          -------------------------------------



Dear Sir/Madam:

     On behalf of the Registrant, the undersigned certifies that
the form of Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information that
would have been filed under Section 497(c) would not have differed
from those contained in the text of the Registrant's most recent
post-effective amendment to its registration statement that was
filed electronically via EDGAR with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.


                                                  Very truly yours,

                                                  /s/ Peter D. Lowenstein
                                                  -----------------------
