HOW TO REDEEM SHARES
Effective November 4, 1996, the following policy was effective: The
Fund will deduct a redemption fee equal to .10% of the net asset value of
Fund shares redeemed (including redemptions through the use of the Fund
Exchanges service) less than fifteen days following the issuance of such
shares. The fee will be retained by the Fund and used primarily to offset the
transaction costs that short-term trading imposes on the Fund and its
shareholders. No redemption fee will be charged upon the redemption of shares
through the Fund's Check Redemption Privilege, Automatic Withdrawal Plan or
Dreyfus Auto-Exchange Privilege, or shares redeemed from omnibus accounts.
Furthermore, no redemption fee will be charged upon the redemption of Fund
shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions, nor will
the redemption fee be used to pay fees imposed for various Fund services or
shares. The redemption fee may be waived, modified or discontinued at any
time, or from time to time.
