arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce
custodian and transfer agent expenses. Including these reductions, the

The following information replaces the second paragraph found under
the heading "Finder's Fee" in the "Transaction Details" section on
page P-39.
Except as provided below, any assets on which a finder's fee has been
paid will bear a CDSC (Class A or Class T CDSC) if they do not remain
in Class A or Class T shares of the Fidelity Advisor funds, or Daily
Money Class shares of Treasury Fund, Prime Fund, or Tax-Exempt Fund,
for a period of at least one uninterrupted year. The Class A or Class
T CDSC will be 0.25% of the lesser of the cost of the Class A or Class
T shares, as applicable, at the initial date of purchase or the value
of the Class A or Class T shares, as applicable, at redemption, not
including any reinvested dividends or capital gains. Class A and Class
T shares acquired through distributions (dividends or capital gains)
will not be subject to a Class A or Class T CDSC. In determining the
applicability and rate of any Class A or Class T CDSC at redemption,
Class A or Class T shares representing reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, will be redeemed first, followed by those Class
A or Class T CDSC shares that have been held for the longest period of
time.
The following information replaces the fourth paragraph found under
the heading "Finder's Fee" in the "Transaction Details" section on
page P-39.
With respect to shares held by an insurance company separate account,
the Class A or Class T CDSC does not apply.
With respect to employee benefit plans, the Class A or Class T CDSC
does not apply to the following types of redemptions; (i) plan loans
or distributions or (ii) exchanges to non-Advisor fund investment
options. With respect to Individual Retirement Accounts, the Class A
or Class T CDSC does not apply to redemptions made for disability,
payment of death benefits, or required partial distributions starting
at age 70. Your investment professional should advise Fidelity at the
time your redemption order is placed if you qualify for a waiver of
the Class A or Class T CDSC.
The following information found in "Transaction Details" on page
P-41 is no longer applicable.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
FEE of $12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500
(including any amount paid as a sales charge), subject to an annual
maximum charge of $60.00 per shareholder. Accounts opened after
September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to offset in part
the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. The fee
will not be deducted from retirement accounts (except non-prototype
retirement accounts), accounts using a systematic investment program,
certain (Network Level I and III) accounts which are maintained
through National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC), or if total
assets in Fidelity mutual funds exceed $50,000. Eligibility for the
$50,000 waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity mutual fund
accounts (excluding contractual plans) maintained (i) by FIIOC and
(ii) through NSCC; provided those accounts are registered under the
same primary social security number.
The following information replaces similar information found in

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN
"ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION" ON PAGE 44.
CLASS A SHARES ONLY
Pursuant to Rule 22d-1 under the 1940 Act, FDC exercises its right to
waive Class A's front-end sales charge in connection with a fund's
merger with or acquisition of any investment company or trust. In
addition, FDC has chosen to waive Class A's front-end sales charge in
certain instances because of efficiencies in those sales of shares.
The sales charge will not apply:
1. to shares purchased for an employee benefit plan (including 403(b)
programs, but otherwise as defined in ERISA) with at least $25 million
or more in plan assets;
2. to shares purchased for an employee benefit plan (including 403(b)
programs, but otherwise as defined in ERISA) investing through an
insurance company separate account used to fund annuity contracts;
3. to shares purchased for an employee benefit plan (including 403(b)
programs, but otherwise as defined in ERISA) investing through a trust
institution, bank trusts department or insurance company, or any such
institution's broker-dealer affiliate that is not part of an
organization primarily engaged in the brokerage business. Employee
benefit plans that participate in the Advisor Retirement Connection do
not qualify for this waiver;
4. to shares purchased for an employee benefit plan (including 403(b)
programs, but otherwise as defined in ERISA) investing through an
investment professional sponsored program that requires the
participating employee benefit plan to initially invest in Class C or
Class B shares and, upon meeting certain criteria, subsequently
requires the plan to invest in Class A shares;
5. to shares purchased by a trust institution or bank trust department
for a managed account that is charged an asset-based fee. Employee
benefit plans (including 403(b) programs, but otherwise as defined in
ERISA) and accounts managed by third parties do not qualify for this
waiver;
6. to shares purchased by a broker-dealer for a managed account that
is charged an asset-based fee. Employee benefit plans (including
403(b) programs, but otherwise as defined in ERISA) do not qualify for
this waiver;
7. to shares purchased by a registered investment adviser that is not
part of an organization primarily engaged in the brokerage business
for an account that is managed on a discretionary basis and is charged
an asset-based fee. Employee benefit plans (including 403(b) programs,
but otherwise as defined in ERISA) do not qualify for this waiver;
or
8. to shares purchased by a bank trust officer, registered
representative, or other employee (or a member of one of their
immediate families) of investment professionals having agreements with
FDC .

Institutional Class of the Advisor funds. Insurance company employee
benefit plan programs include such programs offered by a broker-dealer
affiliate of an insurance company, provided that the affiliate is not

Except as provided below, any assets on which a finder's fee has been
paid will bear a contingent deferred sales charge (Class A or Class T
CDSC) if they do not remain in Class A or Class T shares of the
Fidelity Advisor Funds, or Daily Money Class shares of Treasury Fund,
Prime Fund or Tax-Exempt Fund, for a period of at least one
uninterrupted year. The Class A or Class T CDSC will be 0.25% of the
lesser of the cost of the Class A or Class T shares, as applicable, at
the initial date of purchase or the value of the Class A or Class T
shares, as applicable, at redemption, not including any reinvested
dividends or capital gains. Class A and Class T shares acquired
through distributions (dividends or capital gains) will not be subject
to a Class A or Class T CDSC. In determining the applicability and
rate of any Class A or Class T CDSC at redemption, Class A or Class T
shares representing reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any,
will be redeemed first, followed by those Class A or Class T shares
that have been held for the longest period of time.
Shares held by an insurance company separate account will be
aggregated at the client (e.g., the contract holder or plan sponsor)
level, not at the separate account level. Upon request, anyone
claiming eligibility for the 0.25% fee with respect to shares held by
an insurance company separate account must provide FDC access to
records detailing purchases at the client level.
With respect to shares held by an insurance company separate account,
the Class A or Class T CDSC does not apply.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FOUND IN "CONTRACTS WITH FMR AFFILIATES"
ON PAGE 59 IS NO LONGER APPLICABLE.
FIIOC also collects small account fees from certain accounts with
balances of less than $2,500.
