit
this benefit, and some types of securities, such as repurchase agreements
and some agency-backed securities, may not qualify for the benefit. In
addition, some states may impose intangible property taxes. You should
consult your own tax adviser for details and up-to-date information on the
tax laws in your state.
For the fiscal year ended ____, __% of Treasury Only's; ___% of
Treasury's; __% of Government's; __% of Domestic's; __% of Rated Money
Market's; and __% of Money Market's income distributions were derived from
interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state
income tax.
Distributions are taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash
or reinvest them. However, distributions declared in December and paid in
January are taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
Every January, the transfer agent will send you and the IRS a statement
showing the taxable distributions paid to you in the previous year.
A portion of Tax-Exempt's dividends may be free from state or local taxes.
Income from investments in your state are often tax-free to you. Each year,
the transfer agent will send you a breakdown of Tax-Exempt's income from
each state to help you calculate your taxes.
During the fiscal year ended _____, __% of Tax-Exem pt's income
dividends was free from federal income tax.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to avoid
federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements, a fund may
have to limit its investment activity in some types of instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
EACH FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS and its NAV is normally calculated each day
that both the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (Kansas City Fed) (for
Tax-Exempt) or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (New York Fed) (for the
Taxable Funds) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are open. The
following holiday closings have been scheduled for 1997: New Year's Day,
Martin Luther King's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving
Day, and Christmas Day. Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to
be observed in the future, the Kansas City Fed or the New York Fed or the
NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any time. On any day that the
Kansas City Fed or the New York Fed or the NYSE closes early, the principal
government securities markets close early (such as on days in advance of
holidays generally observed by participants in such markets), or as
permitted by the SEC, the right is reserved to advance the time on that day
by which purchase and redemption orders must be received.
To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days
when the Kansas City Fed or the New York Fed or the NYSE is closed, each
class's NAV may be affected on days when investors do not have access to
the fund to purchase or redeem shares. Certain Fidelity funds may follow
different holiday closing schedules.
A CLASS'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of Class II of each
fund is computed by adding Class II's pro rata share of the value of the
fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting Class II's pro rata
share of the value of the fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities
allocated to Class II, and dividing the result by the number of Class II
shares of that fund that are outstanding. Each fund values its portfolio
securities on the basis of amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect
of changes in a security's market value and helps each fund maintain a
stable $1.00 share price.
EACH FUND'S OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) is its NAV. Each
fund's REDEMPTION PRICE (price to sell one share) is its NAV.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fidelity and the transfer
agent may only be liable for losses resulting from unauthorized
transactions if they do not follow reasonable procedures designed to verify
the identity of the caller. Fidelity and the transfer agent will request
personalized security codes or other information, and may also record
calls. You should verify the accuracy of the confirmation statements
immediately after receipt. If you do not want the ability to redeem and
exchange by telephone, call the transfer agent for instructions. Additional
documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain
fiduciaries.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page __. Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they would
disrupt management of a fund.
TO ALLOW FMR TO MANAGE THE FUNDS MOST EFFECTIVELY, you are urged to
initiate all trades as early in the day as possible and to notify Fidelity
Client Services in advance of transactions in excess of $10 million ($5
million for Treasury Only).
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be purchased at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted . Note
the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made by federal funds
wire; checks will not be accepted for purchases.
(small solid bullet) If your wire is not received by the close of the
Federal Reserve Wire System, you could be liable for any losses or fees a
fund or the transfer agent has incurred or for interest and penalties.
The income declared for Treasury, Government, Domestic and Rated Money
Market is based on estimates of net interest income for the fund. Actual
income may differ from estimates, and differences, if any, will be included
in the calculation of subsequent dividends.
Shareholders of record as of the closing time indicated in the table on
page __ will be entitled to dividends declared that day.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted . Note
the following:
(small solid bullet) Shares of each fund do not receive the dividend
declared on the day of redemption.
(small solid bullet) A fund may withhold redemption proceeds until it is
reasonably assured that investments credited to your account have been
received and collected.
When the NYSE, the Kansas City Fed (for Tax-Exempt), or the New York Fed
(for Taxable Funds) is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any
reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, or under any
emergency circumstances as determined by the SEC to merit such action, a
fund may suspend redemption or postpone payment dates. In cases of
suspension of the right of redemption, the request for redemption may
either be withdrawn or payment may be made based on the NAV next determined
after the termination of the suspension.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $1,000,000 due to redemption, the
account may be closed and the proceeds may be wired to your bank account of
record. You will be given 30 days' notice that your account will be closed
unless it is increased to the minimum.
THE TRANSFER AGENT MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder you have the privilege of exchanging Class II shares of
any fund offered through this prospectus at no charge for Class II shares
of any other fund offered through this prospectus.
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of
one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.
BY TELEPHONE. Exchanges may be requested on any day a fund is open for
business by calling Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001 between 8:30
a.m. and the closing time indicated in the table on page __.
BY MAIL. You may exchange shares on any business day by submitting written
instructions with an authorized signature which is on file for that
account. Written requests for exchanges should contain the fund name, class
name, account number, the number of shares to be redeemed, and the name of
the fund to be purchased. Written requests for exchange should be mailed to
Fidelity Client Services at the address on page __.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO EXCHANGE SHARES, Class II shares will be
redeemed at the next determined NAV after your order is received and
accepted. Shares of the fund to be acquired will be purchased at its
next determined NAV after redemption proceeds are made available. You
should note that, under certain circumstances, a fund may take up to seven
days to make redemption proceeds available for the exchange purchase of
shares of another fund. In addition, please note the following:
(small solid bullet) Exchanges will not be permitted until a completed and
signed account application is on file.
(small solid bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be available
for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if a fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant portions
of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincides
with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to a fund.
Although the funds will attempt to give you prior notice whenever they are
reasonably able to do so, they may impose these restrictions at any time.
The funds reserve the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege
in the future.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to
give any information or to make any representations, other than those
contained in this Prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the
offer contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the funds or FDC. This Prospectus and the related SAI do not
constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell or to buy shares of the
funds to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

KEY FACTS
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
Each fund offers institutional and corporate investors a convenient and
economical way to invest in a professionally managed portfolio of money
market instruments.
Each fund is designed for investors who would like to earn current income
while preserving the value of their investment.
The rate of income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting
short-term interest rates.
Each fund is managed to keep its share price stable at $1.00. Each of
Treasury Only, Treasury, and Government offers an added measure of safety
with its focus on U.S. Treasury or Government securities.
These funds do not constitute a balanced investment plan. However, because
they emphasize stability, they could be well-suited for a portion of
your investments.
Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund
have a common investment objective and investment portfolio. Class I shares
do not have a sales charge and do not pay a distribution fee. Class II
shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a 0.15% distribution fee.
Class III shares do not have a sales charge, but do pay a 0.25%
distribution fee. Because Class I shares have no sales charge and do not
pay a distribution fee, Class I shares are expected to have a higher total
return than Class II and Class III shares. You may obtain more information
about Class I and Class II shares, which are not offered through this
prospectus, from your investment professional, or by calling Fidelity
Client Services at 1-800-843-3001. Contact your investment professional to
discuss which class is appropriate for you.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy or
sell Class III shares of a fund.
Maximum sales charge on purchases and None
reinvested distributions
Maximum deferred sales charge None
Redemption fee None
Exchange fee None
ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each fund
pays a management fee to Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). In
addition, each fund is responsible for certain other expenses.
12b-1 fees are paid by Class III of each fund to the distributor for
services and expenses in connection with the distribution of Class III
shares of each fund.
Class III expenses are factored into its share price or dividends and are
not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see "Breakdown of
Expenses" on page__).
The following figures are based on historical expenses, adjusted to
reflect current fees of Class III of each fund and are calculated as a
percentage of average net assets of Class III of each fund. A portion of
the brokerage commissions that the funds pay is used to reduce fund
expenses. In addition, on behalf of Rated Money Market, FMR has entered
into arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent whereby
interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to reduce fund
expenses. Each of Treasury Only, Treasury, Government, Domestic, Money
Market, and Tax-Exempt has entered into arrangements with its custodian and
transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used
to reduce custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including this reduction,
the total class operating expenses presented in the table would have been
__.

extent that total operating expenses exceed __% (__% for Money Market), of
its average net assets. If these agreements were not in effect, the

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights tables that follow for Treasury, Government,
Domestic and Money Market have been audited by Price Waterhouse LLP,
independent accountants. The financial highlights tables that follow for
Treasury Only, Rated Money Market and Tax-Exempt have been audited by
Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., independent accountants. The funds' financial
highlights, financial statements, and reports of the auditors are included
in the funds' Annual Report, and are incorporated by reference into (are
legally a part of) the funds' SAI. Contact Fidelity Client Services (Client
Services) for a free copy of the Annual Report or the SAI.
[Financial Highlights tables will be inserted here]
PERFORMANCE
Money market fund performance can be measured as TOTAL RETURN or YIELD.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results.
YIELD refers to the income generated by an investment in a fund over a
given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. When a yield
assumes that income earned is reinvested, it is called an EFFECTIVE YIELD.
A TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD shows what an investor would have to earn before
taxes to equal a tax-free yield.
SEVEN-DAY YIELD illustrates the income earned by an investment in a money
market fund over a recent seven-day period. Since money market funds
maintain a stable $1.00 share price, current seven-day yields are the most
common illustration of money market fund performance.
The funds' performance and holdings are detailed twice a year in financial
reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For current performance call

THE FUNDS IN DETAIL
CHARTER
EACH FUND IS A MUTUAL FUND: an investment that pools shareholders' money
and invests it toward a specified goal. Treasury Only, Treasury,
Government, Domestic, and Money Market are diversified funds of Fidelity
Institutional Cash Portfolios, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Delaware business trust on May 30, 1993. Rated
Money Market is a diversified fund of Fidelity Money Market Trust, an
open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business
trust on December 29, 1994. Tax-Exempt is a diversified fund of Fidelity
Institutional Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolios, an open-end management investment
company organized as a Delaware business trust on January 29, 1992. There
is a remote possibility that one fund might become liable for a
misstatement in the prospectus about another fund.
EACH FUND IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders. The trustees are experienced
executives who meet throughout the year to oversee the funds' activities,
review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the
funds, and review the funds' performance. The majority of trustees are not
otherwise affiliated with Fidelity.
THE FUNDS MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These
meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental
policies, approve a management contract, or for other purposes.
Shareholders not attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.
The transfer agent will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting
card and information about the proposals to be voted on. You are entitled
to one vote for each share you own of each of Treasury Only, Treasury,
Government, Domestic, Money Market, and Tax-Exempt. For shareholders of
Rated Money Market, the number of votes you are entitled to is based upon
the dollar value of your investment.
Separate votes are taken by each class of shares, fund, or trust, if a
matter affects just that class of shares, fund, or trust, respectively.
FMR AND ITS AFFILIATES
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the United States and has its principal business address
at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It includes a number
of different subsidiaries and divisions which provide a variety of
financial services and products. The funds employ various Fidelity
companies to perform activities required for their operation.
The funds are managed by FMR, which handles their business affairs. FMR
Texas Inc. (FMR Texas), located in Irving, Texas, has primary
responsibility for providing investment management services.
As of _______, FMR advised funds having approximately __m/billion
shareholder accounts with a total value of more than $__m/billion.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that est ablishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes and markets Fidelity's
funds and services. Fidelity Invest ments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc. (FIIOC) performs transfer agent servicing functions for
Class III shares of each fund.
FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent company of FMR and FMR Texas. Members of
the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant owners of a class of
shares of common stock representing approximately 49% of the voting power
of FMR Corp. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act),
control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of
individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company;
therefore, the Johnson family may be deemed under the 1940 Act to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.
UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is Tax-Exempt's transfer agent, although it employs
FIIOC to perform these functions for Class III of the fund. UMB is located
at 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri.
To carry out the funds' transactions, FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares, provided that a fund
receives services and commission rates comparable to those of other
broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
EACH FUND'S INVESTMENT APPROACH
When you sell your shares of the funds, they should be worth the same
amount as when you bought them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the
funds will maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The funds follow
industry-stan dard guidelines on the quality, maturity, and
diversification of their investments, which are designed to help
maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The funds will purchase only
high-quality securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks and
will observe maturity restrictions on securities they buy. In general,
securities with longer maturities are more vulnerable to price changes,
although they may provide higher yields. It is possible that a major change
in interest rates or a default on the funds' investments could cause their
share prices (and the value of your investment) to change.
The funds earn income at current money market rates. Each fund stresses
preservation of capital, liquidity, and income (tax-free income in the case
of Tax-Exempt) and does not seek the higher yields or capital appreciation
that more aggressive investments may provide. Each fund's yield will vary
from day to day, and generally reflects current short-term interest rates
and other market conditions. It is important to note that neither the funds
nor their yields are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
TREASURY ONLY seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with
the security of principal and liquidity, and to maintain a constant net
asset value per share (NAV) of $1.00.
The fund invests only in U.S. Treasury securities. The fund does not enter
into repurchase agreements or reverse repurchase agreements.
The fund will invest in those securities whose interest is specifically
exempt from state and local income taxes under federal law; such interest
is not exempt from federal income tax.
TREASURY seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements
for these securities. The fund does not enter into reverse repurchase
agreements.
GOVERNMENT seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in U.S. Government securities and repurchase
agreements for these securities. The fund also may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements.
DOMESTIC seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is consistent
with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the limitations
prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in the highest-quality U.S. dollar-denominated money
market securities of domestic issuers, including U.S. Government securities
and repurchase agreements. Securities are "highest-quality" if rated in the
highest rating category by at least two nationally recognized rating
services, or by one if only one rating service has rated a security, or, if
unrated, determined to be of equivalent quality by FMR. The fund also may
enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
RATED MONEY MARKET seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities
of domestic and foreign issuers rated in the highest rating category by at
least two nationally recognized rating services, U.S. Government
securities, and repurchase agreements. The fund also may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements.
MONEY MARKET seeks to obtain as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity within the
limitations prescribed for the fund.
The fund invests only in the highest-quality U.S. dollar-denominated money
market securities of domestic and foreign issuers, including U.S.
Government securities and repurchase agreements. Securities are
"highest-quality" if rated in the highest rating category by at least two
nationally recognized rating services, or by one if only one rating service
has rated a security, or, if unrated, determined to be of equivalent
quality by FMR. The fund also may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
TAX-EXEMPT seeks to obtain as high a level of interest income exempt from
federal income tax as is consistent with a portfolio of high-quality,
short-term municipal obligations selected on the basis of liquidity and
stability of principal.
The fund invests primarily in high-quality, short-term municipal
securities, but also may invest in high-quality, long-term instruments
whose features give them interest rates, maturities, and prices similar to
short-term instruments. Securities in which the fund invests must be rated
in the highest rating category for short-term securities by at least one
nationally recognized rating service and rated in one of the two highest
categories for short-term securities by another nationally recognized
rating service if rated by more than one nationally recognized rating
service, or, if unrated, determined to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
The fund, under normal conditions, will invest so that at least 80% of its
income distributions is exempt from federal income tax. The fund does not
currently intend to purchase municipal securities whose interest is subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax.
FMR normally invests the fund's assets according to its investment strategy
and does not expect to invest in federally taxable obligations. The fund
also reserves the right to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash or
to invest more than normally permitted in federally taxable obligations for
temporary, defensive purposes.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks.
Any restrictions listed supplement those discussed earlier in this section.
A complete listing of each fund's limitations and more detailed information
about each fund's investments are contained in the funds' SAI. Policies and
limitations are considered at the time of purchase; the sale of instruments
is not required in the event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that they are consistent with a fund's investment
objective and policies and that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.
Fund holdings are detailed in each fund's financial reports, which are sent
to shareholders twice a year. For a free SAI or financial report, call
Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term instruments issued by
the U.S. Government, corporations, financial institutions, municipalities,
local and state governments, and other entities. These securities may
carry fixed, variable, or floating interest rates. Some money market
securities employ a trust or similar structure to modify the maturity,
price characteristics, or quality of financial assets so that they are
eligible investments for money market funds. If the structure does not
perform as intended, adverse tax or investment consequences may result.
U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt obligations
issued by the U.S. Treasury and include bills, notes, and bonds. U.S.
Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States.
U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are short-term debt instruments
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or
instrumentality of the U.S. Government. Not all U.S. Government securities
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example,
U.S. Government securities such as those issued by the Federal National
Mortgage Association are supported by the instrumentality's right to borrow
money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances. Other U.S.
Government securities, such as those issued by the Federal Farm Credit
Banks Funding Corporation, are supported only by the credit of the entity
that issued them.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are issued to raise money for a variety of public or
private purposes, including general financing for state and local
governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They
may be issued in anticipation of future revenues, and may be backed by the
full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project,
or the credit of a private organization. The value of some or all municipal
securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related
to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities
or the rights of municipal securities holders. A fund may own a municipal
security directly or through a participation interest.
CREDIT AND LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various forms of
credit and liquidity enhancement, including letters of credit, guarantees,
puts and demand features, and insurance, provided by foreign or domestic
entities such as banks and other financial institutions. These arrangements
expose a fund to the credit risk of the entity providing the credit or
liquidity support. Changes in the credit quality of the provider could
affect the value of the security and a fund's share price.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE. Securities issued by foreign entities, including
foreign governments, corporations, and banks, and securities issued by U.S.
entities with substantial foreign operations may involve additional risks
and considerations. Likewise, securities for which foreign entities provide
credit or liquidity support may involve different risks than those
supported by domestic entities. Extensive public information about the
foreign entity may not be available, and unfavorable political, economic,
or governmental developments in the foreign country involved could affect
the repayment of principal or payment of interest.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include interests in pools of mortgages, loans,
receivables, or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be
largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the
securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have interest rates that are
periodically adjusted either at specific intervals or whenever a benchmark
rate changes. These interest rate adjustments are designed to help
stabilize the security's price.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of a
debt security. The risks associated with stripped securities are similar to
those of other money market securities, although stripped securities may be
more volatile. U.S. Treasury securities that have been stripped by a
Federal Reserve Bank are obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security at
one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party
in return for cash. This could increase the risk of fluctuation in the
fund's yield or in the market value of its assets.
OTHER MONEY MARKET SECURITIES may include commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, and time deposits.
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are used by municipalities to acquire land,
equipment, or facilities. If the municipality stops making payments or
transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose
value or become taxable.
OTHER MUNICIPAL SECURITIES may include obligations of U.S. territories and
possessions such as Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, and their
political subdivisions and public corporations.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to put (sell back) a security to the issuer
or another party. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a
lower interest rate. The credit quality of the investment may be affected
by the credi tworthiness of the put provider. Demand features, standby
commitments, and tender options are types of put features.
PRIVATE ENTITIES may be involved in some municipal securities. For example,
industrial revenue bonds are backed by private entities, and resource
recovery bonds often involve private corporations. The viability of a
project or tax incentives could affect the value and credit quality of
these securities.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of some illiquid securities, and some other securities, may be
subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may result
in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more than
10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period.
FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services industry
are subject to various risks related to that industry, such as government
regulation, changes in interest rates, and exposure on loans, including
loans to foreign borrowers. If a fund invests substantially in this
industry, its performance may be affected by conditions affecting the
industry.
RESTRICTIONS: Each of Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market will
invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services
industry.
CASH MANAGEMENT. A 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 (exempt from federal income tax in the case of a
municipal money market fund) 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.
RESTRICTIONS: Tax-Exempt will not invest in a money market fund. Tax-Exempt
does not currently intend to invest in repurchase agreements. Treasury
Only, Treasury, Government, Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market
do not currently intend to invest in a money market fund.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry or type of
project. Economic, business, or political changes can affect all securities
of a similar type.
RESTRICTIONS: Each of Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market may
not invest more than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer, except that
each fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the highest quality
securities of a single issuer for up to three business days. These
limitations do not apply to U.S. Government securitie s.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, Tax-Exempt may not purchase a
security if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets would be
invested in the securities of a single issuer. These limitations do not
apply to U.S. Government securities.
Tax-Exempt may invest more than 25% of its total assets in tax-free
securities that finance similar types of projects.
BORROWING. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds
advised by FMR, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make
additional investments while borrowings are outstanding.
RESTRICTIONS: Each of Government, Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money
Market may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes, or engage in
reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an amount exceeding 331/3% of its
total assets. Each of Treasury Only, Treasury, and Tax-Exempt may borrow
only for temporary or emergency purposes, but not in an amount exceeding
331/3% of its total assets.
LENDING. A fund may lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 331/3% of a fund's
total assets. Treasury Only, Treasury, Government, and Tax-Exempt do not
lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

except a reinvestment, that affects your account balance or your account
registration)
(small solid bullet) Account statements (monthly)
(small solid bullet) Financial reports (every six months)
To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and
prospectuses will be mailed, even if you have more than one account in a
fund. Call Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001 if you need
additional copies of financial reports, prospectuses, or historical account
information.
SUB-ACCOUNTING AND SPECIAL SERVICES. Special processing has been arranged
with FIIOC for institutions that wish to open multiple accounts (a master
account and sub-accounts). You may be required to enter into a separate
agreement with FIIOC. Charges for these services, if any, will be
determined based on the level of services to be rendered.
SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Income dividends are
declared daily and paid monthly.
Income dividends declared are accrued daily throughout the month and are
normally distributed on the first business day of the following month.
Based on prior approval of each fund, dividends relating to Class III
shares redeemed during the month can be distributed on the day of
redemption. Each fund reserves the right to limit this service.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your account application how you want
to receive your distributions. Class III offers two options:
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions, if
any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same
class of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you
will be assigned this option.
2. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a wire for your dividend and capital gain
distributions, if any.
Dividends will be reinvested at each fund's Class III NAV on the last day
of the month. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be reinvested at the
NAV as of the record date of the distribution.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how an investment in the funds
could affect you. Below are some of the funds' tax implications.
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Interest income that Tax-Exempt earns is
distributed to shareholders as income dividends. Interest that is
federally tax-free remains t ax-free when it is distributed.
Distributions from the Taxable Funds, however, are subject to federal
income tax and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live
outside the United States, your distributions from these funds could also
be taxed by the country in which you reside.
For federal tax purposes, income and short-term capital gain distributions
from each Taxable Fund are taxed as dividends; long-term capital gain
distributions, if any, are taxed as long-term capital gains.
However, for shareholders of Tax-Exempt, gain on the sale of
tax-free bonds results in taxable distributions. Short-term capital gains
and a portion of the gain on bonds purchased at a discount are taxed
as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions, if any, are taxed as
long-term capital gains.
Mutual fund dividends from U.S. Government securities are generally free
from state and local income taxes. However, particular states may limit
this benefit, and some types of securities, such as repurchase agreements
and some agency-backed securities, may not qualify for the benefit. In
addition, some states may impose intangible property taxes. You should
consult your own tax adviser for details and up-to-date information on the
tax laws in your state.
For the fiscal year ended ____, __% of Treasury Only's; ___% of
Treasury's; __% of Government's; __% of Domestic's; __% of Rated Money
Market's; and __% of Money Market's income distributions were derived from
interest on U.S. Government securities which is generally exempt from state
income tax.
Distributions are taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash
or reinvest them. However, distributions declared in December and paid in
January are taxable as if they were paid on December 31.
Every January, the transfer agent will send you and the IRS a statement
showing the taxable distributions paid to you in the previous year.
A portion of Tax-Exempt's dividends may be free from state or local taxes.
Income from investments in your state are often tax-free to you. Each year,
the transfer agent will send you a breakdown of Tax-Exempt's income from
each state to help you calculate your taxes.
During the fiscal year ended _____, __% of Tax-Exempt's income
dividends was free from federal income tax.
There are tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to avoid
federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements, a fund may
have to limit its investment activity in some types of instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
EACH FUND IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS and its NAV is normally calculated each day
that both the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (Kansas City Fed) (for
Tax-Exempt) or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (New York Fed) (for the
Taxable Funds) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are open. The
following holiday closings have been scheduled for 1997: New Year's Day,
Martin Luther King's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving
Day, and Christmas Day. Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule to
be observed in the future, the Kansas City Fed or the New York Fed or the
NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any time. On any day that the
Kansas City Fed or the New York Fed or the NYSE closes early, the principal
government securities markets close early (such as on days in advance of
holidays generally observed by participants in such markets), or as
permitted by the SEC, the right is reserved to advance the time on that day
by which purchase and redemption orders must be received.
To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days
when the Kansas City Fed or the New York Fed or the NYSE is closed, each
class's NAV may be affected on days when investors do not have access to
the fund to purchase or redeem shares. Certain Fidelity funds may follow
different holiday closing schedules.
A CLASS'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of Class III of each
fund is computed by adding Class III's pro rata share of the value of the
fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting Class III's pro
rata share of the value of the fund's liabilities, subtracting the
liabilities allocated to Class III, and dividing the result by the number
of Class III shares of that fund that are outstanding. Each fund values its
portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost. This method minimizes
the effect of changes in a security's market value and helps each fund
maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
EACH FUND'S OFFERING PRICE ( price to buy one share) is its NAV. Each
fund's REDEMPTION PRICE (price to sell one share) is its NAV.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Fidelity and the transfer
agent may only be liable for losses resulting from unauthorized
transactions if they do not follow reasonable procedures designed to verify
the identity of the caller. Fidelity and the transfer agent will request
personalized security codes or other information, and may also record
calls. You should verify the accuracy of the confirmation statements
immediately after receipt. If you do not want the ability to redeem and
exchange by telephone, call the transfer agent for instructions. Additional
documentation may be required from corporations, associations, and certain
fiduciaries.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page __ . Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion,
they would disrupt management of a fund.
TO ALLOW FMR TO MANAGE THE FUNDS MOST EFFECTIVELY, you are urged to
initiate all trades as early in the day as possible and to notify Fidelity
Client Services in advance of transactions in excess of $10 million ($5
million for Treasury Only).
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your shares will be purchased at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted. Note
the following:
(small solid bullet) All of your purchases must be made by federal funds
wire; checks will not be accepted for purchases.
(small solid bullet) If your wire is not received by the close of the
Federal Reserve Wire System, you could be liable for any losses or fees a
fund or the transfer agent has incurred or for interest and penalties.
The income declared for Treasury, Government, Domestic and Rated Money
Market is based on estimates of net interest income for the fund. Actual
income may differ from estimates, and differences, if any, will be included
in the calculation of subsequent dividends.
Shareholders of record as of the closing time indicated in the table on
page __ will be entitled to dividends declared that day.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your order is received and accepted. Note
the following:
(small solid bullet) Shares of each fund do not receive the dividend
declared on the day of redemption.
(small solid bullet) A fund may withhold redemption proceeds until it is
reasonably assured that investments credited to your account have been
received and collected.
When the NYSE, the Kansas City Fed (for Tax-Exempt), or the New York Fed
(for Taxable Funds) is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any
reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, or under any
emergency circumstances as determined by the SEC to merit such action, a
fund may suspend redemption or postpone payment dates. In cases of
suspension of the right of redemption, the request for redemption may
either be withdrawn or payment may be made based on the NAV next determined
after the termination of the suspension.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $1,000,000 due to redemption, the
account may be closed and the proceeds may be wired to your bank account of
record. You will be given 30 days' notice that your account will be closed
unless it is increased to the minimum.
THE TRANSFER AGENT MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder you have the privilege of exchanging Class III shares of
any fund offered through this prospectus at no charge for Class III shares
of any other fund offered through this prospectus.
An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of
one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.
BY TELEPHONE. Exchanges may be requested on any day a fund is open for
business by calling Fidelity Client Services at 1-800-843-3001 between 8:30
a.m. and the closing time indicated in the table on page __.
BY MAIL. You may exchange shares on any business day by submitting written
instructions with an authorized signature which is on file for that
account. Written requests for exchanges should contain the fund name, class
name, account number, the number of shares to be redeemed, and the name of
the fund to be purchased. Written requests for exchange should be mailed to
Fidelity Client Services at the address on page __.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO EXCHANGE SHARES, Class III shares will be
redeemed at the next determined NAV after your order is received and
accepted . Shares of the fund to be acquired will be purchased at its
next determined NAV after redemption proceeds are made available. You
should note that, under certain circumstances, a fund may take up to seven
days to make redemption proceeds available for the exchange purchase of
shares of another fund. In addition, please note the following:
(small solid bullet) Exchanges will not be permitted until a completed and
signed account application is on file.
(small solid bullet) T he fund you are exchanging into must be
availabl e for sale in your state.
(small solid bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are
registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(small solid bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
(small solid bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(small solid bullet) Each fund reserves the right to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be
unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment
objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely
affected.
(small solid bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if a fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant portions
of the fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincides
with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to a fund.
Although the funds will attempt to give you prior notice whenever they are
reasonably able to do so, they may impose these restrictions at any time.
The funds reserve the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege
in the future.
No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to
give any information or to make any representations, other than those
contained in this Prospectus and in the related SAI, in connection with the
offer contained in this Prospectus. If given or made, such other
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the funds or FDC. This Prospectus and the related SAI do not
constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell or to buy shares of the
funds to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the
Prospectuses. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or
limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may be
invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding
quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be
determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of
such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values,
net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining
whether the investment complies with a fund's investment policies and
limitations.
A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed
without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act)) of the fund.
However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below,
the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not
fundamental, and may be changed without shareholder approval.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF TREASURY ONLY
THE FOLLOWING ARE TREASURY ONLY'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET
FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(2) borrow money, except that the fund may (i) borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) and (ii) engage in
reverse repurchase agreements for any purpose; provided that (i) and (ii)
in combination do not exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's total assets (including
the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any
borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three
days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply
with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(3) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal
business activities are in the same industry;
(5) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund
from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments; or
(7) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.
(8) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company with substantially the same
fundamental investment objective, policies and limitations as the fund.
THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL, AND MAY BE CHANGED WITHOUT
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL:
(i) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it
owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to
the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures
contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin,
except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary
for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in
connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall
not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iii) 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. The fund will not purchase any security while borrowings
(excluding reverse repurchase agreements) 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.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities
that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements
or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt
securities.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
Subject to revision upon 90 days' notice to shareholders, the fund does not
intend to engage in reverse repurchase agreements.
For the fund's policies on quality and maturity, see the section entitled
"Quality and Maturity" on page __.

guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal
business activities are in the same industry, except that the fund will
invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services
industry;
(6) buy or sell real estate;
(7) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements;
(8) invest in oil, gas, or other mineral exploration or development
programs; or
(9) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or
management.
(10) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy

open-end management investment company with substantially the same
fundamental investment objective, policies and limitations as the fund.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL, AND MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) The fund does not currently intend to purchase a security (other than
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its
agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of its total
assets would be invested in the securities of a single issuer; provided
that the fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the first tier
securities of a single issuer for up to three business days. (This limit
does not apply to investments of up to 10% of total assets in securities of
other open-end investment companies managed by FMR or a successor or
affiliate purchased pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the SEC.)
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it
owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to
the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures
contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin,
except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary
for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in
connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall
not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) 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. The fund will not purchase any security while borrowings
(excluding reverse repurchase agreements) 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.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities
that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by lending money (up to 10% 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.)
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF TAX-EXEMPT
THE FOLLOWING ARE TAX-EXEMPT'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET FORTH
IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities
of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result,
(a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the
securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer;
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) make short sales of securities;
(4) purchase any securities on margin, except for such short-term credits
as are necessary for the clearance of transactions;
(5) 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 its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less
liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed
this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and
holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(6) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(7) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies,
instrumentalities, territories or possessions, or issued or guaranteed by a
state government or political subdivision thereof) if as a result more than
25% of the value of its total assets would be invested in securities of
companies having their principal business activities in the same industry;
(8) purchase or sell real estate, but this shall not prevent the fund from
investing in municipal bonds or other obligations secured by real estate or
interests therein;
(9) purchase or sell physical commodities;
(10) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements; or
(11) invest in oil, gas, or other mineral exploration or development
programs.
(12) The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy
or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company with substantially the same
fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.
For purposes of investment limitations (1) and (7), FMR identifies the
issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying
the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for
payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such
payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political
subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and
whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
THE FOLLOWING LIMITATIONS ARE NOT 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 (5)). 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 purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities
that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements
or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt
securities.
(iv) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the
securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
Securities must be rated in accordance with applicable rules in the highest
rating category for short-term securities by at least one nationally
recognized rating service (NRSRO) and rated in one of the two highest
categories for short-term securities by another NRSRO if rated by more than
one NRSRO, or, if unrated, judged to be equivalent to highest quality by
FMR pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund's
policy regarding limiting investments to the highest rating category may be
changed upon 90 days' prior notice to shareholders.
For the fund's policies on quality and maturity, see the section entitled
"Quality and Maturity" on page __.
Each fund's investments must be consistent with its investment objective
and policies. Accordingly, not all of the security types and investment
techniques discussed below are eligible investments for each of the funds.
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques
unless it believes that doing so will help the fund achieve its goal.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with
financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated
persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may include
repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and
repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by
deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated
financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities;
short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance
with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews
procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial
institutions.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables, or
other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent
upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in
certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other
credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also be
affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the
originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the
credit support.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may buy and sell securities on a
delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions involve a
commitment by a fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after
the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no
interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, each fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations. Because a fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the fund's other investments. If a fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage. When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations. When a fund has sold a security on a delayed-delivery
basis, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with
respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery
transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, the fund could miss
a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer a loss.
Each fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN ISSUERS. Investments may be made in U.S.
dollar-denominated time deposits, certificates of deposit, and bankers'
acceptances of U.S. banks and their branches located outside of the United
States, U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, and foreign branches
of foreign banks. A fund may also invest in U.S. dollar-denominated
securities issued or guaranteed by other U.S. or foreign issuers, including
U.S. and foreign corporations or other business organizations, foreign
governments, foreign government agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and
foreign financial institutions, including savings and loan institutions,
insurance companies, mortgage bankers, and real estate investment trusts,
as well as banks.
The obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be
limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by governmental
regulation. Payment of interest and principal on these obligations may also
be affected by governmental action in the country of domicile of the branch
(generally referred to as sovereign risk). In addition, evidence of
ownership of portfolio securities may be held outside of the United States
and a fund may be subject to the risks associated with the holding of such
property overseas. Various provisions of federal law governing the
establishment and operation of U.S. branches do not apply to foreign
branches of U.S. banks.
Obligations of U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks may be general
obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be
limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by federal and state
regulation, as well as by governmental action in the country in which the
foreign bank has its head office.
Obligations of foreign issuers involve certain additional risks. These
risks may include future unfavorable political and economic developments,
withholding taxes, seizures of foreign deposits, currency controls,
interest limitations, or other governmental restrictions that might affect
payment of principal or interest, or the ability to honor a credit
commitment. Additionally, there may be less public information available
about foreign entities. Foreign issuers may be subject to less governmental
regulation and supervision than U.S. issuers. Foreign issuers also
generally are not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial
reporting requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.
FEDERALLY TAXABLE OBLIGATIONS. Under normal conditions, Tax-Exempt does not
intend to invest in securities whose interest is federally taxable.
However, from time to time on a temporary basis, Tax-Exempt may invest a
portion of its assets in fixed-income obligations whose interest is subject
to federal income tax.
Should Tax-Exempt invest in federally taxable obligations, it would
purchase securities that, in FMR's judgment, are of high quality. These
obligations would include those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
or its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements backed by
such obligations.
Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations are introduced before Congress from time
to time. Proposals also may be introduced before state legislatures that
would affect the state tax treatment of Tax-Exempt's distributions. If such
proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal obligations and the
value of Tax-Exempt's holdings would be affected and the Trustees would
reevaluate Tax-Exempt's investment objectives and policies.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines
the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the
Board monitors investments in illiquid instruments. In determining the
liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors,
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features), and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
Investments currently considered by the funds to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to payment of principal and
interest within seven days. Also, FMR may determine some restricted
securities, municipal lease obligations, and time deposits to be illiquid.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are valued for
purposes of monitoring amortized cost valuation at fair value as determined
in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. If through
a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, a fund were in a
position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid
securities, it would seek to take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
INTERFUND BORROWING AND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an exemptive order
issued by the SEC, each fund has received permission to lend money to, and
borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. Treasury
Only, Treasury, Government, and Tax-Exempt currently intend to participate
in this program only as borrowers. A fund will borrow through the program
only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans.
Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a
maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A
fund will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than
those available from other short-term instruments (such as repurchase
agreements). A 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.
MONEY MARKET SECURITIES are high-quality, short-term obligations. Some
money market securities employ a trust or other similar structure to modify
the maturity, price characteristics, or quality of financial assets. For
example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security, or
interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability.
If the structure does not perform as intended, adverse tax or investment
consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any
other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues
presented by structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory
determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax
treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and
timing of distributions made by the funds.
MUNICIPAL LEASES and participation interests therein may take the form of a
lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract and are
issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire land or a
wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally, the funds will not
hold such obligations directly as a lessor of the property, but will
purchase a participation interest in a municipal obligation from a bank or
other third party. A participation interest gives a fund a specified,
undivided interest in the obligation in proportion to its purchased
interest in the total amount of the obligation.
Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with
general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set
forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt.
These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale
requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts
(which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the
governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to
acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and
statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts
include "non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer
has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract
unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate
legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation
clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations.
MUNICIPAL MARKET DISRUPTION RISK. The value of municipal securities may be
affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or
litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of
municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. Municipal
bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain
untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could
produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities
issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the
municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the
market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of
these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all
of the municipal securities held by a fund, making it more difficult for
the fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share.
MUNICIPAL SECTORS:
ELECTRIC UTILITIES INDUSTRY. The electric utilities industry has been
experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive
pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open transmission
access to any electricity supplier, although it is not presently known to
what extent competition will evolve. Other risks include: (a) the
availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability and cost of capital,
(c) the effects of conservation on energy demand, (d) the effects of
rapidly changing environmental, safety, and licensing requirements, and
other federal, state, and local regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate
increases, and (f) opposition to nuclear power.
HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY. The health care industry is subject to regulatory
action by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal,
state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for the
health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative changes and
reductions in governmental spending for such programs. Numerous other
factors may affect the industry, such as general and local economic
conditions; demand for services; expenses (including malpractice insurance
premiums); and competition among health care providers. In the future, the
following elements may adversely affect health care facility operations:
adoption of legislation proposing a national health insurance program;
other state or local health care reform measures; medical and technological
advances which dramatically alter the need for health services or the way
in which such services are delivered; changes in medical coverage which
alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue stream; and efforts by
employers, insurers, and governmental agencies to reduce the costs of
health insurance and health care services.
HOUSING. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state, county,
city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They generally are
secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased with the proceeds
of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to predict the supply of
available mortgages to be purchased with the proceeds of an issue or the
future cash flow from the underlying mortgages. Consequently, there are
risks that proceeds will exceed supply, resulting in early retirement of
bonds, or that homeowner repayments will create an irregular cash flow.
Many factors may affect the financing of multi-family housing projects,
including acceptable completion of construction, proper management,
occupancy and rent levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws
and regulations.
EDUCATION. In general, there are two types of education-related bonds;
those issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and
universities, and those representing pooled interests in student loans.
Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are subject to
the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of
decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and federal funding.
Among the factors that may lead to declining or insufficient revenues are
restrictions on students' ability to pay tuition, availability of state and
federal funding, and general economic conditions. Student loan revenue
bonds are generally offered by state (or substate) authorities or
commissions and are backed by pools of student loans. Underlying student
loans may be guaranteed by state guarantee agencies and may be subject to
reimbursement by the United States Department of Education through its
guaranteed student loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans
made to parents or students which are supported by reserves or other forms
of credit enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be
applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on
program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student loan
revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the rate of
student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and student
repayment deferral during periods of forbearance. Other risks associated
with student loan revenue bonds include potential changes in federal
legislation regarding student loan revenue bonds, state guarantee agency
reimbursement and continued federal interest and other program subsidies
currently in effect.
WATER AND SEWER. Water and sewer revenue bonds are often considered to have
relatively secure credit as a result of their issuer's importance, monopoly
status, and generally unimpeded ability to raise rates. Despite this, lack
of water supply due to insufficient rain, run-off, or snow pack is a
concern that has led to past defaults. Further, public resistance to rate
increases, costly environmental litigation, and Federal environmental
mandates are challenges faced by issuers of water and sewer bonds.
TRANSPORTATION. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the
construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit
facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of the
airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who uses the
airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader economic trends and
is also affected by the price and availability of fuel. Toll road bonds are
also affected by the cost and availability of fuel as well as toll levels,
the presence of competing roads, and the general economic health of an
area. Fuel costs and availability also affect other transportation-related
securities, as does the presence of alternate forms of transportation, such
as public transportation.
PUT FEATURES entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer or a
third party at any time or at specified intervals. They are subject to the
risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the
security). Put providers often support their ability to buy securities on
demand by obtaining letters of credit or other guarantees from other
entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are
types of put features.
QUALITY AND MATURITY. Pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of
Trustees, the funds may purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks. To be considered high-quality, a
security must be rated in accordance with applicable rules in one of the
two highest categories for short-term securities by at least two nationally
recognized rating services (or by one, if only one rating service has rated
the security); or, if unrated, judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
High-quality securities are divided into "first tier" and "second tier"
securities. First tier securities are those deemed to be in the highest
rating category (e.g., Standard & Poor's A-1 or SP-1), and second tier
securities are those deemed to be in the second highest rating category
(e.g., Standard & Poor's A-2 or SP-2). Split-rated securities may be
determined to be either first or second tier based on applicable
regulations.
Each of Treasury Only, Treasury, Government, Domestic, Rated Money Market,
and Money Market may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in second
tier securities. In addition, each of Treasury Only, Treasury, Government,
Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market may not invest more than 1%
of its total assets or $1 million (whichever is greater) in the second tier
securities of a single issuer.
Each fund currently intends to limit its investments to securities with
remaining maturities of 397 days or less, and to maintain a dollar-weighted
average maturity of 90 days or less. When determining the maturity of a
security, a fund may look to an interest rate reset or demand feature.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to sell that security back to the
original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the
purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to
the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. To protect a fund
from the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the
securities are held in an account of the fund at a bank, marked-to-market
daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the
accrued incremental amount. While it does not presently appear possible to
eliminate all risks from these transactions (particularly the possibility
that the value of the underlying security will be less than the resale
price, as well as delays and costs to a fund in connection with bankruptcy
proceedings), it is a fund's current policy to engage in repurchase
agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been
reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering. Where
registration is required, a fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the
registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time
it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a
security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a
period, adverse market conditions were to develop, a fund might obtain a
less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of
the security. However, in general, each fund anticipates holding restricted
securities to maturity or selling them in an exempt transaction.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a 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. A
fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties whose
creditworthiness has been found 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.
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX." A fund may sell securities short when it
owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind or amount to
the securities sold short. Short sales could be used to protect the net
asset value per share of the fund in anticipation of increased interest
rates, without sacrificing the current yield of the securities sold short.
If a fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to
set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold
short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and
will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is
outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest
expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales
against the box.
SOURCES OF CREDIT OR LIQUIDITY SUPPORT. FMR may rely on its evaluation of
the credit of a bank or another entity in determining whether to purchase a
security supported by a letter of credit guarantee, insurance or other
source of credit or liquidity. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank
or other foreign entities, FMR will consider whether adequate public
information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be
subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency
controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to
honor its commitment.
STRIPPED GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Stripped government securities are created
by separating the income and principal compo nents of a U.S. Government
security and selling them separately. STRIPS ( Separate Trading of
Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) are created when the
coupon payments and the principal payment are stripped from an outstanding
Treasury security by a Federal Reserve Bank.
Privately stripped government securities are created when a dealer deposits
a U.S. Treasury security or other U.S. Government security with a custodian
for safekeeping. The custodian issues separate receipts for the coupon
payments and principal payment, which the dealer then sells. Proprietary
receipts, such as Certificates of Accrual on Treasury Securities (CATS) and
Treasury Investment Growth Receipts (TIGRS), and generic receipts, such as
Treasury Receipts (TRs), are privately stripped U.S. Treasury securities.
Because the SEC does not consider privately stripped government securities
to be U.S. Government securities for purposes of Rule 2a-7, a fund must
evaluate them as it would non-government securities pursuant to regulatory
guidelines applicable to all money market funds.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES provide for periodic adjustments of
the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide
for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating
rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change
in a designated benchmark rate. Some variable or floating rate securities
have put features.
ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make regular interest payments. Instead, they are
sold at a deep discount from their face value and are redeemed at face
value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current
income, their prices can be very volatile when interest rates change. In
calculating its daily dividend, a fund takes into account as income a
portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and
its face value.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on
behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in each
fund' s management contract. FMR has granted investment management
authority to the sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management
Contracts"), and the sub-adviser is authorized to place orders for the
purchase and sale of portfolio securities, and will do so in accordance
with the policies described below. 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. Securities
purchased and sold by a fund generally will be traded on a net basis (i.e.,
without commission). In selecting broker-dealers, subject to applicable
limitations of the federal securities laws, FMR considers 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 funds may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the funds 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; and the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities. In addition, such
broker-dealers may furnish analyses and reports concerning issuers,
industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy,
and performance of accounts; effect securities transactions, and perform
functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). FMR
maintains a listing of broker-dealers who provide such services on a
regular basis. However, as many transactions on behalf of the funds are
placed with broker-dealers (including broker-dealers on the list) without
regard to the furnishing of such services, it is not possible to estimate
the proportion of such transactions directed to such broker-dealers solely
because such services were provided. The selection of such broker-dealers
generally is made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) based upon the quality of research and execution services
provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the funds may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the funds 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 funds. The receipt of such research has not reduced FMR's normal
independent research activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid the
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
each 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 funds 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 funds 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 (FBS), subsidiaries of FMR
Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services. From September 1992 through December 1994, FBS operated
under the name Fidelity Brokerage Services Limited, Inc. (FBSL). As of
January 1995, FBSL was converted to an unlimited liability company and
assumed the name FBS.
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, unless certain requirements
are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board of Trustees has
authorized FBSI to execute portfolio transactions on national securities
exchanges in accordance with approved procedures and applicable SEC rules.
Each fund's Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its
responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions
on behalf of the funds and review the commissions paid by each 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 _____, 1996, and 1995, [the funds paid no
brokerage commissions]. During the fiscal year ended _____ this amounted
to approximately __% of the aggregate brokerage commissions paid by each
fund involving approximately __%, of the aggregate dollar amount of
transactions for which the funds paid brokerage commissions.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions or
similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. Each 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 each fund to seek such
recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the same
as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for each 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 and accounts
are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same
security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or
account.
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 procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable for each fund. In
some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or
value of the security as far as each fund is concerned. In other cases,
however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions
will produce better executions and prices for the funds. It is the current
opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as
investment adviser to each fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be
said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION
Fidelity Service Company, In c. (FSC) normally determines a class's
net asset value per share (NAV) at 12:00 noon Eastern time for Tax-Exempt;
2:00 p.m. Eastern time for Treasury Only; 3:00 p.m. Eastern time for Money
Market; and 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern time for Treasury, Government,
Domestic, and Rated Money Market. The valuation of portfolio securities is
determined as of these times for the purpose of computing each class's NAV.
Portfolio securities and other assets are valued on the basis of amortized
cost. This technique involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost
as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather
than its current market value. The amortized cost value of an instrument
may be higher or lower than the price a fund would receive if it sold the
instrument.
During periods of declining interest rates, a class's yield based on
amortized cost valuation may be higher than that which would result if the
fund used market valuations to determine its NAV. The converse would apply
during periods of rising interest rates.
Valuing each fund's investments on the basis of amortized cost and use of
the term "money market fund" are permitted pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the
1940 Act. Each fund must adhere to certain conditions under Rule 2a-7, as
summarized in the section entitled "Quality and Maturity" on page .
The Board of Trustees oversees FMR's adherence to the provisions of Rule
2a-7 and has established procedures designed to stabilize each class's NAV
at $1.00. At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider
the extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations would deviate
from $1.00 per share. If the Trustees believe that a deviation from a
class's amortized cost per share may result in material dilution or other
unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such
corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce,
to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair results. Such
corrective action could include selling portfolio instruments prior to
maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio
maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind; establishing NAV
by using available market quotations; and such other measures as the
Trustees may deem appropriate.
PERFORMANCE
The funds may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is not
intended to indicate future returns. Each class's yield and total return
fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors.
YIELD CALCULATIONS. To compute a class's yield for a period, the net change
in value of a hypothetical account containing one share reflects the value
of additional shares purchased with dividends from the one original share
and dividends declared on both the original share and any additional
shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the account at the
beginning of the period to obtain a base period return. This base period
return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield. An effective
yield may also be calculated by compounding the base period return over a
one-year period. In addition to the current yield, the funds may quote
yields in advertising based on any historical seven-day period. Yields for
each class are calculated on the same basis as other money market funds, as
required by applicable regulations.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing a class's performance and in
providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives.
However, each class's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed
interest rate over a stated period of time. When comparing investment
alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the
portfolio securities of respective investment companies they have chosen to
consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates a
class's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates,
and in periods of rising interest rates the class's yield will tend to be
somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net
new money to a fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be
invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the
fund's holdings, thereby reducing the class's current yield. In periods of
rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.
A class's tax-equivalent yield is the rate an investor would have to earn
from a fully taxable investment before taxes to equal the class's tax-free
yield. Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by dividing a class's yield by
the result of one minus a stated federal or combined federal and state tax
rate. If only a portion of a class's yield is tax-exempt, only that portion
is adjusted in the calculation.
The following table shows the effect of a shareholder's tax status on
effective yield under federal income tax laws for 1997. It shows the
approximate yield a taxable security must provide at various income
brackets to produce after-tax yields equivalent to those of hypothetical
tax-exempt obligations yielding from 2% to 7%. Of course, no assurance can
be given that a class will achieve any specific tax-exempt yield. While
Tax-Exempt invests principally in obligations whose interest is exempt from
federal income tax, other income received by the fund may be taxable.

on itemized deductions, and other credits, exclusions, and adjustments
which may increase a taxpayer's marginal tax rate. An increase in a
shareholder's marginal tax rate would increase that shareholder's
tax-equivalent yield.
Tax-Exempt may invest a portion of its assets in obligations that are
subject to federal income tax. When the fund invests in these obligations,
its tax-equivalent yield will be lower. In the table above, tax-equivalent
yields are calculated assuming investments are 100% federally tax-free.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of a class's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends
and capital gain distributions, and any change in the class's NAV over a
stated period. Average annual total returns are calculated by determining
the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical investment in a
class over a stated period, and then calculating the annually compounded
percentage rate that would have produced the same result if the rate of
growth or decline in value had been constant over the period. For example,
a cumulative total return of 100% over ten years would produce an average
annual total return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate of return
that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While
average annual total returns are a convenient means of comparing investment
alternatives, investors should realize that a class's performance is not
constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual
total returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual
year-to-year performance of the class.
In addition to average annual total returns, a class may quote unaveraged
or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total
returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of
redemptions, over any time period. Total returns may be broken down into
their components of income and capital (including capital gains and changes
in share price) in order to illustrate the relationship of these factors
and their contributions to total return. Total returns may be quoted on a
before-tax or after-tax basis. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.
HISTORICAL FUND RESULTS. The following table shows 7-day yields,
tax-equivalent yields, and total returns for Class I, Class II, and Class
III of each fund for the period ended ____ . The initial offering of
Class II shares of the funds began on November 1, 1995. The initial
offerings of Class III shares of the funds began on the following dates:
Treasury Only (11/6/95), Treasury (10/22/93), Government (4/4/94), Domestic
(7/19/94), Rated Money Market (11/6/95), Money Market (11/17/93), and
Tax-Exempt (11/6/95). For Class II and III shares of the funds, the figures
for periods prior to the initial offering dates reflect the performance of
Class I, the original class of each fund, which class does not have a 12b-1
fee. Class II and III figures would have been lower had 12b-1 fees been
reflected in all periods. Class II shares have a 0.15% 12b-1 fee, which was
not reflected in the figures for periods prior to that date. Class III
shares of Government have a 0.25% 12b-1 fee, which is reflected in the
figures for periods after its initial offering of Class III shares. Prior
to July 1, 1995, Class III shares of Treasury, Domestic, and Money Market
had a 0.32% 12b-1 fee, which is reflected in figures after the initial
offering dates of Class III shares of these funds. Effective July 1, 1995,
Class III shares of Treasury, Domestic, and Money Market have a 0.25% 12b-1
fee, which is reflected in figures after that date for Class III shares of
these funds. Effective November 1, 1995, Class III shares of Treasury Only,
Rated Money Market, and Tax-Exempt have a 0.25% 12b-1 fee, which is
reflected in figures after that date for these funds.
Tax-Exempt's tax-equivalent yield is based on a 36% federal income tax
rate.

* Figures are based on actual expenses of Class II and Class III
(Tax-Exempt) of the funds from commencement of operations (11/6/95) through
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
The following tables show the income and capital elements of each class's
cumulative total returns. The tables compares each class's returns to the
record of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), the Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA), and the cost of living measured by the Consumer
Price Index, (CPI) over the same period. The CPI information is as of the
month-end closest to the initial investment date for each class. The S&P
500 and DJIA comparisons are provided to show how each class's total return
compared to the record of a broad unmanaged index of common stocks and a
narrower set of stocks of major industrial companies, respectively, over
the same period. Because each fund invests in short-term fixed-income
securities, common stocks represent a different type of investment from the
funds. Common stocks generally offer greater growth potential than the
funds, but generally experience greater price volatility, which means
greater potential for loss. In addition, common stocks generally provide
lower income than a fixed-income investment such as the funds. The S&P 500
and DJIA are based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and, unlike
each class's returns, do not include the effect of brokerage commissions or
other costs of investing.
CLASS II CHARTS. The initial offering of the Class II shares of each
fund began on November 1, 1995. Class II shares have a 0.15% 12b-1 fee,
which is not reflected in the figures prior to that date. The figures for
periods prior to the initial offering date reflect the performance of Class
I, the original class of each fund, which class does not have a 12b-1 fee.
Class II figures would have been lower had 12b-1 fees been reflected in all
periods.
CLASS III CHARTS. The initial offerings of the funds' Class III
shares began on the following dates: Treasury Only (11/1/95), Treasury
(10/22/93), Government (4/4/94), Domestic (7/19/94), Rated Money Market
(11/1/95), Money Market (11/17/93), and Tax-Exempt (11/1/95). The figures
for periods prior to the initial offering dates reflect the performance of
Class I, the original class of each fund, which class does not have a 12b-1
fee. Class III figures would have been lower had 12b-1 fees been reflected
in all periods. Class III shares of Government have a 0.25% 12b-1 fee,
which is reflected in the figures for periods after its initial offering of
Class III shares. Prior to July 1, 1995, Class III shares of Treasury,
Domestic, and Money Market had a 0.32% 12b-1 fee, which is reflected in
figures after the initial offering dates of Class III shares of these
funds. Effective July 1, 1995, Class III shares of Treasury, Domestic, and
Money Market have a 0.25% 12b-1 fee, which is reflected in figures after
that date for Class III shares of these funds. Effective November 1, 1995,
Class III shares of Treasury Only, Rated Money Market, and Tax-Exempt have
a 0.25% 12b-1 fee, which is reflected in figures after that date for these
funds.
The following tables show the growth in value of a hypothetical $10,000
investment in each class of each fund during the past 10 fiscal years ended
1997 or life of each fund, as applicable, assuming all distributions were
reinvested. The figures below reflect the fluctuating interest rates of the
specified periods and should not be considered representative of the
dividend income or capital gain or loss that could be realized from an
investment in a class today. Tax consequences of different investments have
not been factored into the figures below.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS. A fund's performance may be compared to the
performance of other mutual funds in general, or to the performance of
particular types of mutual funds. These comparisons may be expressed as
mutual fund rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper),
an independent service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the
performance of mutual funds. Generally, Lipper rankings are based on
tot al return, assume reinvestment of distributions, do not take sales
charges or redemption fees into consideration, and ar e prepared
without regard to tax consequences. Lipper may also rank funds based on
yield. In addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance may be
compared to stock, bond, and money market mutual fund performance indices
prepared by Lipper or other organizations. When comparing these indices, it
is important to remember the risk and return characteristics of each type
of investment. For example, while stock mutual funds may offer higher
potential returns, they also carry the highest degree of share price
volatility. Likewise, money market funds may offer greater stability of
principal, but generally do not offer the higher potential returns
available from stock mutual funds.
From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals.
For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising
materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates
mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that
compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate
categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.
A fund may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit (CDs) or
other investments issued by banks or other depository institutions. Mutual
funds differ from bank investments in several respects. For example, a fund
may offer greater liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, a fund
does not guarantee your principal or your return, and fund shares are not
FDIC insured.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand
their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. Such
information may include information about current economic, market, and
political conditions; materials that describe general principles of
investing, such as asset allocation, diversification, risk tolerance, and
goal setting; questionnaires designed to help create a personal financial
profile; worksheets used to project savings needs based on assumed rates of
inflation and hypothetical rates of return; and action plans offering
investment alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of
Fidelity's asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and
services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical
returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common
stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds,
intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury
bills, the U.S. rate of inflation ( based on the CPI), and combinations
of various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is
based on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to
demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance
comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any
of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in
any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the
funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future.
A fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which it may invest to averages published by IBC Financial Data, Inc. of
Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions. IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT AVERAGES(trademark)/Government,
which is reported in IBC's MONEY FUND REPORT(trademark), covers over ___
government money market funds; IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND
AVERAGES(trademark)/ All Taxable, which is reported in the MONEY FUND
REPORT(trademark), covers over__ taxable money market funds; and
IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND AVERAGES(trademark)/ All Tax-Free, which is
reported in the MONEY FUND REPORT(trademark), covers over ___ tax-free
money market fun ds.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products
and services, which may include other Fidelity funds; retirement investing;
brokerage products and services; model portfolios or allocations; saving
for college or other goals; charitable giving; and the Fidelity credit
card. In addition, Fidelity may quote or reprint financial or business
publications and periodicals as they relate to current economic and
political conditions, fund management, portfolio composition, investment
philosophy, investment techniques, the desirability of owning a particular
mutual fund, and Fidelity services and products. Fidelity may also reprint,
and use as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus,
a quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and CUSIP
number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
A fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or other
programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes, which may
produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a $1,000
investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have an after-tax
value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted from the return
each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent tax-deferred investment would have
an after-tax value of $2,100 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted at
a 31% rate from the tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year
period.
As of ____ , FMR advised over $__ billion in tax-free fund assets,
$__ billion in money market fund assets, $___ billion in equity fund
assets, $__ billion in international fund assets, and $___ billion in
Spartan fund assets. The funds may reference the growth and variety of
money market mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in
the industry. The equity funds under management figure represents the
largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund
investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading
equity (stock) fund manager. FMR, its subsidiaries, and affiliates maintain
a worldwide information and communications network for the purpose of
researching and managing investments abroad.
In addition to performance rankings, each class may compare its total
expense ratio to the average total expense ratio of similar funds tracked
by Lipper. A class's total expense ratio is a significant factor in
comparing bond and money market investments because of its effect on yield.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are valued in
computing a class's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities or other
property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax purposes, and
will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act, each fund is required to give
shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating or modifying its
exchange privilege. Under the Rule, the 60-day notification requirement may
be waived if (i) the only effect of a modification would be to reduce or
eliminate an administrative fee, redemption fee, or deferred sales charge
ordinarily payable at the time of an exchange, or (ii) a fund suspends the
redemption of the shares to be exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or
the rules and regulations thereunder, or a fund to be acquired suspends the
sale of its shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively in
accordance with its investment objective and policies.
In the prospectus, each fund has notified shareholders that it reserves the
right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange purchases by
any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and
policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. Because each fund's income is primarily derived from interest,
dividends from the fund generally will not qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders. A portion
of each fund's dividends derived from certain U.S. Government obligations
may be exempt from state and local taxation.
To the extent that each fund's income is designated as federally tax-exempt
interest, the daily dividends declared by the fund are also federally
tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains are distributed as dividend income,
but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction. These gains will
be taxed as ordinary income.
Each fund will send each shareholder a notice in January describing the tax
status of dividend and capital gain distributions (if any) for the prior
year.
Shareholders are required to report tax-exempt income on their federal tax
returns. Shareholders who earn other income, such as Social Security
benefits, may be subject to federal income tax on up to 85% of such
benefits to the extent that their income, including tax-exempt income,
exceeds certain base amounts.
Tax-Exempt purchases municipal securities whose interest FMR believes is
free from federal income tax. Generally, issuers or other parties have
entered into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax
requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the
life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with,
or if the IRS determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax
requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally
taxable retroactive to the date the security was issued. For certain types
of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free
income may also be based on the federal tax treatment of the structure.
As a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, interest on certain "private
activity" securities is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax
(AMT), although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income
for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities will be
considered tax-exempt for purposes of Tax-Exempt's policy of investing so
that at least 80% of its income distribution is free from federal income
tax. Interest from private activity securities is a tax preference item for
the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and
the amount of AMT to be paid, if any. Private activity securities issued
after August 7, 1986 to benefit a private or industrial user or to finance
a private facility are affected by this rule.
A portion of the gain on bonds purchased with market discount after April
30, 1993 and short-term capital gains distributed by the fund are taxable
to shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains. Dividend distributions
resulting from a recharacterization of gain from the sale of bonds
purchased with market discount after April 30, 1993 are not considered
income for the purposes of Tax-Exempt's policy of investing so that at
least 80% of its income distribution is free from federal income tax.
Tax-Exempt may distribute any net realized short-term capital gains and
taxable market discount once a year or more often, as necessary, to
maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per share.
It is the current position of the staff of the SEC that a fund that uses
the term "tax-exempt" in its name may not derive more than 20% of its
income from municipal obligations that pay interest that is a preference
item for purposes of the AMT. According to this position, at least 80% of
Tax-Exempt's income would have to be exempt from the AMT as well as from
federal income taxes.
Corporate investors should note that a tax preference item for the purposes
of the corporate AMT is 75% of the amount by which adjusted current
earnings (which includes tax-exempt interest) exceeds the alternative
minimum taxable income of the corporation. If a shareholder receives an
exempt-interest dividend and sells shares at a loss after holding them for
a period of six months or less, the loss will be disallowed to the extent
of the amount of the exempt-interest dividend.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Each fund may distribute any net realized
short-term capital gains once a year or more often as necessary, to
maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per share. Treasury Only, Treasury,
Government, Domestic, Rated Money Market, and Money Market do not
anticipate earning long-term capital gains on securities held by each fund.
Tax-Exempt does not anticipate distributing long-term capital gains.
As of the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, Treasury Only had capital

for Treasury Only, of which $___, $___, and $___ will expire on March 31,
___, ___, and ___, respectively, is available to offset future capital

loss carryforwards aggregating approximately $___. The loss carryforward
for Rated Money Market, of which $___, $___, and $___ will expire on March
31, ___, ___, and ___, respectively, is available to offset future capital

___, ___, ___, and ___, respectively, is available to offset future capital
gains.

carryforwards aggregating approximately $___. The loss carryforward for
Tax-Exempt, which will expire on May 31, ___, is available to offset future
capital gains .
STATE AND LOCAL TAX ISSUES. For mutual funds organized as business trusts,
state law provides for a pass-through of the state and local income tax
exemption afforded to direct owners of U.S. Government securities. Some
states limit this to mutual funds that invest a certain amount in U.S.
Government securities, and some types of securities, such as repurchase
agreements and some agency backed securities, may not qualify for this
benefit. The tax treatment of your dividend distributions from a fund will
be the same as if you directly owned your proportionate share of the U.S.
Government securities in the fund's portfolio. Because the income earned on
most U.S. Government securities in which a fund invests is exempt from
state and local income taxes, the portion of your dividends from the fund
attributable to these securities will also be free from income taxes. The
exemption from state and local income taxation does not preclude states
from assessing other taxes on the ownership of U.S. Government securities.
In a number of states, corporate franchise (income) tax laws do not exempt
interest earned on U.S. Government securities whether such securities are
held directly or through a fund.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may
also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign
securities. If, at the close of its fiscal year, more than 50% of a fund's
total assets are invested in securities of foreign issuers, the fund may
elect to pass through foreign taxes paid and thereby allow shareholders to
take a credit or deduction on their individual tax returns.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund intends 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 at the fund level,
each fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment
income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as
on a fiscal year basis.
Each fund is treated as a separate entity from the other funds of its
respective Trust for tax purposes.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some of
the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its shareholders,
and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. In
addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and
local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and
local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers
to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.
FMR
All of the stock of FMR is owned by FMR Corp., its parent organized in
1972. The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes.
Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family
and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting
common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member
employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the
vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B
shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which
all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of
Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where
one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting
stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common
stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of
the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling
group with respect to FMR Corp.
At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are those
conducted by its division, Fidelity Investments Retail Marketing Company,
which provides marketing services to various companies within the Fidelity
organization.
Fidelity investment personnel may invest in securities for their own
account pursuant to a code of ethics that sets forth all employees'
fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establishes procedures for
personal investing and restricts certain transactions. For example, all
personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance, and participation
in initial public offerings is prohibited. In addition, restrictions on the
timing of personal investing in relation to trades by Fidelity funds and on
short-term trading have been adopted.

J For the fiscal year ended _____, certain of the non-interested Trustees'
aggregate compensation from a fund includes accrued voluntary deferred
compensation as follows: [trustee name, dollar amount of deferred
compensation, fund name].
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988 and modified in
November 1995, each non-interested Trustee who retired before December 30,
1996 may receive payments from a Fidelity fund during his or her lifetime
based on his or her basic trustee fees and length of service. The
obligation of a fund to make such payments is neither secured nor funded. A
Trustee becomes eligible to participate in the program at the end of the
calendar year in which he or she reaches age 72, provided that, at the time
of retirement, he or she has served as a Fidelity fund Trustee for at least
five years.
The non-interested Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a
percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of a Deferred
Compensation Plan (the Plan). Under the Plan, compensation deferred by a
Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been
invested and reinvested in shares of one or more funds in the complex
designated by such Trustee (designated securities). The amount paid to the
Trustee under the Plan will be determined based upon the performance of
such investments. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a
negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per
share, and will not obligate the fund to retain the services of any Trustee
or to pay any particular level of compensation to the Trustee. The funds
may invest in such designated securities under the Plan without shareholder
approval.
As of December 30, 1996, the non-interested Trustees terminated the
retirement program for Trustees who retire after such date. In connection
with the termination of the retirement program, each existing
non-interested Trustee received a credit to his or her Plan account equal
to the present value of the estimated benefits that would have been payable
under the retirement program. The amounts credited to the non-interested
Trustees' Plan accounts are subject to vesting. The termination of the
retirement program and related crediting of estimated benefits to the
Trustees' Plan accounts did not result in a material cost to the funds.
As of __________, 1997, approximately __% of Treasury Only's, __% of
Treasury's, __% of Government's, __% of Domestic's, __% of Rated Money
Market's, __% of Money Market's, and __% of Tax-Exempt's total outstanding
shares was held by an FMR affiliates. FMR Corp. is the ultimate parent
company of this FMR affiliate. By virtue of his ownership interest in FMR
Corp., as described in the "FMR" section on page ___, Mr. Edward C. Johnson
3d, President and Trustee of the fund, may be deemed to be a beneficial
owner of these shares. As of the above date, with the exception of Mr.
Johnson 3d's deemed ownership of ______ shares, the Trustees and officers
of the funds owned, in the aggregate, less than __% of each fund's total
outstanding shares.
As of _______________, 1997, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board,
and officers of each fund owned, in the aggregate, less than __% of each
fund's total outstanding shares.
As of _______________, 1997, the following owned of record or beneficially
5% or more of outstanding shares of the funds:
A shareholder owning of record or beneficially more than 25% of a fund's
outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That
shareholder's vote could have a more significant effect on matters
presented at a shareholders' meeting than votes of other shareholders.
MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
Each fund employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
Under its management contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment
adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs
the investments of each fund in accordance with its investment objective,
policies, and limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary
office facilities and personnel for servicing each fund's investments,
compensates all officers of each fund, all Trustees who are "interested
persons" of the trusts or of FMR, and all personnel of each fund or FMR for
performing services relating to research, statistical and investment
activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, provides the management and administrative services necessary
for the operation of each fund. These services include providing facilities
for maintaining each fund's organization; supervising relations with
custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters, and
other persons dealing with each fund; preparing all general shareholder
communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining each
fund's records and the registration of each fund's shares under federal and
state laws; developing management and shareholder services for each fund;
and furnishing reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects
to the Trustees.
In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
UMB, FIIOC, and FSC, each fund or class thereof, as applicable, pays all of
its expenses, without limitation, that are not assumed by those parties.
Each fund (other than Rated Money Market) pays for the typesetting,
printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal
expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor and non-interested
Trustees. Although each fund's (other than Rated Money Market's) current
management contract provides that the fund will pay for typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information,
notices and reports to shareholders, the trusts, on behalf of each fund,
have entered into revised transfer agent agreements with FIIOC and UMB, as
applicable, pursuant to which FIIOC or UMB bears the costs of providing
these services to existing shareholders of the applicable classes. Other
expenses paid by each fund (other than Rated Money Market) include
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, each fund's proportionate share of
insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of
registering shares under federal and state securities laws. Each fund is
also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs
of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it
may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
FMR is responsible for the payment of all expenses of Rated Money
Market with certain exceptions. Specific expenses payable by FMR
include, without limitation, expenses for the typesetting, printing, and
mailing of proxy materials to shareholders; legal expenses, and the fees of
the custodian, auditor, and interested Trustees; costs of typesetting,
printing, and mailing prospectuses and statements of additional
information, notices and reports to shareholders; and the fund's
proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute
dues. FMR also provides for transfer agent and dividend disbursing services
through FIIOC and portfolio and general accounting record maintenance
through FSC.
FMR pays all other expenses of Rated Money Market with the following
exceptions: fees and expenses of all Trustees of the applicable trust who
are not "interested persons" of the trust or FMR (the non-interested
Trustees); taxes; brokerage commissions (if any); and such nonrecurring
expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which a fund
may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify the
officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.
FMR is each fund's manager pursuant to management contracts dated May 30,
1993 for Treasury, Government, Domestic, and Money Market ; January 29,
1992 for Tax-Exempt; ________ for Treasury Only; and December 29, 1994 for
Rated Mone y Market. The management contracts were approved by
shareholders on November 18, 1992, November 13, 1991, _________ , and
December 8, 1994, respectively .
On __________, 1997 shareholders of Treasury Only approved a change in
the fund's management contract. The prior contract dated September 30, 1993
and approved by shareholders on March 24, 1993 was substantially identical
to the management contract currently in effect for Rated Money Market.
For the services of FMR under each contract, each fund (other than Rated
Money Market) pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual rate of 0.20%
of average net assets throughout the month. Rated Money Market each pays
FMR a monthly ma nagement fee at the annual rate of 0.42% of average net
assets throughout the month. The management fees paid to FMR by Rated
Money Market is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid
by the respective fu nds to the non-interested Trustees. Fees received
by FMR for the last three fiscal periods are shown in the table below.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of each
class's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, extraordinary expenses, and any applicable 12b-1 fees). FMR
retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the
amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal
year. Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase each class's total
returns and yield and repayment of the reimbursement by each class will
lower its total returns and yield.
Effective July 1, 1995, FMR voluntarily agreed, subject to revision or
termination, to reimburse each fund if and to the extent that each fund's
aggregate operating expenses, including management fees but excluding any
applicable 12b-1 fees, were in excess of the annual rate of 0.20% (0.18%
for Money Market) of its average net assets. Prior to July 1, 1995, FMR
voluntarily agreed to reimburse each fund if and to the extent each fund's
aggregate operating expenses, including management fees but excluding any
applicable 12b-1 fees, were in excess of 0.18% (0.20% for Treasury Only) of
its average net assets.

Each fund has a distribution agreement with FDC, a Massachusetts
corporation organized on July 18, 1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreements call
for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business,
to secure purchasers for shares of each fund, which are continuously
offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with
the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLANS
The Trustees have approved a Distribution and Service Plan on behalf of
Class I, Class II, and Class III of each fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Rule). The Rule
provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or
indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result
in the sale of shares of a fund except pursuant to a plan approved on
behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plans, as approved by the Trustees,
allow Class I, Class II and Class III of the funds and FMR to incur certain
expenses that might be considered to constitute direct or indirect payment
by the funds of distribution expenses.
Pursuant to each Class II Plan, FDC is paid a monthly distribution fee as a
percentage of Class II's average net assets at an annual rate of 0.15%,
determined as of the close of business on each day throughout the month.
Pursuant to each Class III Plan, FDC is paid a monthly distribution fee as
a percentage of Class III's average net assets at an annual rate of 0.25%,
determined as of the close of business on each day throughout the month.
For the fiscal year ended ______, and 1996, Class II of each fund paid the
following distribution fees:

FDC retained ___ of the distribution fees paid by Class III of each fund
for the periods reported above.
Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the funds to FMR is
deemed to be indirect financing by the funds of the distribution of their
shares, such payment is authorized by the Plans. Each Plan specifically
recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past
profits, or its other resources, to reimburse FDC for expenses incurred
in connection with the distribution of Class I, Class II, and Class III
shares, including payments made to third parties that assist in selling
Class I, Class II, and Class III shares of each fund, or to third parties,
including banks that render shareholder support services or engage in the
sale of Class I, Class II, and Class III shares. The Trustees have
authorized such payments.
Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and have
determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit
Class I, Class II and Class III of the ap plicable fund and its
shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Class I plan does
not authorize payments by Class I of each fund other than those made to FMR
under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that each Plan
gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution
of shares of Class I, Class II, and Class III of each fund, additional
sales of fund shares may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder
support services may be provided more effectively under the Plans by local
entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.
The Class II and III plans do not provide for specific payments by Class
II and Class III of any of the expenses of FDC or obligate FDC or FMR to
perform any specific type or level of distribution activities or incur any
specific level of expense in connection with distribution activities. After
payments by FDC for advertising, marketing and distribution, and payments
to third parties, the amounts remaining, if any, may be used as FDC may
elect.
The Class I plans were approved by shareholders of Class I of each of
Treasury, Government, Domestic, and Money Market on November 18, 1992, by
shareholders of Class I of Tax-Exempt on November 30, 1991; by shareholders
of Class I of Treasury Only on March 24, 1993, and by shareholders of
Class I of Rated Money Market on December 8, 1994. Each Class I plan was
approved by shareholders, in connection with a reorganization transaction
on May 30, 1993 for Treasury, Government, Domestic, and Money Market;
January 29, 1992 for Tax-Exempt, September 29, 1993 for Treasury Only, and
December 29, 1994 for Rated Money Market, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
of Conversion.
The Class II plans were approved by FMR as the then sole shareholder of
Class II of each fund on October 31, 1995.
The Class III plan for Treasury was approved by FMR as the then sole
shareholder on October 22, 1993. The Class III plan for Government was
approved by FMR as the then sole shareholder on April 4, 1994. The Class
III plan for Domestic was approved by FMR as the then sole shareholder on
July 19, 1994. The Class III plan for Money Market was approved by FMR as
the then sole shareholder on November 17, 1993. The Class III plans for
Treasury Only, Tax-Exempt, and Rated Money Market were approved by FMR as
the then sole shareholder on October 31, 1995.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state chartered or
supervised banks from engaging in the business of underwriting, selling, or
distributing securities. Although the scope of this prohibition under the
Glass-Steagall Act has not been clearly defined by the courts or
appropriate regulatory agencies, FDC believes that the Glass-Steagall Act
should not preclude a bank from performing shareholder support services, or
servicing and recordkeeping functions. FDC intends to engage banks only to
perform such functions. However, changes in federal or state statutes and
regulations pertaining to the permissible activities of banks and their
affiliates or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or administrative
decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from continuing to
perform all or a part of the contemplated services. If a bank were
prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what actions, if
any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and effective
shareholder services. In such event, changes in the operation of the funds
might occur, including possible termination of any automatic investment or
redemption or other services then provided by the bank. It is not expected
that shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a
result of any of these occurrences. In addition, state securities laws on
this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed
herein, and banks and other financial institutions may be required to
register as dealers pursuant to state law.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities
issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plans.
No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be
shown in the selection of investments.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUSTS
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Treasury Only, Treasury, Government, Domestic, and
Money Market are funds of Fidelity Institutional Cash Portfolios, an
open-end management investment company originally organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on November 10, 1981, pursuant to a
Declaration of Trust that was amended and restated on April 9, 1985. On May
30, 1993, the trust was converted to a Delaware business trust pursuant to
an agreement approved by shareholders on November 18, 1992. The Delaware
trust, which was organized on June 20, 1991 under the name Fidelity
Government Securities Fund, succeeded to the name Fidelity Institutional
Cash Portfolios II on May 28, 1993, and then to the name Fidelity
Institutional Cash Portfolios on May 28, 1993. Currently, there are five
funds of the trust: Treasury Only, Treasury, Government, Domestic, and
Money Marke t. The Trust Instrument permits the Trustees to create
additional funds. Prior to ______, 1997, Treasury Only was a fund of the
Daily Money Fund.
Rated Money Market is a fund of Fidelity Money Market Trust, an open-end
management investment company originally organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on August 21, 1978, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust that
was amended and restated on November 1, 1989. On December 29, 1994, the
trust was converted to a Delaware business trust pursuant to an agreement
approved by shareholders on December 8, 1994. The Delaware trust, which was
organized on June 20, 1991 under the name Fidelity Money Market Trust II,
succeeded to the name Fidelity Money Market Trust on December 29, 1994.
Currently, there are three funds of Fidelity Money Market Trust: Rated
Money Market, Retirement Money Market Portfolio, and Retirement Government
Money Market Portfolio. The Trust Instrument permits the Trustees to create
additional funds.
Tax-Exempt is a fund of Fidelity Institutional Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolios,
an open-end management investment company originally organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on March 1, 1982, pursuant to a Declaration of
Trust that was amended and restated on April 9, 1985, and supplemented on
December 15, 1989. On January 29, 1992, the trust was converted to a
Delaware business trust pursuant to an agreement approved by shareholders
on November 13, 1991. The Delaware trust, which was organized on June 20,
1991 under the name Fidelity Institutional Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolios II,
succeeded to the name Fidelity Institutional Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolios on
January 29, 1992. Currently, Tax-Exempt is the only fund of Fidelity
Institutional Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolios. The Trust Instrument permits the
Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR ceases to be the investment adviser to a fund, the
right of the trust or fund to use the identifying name "Fidelity" may be
withdrawn. There is a remote possibility that one fund might become liable
for any misstatement in its prospectus or statement of additional
information about another fund.
The assets of the trusts received for the issue or sale of shares of each
fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject only
to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of
each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be charged
with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of the
general expenses of the trust. Expenses with respect to the trusts are to
be allocated in proportion to the asset value of the respective funds,
except where allocations of direct expense can otherwise be fairly made.
The officers of the trusts, subject to the general supervision of the Board
of Trustees, have the power to determine which expenses are allocable to a
given fund, or which are general or allocable to all of the funds. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of a trust, shareholders of each
fund are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. Each trust is a business trust organized
under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that shareholders shall be
entitled to the same limitations of personal liability extended to
stockholders of private corporations for profit. The courts of some states,
however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this point. The Trust
Instruments contain an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the
debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trusts and require
that a disclaimer be given in each contract entered into or executed by the
trust or the Trustees. The Trust Instruments provide for indemnification
out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund. The Trust Instruments
also provide that each 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 Delaware law does not apply, no contractual
limitation of liability was in effect, and the fund is unable to meet its
obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is extremely remote.
The Trust Instruments further provide that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, shall not be personally liable to any person
other than the trust or its shareholders; moreover, the Trustees shall not
be liable for any conduct whatsoever, provided that Trustees are not
protected 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. Claims
asserted against one class of shares may subject holders of another class
of shares to certain liabilities.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder of Rated Money Market, you receive one vote for
each dollar value of net asset value you own. The shares have no preemptive
or conversion rights; the voting and dividend rights, the right of
redemption, and the privilege of exchange are described in the Prospectus.
Shares are fully paid and non-assessable, except as set forth under the
heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability" above. Shareholders
representing 10% or more of a trust, fund, or class may, as set forth in
each of the Trust Instruments, call meetings of the trust, fund, or class,
for any purpose related to the trust, fund, or class, as the case may be,
including, in the case of a meeting of the entire trust, the purpose of
voting on removal of one or more Trustees.
Any trust or fund may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or
merger with, another open-end management investment company or series
thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally such
terminations must be approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the trust or fund (or, for Rated Money Market, as
determined by the current value of each shareholder's investment in the
fund or trust); however, the Trustees may, without prior shareholder
approval, change the form of organization of the trust or fund by merger,
consolidation, or incorporation. If not so terminated, the trust and its
funds will continue indefinitely.
Under the Trust Instruments, the Trustees may, without shareholder vote,
cause a trust to merge or consolidate into one or more trusts,
partnerships, or corporations, or cause the trust to be incorporated under
Delaware law, so long as the surviving entity is an open-end management
investment company that will succeed to or assume the trust's registration
statement. Each fund may invest all of its assets in another investment
company.
CUSTODIAN. The Bank of New York, 110 Washington Street, Ne w York,
New York, is custodian of the assets of each fund, except Tax-Exempt. UMB,
1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri, is custodian of the assets of
Tax-Exempt. Each custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's
assets and the appointment of the subcustodian banks and clearing agencies.
The custodian takes no part in determining the investment policies of a
fund or in deciding which securities are purchased or sold by a fund.
However, a fund may invest in obligations of the custodian and may purchase
securities from or sell securities to the custodian. Chase Manhattan
Bank, headquartered in New York, a lso may serve as a special purpose
custodian of certain assets in connection with pooled repurchase agreement
transactions.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the Board of
Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks,
including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR.
Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and
general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of
those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial
or other fund relationships.
AUDITORS. ______________ serves as the independent accountant for
Treasury Only, Rated Money Market, and Tax-Exempt. _______________ serves
as the independent accountant for the Treasury, Government, Domestic, and
Money Market. The auditors examine financial statements for the funds and
provide other audit, tax, and related services.

original maturity not exceeding one year.
Issuers rated PRIME-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a
superior ability for repayment of principal and payment of interest.
Issuers rated PRIME-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a
strong capacity for repayment of principal and payment of interest.

Debt issues considered short -term in the relevant market may be
assigned a Standard & Poor's commercial paper rating.
A-1 - This highest category indicates that the degree of safety
regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess
extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+)
designation.
A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated A-1.

Treasury Fund), dated January 1, 1997 was electronically filed and is
incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 18 to Post-Effective Amendment
No. 44.
Item 25. Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with Registrant
The Board of Trustees of Registrant is the same as the boards of other
funds advised by FMR, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research
Company as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of these funds
are substantially identical. Nonetheless, Registrant takes the position
that it is not under common control with these other funds since the power
residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an
official position with the respective funds.
Item 26. Number of Holders of Securities as of February 28, 1996
Title of Class Number of Recordholders
Prime Fund- Daily Money Class
(formerly Money Market Portfolio-Initial Class) 226,171

Item 27. Indemnification
Pursuant to Del. Code Ann. title 12 (sub-section) 3817, a Delaware
business trust may provide in its governing instrument for the
indemnification of its officers and trustees from and against any and all
claims and demands whatsoever. Article X, Section 10.02 of the Trust
Instrument states that the Registrant shall indemnify any present trustee
or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and
all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any
claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue
of his or her service as a trustee, officer, or both, and against any
amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided
to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to
the Registrant or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties
(collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in
the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of
the Registrant. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be
provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Trust
Instrument, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling
conduct.
Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Registrant
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its
directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any
loss, liability, claim, damages or expense arising by reason of any person
acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration
statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder
reports or other information filed or made public by the Registrant
included a materially misleading statement or omission. However, the
Registrant does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless
to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and
in conformity with, information furnished to the Registrant by or on behalf
of the Distributor. The Registrant does not agree to indemnify the parties
against any liability to which they would be subject by reason of their own
disabling conduct.
Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Service Company, Inc.
("Service") is appointed sub-transfer agent, the Transfer Agent agrees to
indemnify Service for Service's losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) (losses) to the
extent that the Transfer Agent is entitled to and receives indemnification
from the Portfolio for the same events. Under the Transfer Agency
Agreement, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold the Transfer Agent
harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:
(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the
Registrant, including by a shareholder which names the Transfer Agent
and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result
from the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or
reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with the
Transfer Agent's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or
(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to
by the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or
reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the
Registrant, or from the Transfer Agent's acting upon any instruction(s)
reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any
person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of the Transfer
Agent's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by the Transfer
Agent to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of
the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock
certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed,
countersigned or executed by the proper person.
Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Service Company, Inc.
("Service") is appointed transfer agent, the Registrant agrees to indemnify
and hold Service harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting
from:
(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the
Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names Service and/or the
Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result from the
Service's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless
disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with Service's
performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or
(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to
by Service's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless
disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the Registrant,
or from Service's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it
to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the
Registrant, or as a result of Service's acting in reliance upon advice
reasonably believed by Service to have been given by counsel for the
Registrant, or as a result of Service's acting in reliance upon any
instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been
genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional
Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC") is appointed sub-transfer agent, the
Transfer Agent agrees to indemnify FIIOC for FIIOC's losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses) (losses) to the extent that the Transfer Agent is entitled to and
receives indemnification from the Portfolio for the same events. Under the
Transfer Agency Agreement, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold the
Transfer Agent harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting
from:
(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the
Registrant, including by a shareholder which names the Transfer Agent
and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result
from the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or

by the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or
reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the

reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any
person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of the Transfer
Agent's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by the Transfer
Agent to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of
the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock
certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed,
countersigned or executed by the proper person.

disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the Registrant,
