Dear Mr. Krichmar:

On February 18, 1999, the Board of Trustees of the Fidelity funds listed on the attached Exhibits voted not to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent accountants for such funds listed on Exhibit I effective February 18, 1999 and for those funds listed on Exhibit II effective upon the completion of any audits for their respective fiscal years ended on January 31, 1999 or March 31, 1999. This action was recommended by the funds's Audit Committee on February 18, 1999.

In accordance with the requirements of item 304 of Regulation S-K, please provide us with a letter from your firm addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating your agreement with the following:

1. Effective February 18, 1999, the Board of Trustees of the Fidelity funds specified on Exhibits I and II voted not to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the funds's independent accountants. This action was recommended by the fund's Audit Committee on February 18, 1999.
2. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's reports on the funds's financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended in 1999, 1998 or 1997 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
3. During the funds' two most recent fiscal years ended in 1999, 1998 or 1997, and through May xx, 1999, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on the financial statements for such years.A copy of your letter will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission along with this letter as an exhibit to each fund's next Form N-SAR (in accordance with Sub-Item 77k of Form N-SAR).

   Sincerely,
