PROSPECTUS
DATED APRIL 30, 1994
The following information replaces the similar information found under the
"Expenses"section beginning on page P-7.
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy, sell, or
hold shares of a fund. See pages P-50 to P-56 for an explanation of how and
when these charges apply. Lower sales charges may be available for accounts
over $250,000.
Maximum sales charge on purchases (as a % of offering price) 3.00%
Maximum sales charge on reinvested dividends None
Deferred sales charge on redemptions None
Exchange fee (stock funds only) $7.50
Maximum redemption fees (stock funds only)
on shares held 29 days or less (as a % of redemption amount) 0.75%
on shares held 30 days or more $7.50
Annual account maintenance fee
(for accounts under $2,500) $12.00
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each
fund pays management fees to FMR. Each fund also incurs other expenses for
services such as maintaining shareholder statements and financial reports.
Expenses are factored into each fund's share price or dividends and are not
charged directly to shareholder accounts (see page P-46).
The operating expenses are projections based on historical expenses
adjusted to reflect the current contracts, and are calculated as a
percentage of average net assets. A portion of the brokerage commissions
that some of the funds paid was used to reduce fund expenses. Without this
reduction, the total fund operating expenses for the funds would have been
higher.
EXAMPLES. Let's say, hypothetically, that each fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as described. For every $1,000
you invested, the examples show how much you would have paid in total
expenses if you closed your account after the number of years indicated.
The examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
The following information replaces the corresponding information for the
specified funds found under the "Expenses" section beginning on page P-7.

The following paragraph supplements the information found in the section
entitled "Transaction Details" beginning on page P-53.
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. It is expected that accounts will be valued on the second
Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened after September 30 will
not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee, which is payable to the
transfer agent, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs
of servicing smaller accounts. The fee will not be deducted from retirement
accounts, accounts using regular investment plans, or if total assets in
Fidelity funds exceed $50,000. Eligibility for the $50,000 waiver is
determined by aggregating Fidelity mutual fund accounts maintained by FSC
or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or which
list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
