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
total Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C operating expenses
presented in the preceding table would have been:

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 Class A or Class T CDSC does not apply to the redemption of

and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and
their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans) purchased on or after
February 11, 1999) and 403(b) programs for plan loans or distributions
or exchanges to non-Advisor fund investment options; or
3. From Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, SEPs, SARSEPs and
plans covering a sole proprietor or self-employed individuals and
their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans) for disability, payment
of death benefits, or minimum required distributions starting at age
701/2.
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 replaces similar found under the heading
"Contingent Deferred Sales Charge" in the "Transaction Details"
section on page P-40.
Except as provided below, investment professionals with whom FDC
has agreements receive as compensation from FDC, at the time of sale,
a concession equal to 1.00% of your purchase of Class C shares. For
purchases of Class C shares made for an employee benefit plan, 403(b)

plan) or through reinvested dividends or capital gain distributions,
investment professionals do not receive a concession at the time of

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
"Exchange Restrictions" on page P-41.

You must notify FDC in advance if you qualify for a front-end sales
charge waiver.
If you are investing through an insurance company separate account,
if you are investing through a trust department, if you are investing
through an account managed by a broker-dealer, or if you have
authorized an investment adviser to make investment decisions for you,
you may qualify to purchase Class A shares without a sales charge (as
described in (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), and (7) on the previous page and
above), Class T shares without a sales charge (as described in (1),
(2), (3) and (4) at left), or Institutional Class shares. Because
Institutional Class shares have no sales charge, and do not pay a
12b-1 fee, Institutional Class shares are expected to have a higher
total return than Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C shares.
Contact your investment professional to discuss if you qualify.
THE CDSC ON CLASS B AND CLASS C SHARES MAY BE WAIVED:
1. In cases of disability or death, provided that the shares
are redeemed within one year following the death or the initial
determination of disability;
2. In connection with a total or partial redemption of
shares from retirement plans or accounts (other than of shares
purchased on or after February 11, 1999 for Traditional IRAs, Roth
IRAs and Rollover IRAs) at age 701/2, which are permitted without
penalty pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code;
3. In connection with the redemption of shares purchased on
or after February 11, 1999, from Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs and

4. In connection with redemptions through the Fidelity
Advisor Systematic Withdrawal Program; or
5. (APPLICABLE TO CLASS C ONLY) In connection with any
redemptions from an employee benefit plan, 403(b) program or plan
covering a sole-proprietor (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plan).
Your investment professional should advise Fidelity at the time
your redemption order is placed if you qualify for a waiver of the
Class B or Class C CDSC.

FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of
$12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an
annual maximum charge of $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.

FOR CLASS A AND CLASS T SHARES ONLY
FINDER'S FEE. For all funds, on eligible purchases of (i)
Class A shares in amounts of $1 million or more that qualify for a
Class A load waiver, (ii) Class A shares in amounts of $25 million or
more, or (iii) Class T shares in amounts of $1 million or more,
investment professionals will be compensated with a fee at the rate of
0.25% of the purchase amount. Except as provided below, Class A
eligible purchases are the following purchases made through
broker-dealers and banks: an individual trade of $25 million or more;
an individual trade of $1 million or more that is load waived; a trade
which brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of an investor
(including an employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a
plan covering self-employed individuals and their employees (formerly
a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)) or 403(b) program) past $25 million; a load
waived trade that brings the value of the accumulated account(s) of an
investor (including an employee benefit plan (except a SEP or SARSEP
plan or a plan covering self-employed individuals and their employees
(formerly a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)) or 403(b) program) past $1 million; a
trade for an investor with an accumulated account value of $25 million
or more; a load waived trade for an investor with an accumulated
account value of $1 million or more; an incremental trade toward an

plan (except a SEP or SARSEP plan or a plan covering self-employed
individuals and their employees (formerly a Keogh/H.R. 10 plan)) or
403(b) program) past $1 million; a trade for an investor with an
accumulated account value of $1 million or more; and an incremental
trade toward an investor's $1 million "Letter of Intent."
For the purpose of determining the availability of Class A or Class
T finder's fees, purchases of Class A or Class T shares made with the
proceeds from the redemption of shares of any Fidelity fund will not
be considered "eligible purchases."
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.
The Class A or Class T CDSC does not apply to the redemption of
shares:
1. Held by insurance company separate accounts;
2. From employee benefit plans (except shares of SIMPLE IRA, SEP,
and SARSEP plans and plans covering self-employed individuals and
their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans) purchased on or after
February 11, 1999) and 403(b) programs for plan loans or distributions
or exchanges to non-Advisor fund investment options; or
3. From Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, SEPs, SARSEPs and
plans covering a sole proprietor or self-employed individuals and
their employees (formerly Keogh/H.R. 10 plans) for disability, payment
of death benefits, or minimum required distributions starting at age
70 1/2.
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.
Investment professionals must notify FDC in advance of a purchase
eligible for a finder's fee, and may be required to enter into an
agreement with FDC in order to receive the finder's fee.
