DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
In late August, just days after making what many market observers felt
would be the final interest-rate hike of 1999, Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Alan Greenspan re-ignited fears of further increases, calling
the continued rise of stocks "inexplicable." He also indicated that
stock movements would play a larger role in future monetary policy
deliberations. In response, equity and bond markets retreated from
solid gains earned earlier in the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

S&P 500 (registered trademark) 39.82% 219.75%
Growth Funds Average 40.40% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, or since the fund
started on October 4, 1994. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in
a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To measure how the
fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to
the growth funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual
funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year
average represents a peer group of 1,091 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund on October 4, 1994,
when the fund started and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As
the chart shows, by August 31, 1999, the value of the investment would
have grown to $30,581 - a 205.81% increase on the initial investment.
For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over
the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $31,975 - a 219.75% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the
share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will
vary. That means if you sell
your shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Several factors played feature roles
in the U.S. equity market's
performance over the past 12
months, with Federal Reserve Board
monetary policy, Internet stock
mania and Y2K concerns all taking
the stage at one point or another.
When the curtain eventually fell,
though, it was yet another gainful
period for stocks. For the 12 months
that ended August 31, 1999, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average -
an index of 30 well-known stocks
- - returned a lofty 45.92%. Both
large- and small-cap stocks got
into the act, as the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index - a gauge of
large-company performance -
returned 39.82% and the Russell
2000 Index - a small-company
barometer - returned 28.36%. For
the Dow, it was a period of
milestones as the average broke the
10,000-point plateau in late
March. Just over a month later, the
Dow cracked the 11,000-point
barrier. The period wasn't without
its plot twists, however. The Fed
cut interest rates in the fall -
which sparked a subsequent rally
- - but hiked rates this summer,
which caused the stock-market
engine to cool. Internet stocks also
played an important role during the
period, with many rising to
unprecedented - and potentially
unsustainable - heights. Finally, as
August came to a close, inflation, a
weakening dollar and Y2K
concerns were all popular topics of
discussion.

An interview with Adam Hetnarski, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Export
and Multinational Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, ADAM?
A. The fund did well. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 1999,
the fund returned 43.76%. This compared favorably to the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index, which returned 39.82% in that time, as well as to
the growth funds average, which returned 40.40% according to Lipper
Inc.
Q. CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE MAIN FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE
FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Sure. One factor was my decision to emphasize large-cap stocks over
medium- and small-cap stocks. Shareholders may notice, for instance,
more large, multinational companies at the top of the portfolio list,
such as Philip Morris and General Electric. Raising the fund's overall
market cap helped performance as the S&P 100 - a measure of the
largest 100 stocks in the U.S. - returned 48.76%, topping the broader
S&P 500. Another investment strategy that helped performance was my
conservative approach. Certainly, no stock fund can be categorized as
conservative, but my willingness to be patient and not jump on certain
bandwagons - i.e., the Internet - worked out well. I was more willing
to simply get on base rather than hit home runs. Finally, the fund was
aided nicely by good stock picking in certain sectors.
Q. WHAT SECTORS WERE THOSE AND WHICH STOCKS PERFORMED WELL?
A. Several of the fund's energy stocks provided a good boost to
returns. When the price of oil dipped to around $10 per barrel in late
1998, our analysts sensed a good opportunity. From November 1998 to
February 1999, I loaded up on names such as Marine Drilling, ENSCO,
Vastar Resources and Halliburton. When the price eventually rebounded
in the spring, these types of stocks emerged as winners. The fund's
position in utilities company MCI WorldCom and technology firm Ascend
Communications also generated positive results. Also, my decision to
underweight certain bank stocks proved wise, as stocks such as First
Union and Bank of America suffered from rising interest rates. At the
end of the period, the fund still held positions in ENSCO, Vastar
Resources and MCI World Com.
Q. TECHNOLOGY STOCKS HAD A NICE RUN DURING THE PERIOD. WHAT WAS YOUR
STRATEGY HERE?
A. Technology stock performance surprised me. Software-oriented stocks
endured a difficult stretch in the fall of 1998 and I thought hardware
companies would follow suit. As a result, I scaled back on the fund's
holdings in areas such as personal computers and semiconductors. As
1998 came to a close, however, declining PC costs triggered consumer
demand and these types of stocks performed well. On the flip side, the
fund did realize positive gains from technology holdings such as
Microsoft and from smaller positions in Internet names such as eBay
and Yahoo!
Q. WHAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT WAS IT FOR EXPORTERS?
A. When we entered the period, exporters were still smarting from
emerging-market concerns. Some of the larger, multinational firms,
though, recognized this concern as an opportunity. Two of the fund's
larger positions - General Electric and Citigroup - both set out to
leverage their business exposure in regions such as Russia and Asia.
Citigroup, for example, experienced strong growth among its
Japanese-based assets as that market slowly recovered.
Q. WHAT OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL? WHICH ONES PROVED DISAPPOINTING?
A. Clear Channel Communications - a large radio station operator - was
a good stock as it benefited from positive trends in advertising. MCI
WorldCom - a steady earnings grower - was the fund's top contributor
during the period. Disappointments included Monsanto, which stumbled
when a key acquisition fell through, and Mirage Resorts. Data
suggested that air traffic into Las Vegas was on the upswing, but the
information turned out to be inaccurate. Mirage also may have
overspent on investments in new casinos in Mississippi and Las Vegas.
The fund no longer owned Monsanto at the end of the period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'll be keeping a close eye on trends and data in the technology
area. Due to stretched valuations, opportunities in both technology
and the Internet may be somewhat limited. As I've stated in the past,
I'm going to maintain my flexible approach. I don't want to become too
enamored of one particular group of stocks.

ADAM HETNARSKI ON
GOLD STOCKS AND A
POTENTIAL ADVERTISING BOON:
"I've recently added a small
position in gold stocks to the
portfolio, based mostly on my
belief that inflation may be on the
rise soon. Everywhere I go lately, it
seems that prices are through the
roof, whether when buying a car or
home, going on vacation, or many
other areas. It seems obvious to
me that prices are up across the
board. Gold prices are typically
pegged to inflation, so if inflation
goes up, gold stocks should prosper.
"Another trend could emerge with
respect to advertising. Several
drivers - including increased
spending from Internet and
pharmaceutical companies - could
spark an increase in prices. In
addition, the new millennium
could serve as an attractive
promotional tie-in for
consumer-related industries such as
hotels, restaurants and travel.
Companies in different sectors -
such as Omnicom, a large
advertising company, and Clear
Channel Communications, which is
involved in radio stations and
billboards - could stand to
benefit."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Union Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are
readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Securities for which exchange
quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in
good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost
plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, and
losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SHORT-TERM TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the fund less
than 90 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to .75% of
the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the
fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser,
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - CONTINUED
is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying
securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements
stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund(the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,015,019,182 and $1,119,568,320, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .58% of average net assets.
SALES LOAD. For the period, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC),
an affiliate of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, received
sales charges of $100,692 on sales of shares of the fund of which
$100,089 was retained.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual rate of .24% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's
accounting records and administers the security lending program. The
security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending
transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net
assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $164,828 for the
period.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end, the value of the securities
loaned amounted to $2,715,113. The fund received cash collateral of
$2,616,478 which was invested in Central Cash Collateral Fund.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $195,740 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $2,483 and $9,912, respectively, under these arrangements.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund (a fund of Fidelity Union
Street Trust) at August 31, 1999, and the results of its operations,
the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the
periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which
included confirmation of securities at August 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

DISTRIBUTIONS
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Export and Multinational Fund voted

dividend of $.05 per share from net investment income.

OF SPECIAL NOTE
INTRODUCING FIDELITY'S NEW, REORGANIZED PROSPECTUS
Recently, the SEC issued new disclosure requirements for all mutual
fund prospectuses. While Fidelity could have complied by simply
following the new requirements, we saw a different opportunity. We saw
the chance to create a brand new prospectus: one that is better
organized, easier to use and more informative than ever.
The new format of the Fidelity mutual fund prospectus puts the
information you need to make informed investment decisions right at
your fingertips. In the opening pages, you will find the SEC-mandated
summary that highlights the fund's investment objectives, strategies
and risks. There's also an easy-to-read performance chart and fee
table right up front.
Inside, you will find additional features we've introduced to make the
fund prospectus a more useful tool. In our new Shareholder Information
section, for example, we have provided practical, beneficial
information - from how to buy or sell shares, key contact information,
investment services, ways to set up your account and more - all in one
convenient location.
We invite you to spend a moment and review our new prospectus. It is
designed to help make your investment decision easier, no matter which
of the Fidelity funds you invest in.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
In late August, just days after making what many market observers felt
would be the final interest-rate hike of 1999, Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Alan Greenspan re-ignited fears of further increases, calling
the continued rise of stocks "inexplicable." He also indicated that
stock movements would play a larger role in future monetary policy
deliberations. In response, equity and bond markets retreated from
solid gains earned earlier in the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
SPARTAN ARIZONA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as
reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had
not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the life of fund total returns
would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
SPARTAN ARIZONA MUNICIPAL 0.38% 36.15%
INCOME
LB Arizona Enhanced Municipal 1.05% 40.41%
Bond
Arizona Municipal Debt Funds -0.96% n/a
Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, or since the fund
started on October 11, 1994. For example, if you had invested $1,000
in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the
performance of the Lehman Brothers Arizona Enhanced Municipal Bond
Index - a market value-weighted index of Arizona investment-grade
municipal bonds with maturities of one year or more. To measure how
the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare
it to the Arizona municipal debt funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 38 mutual
funds. These benchmarks will include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Fund on October 31, 1994,
shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by August 31,
1999, the value of the investment would have grown to $13,856 - a
38.56% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how
the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a market value-weighted
index of investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of one year
or more - did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $14,122 - a
41.22% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will
do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return and yield of a fund that
invests in bonds will vary. That
means if you sell your shares
during a market downturn, you
might lose money. But if you
can ride out the market's ups
and downs, you may have a
gain.

fund. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the fund to
shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the fund's
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the fund are reinvested.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period.
If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of
$10.54 over the past one month, $10.76 over the past six months and
$10.88 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over
these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula
for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund,
averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It
also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a
taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're in
the 39.23% combined effective 1999 federal and state income tax
bracket, but does not reflect the payment of the federal alternative
minimum tax, if applicable.
SPARTAN ARIZONA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The municipal bond market endured
a variety of tribulations over the past
year. While municipal bonds slightly
trailed the returns of their taxable
bond counterparts, they significantly
outperformed government bonds on
an absolute basis. For the 12-month
period ending August 31, 1999, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index
- - an index of approximately 50,000
investment-grade, fixed-rate,
tax-exempt bonds - returned 0.50%,
lagging the 0.80% one-year return of
the overall taxable-bond market, as
measured by the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index. Meanwhile,
the market proxy for U.S. government
bonds, the Lehman Brothers
Long-Term Government Bond
Index, fell 4.99%. At the outset of
the 12-month period, municipals
were outdistanced by Treasuries,
which benefited from a massive flight
to safety during the global financial
crises of the fall. Munis were also
dragged down by 1998's
near-record issuance, which was
met by relatively subdued demand.
As supply tailed off late last year and
in early 1999, however, municipal bond
performance began to improve.
Unfortunately, a massive sell-off
by institutional investors, combined
with the fears of heightened
inflation and Y2K concerns, quickly
put a damper on municipal bonds.
Also, the Federal Reserve Board's
two subsequent rate hikes in June
and August put further downward
pressure on muni bond prices.

An interview with Christine Thompson, Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Arizona Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, CHRISTINE?
A. Although it was a disappointing period for municipal bonds, the
fund performed better than the average fund of its type. For the
12-month period that ended August 31, 1999, the fund had a total
return of 0.38%. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its
competitors, the Arizona municipal debt funds average returned -0.96%
for the same 12-month period, according to Lipper Inc. Additionally,
the Lehman Brothers Arizona Enhanced Municipal Bond Index - which
tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests - returned
1.05%.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND BEAT ITS PEERS?
A. A key factor was the duration management policy of the fund.
Duration measures a fund's interest-rate sensitivity. In keeping with
Fidelity's investment approach, I managed the fund's duration to be in
line with the Arizona municipal market as a whole, as reflected by the
Lehman Brothers Arizona Enhanced Municipal Bond Index. As a rule, I
don't lengthen or shorten duration based on where I think interest
rates will be at some point down the road, because I don't believe
that anyone can do so with any accuracy over time. But other funds in
the peer group do actively manage duration, and some increased their
interest-rate sensitivity, which likely caused their returns to suffer
when interest rates rose.
Q. WHAT OTHER STRATEGIES MADE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund's focus on high-quality bonds was a plus during the
period. I emphasized high-quality bonds throughout the period because
I felt that they were the better value, offering only slightly less
yield than lower-quality bonds in most instances. Over the past six
months in particular, rising interest rates, coupled with problems in
some lower-quality sectors - particularly health care - cast a pall
over lower-quality bonds in general.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Intermediate-maturity bonds - those set to mature within five and
15 years - were a disappointment earlier this year, although they
bounced back more recently. Initially, intermediates suffered
primarily from reduced demand and increased supply at the hands of
relatively heavy selling from some specific types of institutional
investors. In contrast, strong demand from individual investors helped
to support the performance of some shorter- and longer-term bonds.
However, I continued to emphasize intermediate bonds because, based on
Fidelity's quantitative models, I felt they offered the most
attractive value for their given interest-rate sensitivity and their
total return potential. The intermediate-maturity focus worked in the
fund's favor during the past several months, as institutional
investors began to buy intermediate-maturity bonds, helping them play
catch-up to their longer-term counterparts.
Q. WHERE DID YOU FIND OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE PERIOD?
A. I found some attractive opportunities among bonds backed by Arizona
colleges and universities. Education bonds offer diversification from
the economically sensitive areas of the market - such as general
obligation bonds, which depend on sales, property, income and other
tax revenue collections. In addition, demographic trends support a
growing number of students seeking to obtain advanced degrees over the
next several years. One interesting fact is that roughly 85% of
Arizona's students attend colleges or universities within the state. I
also continued to emphasize premium coupon bonds, those that pay
interest rates moderately above prevailing market rates and trade at
prices above face - or par - value. An appealing aspect of premiums
has been that they are insulated from unfavorable tax treatment that
can affect lower-coupon bonds during certain market environments.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. The decline in bond prices that we have seen over the past several
months reflects the anticipation of higher short-term interest rates.
In addition, municipals have lagged Treasury securities and are
attractively priced as a consequence. That's why I believe that
conditions support the idea that municipals can do well relative to
their Treasury counterparts.

CHRISTINE THOMPSON ON Y2K
AND ITS POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON
MUNICIPAL BOND ISSUERS:
"Y2K may pose a number of
challenges for municipal bond
issuers. My primary focus with
regard to Y2K-related issues is
how they will impact the credit
quality of various municipal bond
issuers. Fidelity's research team
asks municipal bond issuers a
number of things, including how
vulnerable they believe they are to
potential problems, what their
short-term contingency plans are in
the event of any problems and
what long-term solutions they've
developed. What we've found so far
is that there are varying degrees of
sophistication among issuers,
with some much more poised to
deal with potential problems than
others. That's why we carefully
consider Y2K-related issues as
one of the many factors in our
routine security selection
process."
(solid bullet) At the end of the period, the fund
had 7.9% of investments in bonds
issued by Puerto Rico and Guam.
As territories of the United States,
Puerto Rico and Guam can issue
bonds that are free from taxes in
all 50 states. When the supply of
Arizona municipals is limited or
their prices look expensive, the
fund occasionally invests in
Puerto Rico and Guam bonds.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To evaluate a money market fund's historical performance, you can look
at either total return or yield. Total return reflects the change in
the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's
dividend income, but does not include the effect of the fund's $5
account closeout fee on an average-sized account. Yield measures the
income paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries to maintain a
$1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the life of fund
total returns would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year or since the fund
started on October 11, 1994. For example, if you had invested $1,000
in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. To measure how the fund's performance
stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the all tax-free
money market funds average, which reflects the performance of all
tax-free money market funds with similar objectives tracked by IBC
Financial Data, Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group
of 459 money market funds.

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period.
Yields for money market funds are usually for seven-day periods,
expressed as annual percentage rates. A yield that assumes income
earned is reinvested or compounded is called an effective yield. The
table above shows the fund's current seven-day yield at quarterly
intervals over the past year. You can compare these yields to the all
tax-free money market funds average tracked by IBC Financial Data,
Inc. Or you can look at the fund's tax-equivalent yield, which is
based on a combined effective 1999 federal and state income tax rate
of 39.23%. The fund's yields mentioned above reflect that a portion of
the fund's income was subject to state taxes. A portion of the fund's
income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT
PAST RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
(checkmark)COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
Yields on tax-free investments
are usually lower than yields
on taxable investments.
However, a straight
comparison between the two
may be misleading because it
ignores the way taxes reduce
taxable returns. Tax-equivalent
yield - the yield you'd have to
earn on a similar taxable
investment to match the tax-free
yield - makes the comparison
more meaningful. Keep in
mind that the U.S. government
neither insures nor guarantees
a money market fund. In fact,
there is no assurance that a
money fund will maintain a $1
share price.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Scott Orr)
An interview with Scott Orr, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Arizona
Municipal Money Market Fund
Q. SCOTT, WHAT WAS THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT LIKE OVER THE 12 MONTHS
THAT ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999?
A. As the period began, the market was in turmoil because of
international economic difficulties. Despite domestic economic
strength, the Federal Reserve Board felt the need to help allay these
problems and boost the markets by employing three interest-rate cuts
from September through November 1998. By the beginning of 1999, the
market emerged from the shadow of the global financial crisis. The
international situation stabilized to the extent that focus once again
returned to economic growth in the U.S., which continued to be strong
spurred by healthy consumer demand and solid job growth. As time
passed, it became more and more clear that the Fed would discontinue
the interest-rate cuts it had employed.
Q. WHAT HAPPENED MORE RECENTLY?
A. In March and April, data indicated that inflation might not be as
well-behaved as it had been in the recent past. Sentiment shifted from
the expectation that Fed policy would be unchanged to one expecting a
Fed rate increase. Such a hike would be employed to curb economic
growth and diminish inflationary pressures. By the end of May, the
consensus viewpoint in the market was not "if" the Fed would raise
short-term interest rates, but "when." On June 30, the Fed raised the
rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - known as the fed
funds target rate - by 0.25 percentage points to 5.00%. Although the
Fed indicated at that time that it had changed from a bias toward
raising rates to a neutral stance, it wasn't long before signs emerged
indicating the strong possibility of another rate hike. The Fed
followed through with an additional 0.25 percentage point increase in
August, a pre-emptive move designed to try to head off the inflation
that might result from continued economic strength and a tight labor
market.
Q. WHAT WAS THE FUND'S STRATEGY DURING THE PERIOD?
A. During the period, there was not a lot of supply in the one-year,
fixed-rate note area, a typical scenario in the Arizona market. As a
result, I focused my investments on short-term, variable-rate
offerings and commercial paper. However, I also looked to take
advantage of opportunities when issuers came to market with one-year,
fixed-rate securities offering rates that would perform well relative
to short-term, variable-rate alternatives. Several of these deals came
to market in the summer, which brought the fund's average maturity to
62 days at the end of the period, longer than six months ago.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on August 31, 1999, was 2.86%, compared
to 3.01% 12 months ago. The more recent seven-day yield was the
equivalent of a 4.71% taxable rate of return for Arizona investors in
the 39.23% combined state and federal income tax bracket. The fund's
yields reflect that a portion of the fund's income was subject to
state taxes. Through August 31, 1999, the fund's 12-month total return
was 2.84%, compared to 2.66% for the all tax-free money market funds
average, according to IBC Financial Data, Inc.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. There is still a possibility that the Fed will increase short-term
rates again before the end of the year, if the economy remains strong,
labor markets stay tight and we see signs that wages are increasing.
Inflation, though well-behaved, is still a concern. It's conceivable
the Fed would look to implement one more rate hike to erase the
effects of its rate cuts in late 1998, which were implemented largely
to provide liquidity to the markets, not to supply fuel to the
economy. In addition, the Fed may want to implement its policy well in
advance of the new year, in an attempt to avoid changing interest-rate
policy during a time when potential Year 2000 (Y2K) computer problems
may occur. Indeed, a concern as we move toward the end of the year is
the Y2K issue and its possible impact on municipal securities. As one
of many factors we look at, we'll be paying close attention to this
issue in the months ahead.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Fund (the income fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Union Street Trust. Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market
Fund (the money market fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust
II. Each trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company. Fidelity Union Street Trust and Fidelity Union Street Trust
II (the trusts) are organized as a Massachusetts business trust and a
Delaware business trust, respectively. Each fund is authorized to
issue an unlimited number of shares. The financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Each fund may be
affected by economic and political developments in the state of
Arizona. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies
of the income fund and the money market fund:
SECURITY VALUATION.
INCOME FUND. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Securities for
which quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less
for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized
cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value.
MONEY MARKET FUND. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost
and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any
discount or premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for the fiscal year. The schedules of investments
include information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned. For the money market fund, accretion of discount represents
unrealized gain until realized at the time of a security disposition
or maturity.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions to shareholders from
realized capital gains on investments, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for futures transactions, market discount, and losses
deferred due to futures and excise tax regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and
tax basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.
SHORT-TERM TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the income fund
less than 180 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to
.50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is
retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in
capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the funds may invest
in the Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of Fidelity
Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end
money market fund available only to investment companies and other
accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income by investing in
high-quality, short-term municipal securities of various states and
municipalities. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared
daily and paid monthly from net interest income. Income distributions
earned by the funds are recorded as interest income in the
accompanying financial statements.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may purchase or sell
securities on a delayed delivery basis. Payment and delivery may take
place after the customary settlement period for that security. The
price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities
will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction
is negotiated. The market values of the securities purchased on a
delayed delivery basis are identified as such in each applicable
fund's schedule of investments. Each fund may receive compensation for
interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery security.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS - CONTINUED
With respect to purchase commitments, each fund identifies securities
as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount
of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value
of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform
under the contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The income fund may use futures contracts to manage
its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or
closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the
settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
INCOME FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $10,395,152 and $3,064,786, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $253,988 and $627,217, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all
expenses, except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and
certain exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and
extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at
an annual rate of .55% and .50% of average net assets for the income
fund and money market fund, respectively. The management fee paid to
FMR by each fund is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and
expenses paid by each fund to the non-interested Trustees.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the money
market fund. To offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or
its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from shareholders
which amounted to $767 for the period.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the money market and the income (effective January
1, 1999) funds' investment sub-adviser, FIMM, a wholly owned
subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the management
fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary expense
reimbursements which may be in effect.
MONEY MARKET INSURANCE. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
SEC, the money market fund, along with other money market funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates, have entered into
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES -
CONTINUED
MONEY MARKET INSURANCE -
CONTINUED
insurance agreements with FIDFUNDS Mutual Limited (FIDFUNDS), an
affiliated mutual insurance company, effective January 1, 1999.
FIDFUNDS provides limited coverage for certain loss events including
issuer default as to payment of principal or interest and bankruptcy
or insolvency of a credit enhancement provider. The insurance does not
cover losses resulting from changes in interest rates, ratings
downgrades or other market conditions. The fund may be subject to a
special assessment of up to approximately 2.5 times the fund's annual
gross premium if covered losses exceed certain levels. FMR has borne
the cost of the fund's premium payable to FIDFUNDS.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has entered into arrangements on behalf of certain funds with the
funds' custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a
result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of
each applicable fund's expenses. During the period, the income fund's
and money market fund's expenses were reduced by $2,881 and $1,649,
respectively, under these arrangements.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and Fidelity Union
Street Trust II and the Shareholders of Spartan Arizona Municipal
Income Fund and Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Fund (a fund of Fidelity Union Street
Trust) and Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market Fund (a fund of
Fidelity Union Street Trust II) at August 31, 1999, and the results of
their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial
highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements")
are the responsibility of the funds' management; our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at August 31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

OF SPECIAL NOTE
INTRODUCING FIDELITY'S NEW, REORGANIZED PROSPECTUS
Recently, the SEC issued new disclosure requirements for all mutual
fund prospectuses. While Fidelity could have complied by simply
following the new requirements, we saw a different opportunity. We saw
the chance to create a brand new prospectus: one that is better
organized, easier to use and more informative than ever.
The new format of the Fidelity mutual fund prospectus puts the
information you need to make informed investment decisions right at
your fingertips. In the opening pages, you will find the SEC-mandated
summary that highlights the fund's investment objectives, strategies
and risks. There's also an easy-to-read performance chart and fee
table right up front.
Inside, you will find additional features we've introduced to make the
fund prospectus a more useful tool. In our new Shareholder Information
section, for example, we have provided practical, beneficial
information - from how to buy or sell shares, key contact information,
investment services, ways to set up your account and more - all in one
convenient location.
We invite you to spend a moment and review our new prospectus. It is
designed to help make your investment decision easier, no matter which
of the Fidelity funds you invest in.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
In late August, just days after making what many market observers felt
would be the final interest-rate hike of 1999, Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Alan Greenspan re-ignited fears of further increases, calling
the continued rise of stocks "inexplicable." He also indicated that
stock movements would play a larger role in future monetary policy
deliberations. In response, equity and bond markets retreated from
solid gains earned earlier in the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as
reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had
not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past five years and life of
fund total returns would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
SPARTAN MD MUNICIPAL INCOME -0.15% 33.05% 38.30%
LB Maryland 4 Plus Year 0.43% 36.01% n/a
Municipal Bond
Maryland Municipal Debt Funds -0.96% 29.70% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or since
the fund started on April 22, 1993. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of
your investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to
the performance of the Lehman Brothers Maryland 4 Plus Year Municipal
Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of Maryland
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of four years or
more. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the Maryland municipal debt funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents
a peer group of 37 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999 PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS LIFE OF FUND
SPARTAN MD MUNICIPAL INCOME -0.15% 5.88% 5.23%
LB Maryland 4 Plus Year 0.43% 6.34% n/a
Municipal Bond
Maryland Municipal Debt Funds -0.96% 5.33% n/a
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund on April 30, 1993,
shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by August 31,
1999, the value of the investment would have grown to $13,841 - a
38.41% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how
the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a market value-weighted
index of investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of one year
or more - did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $14,303 - a
43.03% increase.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will
do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return and yield
of a fund that invests in bonds
will vary. That means if you
sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can ride
out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

TOTAL RETURN COMPONENTS include both dividend returns and capital

fund. A capital return reflects both the amount paid by the fund to
shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the fund's
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the fund are reinvested.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period.
If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of
$10.09 over the past one month, $10.35 over the past six months and
$10.47 over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over
these three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula
for all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund,
averaged over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield
characteristics of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It
also helps you compare funds from different companies on an equal
basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a
taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're in
the 41.05% combined effective 1999 federal and state income tax
bracket, but does not reflect the payment of the federal alternative
minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The municipal bond market endured
a variety of tribulations over the past
year. While municipal bonds slightly
trailed the returns of their taxable
bond counterparts, they significantly
outperformed government bonds on
an absolute basis. For the 12-month
period ending August 31, 1999, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index
- - an index of approximately 50,000
investment-grade, fixed-rate,
tax-exempt bonds - returned 0.50%,
lagging the 0.80% one-year return of
the overall taxable-bond market, as
measured by the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index. Meanwhile,
the market proxy for U.S. government
bonds, the Lehman Brothers
Long-Term Government Bond
Index, fell 4.99%. At the outset of
the 12-month period, municipals
were outdistanced by Treasuries,
which benefited from a massive flight
to safety during the global financial
crises of the fall. Munis were also
dragged down by 1998's
near-record issuance, which was
met by relatively subdued demand.
As supply tailed off late last year and
in early 1999, however, municipal bond
performance began to improve.
Unfortunately, a massive sell-off
by institutional investors, combined
with the fears of heightened
inflation and Y2K concerns, quickly
put a damper on municipal bonds.
Also, the Federal Reserve Board's
two subsequent rate hikes in June
and August put further downward
pressure on muni bond prices.

An interview with George Fischer, Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Maryland Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, GEORGE?
A. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 1999, the fund had a
total return of -0.15%. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to
its competitors, the Maryland municipal debt funds average returned
- -0.96% for the same 12-month period, according to Lipper Inc.
Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Maryland 4 Plus Year Municipal Bond
Index - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund invests
- - returned 0.43%.
Q. EVEN THOUGH RISING INTEREST RATES MUTED MUNICIPAL BOND PERFORMANCE
OVER THE PAST YEAR, THE FUND OUTPACED ITS PEERS. WHAT STRATEGIES
HELPED?
A. The fund's focus on high-quality bonds was a plus for performance.
Problems with a few lower-rated Maryland hospital systems and
difficulty experienced by lower-quality resource recovery recycling
facilities put pressure on the lower-quality segment of the municipal
market as a whole. I generally didn't think that lower-quality bonds
offered enough incremental yield to compensate for their added risk.
In addition, the way in which I managed the fund's duration - its
sensitivity to changing interest rates - was a positive contributor to
the fund's outperformance relative to its peers. When interest rates
moved substantially higher during the period, funds with relatively
long durations generally suffered the most. Rather than trying to
predict the direction of interest rates, I manage the fund to have a
duration that approximates that of the municipal market, as measured
by the Lehman Brothers Maryland 4 Plus Year Municipal Bond Index. By
doing so, I avoided the potential underperformance that could have
occurred if the fund was too interest-rate sensitive when interest
rates rose.
Q. WHAT SPECIFIC TYPES OF BONDS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund had a relatively large stake in premium coupon bonds,
which generally held up better than lower coupon bonds. Premiums, as
they are known, carry coupons higher than prevailing interest rates
and are attractive for several reasons. First, they're more likely
than discount bonds - which carry interest rates below prevailing
rates - to be advance refunded, a refinancing-like process that
generally is positive for their prices. Second, premium bonds are
somewhat protected from the unfavorable tax treatment and price
performance that can hurt discount bonds when rates are rising.
Finally, individual investors - who account for a significant portion
of municipal bond demand - tend to shy away from premium coupon bonds
in favor of par bonds - those that carry coupons at prevailing rates.
As a result, I'm often able to buy premiums at attractive prices
relative to comparably rated par bonds with similar maturities.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Yes, there were. Longer-maturity discount bonds proved to be some
of the market's worst performers during the past year, although the
fund had only small holdings in them. In addition to focusing on
premium coupon bonds, I emphasized intermediate bonds set to mature
within seven to 15 years. For bonds with maturities of 15 years or
longer, the extra income for each successive year was not, in my
opinion, attractive given the level of risk inherent in longer-term
bonds.
Q. GEORGE, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. As it always is, the direction of interest rates will be the
primary factor that determines the municipal market's performance.
It's not clear at this point whether the Federal Reserve Board is
finished raising interest rates as it did in June and August, or
whether those rate hikes were just a preview of things to come. But
other factors - namely supply and demand - also will play a role. If
interest rates remain stable or move higher, I would expect the supply
of municipals to taper off as issuers slow down their refinancing and
new issuance activity. A bigger unknown is demand. Even after gaining
some ground on them, municipals remain relatively cheap alternatives
to U.S. Treasuries. To the extent that investors seek out that value,
the more municipals likely will benefit. While longer-maturity and
lower-quality bonds have performed poorly over the past several
months, some may provide an opportunity to pick up attractively
priced, higher-yielding securities. But I plan to be very selective,
keeping the bulk of the fund's investments in high-quality,
intermediate-maturity bonds that I feel offer the best combination of
reward and risk.

GEORGE FISCHER ON Y2K AND
ITS POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON
MUNICIPAL BOND ISSUERS:
"The Y2K bug may pose problems
for some municipal issuers. At this
point, however, it's unclear how
many or to what magnitude
issuers will be affected, if at all.
That's why Fidelity's research
team - in its routine securities
selection process - is looking at
municipal issuers' Y2K
preparedness. We're attempting to
ascertain how vulnerable a
given issuer thinks it is and what
potential fixes it has planned in
the event of problems. How
successful issuers are in
preparing for and dealing with
problems ultimately may affect
their creditworthiness. Y2K is
only one of the many factors I
must consider when determining
whether to buy or sell securities
for the fund."
(solid bullet) General obligation bonds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Union Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The fund may be affected by economic and political
developments in the state of Maryland. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for futures transactions and capital loss carryforwards.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any
taxable gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
SHORT-TERM TRADING (REDEMPTION) FEES. Shares held in the fund less
than 180 days are subject to a short-term trading fee equal to .50% of
the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The fee, which is retained by the
fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or
closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the
settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $15,013,482 and $5,579,739, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $7,377,485 and $8,488,305, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management
& Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses, except the compensation of
the non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives
a fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of .55% of the fund's
average net assets. The management fee paid to FMR by the fund is
reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund
to the non-interested Trustees.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. FMR, on behalf of the fund, has entered into a
sub-advisory agreement (effective January 1, 1999) with Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), a wholly owned subsidiary
of FMR. For its services, FIMM receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has entered into an arrangement on behalf of the fund with the
fund's custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by $29,069 under
this arrangement.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund (a fund of Fidelity Union
Street Trust) at August 31, 1999, and the results of its operations,
the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the
periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which
included confirmation of securities at August 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

OF SPECIAL NOTE
INTRODUCING FIDELITY'S NEW, REORGANIZED PROSPECTUS
Recently, the SEC issued new disclosure requirements for all mutual
fund prospectuses. While Fidelity could have complied by simply
following the new requirements, we saw a different opportunity. We saw
the chance to create a brand new prospectus: one that is better
organized, easier to use and more informative than ever.
The new format of the Fidelity mutual fund prospectus puts the
information you need to make informed investment decisions right at
your fingertips. In the opening pages, you will find the SEC-mandated
summary that highlights the fund's investment objectives, strategies
and risks. There's also an easy-to-read performance chart and fee
table right up front.
Inside, you will find additional features we've introduced to make the
fund prospectus a more useful tool. In our new Shareholder Information
section, for example, we have provided practical, beneficial
information - from how to buy or sell shares, key contact information,
investment services, ways to set up your account and more - all in one
convenient location.
We invite you to spend a moment and review our new prospectus. It is
designed to help make your investment decision easier, no matter which
of the Fidelity funds you invest in.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
In late August, just days after making what many market observers felt
would be the final interest-rate hike of 1999, Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Alan Greenspan re-ignited fears of further increases, calling
the continued rise of stocks "inexplicable." He also indicated that
stock movements would play a larger role in future monetary policy
deliberations. In response, equity and bond markets retreated from
solid gains earned earlier in the month.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you
will be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment
horizon appropriate for saving for a college education, for example,
enables you to weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may
have a higher risk potential, but also has a higher potential rate of
return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment
horizon is two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be
the right choice if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider
moving some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These
funds seek income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). You can also look at the fund's income, as
reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had
not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past five year, and past 10
year total returns would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Debt Funds Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the
Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year Municipal Bond Index - a market
value-weighted index of investment-grade municipal bonds with
maturities between one and five years. To measure how the fund's
performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
short-intermediate municipal debt funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 37 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund on August
31, 1989. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1999, the value of the
investment would have grown to $16,926 - a 69.26% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index - a market value-weighted index of
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of one year or more -
did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $20,306 - a 103.06%
increase.

PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will
do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return and yield
of a fund that invests in bonds
will vary. That means if you
sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can ride
out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the fund's
share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains, if
any, paid by the fund are reinvested.

If you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.99
over the past one month, $10.08 over the past six months and $10.13
over the past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these
three periods. The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for
all bond funds based on the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged
over the past 30 days. This figure shows you the yield characteristics
of the fund's investments at the end of the period. It also helps you
compare funds from different companies on an equal basis. The
tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to earn on a taxable
investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're in the 36%
federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The municipal bond market endured
a variety of tribulations over the past
year. While municipal bonds slightly
trailed the returns of their taxable
bond counterparts, they significantly
outperformed government bonds on
an absolute basis. For the 12-month
period ending August 31, 1999, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index
- - an index of approximately 50,000
investment-grade, fixed-rate,
tax-exempt bonds - returned 0.50%,
lagging the 0.80% one-year return of
the overall taxable-bond market, as
measured by the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index. Meanwhile,
the market proxy for U.S. government
bonds, the Lehman Brothers
Long-Term Government Bond
Index, fell 4.99%. At the outset of
the 12-month period, municipals
were outdistanced by Treasuries,
which benefited from a massive flight
to safety during the global financial
crises of the fall. Munis were also
dragged down by 1998's
near-record issuance, which was
met by relatively subdued demand.
As supply tailed off late last year and
in early 1999, however, municipal bond
performance began to improve.
Unfortunately, a massive sell-off
by institutional investors, combined
with the fears of heightened
inflation and Y2K concerns, quickly
put a damper on municipal bonds.
Also, the Federal Reserve Board's
two subsequent rate hikes in June
and August put further downward
pressure on muni bond prices.

An interview with Norm Lind, Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. Although rising interest rates curtailed the municipal bond
market's returns during the past 12 months, the fund outpaced its
peers. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 1999, the fund
had a total return of 2.44%. To get a sense of how the fund did
relative to its competitors, the short-intermediate municipal debt
funds average returned 1.52% for the same 12-month period, according
to Lipper Inc. Additionally, the Lehman Brothers 1-5 Year Municipal
Bond Index - which tracks the types of securities in which the fund
invests - returned 2.96%.
Q. WHAT FACTORS LED TO THE FUND'S OUTPERFORMANCE COMPARED TO ITS PEERS
DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
A. During the first half of the period, the fund benefited from a
larger-than-average stake in bonds with maturities between five and
seven years. They generally performed better than shorter-term bonds,
meaning that their yields rose less in response to rising interest
rates, and their prices - which move in the opposite direction of
their yields - fell less. By pushing shorter-term yields up more in
percentage terms, investors essentially indicated they were more
worried about higher rates over the near term, but less worried about
higher rates over the long term. At the beginning of 1999, I reversed
course. I sold some of the funds holdings in longer-term bonds to lock
in their relatively strong performance, replacing them with bonds in
the three- to five-year range, which I viewed as being priced more
attractively and offering the best potential for total return. The
repositioning toward intermediate-maturity bonds also helped
performance because they gained ground on their longer-term
counterparts during the past several months.
Q. WHAT WERE THE OTHER POSITIVES FOR THE FUND DURING THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. The fund benefited from its relatively large position in premium
coupon bonds, which make interest payments above prevailing market
rates and trade at prices that are above face - or par - value. As
interest rates rose, premiums outperformed par and discount bonds,
which trade at and below face value, respectively. That's because
their premium gave the bonds DE MINIMIS protection - a tax pitfall
that can affect discount bonds when the bond market is on the decline.
Separately, the fund was helped by its emphasis on high-quality bonds,
since certain lower-quality bonds - namely hospital and industrial
development bonds - came under increased pressure as interest rates
rose.
Q. WHAT WERE THE DISAPPOINTMENTS DURING THE PERIOD?
A. I'd say that the biggest disappointment was my decision to keep a
relatively light weighting in bonds issued in California. As I
mentioned in the report to shareholders six months ago, my reluctance
to add more California bonds stemmed from the fact that I thought
their prices already reflected most of the state's economic good news.
However, continued strong job growth and further economic expansion
fueled higher tax collections and revenues for the state's municipal
issuers, which ultimately translated into continued improvement in
their credit quality.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET AND THE FUND?
A. Supply and demand conditions - which can have a dramatic effect on
the municipal market's performance - appear favorable. In contrast to
last year, there has been a relatively light supply of municipal bonds
issued so far in 1999. In 1998, falling interest rates prompted a wave
of municipal bond refundings as issuers looked to refinance their debt
at lower interest rates. Those refundings made up more than one-third
of the total supply of municipal bonds issued last year. So far this
year, however, refunding issuance has slowed dramatically as interest
rates have risen. Meanwhile, demand has been firm. However, the
direction of interest rates will be the primary factor determining
municipal bond performance and it's unclear whether the Federal
Reserve Board will continue to raise rates as it did in June and
August. Rather than trying to predict the direction of interest rates,
I'll continue to look for attractively priced bonds that I believe can
perform well in relation to other bonds, no matter where interest
rates end up.

NORM LIND ON SUPPLY AND
DEMAND CHARACTERISTICS OF
THE MUNICIPAL MARKET:
"After the direction of interest
rates, supply and demand is
probably the most important
factor determining municipal
bond performance. As a portfolio
manager, I try to take advantage of
seasonal shifts, selling bonds when
supply is light and prices are fairly
advantageous, and buying when
supply is heavy and prices are
relatively cheap. For example,
municipal supply generally slows
down during the summer when
market participants - such as
investment bankers, dealers,
investors and others - go on
vacation, although supply
generally picks up again in the
remaining months of the year.
What's more interesting, in my view,
are demand patterns. In the
short-intermediate portion of the
municipal market, the primary
players are individual investors and
institutions known as `crossover'
buyers, who bounce between
tax-free and taxable bonds in
search of the best values. With the
help of Fidelity's research team, I
look for opportunities to exploit
crossover investor activity, buying
after they've unloaded municipal
bonds and prices are attractive,
and selling when there is strong
crossover demand."

AVERAGE YEARS TO MATURITY IS BASED ON THE AVERAGE TIME REMAINING UNTIL
PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS ARE EXPECTED FROM EACH OF THE FUND'S BONDS,
WEIGHTED BY DOLLAR AMOUNT.
DURATION AS OF AUGUST 31, 1999
6 MONTHS AGO
Years 2.5 2.5
DURATION SHOWS HOW MUCH A BOND FUND'S PRICE FLUCTUATES WITH CHANGES IN
COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH
A FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE ABOUT 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER
FACTORS ALSO CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE.
ACCORDINGLY, A BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THIS
EXAMPLE.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a fund
of Fidelity Union Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue
an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized
matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which
consider market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and
paid monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized
gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for futures transactions and capital loss carryforwards.
The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to
shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and
may affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -
CONTINUED
investments may include temporary book and tax basis differences which
will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable gain remaining at
fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of
trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
basis of identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund may invest in the
Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity
Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of Fidelity
Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end
money market fund available only to investment companies and other
accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income by investing in
high-quality, short-term municipal securities of various states and
municipalities. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared
daily and paid monthly from net interest income. Income distributions
earned by the fund are recorded as interest income in the accompanying
financial statements.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell
securities on a delayed delivery basis. Payment and delivery may take
place after the customary settlement period for that security. The
price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities
will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction
is negotiated. The market values of the securities purchased on a
delayed delivery basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule
of investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone
in the purchase of a delayed delivery security. With respect to
purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in
its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the
commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the
underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under
the contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or
closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the
settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $441,004,000 and $430,720,000, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the
period amounted to $23,266,000 and $23,402,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all
expenses, except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and
certain exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and
extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at
an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net assets. The
management fee paid to FMR by the fund is reduced by an amount equal
to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested
Trustees.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. FMR, on behalf of the fund, has entered into a
sub-advisory agreement(effective January 1, 1999) with FIMM, a wholly
owned subsidiary of FMR. For its services, FIMM receives a fee from
FMR of 50% of the management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior
to any voluntary expense reimbursements which may be in effect.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has entered into arrangements on behalf of the fund with the
fund's custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a
result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of
the fund's expenses. During the period, the fund's expenses were
reduced by $7,000 under these arrangements.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (a fund of Fidelity
Union Street Trust) at August 31, 1999, and the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights
for the periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Income
Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

OF SPECIAL NOTE
INTRODUCING FIDELITY'S NEW, REORGANIZED PROSPECTUS
Recently, the SEC issued new disclosure requirements for all mutual
fund prospectuses. While Fidelity could have complied by simply
following the new requirements, we saw a different opportunity. We saw
the chance to create a brand new prospectus: one that is better
organized, easier to use and more informative than ever.
The new format of the Fidelity mutual fund prospectus puts the
information you need to make informed investment decisions right at
your fingertips. In the opening pages, you will find the SEC-mandated
summary that highlights the fund's investment objectives, strategies
and risks. There's also an easy-to-read performance chart and fee
table right up front.
Inside, you will find additional features we've introduced to make the
fund prospectus a more useful tool. In our new Shareholder Information
section, for example, we have provided practical, beneficial
information - from how to buy or sell shares, key contact information,
investment services, ways to set up your account and more - all in one
convenient location.
We invite you to spend a moment and review our new prospectus. It is
designed to help make your investment decision easier, no matter which
of the Fidelity funds you invest in.
