1.FINANCIAL    SUMMARY    
The purpose of the table below is to assist you in understanding the
various costs and expenses that an investor in the Fund would bear directly
or indirectly.    This standard format     was developed for use by all
mutual funds to help    investors     make    their     investment
decisions. This expense information should be considered along with other
important information including the Fund's investment objective.
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES
Maximum Sales Charge Imposed on Purchases
(as a percentage of the offering price)  1.50%
Sales Charge Imposed on Reinvested Dividends None
Deferred Sales Charge Imposed on Redemptions None
Redemption Fees None
Exchange Fees None
Shareholder Transaction Expenses represent charges paid when you purchase,
   sell     or exchange shares of the Fund. If you exchange shares or
direct dividends of the Fund into other Fidelity Advisor Funds, a
differential sales change may apply. Lower sales charges may be available
with purchases    of     $1,000,000 or    more     in conjunction with
various programs. See "How to Buy Shares," page .
ESTIMATED ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES (AS A PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE NET ASSETS)
Management Fee   0.   09    %*
12b-1 Fee   0.15%
Other Expenses   0.51%*
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES      0.75    %
   * AFTER REIMBURSEMENT    
Annual operating expenses are based on the Fund's estimated expenses for
its first year of operation   .     Management fees are paid by the Fund to
Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) for managing its
investments and business affairs.        12b-1 fees are paid by the Fund to
Distributors for services and expenses in connection with the distribution
of Fund shares. Long-term shareholders may pay more than the economic
equivalent of the maximum front   -    end sales charge permitted by the
National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) due to 12b-1 payments.
The Fund incurs other expenses for maintaining shareholder records,
furnishing shareholder statements and reports, and    for     other
services.    FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent
that the aggregate operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) are in excess of an
annual rate .75% of average net assets. If reimbursements were not
considered, the Management fees, other expenses (including 12b-1 fees) and
total fund operating expenses would have been estimated to be .41%, .65%
and 1.06%, respectively.     Please refer to the section "Fees   ," page
.    
2.EXAMPLE
You would pay the following    estimated     expenses, including the
maximum        sales charge, on a $1,000 investment in the Fund assuming
(1) a 5% annual return and (2) full redemption at the end of each time
period:
      1 YEAR       3 YEARS      
 
         $23          $39       
 
The above hypothetical example illustrates the    estimated     expenses,
including the maximum 1.50% sales charge, associated with a $1,000
investment over periods of one and three years, based on the   
estimated     expenses    (after reimbursements, if any)     in the table
and an assumed annual return of 5%. THE RETURN OF 5% AND EXPENSES SHOULD
NOT BE CONSIDERED INDICATIONS OF ACTUAL OR EXPECTED FUND PERFORMANCE OR
EXPENSES, BOTH OF WHICH MAY VARY.
3.INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
FIDELITY ADVISOR SHORT-INTERMEDIATE TAX-EXEMPT FUND seeks as high a level
of current income, exempt from federal income tax, as is consistent with
preservation of capital by    investing primarily in municipal securities.
The investment objective of the Fund is fundamental and may only be changed
by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Except as
otherwise noted, the Fund's investment limitations and policies are not
fundamental. Non-fundamental investment limitations and policies may be
changed without shareholder approval.    
   The Fund normally maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of
between two and four years.     Under normal conditions, the Fund will
invest so that 80% or more of its    net        assets     will be
   invested in securities whose interest is exempt from federal income
tax    . The Fund maintains the ability under normal circumstances to
   invest up to     20% of its    net assets in     municipal securities
issued to finance private activities whose interest is a tax preference
item for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax. If you are
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, a portion of your income
may not be exempt from federal income tax. See "Distributions and Taxes" on
page  for further information.
   The yield, return and potential price changes of the Fund depend on the
quality and maturity of the obligations in its portfolio, as well as market
conditions.    
   As is the case with any investment in securities, investment in the Fund
involves certain risks and there can be no assurance that the Fund will
achieve its investment objective.    
4.INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISK   S    
Further information relating to the types of securities in which the Fund
may invest and the investment policies of the Fund in general are set forth
in the Appendix    and in the SAI    . 
The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of
   between two and     four years under normal conditions. Although the
Fund is permitted to hold securities with maturities of more than four
years, its dollar-weighted average maturity is limited to a maximum of four
years.
The Fund normally invests at least 60% of its net assets in securities that
FMR judges to be of equivalent quality to those rated A or better by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's) or Standard & Poor's
Corporation (S&P). The Fund may not invest more than 5% of its net
assets in securities rated below Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P, or in
unrated securities of equivalent quality, and does not currently intend to
purchase securities rated lower than Ba or BB.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a single issuer's
securities. The Fund may invest any portion of its assets in industrial
revenue bonds (IRBs) backed by private issuers, and may invest up to 25% of
its total assets in IRBs related to a single industry. The Fund may also
invest 25% or more of its total assets in municipal securities whose
revenue sources are from similar types of projects, e.g., education,
electric utilities, healthcare, housing, transportation, or water, sewer,
and gas utilities. 
Municipal securities are issued to raise money for various public purposes,
including general purpose financing for state and local governments as well
as financing for specific projects or public facilities. Municipal
securities may be backed by the full taxing power of a municipality or by
the revenues from a specific project or the credit of a private
organization. Some municipal securities are insured by private insurance
companies, while others may be supported by letters of credit furnished by
domestic or foreign banks. FMR monitors the financial condition of parties
(including insurance companies, banks, and corporations) whose
creditworthiness is relied upon in determining the credit quality of
securities the Fund may purchase.
The Fund's investments in municipal securities may include fixed, variable,
or floating rate general obligations and revenue bonds (including municipal
lease obligations and resource recovery bonds); zero coupon and
asset-backed securities; inverse floaters; tax, revenue, or bond
anticipation notes; and tax-exempt commercial paper. The Fund may buy or
sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis (including
refunding contracts), and may purchase restricted and illiquid securities.
The Fund may also buy and sell options and futures contracts. See the
Appendix for further discussion of the Fund's investments.
The Fund may temporarily change its investment focus for defensive
purposes. During periods when, in FMR's opinion, a temporary defensive
posture in the market is appropriate, the Fund may hold cash that is not
earning interest or invest    without limitation     in short-term
municipal obligations and money market instruments, including obligations
whose interest may be federally taxable. Under such circumstances, the Fund
may temporarily invest so that less than 80% of its    net assets will be
invested in securities whose interest is exempt from federal income
tax    . Federally taxable obligations include, but are not limited to,
obligations issued by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, high-quality commercial paper, certificates of deposit,
and repurchase agreements. The Fund does not intend to invest in federally
taxable obligations under normal conditions.
   5.CONSIDERATIONS IN INVESTING IN SHARES OF THE FUND     
An investment in the Fund should not be considered a complete investment
program and may not be appropriate for all investors. Yields on municipal
bonds, and therefore the Fund's yield, depend on factors such as general
market conditions, the maturities of the obligations and the quality of the
issues. Bonds generally are considered to be interest rate sensitive, which
means that their values move inversely to interest rates.
The Fund is designed for individuals in higher tax brackets seeking income
free from federal income tax. By itself, the Fund does not constitute a
balanced investment plan; the Fund stresses tax-exempt income. 
Share price volatility and investment return depend in part on interest
rate changes. The value of fund shares will tend to decrease when interest
rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. Shorter-term obligations
generally offer greater stability and are less sensitive to interest rate
changes, but longer-term bonds generally offer higher yields. The Fund's
share price and yield also depend in part on the quality of its
investments.
Obligations rated investment grade or better (Baa/BBB or higher) generally
are of medium to high quality. Bonds rated Ba/BB have been judged by the
rating agencies to be speculative. Such issues offer only very moderate
protection of interest and principal payments, and are therefore not well
safeguarded during both good and bad times in the future. Uncertainty of
position characterizes bonds in this class. The Fund does not currently
intend to purchase securities that are in payment default or that FMR
believes present substantial risk of payment default. Lower-rated bonds
   (sometimes referred to as "junk bonds")     generally involve greater
risk of loss or price declines because of their uncertain credit standing.
These securities typically have moderate to poor protection of principal
and interest payments and have speculative characteristics. Unrated
obligations may be either investment grade or lower quality, but usually
are not attractive to as many buyers. The Fund relies heavily on FMR's
credit analysis when purchasing unrated or lower-rated bonds.
While lower-rated bonds have traditionally been less sensitive to interest
rate changes than higher-rated investments, as with all bonds, the prices
of lower-rated bonds will be affected by interest rate changes. Economic
changes may affect lower-rated securities differently than other
securities. Lower-rated municipal bonds may be more sensitive to adverse
economic changes (including recession) in specific regions or localities or
among specific types of issuers. During an economic downturn or a prolonged
period of rising interest rates, the ability of issuers of lower-rated debt
to service their payment obligations, meet projected goals, or obtain
additional financing may be impaired. Periods of economic uncertainty and
interest rate changes may cause market price volatility for lower-rated
bonds and corresponding volatility in the Fund's share price.
6.INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund has adopted the following investment limitations   .     The
policies and limitations discussed below, and in the Appendix on page , are
considered at the time of purchase. With the exception of the Fund's
borrowing policy, the sale of portfolio securities is not required in the
event of a subsequent change in circumstances.
   1.  DIVERSIFICATION. The Fund is considered non-diversified. To meet
quarterly federal tax requirements for qualification as a "regulated
investment company," the Fund limits its investments so that: (A) no more
than 25% of its total assets are invested in the securities of a single
issuer, and (B) with respect to at least 50% of its total assets, no more
than 5% of total assets are invested in the securities of a single issuer.
These limitations do not apply to U.S. government securities. The Fund may
invest more than 25% of its total assets in tax-free securities that
finance similar types of projects.    
   2.  BORROWING. (A)     The Fund may borrow money for temporary or
emergency purposes, in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets.
(B) The Fund may borrow money from banks or from other funds advised by
FMR, or by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements. (C) The Fund will not
purchase securities when borrowings exceed 5% of its total assets. 
   3.  LENDING.      The Fund will not lend any security or make any other
loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent
to other parties (but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt
securities or to repurchase agreements). 
Except for the Fund's investment objective, its policy that, under normal
conditions, 80% or more of its income will be exempt from federal income
tax, and investment limitations 2(a) and 3 above, the Fund's policies and
limitations described in this Prospectus are not fundamental and may be
changed without shareholder approval.
7.HOW TO BUY SHARES
Shares are offered continuously to investors who engage an investment
professional for investment advice and may be purchased at the public
offering price (the offering price) next determined after the Fund's
transfer agent receives your order to purchase. State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the Transfer Agent), P.O. Box 8302, Boston, Massachusetts
   02266-8302     provides transfer and dividend paying services for the
Fund. 
   The offering price is equal to the net asset value per share (NAV) plus
a sales charge, which is a variable percentage of the offering price
depending upon the amount of the purchase. The following table shows total
sales charges and concessions to securities dealers and banks (investment
professionals) having Agreements with Distributors.    
You can open an account    with a minimum initial investment of     $2,500
or more by completing and returning an account application. You can make
additional investments of $250 or more. For accounts established    under
the Fidelity Advisor Systematic Investment Program or the Fidelity Advisor
Systematic Exchange Program    , there is a $1,000 initial and $100
   monthly     subsequent investment minimum requirement. FOR
   FURTHER     INFORMATION ON OPENING AN ACCOUNT, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR
INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL OR REFER TO THE    ACCOUNT     APPLICATION.

*    INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS WILL BE COMPENSATED WITH A FEE OF .25% FOR
PURCHASES OF $1 MILLION OR MORE, EXCEPT FOR PURCHASES THROUGH A BANK OR
BANK-AFFILIATED BROKER-DEALER THAT QUALIFY FOR A SALES CHARGE WAIVER
DESCRIBED BELOW. ALL ASSETS ON WHICH THE .25% FEE IS PAID MUST REMAIN
WITHIN THE FIDELITY ADVISER FUNDS (INCLUDING SHARES EXCHANGED INTO DAILY
MONEY FUND AND DAILY TAX-EXEMPT MONEY FUND) FOR A PERIOD OF ONE
UNINTERRUPTED YEAR OR THE INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL WILL BE REQUIRED TO
REFUND ITS FEE TO DISTRIBUTORS.    
It is the responsibility of your investment professional to transmit your
order to    purchase shares to     the Transfer Agent before 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time in order for you to receive that day's share price. The
Transfer Agent must receive payment within five business days after an
order is placed   , o    therwise, the purchase order may be canceled and
you could be held liable for resulting fees and/or losses.
All    of     your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must
be drawn on U.S. banks. The Fund reserves the right to limit the number of
your checks processed at one time. If your check does not clear, the Fund
may cancel your purchase and you could be held liable for any fees and/or
losses incurred. When you purchase directly by check, the Fund can hold the
proceeds of redemptions until the Transfer Agent is reasonably satisfied
that the purchase payment has been collected (which can take up to seven
calendar days). You may avoid a delay in receiving redemption proceeds by
purchasing shares with a certified check. Shares purchased through
investment professionals utilizing an automated order placement and
settlement system that guarantees payment for orders on a specified date,
begin to earn income dividends on that date. Direct purchases and all other
orders begin to earn        dividends on the business day after the Fund
receives payment. 
The Fund and Distributors each reserves the right to suspend the offering
of shares for a period of time and to reject any order for the purchase of
shares, including certain purchases by exchange (see "How to Exchange,"
page ).
MINIMUM ACCOUNT BALANCE. You must maintain an account balance of $1,000. If
your account falls below $1,000 due to redemption, the Transfer Agent may
close it at the NAV next determined        and mail you the proceeds at the
address shown on the Transfer Agent's records. The Transfer Agent will give
you 30 days   '     notice that your account will be closed unless you make
an investment to increase your account balance to the $1,000 minimum. 
SALES CHARGE WAIVERS. Sales charges do not apply to shares of the Fund
purchased:
(1)  by registered representatives, bank trust officers and other employees
(and their immediate families) of investment professionals having
   Agreements     with Distributors; 
(2)  by a current or former Trustee or officer of a Fidelity fund or a
current or retired officer, director or    full-time     employee of FMR
Corp. or its direct or indirect subsidiaries (a "Fidelity Trustee or
employee"), the spouse of a Fidelity Trustee or employee, a Fidelity
Trustee or employee acting as custodian for a minor child, or a person
acting as trustee of a trust for the sole benefit of the minor child of a
Fidelity Trustee or employee; 
(3)  by a charitable organization (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code) investing $100,000 or more; 
(4)  by a charitable remainder trust or life income pool established for
the benefit of a charitable organization (as defined in Section 501(c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code); 
(5)  by trust institutions    (including bank trust departments)    
investing on    their own behalf and on     behalf of their clients;
(6)  in accounts as to which a bank or broker-dealer charges an account
management fee, provided the bank or broker-dealer has a   n     Agreement
with Distributors; 
(7)  as part of an employee benefit plan having more than 200 eligible
employees or a minimum of    $3,000,000 in plan assets invested in Fidelity
Mutual Funds or a minimum of     $1,000,000 invested in Fidelity Advisor
   Funds;     
(8)  in a Fidelity Advisor IRA account purchased with the proceeds of a
distribution from (i) an employee benefit plan having more than 200
eligible employees or a minimum of $3,000,000 in plan assets invested in
Fidelity mutual funds or $1,000,000 invested in Fidelity Advisor mutual
funds, or (ii) an insurance company separate account qualifying under (9)
below or funding annuity contracts purchased by employee benefit plans
which in the aggregate have at least $3,000,000 in plan assets invested in
Fidelity mutual funds;
(9)  by an insurance company separate account used to fund annuity
contracts purchased by employee benefit plans which in the aggregate have
more than 200 eligible employees or $1,000,000 invested in Fidelity Advisor
mutual funds; 
(10) by any state, county, city, or any governmental instrumentality,
department, authority or agency; or
(11) with redemption proceeds from other mutual fund complexes on which the
investor has paid a front-end sales charge only.    (A Sales Charge Waiver
form must accompany these transactions.)    
Sales charge waivers must be qualified through Distributors in advance, and
employee benefit plan investors must meet additional requirements specified
in the SAI. Your investment professional should call Fidelity for more
information.
8.INVESTOR SERVICES
You may initiate many transactions by telephone. Note that the Transfer
Agent will not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized
transactions if it follows reasonable procedures designed to verify the
identity of the caller. The Transfer Agent will request personalized
security codes or other information, and may also record calls. You should
verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you
receive them. If you do not want the ability to redeem and exchange by
telephone, call the Transfer Agent for instructions.
QUANTITY DISCOUNTS. Reduced sales charges are applicable to purchases of
$1,000,000 or more of the Fund alone or in combination with purchases of
shares of other Fidelity Advisor Funds made at any one time (including
Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund shares acquired by
exchange from any Fidelity Advisor Fund). To obtain the reduction of the
sales charge, you or your investment professional must notify the Transfer
Agent at the time of purchase whenever a quantity discount is applicable to
your purchase. Upon such notification, you will receive the lowest
applicable sales charge.
For purposes of qualifying for a reduction in sales charges under the
   Combined Purchase, Rights     of    Accumulation or Letter of Intent    
provisions, the following may qualify as an individual, or a "company" as
defined in Section 2(a)(8) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940
Act): an individual, spouse, and their children under age 21 purchasing for
his, her, or their own account; a trustee, administrator or other fiduciary
purchasing for a single trust estate or single fiduciary account or for a
single or a parent-subsidiary group of "employee benefit plans" (as defined
in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974);
and tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code.
COMBINED PURCHASES. When you invest in the Fund for several accounts at the
same time, you may combine these investments into a single transaction
   to qualify for the quantity discount     if purchased through one
investment professional, and if the total is at least $1,000,000.
RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. Your "Rights of Accumulation" permit reduced sales
charges on any future purchases after you have reached a new breakpoint in
the Fund's sales charge schedule. You can add the value of existing
Fidelity Advisor Fund shares (including Daily Money Fund and Daily
Tax-Exempt Money Fund shares ACQUIRED BY EXCHANGE FROM ANY FIDELITY ADVISOR
FUND), determined at the    current     day's NAV at the close of business,
to the amount of your new purchase valued at the current offering price to
determine your reduced sales charge. 
LETTER OF INTENT. If you anticipate purchasing $1,000,000 or more of the
Fund's shares alone or in combination with shares of other Fidelity Advisor
Funds (excluding Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund) within a
13-month period, you may obtain shares at the same reduced sales charge as
though the total quantity were invested in one lump sum, by filing a
non-binding Letter of Intent (the Letter) within 90 days of the start of
the purchases. Each investment you make after signing the Letter will be
entitled to the sales charge applicable to the total investment indicated
in the Letter. For example, a $2,500 purchase toward a $1,000,000 Letter
would receive the same reduced sales charge as if the $1,000,000 had been
invested at one time. To ensure that the reduced price will be received on
future purchases, you or your investment professional must inform the
Transfer Agent that the Letter is in effect each time shares are purchased.
Neither income dividends nor capital gain distributions taken in additional
shares will apply toward the completion of the Letter.
Your initial investment must be at least 5% of the total amount you plan to
invest. Out of the initial purchase, 5% of the dollar amount specified in
the Letter will be registered in your name and held in escrow. The shares
held in escrow cannot be redeemed or exchanged until the Letter is
satisfied or the additional sales charges have been paid. You will earn
income dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed shares. The
escrow will be released when your purchase of the total amount has been
completed. You are not obligated to complete the Letter.
If you purchase more than the amount specified in the Letter and qualify
for a further sales charge reduction, the sales charge will be adjusted to
reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months. Surplus funds will be
applied to the purchase of additional shares at the then current offering
price applicable to the total purchase.
If you do not complete your purchase under the Letter within the 13-month
period, 30    days'     written notice will be provided for you to pay the
increased sales charges due. Otherwise, sufficient escrowed shares will be
redeemed to pay such charges.
   FIDELITY ADVISOR     SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT    PROGRAM    . You can make
regular investments in the Fund with the Systematic Investment
   Program     by completing the appropriate section of the account
application and attaching a voided personal check. Investments may be made
monthly by automatically deducting $100 or more from your bank checking
account. You may change the amount of your monthly purchase at any time.
There is a $1,000 minimum initial investment requirement for    the
Systematic Investment Program    . Shares will be purchased at the offering
price next determined following receipt of the    investment     by the
Transfer Agent. You may cancel the Systematic Investment    Program     at
any time without payment of a cancellation fee. You will receive a
confirmation from the Transfer Agent for every transaction, and a debit
entry will appear on your bank statement.
9.SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
The Transfer Agent will send you a confirmation after every transaction
that affects the share balance or the account registration. At least twice
a year each shareholder will receive the Fund's financial statements, with
a summary of its portfolio composition and performance. To reduce expenses,
only one copy of most shareholder reports (such as the Fund's Annual
Report) may be mailed to each shareholder address. Please write to the
Transfer Agent or contact your investment professional if you need to have
additional reports sent each time.
The Fund pays for these shareholder communications, but not for special
services that are required by a few shareholders, such as a request for a
historical transcript of an account. You may be required to pay a fee for
such special services. If you are purchasing shares of the Fund through a
program of administrative services offered by an investment professional,
you should read the additional materials pertaining to that program in
conjunction with this Prospectus. Certain features of the Fund, such as the
minimum initial or subsequent investment, may be modified in these
programs, and administrative charges may be imposed for the services
rendered.
   10.HOW TO EXCHANGE    
An exchange is the redemption of shares of one fund and the purchase of
shares of another fund, each at the next determined NAV. The exchange
privilege is a convenient way to sell and buy shares of other Fidelity
Advisor Funds and certain Fidelity money market funds registered in your
state.
To protect the Fund's performance and shareholders, FMR discourages
frequent trading in response to short-term market fluctuations. The Fund
reserves the right to refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if,
in FMR's opinion, the Fund would be unable to invest effectively in
accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise
be affected adversely. Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if the
Fund receives or anticipates simultaneous orders affecting significant
portions of the Fund's assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that
coincides with a "market timing" strategy may be disruptive to the Fund.
Exchange restrictions may be imposed at any time. The Fund may modify or
terminate the exchange privilege.    The exchange limit may be modified for
certain Institutional retirement plans.    
Exchange instructions may be given by you in writing or by telephone
directly to the Transfer Agent or through your investment professional.    
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON ENTERING AN EXCHANGE TRANSACTION, PLEASE CONSULT
YOUR INVESTMENT PROFESSIONAL.    
Before you make an exchange:
1. Read the prospectus of the fund into which you want to exchange. 
2. Shares may be exchanged into other Fidelity Advisor Funds seven calendar
days after purchase. Shares of the Fund held for more than six months will
be exchanged at NAV. If you have held shares of the Fund for less than six
months, you will pay a sales charge equal to the difference between the
sales charge on the Fund you are exchanging into and the sales charge
applicable to Fund shares being exchanged. For example, if you paid the
Fund's full 1.5   0    % sales charge when you purchased your shares, you
will have to pay a sales charge of up to 3.25% when you exchange these
shares into another Fidelity Advisor Fund having a maximum sales charge of
4.75%. After six months, shares may be exchanged at NAV, without additional
sales charges. Exchanges into a Fidelity Advisor Fund from certain Fidelity
money market funds will be processed at the next determined offering price
(unless the shares were acquired by exchange from another Fidelity Advisor
Fund).    A differential sales charge will apply for exchanges of shares of
Fidelity Advisor Short Fixed-Income Fund if held for less than six
months.    
3. You may only exchange between accounts that are registered in the same
name, address, and taxpayer identification number. 
4. You may make four exchanges out of the Fund per calendar year. If you
exceed this limit, your future purchases of (including exchanges into)
Fidelity Advisor Funds may be permanently refused. For purposes of the four
exchange limit, accounts under common ownership or control, including
accounts having the same taxpayer identification number, will be
aggregated.    Systematic exchanges are not subject to this four exchange
limit (see following section).    
5. TAXES: The shares exchanged represent a sale and are taxable. The
Transfer Agent will send you a confirmation of each exchange transaction.
FIDELITY ADVISOR SYSTEMATIC EXCHANGE    PROGRAM    . You can exchange a
specific dollar amount of shares from the Fund into another Fidelity
Advisor Fund on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis under the
following conditions:
1. The account from which the exchanges are to be processed must have a
minimum balance of $10,000.
2. The account into which the exchanges are to be processed must be an
existing account with a minimum balance of $1,000.
3. Both accounts must have identical registrations and taxpayer
identification numbers. The minimum amount that can be exchanged
systematically into the Fund is $100.
4. Systematic exchanges will be processed at the NAV determined on the
transaction date, except that Systematic Exchanges into    a Fidelity
Advisor Fund     from any money market fund will be processed at the
offering price next determined on the transaction date (unless the shares
were acquired by exchange from another Fidelity Advisor Fund). Also, shares
of the Fund held less than six months may be subject to a differential
sales charge (see above).
   11.HOW TO SELL SHARES    
You may sell (redeem) all or a portion of your shares on any day the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open, at the NAV next determined after the
Transfer Agent receives your request to sell. Orders to sell may be placed
by you in writing or by telephone or through your investment professional.
Orders to sell received by the Transfer Agent before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time
will receive that day's share price.
Once your shares are redeemed, the Fund normally will send the proceeds on
the next business day to the address of record. If making immediate payment
could adversely affect the Fund, the Fund may take up to seven days to pay
you. The Fund may withhold redemption proceeds until it is reasonably
satisfied that it has collected investments that were made by check (which
can take up to seven calendar days). 
When the NYSE is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any reason
other than its customary weekend or holiday closings, or under any
emergency circumstances as determined by the SEC to merit such action, the
Fund may suspend redemption or postpone payment dates    for more than
seven days    . The Transfer Agent requires additional documentation to
   sell     shares registered in the name of a corporation, agent or
fiduciary or a surviving joint owner. Call 1-800-221-5207 for specific
requirements.
REDEMPTION REQUESTS BY TELEPHONE: 
   TO RECEIVE A     CHECK        You may sell shares of the Fund having a
value of $100,000 or less from your account by calling the Transfer Agent.
Redemption proceeds must be sent to the address of record listed on the
account, and a change of address must not have occurred within the
preceding 60 days. 
   TO RECEIVE A     WIRE        You may sell shares of the Fund and have
the proceeds wired to a pre-designated bank account. Wires will be sent the
next business day following    the redemption of shares from your
account.    
REDEMPTION REQUESTS IN WRITING. For your protection, if you    sell    
shares of the Fund having a value of more than $100,000, or if you are
sending the proceeds of a redemption of any amount to an address other than
the address of record listed on the account, or if you have requested a
change of address within the preceding 60 days,    or if you wish to have
the proceeds wired to a non-predesignated bank account,     you must send a
letter of instruction signed by all registered owners with signature(s)
guaranteed to the Transfer Agent. A signature guarantee is a widely
recognized way to protect you by guaranteeing the signature on your
request; it may not be provided by a notary public. Signature guarantee(s)
will be accepted from banks, brokers, dealers, municipal securities
dealers, municipal securities brokers, government securities dealers,
government securities brokers, credit unions (if authorized under state
law), national securities exchanges, registered securities associations,
clearing agencies and savings associations.
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE. If you have sold all or part of your Fund shares
you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the redemption
proceeds in the Fund or in any of the other Fidelity Advisor Funds, at the
NAV next determined after receipt of your investment order,    (without a
sales charge)    , provided that such reinvestment is made within 30 days
of redemption. You must reinstate your shares into an account with the same
registration.    This     privilege may be exercised only once by a
shareholder with respect to the Fund   , and certain restrictions may
apply.    
   FIDELITY ADVISOR     SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM. If you own shares of
the Fund worth $10,000 or more, you may periodically have proceed   s    
sent    automatically     from your account to you, to a person named by
you, or to your bank checking account. Your Systematic Withdrawal Program
payments are drawn from share redemptions. If Systematic Withdrawal Program
redemptions exceed    distributions     earned on your shares, your account
eventually may be exhausted. Since a sales charge is applied on new shares
you buy, it is to your disadvantage to buy shares while also making
systematic redemptions.    You may obtain additional information about the
Systematic Withdrawal Program by contacting your investment professional.
    
CHECKWRITING SERVICE. The Fund offers a checkwriting service ($500
minimum). Refer to the    account        a    pplication or the SAI and
complete the attached signature card. Upon receipt of the properly
completed account application and signature card, the Fund will provide
checks drawn on the Transfer Agent. If you redeem by check from the Fund
and the amount of the check is greater than the value of your account, your
check will be returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges. 
12.DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you fill out your account application, you can choose from four
different Distribution Options:
A.  REINVESTMENT OPTION. Dividends and capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. If you do not
indicate a choice on your    account     application, you will be assigned
this option.
B.  INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Capital gain distributions will be automatically
reinvested but a check will be sent for each dividend distribution. 
C. CASH OPTION. A check will be sent for each dividend and capital gain
distributions.
D.  DIRECTED DIVIDENDS    PROGRAM    . Dividends and capital gain
distributions will be automatically invested in another identically
registered Fidelity Advisor Fund. 
You may change your Distribution Option at any time by notifying the
Transfer Agent in writing. Distribution checks    for the Fund     will be
mailed no later than seven days after the last day of the month   , except
for distribution checks from a December ex-dividend date which may take
slightly longer    . On the day the Fund goes ex-dividend, the amount of
the distribution is deducted from its share price. Reinvestment of
distributions will be made at that day's NAV.    If you select option B or
C and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks
remain uncashed for six months your distribution checks will be reinvested
in your account at the then current NAV, and your election may be converted
to the reinvestment option.    
13.DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. Income dividends are declared to your account daily and paid
monthly. The Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment
income and capital gains to shareholders each year. Any net capital gains
earned by the Fund normally are distributed in        December.
       CAPITAL GAINS.    Gains on the sale of tax-free bonds results in a
taxable distribution. Short-term capital gains and a portion of the gain on
bonds purchased at a discount are taxed as dividends. You may realize a
capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange shares. For most types of
accounts, the Fund will report the proceeds of your redemptions to you and
the IRS annually. However, because the tax treatment also depends on your
purchase price and your personal tax position, YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR REGULAR
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS to use in determining your tax.    
       "BUYING A DIVIDEND."    On the record date for a distribution from
the Fund, the Fund's share price is reduced by the amount of the
distribution. If you buy shares just before the record date (buying a
dividend), you will pay the full offering price for the shares and then
receive a portion of the price back as a taxable distribution.    
FEDERAL TAXES. Federally tax-free interest earned by the Fund is federally
tax-free when distributed to you as income dividends. If the Fund earned
taxable income from any of its investments, it would be distributed as a
taxable dividend.
The Fund may invest in municipal obligations whose interest is subject to
the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals (AMT bonds). To the
extent that the Fund invests in AMT bonds, individuals who are subject to
the AMT will be required to report a portion of the Fund's dividends as a
"tax preference item" in determining their federal tax.
Distributions from the Fund's short-term capital gains and a portion of the
gain on bonds purchased at a discount after    April 30,     1993, are
federally taxable as dividends, and long-term capital gain distributions
are federally taxable as long-term capital gains.    Distributions     are
taxable when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them
in additional shares, except that distributions declared in December and
paid in January are taxable as if paid on December 31. The Fund will send
you a tax statement by January 31 showing the tax status of the
distributions you received in the past year   . A copy     will    be
filed     with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. In addition to federal taxes, you may be subject to
state or local taxes on your investment, depending on the laws in your
area. Because some states exempt their own municipal obligations from tax,
you will receive tax information each year showing how the Fund allocated
its investments by state.
When you sign your account application, you will be asked to certify that
your social security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require the Fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
14.FEES
MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICES. For managing its investments and business
affairs, the Fund pays a monthly fee to FMR,    based on a basic fee rate
which is     the sum of two components:
1. A group fee rate based on the monthly average net assets of all of the
mutual funds advised by FMR.    T    his rate cannot rise above .37% and it
drops (to as low as a marginal rate of .   1325    %) as total assets in
all these funds rise. The effective group fee rate for the month of
December, 1993 was    .1325    %.
2.  An individual fund fee rate of .25%.
One-twelfth of the annual management fee rate is applied to the Fund's net
assets averaged over the most recent month, resulting in a dollar amount
which is the management fee for that month. 
   FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the Fund for expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets. FMR retains
the ability to be repaid by the Fund for these expense reimbursements in
the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the
fiscal year. Fee reimbursements by FMR will increase the Fund's yield and
total return, and repayment by the Fund will lower its yield and total
return. FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse expenses of the Fund to the
extent that total expenses exceed .75% of the Fund's average net
assets.    
   United Missouri Bank, N.A. (United Missouri)     acts as the Fund's
custodian, transfer and pricing and bookkeeping agent. United Missouri has
a sub-arrangement with the Transfer Agent for transfer agent services and a
sub-arrangement with Fidelity Service Co. (Service) for pricing and
bookkeeping services. Service is an affiliate of FMR and is located at 82
Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. The Transfer Agent is paid
transfer agent fees based on the type, size and number of accounts in the
Fund and the number of monetary transactions made by shareholders. The fees
for pricing and bookkeeping services are based on the Fund's average net
assets, but must fall within a range of $45,000 to $750,000 per year.
The Transfer Agent has delegated certain transfer, dividend paying and
shareholder services to Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, an
affiliate of FMR. The Transfer Agent reallows to FIIOC a portion of its fee
for accounts for which FIIOC provides limited services, or its full fee for
accounts that FIIOC maintains on its behalf.
   The Fund pay the Transfer Agent fees based on the type, size and number
of accounts in the Fund and the number of monetary transactions made by
shareholders. The fees for pricing and bookkeeping services are based on
the Fund's average net assets, but must fall within a range of $45,000 to
$750,000 per year.    
   Fidelity Service Co. (Service), 82 Devonshire Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02109, an affiliate of FMR, calculates the Fund's daily share
price, and maintains its general accounting records. Service also
administers the Fund's securities lending program.    
The Fund's operating expenses include custodial, legal and accounting fees,
charges to register    the Trust     or the Fund with federal and state
regulatory authorities and other miscellaneous expenses. 
1DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. The    Board of     Trustees of the Trust
have adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan) on behalf of the
Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under t   he 1940 Act     (the Rule). The Rule
provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or
indirectly in financing any activity that is intended primarily to result
in the sale of shares of the Fund except pursuant to    the     plan
adopted by the Fund under the Rule. The Board of Trustees has adopted the
Plan to allow the Fund and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be
considered to constitute direct or indirect payment by the Fund of
distribution expenses.
Under the Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay Distributors a monthly
distribution fee as compensation for its services and expenses in
connection with the distribution of shares of the Fund. The Fund pays
Distributors a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to .40% (or such
lesser amount as the Trustees may, from time to time, determine) of the
Fund's average net assets determined as of the close of business on each
day throughout the month. Currently, the Trustees have approved an annual
rate of .15% of the Fund's average net assets. This fee may be increased
only when, in the opinion of the Trustees, it is in the best interest of
the Fund's shareholders to do so. This distribution fee is paid by the
Fund, not by individual accounts.
All or a portion of the distribution fee may be paid by Distributors to
investment professionals as compensation for selling shares of the Fund and
providing ongoing sales support services or for shareholder support
services. The distribution fee is    a Fund expense     in addition to the
management fee and the Fund's other expenses. Such expenses will reduce the
Fund's net investment income, yield and total return.
The Plan also provides that through Distributors, FMR may make payments
from its management fee or other resources to investment professionals in
connection with the distribution of Fund shares. Investment professionals
will be compensated at the rate of .25% for purchases of $1 million or more
   except for purchases through a bank or bank-affiliated broker-dealer
that qualify for a Sales Charge Waiver described on pages 4 and 5. Assets
on which the .25% fee is paid must remain within the Fidelity Advisor Funds
(including shares exchanged into Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt
Money Fund) for a period of one year or the investment professional will
return the amount of the fee collected to Distributors.    
   The NASD has approved amendments, which will subject asset-based sales
charges to its maximum sales charge rule. Fees paid pursuant to the Fund's
Distribution and Service Plan are limited by the restrictions imposed by
the NASD rule.    
   D    istributors may pay all or a portion of the applicable sales charge
and distribution and service fee to investment professionals who sell
shares of the Fund. Investment professionals who provide enhanced inquiry,
order entry and sales facilities in connection with transactions in Fund
shares by their clients may receive an administrative fee up to the maximum
applicable sales charge described in "Sales Charges and Investment
Professional Concessions," on page . In addition, Distributors may, at its
expense, provide promotional incentives such as sales contests and trips to
investment professionals who support the sale of shares of the Fund. In
some instances, these incentives may be offered only to certain types of
investment professionals, such as bank-affiliated or non-bank affiliated
broker-dealers, or to investment professionals whose representatives
provide services in connection with the sale or expected sale of
significant amounts of shares.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state chartered or
supervised banks from engaging in the business of underwriting, selling or
distributing securities. Although the scope of this prohibition under the
Glass-Steagall Act has not been fully defined, in Distributors' opinion it
should not prohibit banks from being paid for shareholder servicing and
recordkeeping. If, because of changes in law or regulation, or because of
new interpretations of existing law, a bank or the Fund were prevented from
continuing these arrangements, it is expected that the Board would make
other arrangements for these services and that shareholders would not
suffer adverse financial consequences. In addition, state securities laws
on this issue may differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed
herein, and banks and other financial institutions may be required to
register as dealers pursuant to state law.
15.VALUATION
The Fund's shares are valued at    NAV. NAV     is    determined     by
adding the value of all security holdings and other assets of the Fund,
deducting liabilities and    then     dividing the result by the
   proportional     number of shares of the Fund outstanding. 
   NAV normally is calculated as of the close of business of the NYSE
(normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Fund is open for business and NAV is
calculated each day the NYSE is open for trading. Fund securities and other
assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations furnished by
pricing services, or if quotations are not available, by a method that the
Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value.    
16.PERFORMANCE
The Fund's performance may be quoted in advertising in terms of yield and
total return. All performance information is historical and is not intended
to indicate future performance. Share price, yield and total return
fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors, and the
   value of the     Fund's shares when    sold     may be worth more or
less than their original cost. Excluding the Fund's 1.50% sales charge from
a performance calculation produces a higher return figure.
   TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in the Fund over a
given period assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if the Fund's performance had been constant over the entire period. Average
annual total returns tend to smooth out variations in performance and are
not the same as actual year-by-year results. Average annual and cumulative
total returns usually will include the effect of paying the Fund's maximum
sales charge. When the Fund quotes an average annual total return covering
a period of less than one year, the calculation assumes the performance
will remain constant for the rest of the year. Since this may or may not
occur, these average annual total returns should be viewed as hypothetical
returns rather than actual performance.    
   The Fund may also quote performance in terms of yield.     Yield refers
to the income generated by a investment in the Fund over a given period of
time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. Yields are calculated
according to accounting methods that are standardized for all stock and
bond funds.    Because yield calculation methods differ from the methods
used for other accounting purposes, the Fund's yield may not equal, the
income paid to your account or the income reported in the Fund's financial
statements.     The Fund may quote tAX-EQUIVALENT YIELDS, which show the
taxable yields an investor would have to earn after taxes to equal the
Fund's after tax yield. A tax-equivalent yield is calculated by dividing
the Fund's yield by the result of one minus a stated federal tax rate. In
calculating yield, the Fund may from time to time use a security's coupon
rate instead of its yield to maturity in order to reflect the risk premium
of that security. This practice will have the effect of reducing the Fund's
yield. The Fund may also quote DISTRIBUTION RATE, which reflects the Fund's
income dividends to its shareholders, divided by the Fund's offering price
(including the maximum sales charge) for each day in a given period. Other
illustrations of performance may show moving averages over specific
periods.
   For additional performance information, please contact your investment
professional or Distributors for a free SAI.    
17.PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Fund's    portfolio     securities generally are traded in the
over-the-counter market through broker-dealers. A broker-dealer is a
securities firm or bank which makes a market for securities by offering to
buy at one price and sell at a slightly higher price. The difference   
    is known as a spread. Since FMR trades a large number of securities,
including those of Fidelity's other funds, broker-dealers are willing to
work with the funds on a more favorable spread than would be possible for
most individual investors   .     The Fund will pay commissions in
connection with transactions in futures contracts and options.
The Fund has authorized FMR to allocate transactions to some broker-dealers
who help distribute the Fund's shares or shares of Fidelity's other funds,
and on an agency basis to an affiliate, Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc.
(FBSI). FMR will make such allocations if commissions are comparable to
those charged by non-affiliated qualified broker-dealers for similar
services.
   FMR may also allocate brokerage transactions to the Fund's custodian,
acting as a broker-dealer, or other broker-dealers, so long as transaction
quality is comparable to that of other qualified broker-dealers, where the
broker-dealer will allocate a portion of the commissions paid toward
payment of the Fund's expenses. These expenses currently include transfer
agent fees and custodian fees.    
Higher commissions may be paid to firms that provide research services to
the extent permitted by law. FMR also is authorized to allocate brokerage
transactions to FBSI in order to secure from FBSI research services
produced by third party, independent entities. FMR may use this research
information in managing the Fund's assets, as well as the assets of other
clients.
   FMR may engage in short-term trading when consistent with its investment
objective.     Also, a security may be sold and another of comparable
quality simultaneously purchased to take advantage of what FMR believes to
be a temporary disparity in the normal yield relationship of the two
securities. The frequency of portfolio transactions - the        turnover
rate - will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions   . The
Fund's annualized portfolio turnover rate is not expected to exceed 75% for
its first fiscal period ending November 30, 1994.    
18.THE    TRUST     AND THE FIDELITY ORGANIZATION
Fidelity Advisor Series VI is an open-end, management investment company.
   The Trust was     established as a Massachusetts business trust on June
1, 1983   .     The Trust's Board of Trustees supervises Fund activities
and reviews the Fund's contractual arrangements with companies that provide
the Fund with services. The Fund is not required to hold annual shareholder
meetings, although special meetings may be called for the Fund or the Trust
as a whole for purposes such as electing or removing Trustees, changing
fundamental investment policies or limitations or approving a management
contract or plan of distribution. As a shareholder, you receive one vote
for each share and fractional votes for fractional shares of the Fund you
own.        
Fidelity Investments is one of the largest investment management
organizations in the U.S. and has its principal business address at 82
Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. It includes a number of
different companies that provide a variety of financial services and
products. The Trust employs various Fidelity companies to perform certain
activities required to operate the Fund.
Fidelity Management & Research Company is the original Fidelity
company, founded in 1946. It provides a number of mutual funds and other
clients with investment research and portfolio management services. It
maintains a large staff of experienced investment personnel and a full
complement of related support facilities. As of    December 31, 1993    ,
FMR advised funds having approximately    15     million shareholder
accounts with a total value of more than $   225     billion. Fidelity
Distributors Corporation distributes shares for the Fidelity funds.
FMR Corp. is the parent company for the Fidelity companies. Through
ownership of voting common stock, Edward C. Johnson 3d, President and a
Trustee of the Trust, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the
benefit of Johnson family members form a controlling group with respect to
FMR Corp.
   David Murphy, Portfolio Manager of the Advisor Short-Intermediate
Tax-Exempt Fund, also manages Limited Term Municipals, New York Tax-Free
Insured, Spartan Intermediate Municipal and Spartan New Jersey Municipal
High Yield. Before joining Fidelity in 1989, he managed municipal bond
funds at Scudder, Stevens & Clark.    
19.APPENDIX
The following paragraphs provide a brief description of securities in which
the Fund may invest and transactions it may make. The Fund is not limited
by this discussion, however, and may purchase other types of securities and
enter into other types of transactions if they are consistent with the
Fund's investment objective and policies.
   ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES. The Fund may purchase units of beneficial
interest in pools of purchase contracts, financing leases, and sales
agreements entered into by municipalities. These municipal obligations may
be created when a municipality enters into an installment purchase contract
or lease with a vendor and may be secured by the assets purchased or leased
by the municipality. However, except in very limited circumstances, there
will be no recourse against the vendor if the municipality stops making
payments. The market for tax-exempt asset-backed securities is still
relatively new. These obligations are likely to involve unscheduled
prepayments of principal.    
   Variable and floating rate instruments, including certain participation
interests in municipal obligations, have interest rate adjustment formulas
that help to stabilize their market values. Many variable or floating rate
instruments also carry demand features that permit the Fund to sell them at
par value plus accrued interest on short notice.    
   DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The Fund may buy and sell securities on a
when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, with payment and delivery taking
place at a future date. The market value of securities purchased in this
way may change before the delivery date, which could increase fluctuations
in the Fund's yield. Ordinarily, the Fund will not earn interest on the
securities purchased until they are delivered.    
   A DEMAND FEATURE is a put that entitles the security holder to repayment
of the principal amount of the underlying security on no more than 30 days'
notice at any time or at specified intervals. A STANDBY COMMITMENT is a put
that entitles the security holder to same-day settlement at amortized cost
plus accrued interest.    
   Issuers or financial intermediaries who provide demand features or
standby commitments often support their ability to buy securities on demand
by obtaining LETTERS OF CREDIT (LOCS) or other guarantees from domestic or
foreign banks. LOCs also may be used as credit supports for other types of
municipal instruments. FMR may rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit
in determining whether to purchase an instrument supported by an LOC. In
evaluating a foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate
public information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be
subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency
controls, or other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's
ability to honor its credit commitment.    
   ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in
illiquid investments. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR
determines the liquidity of the Fund's investments. The absence of a
trading market can make it difficult to ascertain a market value for
illiquid investments. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve
time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or
impossible for the Fund to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.    
   INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. The Fund has received permission from the
SEC to lend money to and borrow money from other funds advised by FMR or
its affiliates, but it will participate in the interfund borrowing program
only as a borrower. Interfund loans normally will extend overnight, but can
have a maximum duration of seven days. The Fund will borrow through the
program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank
loans. The Fund will not borrow through the program if, after doing so,
total outstanding borrowings would exceed 15% of total assets. Loans may be
called on one day's notice, and the Fund may have to borrow from a bank at
a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.    
   INVERSE FLOATERS are instruments whose interest rates bear an inverse
relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an
index. Changes in the interest rate on the other security or index
inversely affect the residual interest rate paid on the inverse floater,
with the result that the inverse floater's price will be considerably more
volatile than that of a fixed-rate bond.     
   MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are issued by a state or local government or
authority to acquire land and a wide variety of equipment and facilities.
These obligations typically are not fully backed by the municipality's
credit, and their interest may become taxable if the lease is assigned. If
funds are not appropriated for the following year's lease payments, a lease
may terminate, with the possibility of default on the lease obligation and
significant loss to the Fund. Certificates of Participation in municipal
lease obligations or installment sales contracts entitle the holder to a
proportionate interest in the lease-purchase payments made.    
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES include GENERAL OBLIGATION SECURITIES, which are
backed by the full taxing power of a municipality, and REVENUE SECURITIES,
which are backed by the revenues of a specific tax, project, or facility.
INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS are a type of revenue bond backed by the credit
and security of a private issuer and may involve greater risk. Private
activity municipal securities, which may be subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax, include securities issued to finance housing
projects, student loans, and privately owned solid waste disposal and water
and sewage treatment facilities.
   OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Fund may buy and sell options and
futures contracts to manage its exposure to changing interest rates and
security prices. Some options and futures strategies, including selling
futures, buying puts, and writing calls, tend to hedge the Fund's
investments against price fluctuations. Other strategies, including buying
futures, writing puts, and buying calls, tend to increase market exposure.
Options and futures may be combined with each other in order to adjust the
risk and return characteristics of the overall strategy. The Fund may
invest in options and futures based on any type of security or index,
including options not traded on exchanges.    
   Options and futures can be volatile investments, and involve certain
risks. If FMR applies a hedge at an inappropriate time or judges interest
rates incorrectly, options and futures strategies may lower the Fund's
return. The Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its options
and futures positions were poorly correlated with its other investments, or
if it could not close out its positions because of an illiquid secondary
market. Options and futures do not pay interest, but may produce taxable
capital gains.    
   The Fund will not hedge more than 25% of its total assets by selling
futures, buying puts, and writing calls under normal conditions. In
addition, the Fund will not buy futures or write puts whose underlying
value exceeds 25% of its total assets, and will not buy calls with a value
exceeding 5% of its total assets.    
   REFUNDING CONTRACTS. The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding
indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and the Fund
to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a
settlement date that may be several months or several years in the
future.    
   RESOURCE RECOVERY BONDS are a type of revenue bond issued to build
facilities such as solid waste incinerators or waste-to-energy plants.
Typically, a private corporation will be involved, at least during the
construction phase, and the revenue stream will be secured by fees or rents
paid by municipalities for use of the facilities. The viability of a
resource recovery project, environmental protection regulations, and
project operator tax incentives may affect the value and credit quality of
resource recovery bonds.    
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Fund may purchase securities which cannot be
sold to the public without registration under the Securities Act of 1933
(restricted securities). Unless registered for sale, these securities can
only be sold in privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to an
exemption from registration.
   TAX AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES are issued by municipalities in
expectation of future tax or other revenues, and are payable from those
specific taxes or revenues. Bond anticipation notes normally provide
interim financing in advance of an issue of bonds or notes, the proceeds of
which are used to repay the anticipation notes. Tax-exempt commercial paper
is issued by municipalities to help finance short-term capital or operating
needs.    
   ZERO COUPON BONDS. Zero coupon bonds do not make regular interest
payments; instead, they are sold at a deep discount from their face value
and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds
do not pay current income, their prices can be very volatile when interest
rates change. In calculating its daily dividend, the Fund takes into
account as income a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's
purchase price and its face value.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the
Prospectus.  Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or
limitation states a maximum percentage of the Fund's assets that may be
invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding
quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation shall be
determined immediately after and as a result of the Fund's acquisition of
such security or other asset.  Accordingly, any subsequent change in
values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when
determining whether the investment complies with the Fund's investment
policies and limitations.
The Fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations may not be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Fund. 
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS SET FORTH
IN THEIR ENTIRETY.  THE FUND MAY NOT:
(1) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(2) borrow money, except that the Fund may borrow money for temporary or
emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not
exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less
liabilities (other than borrowings).  Any borrowings that come to exceed
this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and
holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(3) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
Fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(4) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S.
territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political
subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the
Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose
principal business activities are in the same industry;
(5) purchase or sell real estate, unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund
from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
securities of companies engaged in the real estate business;
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent
the Fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from
investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical
commodities);
(7) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties (but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements); or
(8) invest in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development
programs.
THE FOLLOWING INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTAL AND MAY BE CHANGED
WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) To meet federal tax requirements for qualification as a "regulated
investment company," the Fund limits its investments so that at the close
of each quarter of its taxable year:  (a) with regard to at least 50% of
total assets, no more than 5% of total assets are invested in the
securities of a single issuer, and (b) no more than 25% of total assets are
invested in the securities of a single issuer.  Limitations (a) and (b) do
not apply to "Government securities" as defined for federal tax purposes.
(ii) The Fund does not currently intend to sell securities short.
(iii) The Fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin,
except that the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary
for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in
connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall
not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The Fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered
investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as
investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with
any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for
purposes of fundamental investment limitation (   2    )).  The Fund will
not purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding.  The Fund will not borrow from other funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings
immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the Fund's total
assets.
(v) The Fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities
that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(vi) The Fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements
or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt
securities.
(vii) The Fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of
other investment companies, except in the open market where no commission
except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies.  Limitations (a)
and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of a reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(viii) The Fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer if those officers and Trustees of the Trust and those officers and
directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.
For purposes of limitations (1), (4), and (i), FMR identifies the issuer of
a security depending on its terms and conditions.  In identifying the
issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of
interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the
way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are
separated from those of other political entities; and whether a
governmental body is guaranteeing the security.
For the Fund's limitations on futures and options transactions, see the
section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
beginning on page 6.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS.  Pursuant to exemptive orders issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Fund may engage in
transactions with banks that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated
persons" of the Fund under the 1940 Act.  Such transactions may be entered
into only pursuant to procedures established and periodically reviewed by
the Board of Trustees.  These transactions may include repurchase
agreements with custodian banks; purchases, as principal, of short-term
obligations of and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks
(measured by deposits); transactions in municipal securities; and
transactions in U.S. government securities with affiliated banks that are
primary dealers in these securities.
FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.  The Fund does not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company.  The Fund, however,
may exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate its views on
important matters of policy to management, the board of directors, and
other shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such matters could
have a significant effect on the value of the Fund's investment in the
company.  The activities that the Fund may engage in, either individually
or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or
opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business
activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking
changes in company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or
reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; or supporting or
opposing third-party takeover efforts.  This area of corporate activity is
increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that the Fund could be
involved in lawsuits related to such activities.  FMR will monitor such
activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of
litigation against the Fund and the risk of actual liability if the Fund is
involved in litigation.  No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation
against the Fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS.  The Fund may buy and sell securities on a
delayed-delivery or when-issued basis.  These transactions involve a
commitment by the Fund to purchase or sell specific securities at a
predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place after
the customary settlement period for that type of security (and more than
seven days in the future).  Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser
until the security is delivered.  The Fund may receive fees for entering
into delayed-delivery transactions.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations.  Because the Fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the Fund's other investments.  If the Fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage.  When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations.  When the Fund has sold a security on a
delayed-delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in further gains or
losses with respect to the security.  If the other party to a
delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities,
the Fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer
a loss.
The Fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
REFUNDING CONTRACTS.  The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
basis in connection with the refinancing of an issuer's outstanding
indebtedness. Refunding contracts require the issuer to sell and the Fund
to buy refunded municipal obligations at a stated price and yield on a
settlement date that may be several months or several years in the future.
The Fund generally will not be obligated to pay the full purchase price if
it fails to perform under a refunding contract. Instead, refunding
contracts generally provide for payment of liquidated damages to the issuer
(currently 15-20% of the purchase price). The Fund may secure its
obligations under a refunding contract by depositing collateral or a letter
of credit equal to the liquidated damages provisions of the refunding
contract. When required by SEC guidelines, the Fund will place liquid
assets in a segregated custodial account equal in amount to its obligations
under refunding contracts.
INVERSE FLOATERS are instruments whose interest rates bear an inverse
relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an
index. Changes in the interest rate on the other security or index
inversely affect the residual interest rate paid on the inverse floater,
with the result that the inverse floater's price will be considerably more
volatile than that of a fixed-rate bond. For example, a municipal issuer
may decide to issue two variable-rate instruments instead of a single
long-term, fixed-rate bond. The interest rate on one instrument reflects
short-term interest rates, while the interest rate on the other instrument
(the inverse floater) reflects the approximate rate the issuer would have
paid on a fixed-rate bond, multiplied by two, minus the interest rate paid
on the short-term instrument. Depending on market availability, the two
portions may be recombined to form a fixed-rate municipal bond. The market
for inverse floaters is relatively new.
VARIABLE OR FLOATING RATE OBLIGATIONS, including certain participation
interests in municipal instruments, have interest rate adjustment formulas
that help stabilize their market values. Many variable and floating rate
instruments also carry demand features that permit the Fund to sell them at
par value plus accrued interest on short notice. 
In many instances bonds and participation interests have tender options or
demand features that permit the Fund to tender (or put) the bonds to an
institution at periodic intervals and to receive the principal amount
thereof. The Fund considers variable rate instruments structured in this
way (Participating VRDOs) to be essentially equivalent to other VRDOs it
purchases. The IRS has not ruled whether the interest on Participating
VRDOs is tax-exempt and, accordingly, the Fund intends to purchase these
instruments based on opinions of bond counsel. The Fund may also invest in
fixed-rate bonds that are subject to third party puts and in participation
interests in such bonds held by a bank in trust or otherwise.
TENDER OPTION BONDS are created by coupling an intermediate- or long-term,
tax-exempt bond (generally held pursuant to a custodial arrangement) with a
tender agreement that gives the holder the option to tender the bond at its
face value. As consideration for providing the tender option, the sponsor
(usually a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial institution) receives
periodic fees equal to the difference between the bond's fixed coupon rate
and the rate (determined by a remarketing or similar agent) that would
cause the bond, coupled with the tender option, to trade at par on the date
of such determination. After payment of the tender option fee, the Fund
effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at the prevailing
short-term tax-exempt rate. In selecting tender option bonds for the Fund,
FMR will consider the creditworthiness of the issuer of the underlying
bond, the custodian, and the third party provider of the tender option. In
certain instances, a sponsor may terminate a tender option if, for example,
the issuer of the underlying bond defaults on interest payments.
ZERO COUPON BONDS do not make regular interest payments. Instead, they are
sold at a deep discount from their face value and are redeemed at face
value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current
income, their prices can be very volatile when interest rates change. In
calculating its daily dividend, the Fund takes into account as income a
portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and
its face value.
STANDBY COMMITMENTS are puts that entitle holders to same-day settlement at
an exercise price equal to the amortized cost of the underlying security
plus accrued interest, if any, at the time of exercise. The Fund may
acquire standby commitments to enhance the liquidity of portfolio
securities. 
Ordinarily the Fund will not transfer a standby commitment to a third
party, although it could sell the underlying municipal security to a third
party at any time. The Fund may purchase standby commitments separate from
or in conjunction with the purchase of securities subject to such
commitments. In the latter case, the Fund would pay a higher price for the
securities acquired, thus reducing their yield to maturity.
Issuers or financial intermediaries may obtain letters of credit or other
guarantees to support their ability to buy securities on demand. FMR may
rely upon its evaluation of a bank's credit in determining whether to
support an instrument supported by a letter of credit. In evaluating a
foreign bank's credit, FMR will consider whether adequate public
information about the bank is available and whether the bank may be subject
to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or
other governmental restrictions that might affect the bank's ability to
honor its credit commitment.
Standby commitments are subject to certain risks, including the ability of
issuers of standby commitments to pay for securities at the time the
commitments are exercised; the fact that standby commitments are not
marketable by the Fund; and the possibility that the maturities of the
underlying securities may be different from those of the commitments. 
MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in
municipal leases and participation interests therein. These obligations,
which may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase, or a
conditional sale contract, are issued by state and local governments and
authorities to acquire land and a wide variety of equipment and facilities.
Generally, the Fund will not hold such obligations directly as a lessor of
the property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal
obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest gives
the Fund a specified, undivided interest in the obligation in proportion to
its purchased interest in the total amount of the obligation.
Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with
general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set
forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt.
These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale
requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts
(which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the
governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to
acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and
statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts
include non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer
has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract
unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate
legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation
clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations. 
FEDERALLY TAXABLE OBLIGATIONS.  The Fund does not intend to invest in
securities whose interest is federally taxable; however, from time to time,
the Fund may invest a portion of its assets on a temporary basis in
fixed-income obligations whose interest is subject to federal income tax.
For example, the Fund may invest in obligations whose interest is federally
taxable pending the investment or reinvestment in municipal securities of
proceeds from the sale of its shares or sales of portfolio securities.
Should the Fund invest in federally taxable obligations, it would purchase
securities that in FMR's judgment are of high quality. These would include
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or
instrumentalities; obligations of domestic banks; and repurchase
agreements. The Fund's standards for high-quality, taxable obligations are
essentially the same as those described by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
(Moody's) in rating corporate obligations within its two highest ratings of
Prime-1 and Prime-2, and those described by Standard & Poor's
Corporation (S&P) in rating corporate obligations within its two
highest ratings of A-1 and A-2.
Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for
interest on municipal obligations are introduced before Congress from time
to time. Proposals also may be introduced before  state legislatures that
would affect the state tax treatment of the Fund's distributions. If such
proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal obligations and the
value of the Fund's holdings would be affected and the Trustees would
reevaluate the Fund's investment objective and policies. 
The Fund anticipates being as fully invested as practicable in municipal
securities; however, there may be occasions when, as a result of maturities
of portfolio securities, sales of Fund shares, or in order to meet
redemption requests, the Fund may hold cash that is not earning income. In
addition, there may be occasions when, in order to raise cash to meet
redemptions, the Fund may be required to sell securities at a loss.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued.  Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines
the liquidity of the Fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the
Board monitors investments in illiquid instruments.  In determining the
liquidity of the Fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features) and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset the Fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).  Investments currently considered
by the Fund to be illiquid include over-the-counter options.  Also, FMR may
determine some restricted securities and municipal lease obligations to be
illiquid.  However, with respect to over-the-counter options the Fund
writes, all or a portion of the value of the underlying instrument may be
illiquid depending on the assets held to cover the option and the nature
and terms of any agreement the Fund may have to close out the option before
expiration.  In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are
priced at fair value as determined in good faith by a committee appointed
by the Board of Trustees.  If through a change in values, net assets or
other circumstances, the Fund were in a position where more than 10% of its
net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would seek to take
appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering.  Where
registration is required, the Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of
the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the
time it decides to seek registration and the time the Fund may be permitted
to sell a security under an effective registration statement.  If, during
such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the Fund might
obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek
registration of the security.
LOWER-RATED MUNICIPAL SECURITIES.  The Fund may invest a portion of its
assets in lower-rated municipal securities as described in the Prospectus.
While the market for municipals is considered to be substantial, adverse
publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the ability of
outside pricing services used by the Fund to value its portfolio
securities, and the Fund's ability to dispose of lower-rated bonds.  The
outside pricing services are monitored by FMR and reported to the Board to
determine whether the services are furnishing prices that accurately
reflect fair value.  The impact of changing investor perceptions may be
especially pronounced in markets where municipal securities are thinly
traded.
The Fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise exercise its rights as a security holder to
seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to
be in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  In a repurchase agreement, the Fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller
at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date within a number of days from
the date of purchase.  The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or
maturity of the purchased security.  A repurchase agreement involves the
obligation of the seller to pay the agreed-upon price, which obligation is
in effect secured by the value (at least equal to the amount of the
agreed-upon resale price and marked to market daily) of the underlying
security.  The Fund may enter into a repurchase agreement with respect to
any security in which it is authorized to invest.  While it does not
presently appear possible to eliminate all risks from these transactions
(particularly the possibility of a decline in the market value of the
underlying securities, as well as delay and costs to the Fund in connection
with bankruptcy proceedings), it is the Fund's current policy to limit
repurchase agreements to those member banks of the Federal Reserve System
and primary dealers in U.S. government securities whose creditworthiness
has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund
sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time.  While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the Fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement. 
The Fund will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties
whose creditworthiness is deemed satisfactory by FMR.  As a result, such
transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of the Fund's
assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS.  The Fund intends to file
a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term
"commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate trading in the
futures markets.  The Fund intends to comply with Section 4.5 of the
regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act, which limits the extent to
which the Fund can commit assets to initial margin deposits and option
premiums.
In addition, the Fund will not:  (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put
options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the Fund's
total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal
conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a
result, the Fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of
purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its
total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current
value of option premiums for call options purchased by the Fund would
exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.  These limitations do not apply to
options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying
securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options.
The above limitations on the Fund's investments in futures contracts and
options, and the Fund's policies regarding futures contracts and options
discussed elsewhere in this Statement of Additional Information are not
fundamental policies and may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.
FUTURES CONTRACTS.  When the Fund purchases a futures contract, it agrees
to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. 
When the Fund sells a futures contract, it agrees to sell the underlying
instrument at a specified future date.  The price at which the purchase and
sale will take place is fixed when the Fund enters into the contract.  Some
currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities,
such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of
securities prices, such as the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index.  Futures
can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if
a liquid secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem
with the value of its underlying instrument.  Therefore, purchasing futures
contracts will tend to increase the Fund's exposure to positive and
negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had
purchased the underlying instrument directly.  When the Fund sells a
futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend
to move in a direction contrary to the market.  Selling futures contracts,
therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price
changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS.  The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is
not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the
contract is held until the delivery date.  However, both the purchaser and
seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker,
known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered
into.  Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the
contract's value.  If the value of either party's position declines, that
party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to
settle the change in value on a daily basis.  The party that has a gain may
be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount.  Initial and
variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin
for purposes of the Fund's investment limitations.  In the event of the
bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of the Fund, the Fund may
be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount
received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to
the Fund.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS.  By purchasing a put option, the Fund
obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying
instrument at a fixed strike price.  In return for this right, the Fund
pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). 
Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific
securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts.  The Fund
may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it
to expire or by exercising the option.  If the option is allowed to expire,
the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid.  If the Fund exercises the
option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike
price.  The Fund may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market
exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security
prices fall substantially.  However, if the underlying instrument's price
does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put
buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium
paid, plus related transaction costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to
purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's
strike price.  A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential
price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost
of the option if security prices fall.  At the same time, the buyer can
expect to suffer a loss if underlying security prices do not rise
sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS.  When the Fund writes a put option, it takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser.  In
return for receipt of the premium, the Fund assumes the obligation to pay
the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party
to the option chooses to exercise it.  When writing an option on a futures
contract the Fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as
described above for futures contracts.  The Fund may seek to terminate its
position in a put option it writes before exercise by closing out the
option in the secondary market at its current price.  If the secondary
market is not liquid for a put option the Fund has written, however, the
Fund must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside
assets to cover its position.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit,
although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it
received.  If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that
the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the
option at a lower price.  If security prices fall, the put writer would
expect to suffer a loss.  This loss should be less than the loss from
purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium
received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates the Fund to sell or deliver the option's
underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the
option.  The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those
of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable
strategy if prices remain the same or fall.  Through receipt of the option
premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline.  At the
same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying
instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is
greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security
price increases.
COMBINED POSITIONS.  The Fund may purchase and write options in combination
with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to
adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position.  For
example, the Fund may purchase a put option and write a call option on the
same underlying instrument, in order to construct a combined position whose
risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. 
Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at
one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, in order to
reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial
price increase.  Because combined options positions involve multiple
trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult
to open and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES.  Because there are a limited number of types
of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the
standardized contracts available will not match the Fund's current or
anticipated investments exactly.  The Fund may invest in options and
futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities,
or other characteristics from the securities in which it typically invests,
which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track
the performance of the Fund's other investments. 
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match the Fund's
investments well.  Options and futures prices are affected by such factors
as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility
of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of
the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way.  Imperfect
correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options
and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences
in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of
daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts.  The Fund may purchase or
sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to
compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the
securities, although this may not be successful in all cases.  If price
changes in the Fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated
with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated
gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other
investments.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS.  There is no assurance a liquid
secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract
at any particular time.  Options may have relatively low trading volume and
liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying
instrument's current price.  In addition, exchanges may establish daily
price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt
trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit
in a given day.  On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit
is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible for the Fund
to enter into new positions or close out existing positions.  If the
secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation
limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable
positions, and potentially could require the Fund to continue to hold a
position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. 
As a result, the Fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or
futures positions could also be impaired.
OTC OPTIONS.  Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with
respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and
strike price, the terms of over-the-counter options (options not traded on
exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other
party to the option contract.  While this type of arrangement allows the
Fund greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options
generally involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which
are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are
traded.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS.  The Fund will comply
with guidelines established by the SEC with respect to coverage of options
and futures strategies by mutual funds, and if the guidelines so require
will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account
in the amount prescribed.  Securities held in a segregated account cannot
be sold while the futures or option strategy is outstanding, unless they
are replaced with other suitable assets.  As a result, there is a
possibility that segregation of a large percentage of the Fund's assets
could impede portfolio management or the Fund's ability to meet redemption
requests or other current obligations.
EDUCATION.  In general, there are two types of education-related bonds;
those issued to finance projects for public colleges and universities, and
those representing pooled interests in student loans.  Bonds issued to
supply public educational institutions with funds are subject to the risk
of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of decreasing
student enrollment.  Among the factors that may affect enrollment are
restrictions on students' ability to pay tuition, availability of state and
federal funding, and general economic conditions.
Student loan revenue bonds are backed by pools of student loans and are
generally offered by state (or substate) authorities or commissions. 
Student loans are guaranteed by state guarantee agencies and reinsured by
the Department of Education.  The risks associated with these issues is
that default on the student loans may result in prepayment to bondholders
and an earlier-than-anticipated retirement of the bond.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on
behalf of the Fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the
   m    anagement    c    ontract.  FMR is also responsible for the
placement of transaction orders for other investment companies and accounts
for which it or its affiliates act as investment adviser.  In selecting
broker-dealers, subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities
laws, FMR will consider various relevant factors, including, but not
limited to, the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character
of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution
efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the
broker-dealer firm; the broker-dealer's execution services rendered on a
continuing basis; and the reasonableness of any  commissions   ; and the
existence of any directed brokerage arrangements.    
The Fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who provide
research and execution services to the Fund or other accounts over which
FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion.  Such services may
include advice concerning the value of securities; the advisability of
investing in, purchasing or selling securities; the availability of
securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities; furnishing analyses
and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors
and trends, portfolio strategy and performance of accounts; and effecting
securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such
as clearance and settlement).  The selection of such broker-dealers is
generally made by FMR (to the extent possible consistent with execution
considerations) in accordance with a ranking of broker-dealers determined
periodically by FMR's investment staff based upon the quality of research
and execution services provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the Fund may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to the Fund or its other clients, and conversely, such research
provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction orders on behalf
of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying out its obligations
to the Fund.  The receipt of such research has not reduced FMR's normal
independent research activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid
additional expenses that could be incurred if FMR tried to develop
comparable information through its own efforts.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive commissions for agency transactions that are in
excess of the amount of commissions charged by other broker-dealers in
recognition of their research and execution services.  In order to cause
the Fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR must determine in good faith
that such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such executing broker-dealers
viewed in terms of a particular transaction or FMR's overall
responsibilities to the Fund and its other clients.  In reaching this
determination, FMR will not attempt to place a specific dollar value on the
brokerage and research services provided or to determine what portion of
the compensation should be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the Fund or on shares of other Fidelity
Funds to the extent permitted by law.  FMR may use research services
provided by and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Inc. (FBSI), a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and subsidiary
of FMR Corp., if the commissions are fair and reasonable and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated qualified brokerage firms for similar
services.  Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits
members of national securities exchanges from executing exchange
transactions for accounts which they or their affiliates manage, except in
accordance with regulations of the SEC.  Pursuant to such regulations, the
Board of Trustees has approved a written agreement which permits FBSI to
effect fund portfolio transactions on national securities exchanges and to
retain compensation in connection with such transactions.
The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities
in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the
Fund and review the commissions paid by the Fund over representative
periods of time to determine whether they are reasonable in relation to the
benefits of the Fund.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the Fund of some portion of the brokerage commissions or similar
fees paid by the Fund on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and
advisable. The Fund seeks to recapture soliciting broker-dealer fees on the
tender of portfolio securities, but at present no other recapture
arrangements are in effect.  The Trustees intend to continue to review
whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible
and, if so, to determine, in the exercise of their business judgment,
whether it would be advisable for the Fund to seek such recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of the Fund are substantially the same
as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for the Fund
are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR or accounts
managed by FMR affiliates.  It sometimes happens that the same security is
held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or accounts. 
Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds are managed by
the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is
suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund.
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale
of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance
with a formula considered by the officers of the funds involved to be
equitable to each fund.  In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as the fund is
concerned.  In other cases, however, the ability of the fund to participate
in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the
fund.  It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of
retaining FMR as investment adviser to the Fund outweighs any disadvantages
that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.
VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Valuations of portfolio securities furnished by the pricing service
employed by the Fund are based upon a computerized matrix system or
appraisals by the pricing service, in each case in reliance upon
information concerning market transactions and quotations from recognized
municipal securities dealers.  The methods used by the pricing service and
the quality of valuations so established are reviewed by officers of the
Fund and Fidelity Service Company (Service) under the general supervision
of the Trustees or officers acting on behalf of the Trustees.  There are a
number of pricing services available, and the Trustees, on the basis of
on-going evaluation of these services, may use other pricing services or
discontinue the use of any pricing service in whole or in part.
The Fund's money market instruments are valued on the basis of amortized
cost.  This technique involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost
and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount
or premium, regardless of the market value of the instrument.  The
amortized cost value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the price
the Fund would receive if it sold the instrument.  
During periods of declining interest rates, the Fund's yield based on
amortized cost may be higher than a yield based on market prices and
estimates of market prices.  Under these circumstances, a new investor in
the Fund would be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result
from investment in a fund utilizing solely market quotations to determine
its NAV, and existing shareholders would receive less investment income. 
The converse would apply in a period of rising interest rates.
PERFORMANCE
The Fund may quote its performance in various ways.  All performance
information supplied by the Fund in advertising is historical and is not
intended to indicate future returns.  The Fund's share price, yield and
total returns fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors,
and the value of Fund shares when redeemed may be more or less than their
original cost.
YIELD CALCULATIONS.  Yields are computed by dividing the Fund's interest
and dividend income for a given 30-day or one month period, net of
expenses, by the average number of shares entitled to receive distributions
during the period, dividing this figure by its offering price (including
the 1.5% maximum sales charge) at the end of the period and annualizing the
result (assuming compounding of income) in order to arrive at an annual
percentage rate.  Income is calculated for purposes of yield quotations in
accordance with standardized methods applicable to all stock and bond
funds.  In general, interest income is reduced with respect to bonds
trading at a premium over their par value by subtracting a portion of the
premium from income on a daily basis, and is increased with respect to
bonds trading at a discount by adding a portion of the discount to daily
income.  Capital gains and losses are excluded from the calculation.  
 
The Fund's tax-equivalent yield is the rate an investor would have to earn
from a fully taxable investment in order to equal the Fund's tax-free
yields.  Tax-equivalent yields are calculated by dividing the Fund's yield
by the result of one minus a stated federal and state tax rate.  (If only a
portion of the Fund's yield was tax-exempt, only that portion is adjusted
in the calculation.)

* Net amount subject to federal income tax after deductions and exemptions. 
Assumes ordinary income only; does not include impact of preferential rate
on long-term capital gain income.
** Excludes the impact of the phaseout of personal exemptions, limitation
on itemized deductions, and other credits, exclusions, and adjustments
which may raise a taxpayer's marginal tax rate.  An increase in a
shareholder's marginal tax rate would increase that shareholder's
tax-equivalent yield.
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in obligations that are subject
to federal income tax.  When the Fund invests in these obligations, its
tax-equivalent yield will be lower.  In the table above, tax-equivalent
yields are calculated assuming investments are 100% federally tax-free.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the Fund's performance and in
providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives. 
However, the Fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed
interest rate over a stated period of time.  When comparing investment
alternatives, investors should also note the quality and maturity of the
portfolio securities of the respective investment companies they have
chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates, the
Fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates,
and that in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund's yield will tend to
be somewhat lower.  Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of
net new money to the Fund from the continuous sale of its shares will
likely be invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance
of the Fund's holdings, thereby reducing the current yield of the Fund.  In
periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS.  Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of the Fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends
and capital gain distributions, and any change in the Fund's net asset
value per share (NAV) over the period.  Average annual total returns are
calculated by determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical
historical investment in the Fund over a stated period, and then
calculating the annually compounded percentage rate that would have
produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been
constant over the period.  For example, a cumulative return of 100% over
ten years would produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the
steady annual rate that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in
ten years.  While average annual total returns are a convenient means of
comparing investment alternatives, investors should realize that the Fund's
performance is not constant over time, but changes from year to year, and
that average annual total returns represent averaged figures as opposed to
the actual year-to-year performance of the Fund.
In addition to average annual total returns, the Fund may quote unaveraged
or cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period.  Average annual and cumulative total
returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, or a series of
redemptions, over any time period.  Total returns may be broken down into
their components of income and capital (including capital gain or loss and
changes in share price) in order to illustrate the relationship of these
factors and their contributions to total returns.  Total returns may be
quoted with or without taking the Fund's 1.5% maximum sales charge into
account.  Excluding the Fund's sales charge from a total return calculation
produces a higher total return figure.  Total returns, yields and other
performance information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph or
similar illustration.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS.  Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois
(Ibbotson) provides historical returns of the capital markets in the United
States, including common stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term
corporate bonds, intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government
bonds, Treasury bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the Consumer
Price Index), and combinations of various capital markets.  The performance
of these capital markets is based on the returns of different indices.  
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order to
demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios.  Performance
comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any
of these capital markets.  The risks associated with the security types in
any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the
funds.  Ibbotson calculates total returns in the same method as the funds. 
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future. 
The Fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual
funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual
funds.   These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings
prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper), an independent
service located in Summit, New Jersey which monitors the performance of
mutual funds.  Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis of total return,
assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take sales charges or
redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared without regard to tax
consequences.  Lipper may also rank the funds based on yield.  In addition
to the mutual fund rankings, The Fund's average annual total returns,
yields and distribution rate include the effect of the maximum 1.5% sales
charge. Cumulative total returns do not include the effect of the sales
charge and would have been lower if the sales charge had been taken into
account.  The Fund's performance may be compared to mutual fund performance
indices prepared by Lipper.  
The Fund may compare its performance to that of other compilations or
indices of comparable quality to those listed above which may be developed
and made available in the future.
The Fund may quote its performance in advertising and other types of
literature as compared to certificates of deposit (CDs), bank-issued money
market instruments and money market mutual funds.  Unlike CDs and money
market instruments, money market mutual funds and the Fund are not insured
by the FDIC.
The Fund may compare and contrast in advertising the relative advantages of
investing in a mutual fund versus an individual municipal bond.  Unlike
tax-free mutual funds, individual municipal bonds offer a stated rate of
interest, and, if held to maturity, repayment of principal.  Although some
individual municipal bonds might offer a higher return, they do not offer
the reduced risk of a mutual fund which invests in many different
securities.  The initial investment requirements and sales charges of many
tax-free mutual funds are lower than the purchase cost of individual
municipal bonds, which generally are issued in $5,000 denominations and are
subject to direct brokerage costs.  The Fund may quote the yield or total
return of Ginnie Maes, Fannie Maes, Freddie Macs, corporate bonds and U.S.
Treasury bonds and notes, either in comparison to each other or to the
Fund's performance.  The Fund may compare and contrast in advertising the
relative advantages of investing in a mutual fund versus an individual
government security.
The Fund may compare its performance or the performance of securities in
which it may invest to averages published by IBC USA (Publications), Inc.
of Ashland, Massachusetts.  These averages assume reinvestment of
distributions.  The Bond Fund Report Averages/All Municipal, which is
reported in the BOND FUND REPORT, covers over 225 municipal bond funds. 
When evaluating comparisons to money market funds, investors should
consider the relevant differences in investment objectives and policies. 
Specifically, money market funds invest in short-term, high-quality
instruments and seek to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.  The Fund,
however, invests in longer-term instruments and its share price changes
daily in response to a variety of factors.
The Fund may reference and discuss its fund number, Quotron number, CUSIP
number, and current portfolio manager in advertising.
From time to time, in reports and promotional literature, the Fund's
performance also may be compared to other mutual funds tracked by financial
or business publications and periodicals.  For example, the Fund may quote
Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising materials.  Morningstar, Inc. is a
mutual fund rating service that rates mutual funds on the basis of
risk-adjusted performance.  In addition, the Fund may quote financial or
business publications and periodicals as they relate to fund management,
investment philosophy, and investment techniques.  Rankings that compare
the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate categories
over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.
NET ASSET VALUE.  Charts and graphs using the Fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values and benchmark indices may be used to exhibit
performance.  An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the Fund
and reflects all elements of its return.  Unless otherwise indicated, the
Fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.
The Fund may advertise examples of the effects of periodic investment
plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging.  In such a
program, the investor invests a fixed dollar amount in the Fund at periodic
intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high and more
shares when prices are low.  While such a strategy does not assure a profit
nor guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's average cost
per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares had been purchased
at the same intervals.  In evaluating such a plan, investors should
consider their ability to continue purchasing shares through periods of low
price levels.
Of course, no assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve any
specific tax-exempt yield.  While it is expected that the Fund will invest
principally in municipal obligations whose interest is not includable in
gross income for purposes of calculating federal income tax, other income
received by the Fund may be taxable.
   As of December 31, 1993, FMR managed approximately $95 billion in fixed
income assets, as defined and tracked by Lipper.  From time to time the
Fund may compare FMR's fixed income assets under management with that of
other investment advisors.    
   DURATION.  Duration is a measure of volatility commonly used in the bond
market.  Bonds with long durations are more volatile, or interest rate
sensitive, than bonds with short durations.  (Interest rate sensitivity is
the magnitude of the change in a bond's price for a given change in a
bond's yield to maturity.)  Duration also can be calculated for other fixed
income securities, or for portfolios of fixed income securities.    
   Unlike the maturity of a bond, which reflects only the time remaining
until the final principal payment is made to the bondholders, duration
reflects all of the coupon payments made to bondholders during the life of
the bond, as well as the final principal payment made when the bond
matures.  More precisely, duration is the weighted average time remaining
for the payment of all cash flows generated by a bond, with the weights
being the present value of these cash flows.  Present values are calculated
using the bond's yield to maturity.    
   Because there is only one payment to take into account, the duration of
a bond that pays all of its interest at maturity (a zero coupon security)
is the same as its maturity.  The duration of a coupon bearing security
will be shorter than its maturity, however, because of the effect of its
regular interest payments.  Generally, bonds with lower coupons or longer
maturities will have longer durations, and thus be more volatile, than
otherwise similar bonds with higher coupons or shorter maturities.    
   When the Fund invests in mortgage-backed securities, callable corporate
bonds or other bonds with imbedded options, there is a degree of
uncertainty regarding the timing of these securities' cash flows.  As a
result, in order to calculate the durations of these securities, forecasts
of their probable cash flow patterns must be made.  These forecasts require
various assumptions to be made as to future interest rate levels and, for
example, mortgage prepayment rates.  Because duration calculations for
these types of securities are based in part on assumptions, duration
figures may not be precise and may change as economic conditions change.

ADDITIONAL PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
The Fund is open for business and its NAV is calculated every day the NYSE
is open for trading.  The NYSE has designated the following holiday
closings for 1994:  Presidents Day (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day
(observed), Independence Day (observed), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and
Christmas Day (observed).  Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule,
with the addition of New Year's Day, to be observed in the future, the NYSE
may modify its holiday schedule at any time.  On any day that the NYSE
closes early, or as permitted by the SEC, the right is reserved to advance
the time on that day by which purchase and redemption orders must be
received.  To the extent that portfolio securities are traded in other
markets on days when the NYSE is closed, the Fund's NAV may be affected on
days when investors do not have access to the Fund to purchase or redeem
shares.  Certain Fidelity funds may follow different holiday closing
schedules.
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payment
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are valued in
computing the Fund's NAV.  Shareholders receiving securities or other
property on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax purposes, and
will incur any costs of sale, as well as the associated inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 (the Rule) under the 1940 Act, the Fund is required
to give shareholders at least 60 days' notice prior to terminating or
modifying its exchange privilege.  Under the Rule, the 60-day notification
requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of a modification would be
to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee, redemption fee, or deferred
sales charge ordinarily payable at the time of an exchange, or (ii) the
Fund suspends the redemption of the shares to be exchanged as permitted
under the 1940 Act or by the SEC, or the fund to be acquired suspends the
sale of its shares because it is unable to invest amounts effectively in
accordance with its investment objective and policies.
In the Fund's prospectus, the Fund has notified shareholders that it
reserves the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange
purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the Fund would be
unable to invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective
and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
PURCHASE INFORMATION
 As provided for in Rule 22d-1 under the 1940 Act, Distributors exercises
its right to waive the Fund's maximum 1.5% sales charge in connection with
the Fund's merger with or acquisition of any investment company or trust.
 NET ASSET VALUE PURCHASES.  Sales charges do not apply to shares of the
Fund purchased:  (1) by registered representatives, bank trust officers and

more than 200 eligible employees or a minimum of $3,000,000 in assets
invested in Fidelity mutual funds or a minimum of $1,000,000 invested in
Fidelity Advisor mutual funds.
 Distributors compensates securities dealers and banks having agreements
with Distributors (investment professionals), who sell shares of the Fund
according to the schedule in the Fund's Prospectus.  Distributors may, at
its expense, provide promotional incentives to investment professionals who
support the sale of shares of the Fund without reimbursement from the Fund. 
In some instances, these incentives may be offered only to certain
investment professionals whose representatives provide services in
connection with the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares. 
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company (FIIOC), an affiliate
of FMR is paid fees based on the type, size and number of bank affiliated
client accounts and number of their monetary transactions.
 QUANTITY DISCOUNTS. Reduced sales charges are applicable to purchases of
$   1,000    ,000 or more of the Fund alone or in combination with
purchases of shares of other Fidelity Advisor Funds made at any one time
(including Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund shares acquired
by exchange from any Fidelity Advisor Fund with a sales charge).  To obtain
the reduction of the sales charge, you or your investment professional must
notify FIIOC at the time of purchase whenever a quantity discount is
applicable to your purchase.  Upon such notification, you will receive the
lowest applicable sales charge.
 In addition to investing at one time in any combination of funds
(excluding Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund) in an amount entitling you
to a reduced sales charge, you may qualify for a reduction in the sales
charge under the following programs:
 COMBINED PURCHASES.  When you invest in the Fund for several accounts at
the same time, you may combine these investments into a single transaction
if purchased through one investment professional and if the total is at
least $1,000,000.  The following may qualify for this privilege:  an
individual, or "company" as defined in Section 2(a)(8) of the 1940 Act; an
individual, spouse, and their children under age 21 purchasing for his,
her, or their own account; a trustee, administrator or other fiduciary
purchasing for a single trust estate or single fiduciary account or for a
single or a parent-subsidiary group of "employee benefit plans" (as defined
in Section 3(3) of ERISA); and tax-exempt organizations under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION.  Your "Rights of Accumulation" permit reduced
sales charges on any future purchases after you have reached a new
breakpoint in the Fund's sales charge schedule (see the Prospectus for the
Fund's sales charge schedule).  You can add the value of existing Fidelity
Advisor Fund shares (including Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money
Fund shares acquired by exchange from any Fidelity Advisor Fund), held by
you, your spouse, and your children under age 21 determined at the previous
day's NAV at the close of business, to the amount of your new purchase
valued at the current offering price to determine your reduced sales
charge.
 LETTER OF INTENT.  If you anticipate purchasing $   1,000    ,000 or more
of shares of the Fund in combination with shares of certain other Fidelity
Advisor Funds (excluding Daily Money Fund and Daily Tax-Exempt Money Fund)
within a 13-month period, you may obtain shares of the portfolios at the
same reduced sales charge as though the total quantity were invested in one
lump sum, by filing a nonbinding Letter of Intent (the Letter) within 90
days of the start of the purchases.  Each investment you make after signing
the Letter will be entitled to the sales charge applicable to the total
investment indicated in the Letter.  For example, a $2,500 purchase toward
a $   1,00    0,000 Letter would receive the same reduced sales charge as
if the $   1,000    ,000 had been invested at one time.  To ensure that the
reduced price will be received on future purchases, you or your investment
professional must inform the Transfer Agent that the Letter is in effect
each time shares are purchased.  Neither income dividends nor capital gain
distributions taken in additional shares will apply toward the completion
of the Letter.
 Your initial investment must be at least 5% of the total amount you plan
to invest.  Out of the initial purchase, 5% of the dollar amount specified
in the Letter will be registered in your name and held in escrow.  The
shares held in escrow cannot be redeemed or exchanged until the Letter is
satisfied or the additional sales charges have been paid.  You will earn
income dividends and capital gain distributions on escrowed shares.  The
escrow will be released when your purchase of the total amount has been
completed.  You are not obligated to complete the Letter.
 If you purchase more than the amount specified in the Letter and qualify
for a further sales charge reduction, the sales charge will be adjusted to
reflect your total purchase at the end of 13 months.  Surplus funds will be
applied to the purchase of additional shares at the then current offering
price applicable to the total purchase.
 If you do not complete your purchase under the Letter within the 13-month
period, your sales charge will be adjusted upward, corresponding to the
amount actually purchased, and if after written notice, you do not pay the
increased sales charge, sufficient escrowed shares will be redeemed to pay
such charge.
    FIDELITY ADVISOR SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM.      You can make
regular investments in certain other Fidelity Advisor Funds with the
Systematic Investment P   rogram     by completing the appropriate section
of the account application and attaching a voided personal check with your
bank's magnetic ink coding number across the front.  If your bank account
is jointly owned, be sure that all owners sign.  Investments may be made
monthly by automatically deducting $100 or more from your bank checking
account.  You may change the amount of your monthly purchase at any time.
    There is a $1,000 minimum initial investment requirement for the
Systematic Investment Program.    
 Your account will be drafted on or about the first business day of every
month.  Shares will be purchased at the offering price next determined
following receipt of the order by the Transfer Agent.  You may cancel the
Systematic Investment option at any time without payment of a cancellation
fee.  You will receive a confirmation from the Transfer Agent for every
transaction, and a debit entry will appear on your bank statement.
EXCHANGE INFORMATION
    FIDELITY ADVISOR SYSTEAMTIC EXCHANGE PROGRAM    .  With the Systematic
Exchange P   rogram    , you can exchange a specific dollar amount from one
Fidelity Advisor fund into another on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual
basis    under the following conditions:    
   1.     The account from which the exchanges are to be processed must
have a minimum value of $10,000 before you may elect to begin exchanging
systematically.  The account into which the exchanges are to be processed
must be an existing account with a minimum of $1,000.
   2.     Both accounts must have identical registrations and taxpayer
identification numbers.  The minimum amount to be exchanged systematically
into the Fund is $100.     Please check the Fidelity Advisor Funds
Prospectus for details.    
   3.     Systematic Exchanges will be processed at the NAV determined on
the transaction date, except that Systematic Exchanges into a Fidelity
Advisor Fund from any money market fund will be processed at the offering
price next determined on the transaction date   ,     unless the shares
were acquired by exchange from another Fidelity Advisor Fund   .    
REDEMPTION INFORMATION
 REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE.  If you have    sold     all or part of your
shares you may reinvest an amount equal to all or a portion of the
redemption proceeds in the Fund or in any of the other Fidelity Advisor
Funds, at the NAV next determined after receipt of your investment order,
without a sales charge, provided that such reinvestment is made within 30
days of redemption.     Y    ou must reinstate your shares into an account
with the same registration.  This privilege may be exercised only once by a
shareholder with respect to the Fund. 
    FIDELITY ADVISOR     SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL P   ROGRAM    .  If you own
shares worth $10,000 or more, you can have monthly, quarterly or semiannual
checks sent from your account to you, to a person named by you, or to your
bank checking account.  You may obtain information about the Systematic
Withdrawal P   rogram     by contacting your investment professional. Your
Systematic Withdrawal P   rogram     payments are drawn from share
redemptions.  If Systematic Withdrawal P   rogram     redemptions exceed
income dividends earned on your shares, your account eventually may be
exhausted.  Since a sales charge is applied on new shares you buy, it is to
your disadvantage to buy shares while also making systematic redemptions.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS.  If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, the Transfer Agent may reinvest your distributions
at the then-current NAV.  All subsequent distributions will then be
reinvested until you provide the Transfer Agent with alternate
instructions.
DIVIDENDS.  To the extent that the Fund's income is derived from federally
tax-exempt interest, the daily dividends declared by the Fund also are
federally tax-exempt.  The Fund will send each shareholder a notice in
January describing the tax status of dividends and capital gain
distributions for the prior year.
Shareholders are required to report tax-exempt income on their federal tax
returns.  Shareholders who earn other income, such as Social Security
benefits, may be subject to federal income tax on such benefits to the
extent that their income, including tax-exempt income, exceeds certain base
amounts.
The Fund purchases municipal obligations on the basis of opinions of bond
counsel regarding the federal income tax status of the obligations.  These
opinions generally will be based upon covenants by the issuers regarding
continuing compliance with federal tax requirements.  If the issuer of an
obligation fails to comply with its covenants at any time, interest on the
obligations could become federally taxable retroactive to the date the
obligation was issued.
As a result of The Tax Reform Act of 1986 interest on certain "private
activity" bonds (referred to in the Internal Revenue Code as "qualified
bonds"), is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), although
the interest continues to be excludable from gross income for other
purposes.     Interest from private activity securities will be considered
tax-exempt for purposes of the Fund's policies of investing so that at
least 80% of its income is free from federal income tax.      Interest from
private activity    securities     is a tax preference item for the purpose
of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and the amount of
AMT tax to be paid, if any.  Private activity obligations issued after
August 7, 1986 to benefit a private or industrial user or to finance a
private facility are affected by this rule.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS.  Long-term capital gains realized by the Fund
on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are federally
taxable as long-term capital gains regardless of the length of time that
shareholders have held their shares.  If a shareholder receives a long-term
capital gain distribution on shares of the Fund and such shares are held
less than six months and are sold at a loss, the portion of the loss equal
to the amount of the long-term capital gain distribution will be considered
long-term for tax purposes.
A portion of the gain on    b    onds purchased at a discount after April
30, 1993 and short-term capital gains distributed by the Fund are federally
taxable to shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains.  Distributions
from the short-term capital gains do not qualify for the dividends received
deduction.     Dividend distributions resulting from a recharacterization
of gain from the sale of bonds purchased at a discount after April 30, 1993
are not considered income for purposes of the Fund's policy of investing so
that at least 80% of its income is free from federal income tax.    
TAX STATUS OF THE FUND.  The Fun   d     intends t   o     qualify as a
"regulated investment company" for tax purposes, so that it will not be
liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to
shareholders.  In order to qualify as a regulated investment company and
avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes, the Fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and realized
capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis. 
The Fund also intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to
regulated investment companies, including a requirement that capital gains
from sale of securities held for less than three months must constitute
less than 30% of the Fund's gross income for each fiscal year.  Gains from
some futures contracts and options are included in this 30% calculation,
which may limit the Fund's investments in such instruments.  The Fund is
treated as a separate entity from the other portfolios of Fidelity Advisor
Series VI for tax purposes.  
OTHER TAX INFORMATION.  The information above is only a summary of some of
the federal tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its
shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax
consequences.  In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders of the
Fund may be subject to state and local taxes on distributions received from
the Fund.  Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether
the Fund is suitable for their particular tax situation.

service.  Currently, Messrs. Robert L. Johnson, William R. Spaulding,

As of    January 31    , 1993 the Trustees and officers owned in the
aggregate less than 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares.
MANAGEMENT    AND OTHER SERVICES    
The Fund employs FMR to furnish investment and other services.  Under its
Management Contract with the Fund, FMR acts as investment advisor and,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, directs the
investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objective,
policies, and limitations.  FMR also provides the Fund with all necessary
office facilities and personnel for servicing the Fund's investments, and
compensates all officers of the Fidelity Advisor Series VI (the Trust), all
Trustees who are "interested persons" of the Trust or of FMR, and all
personnel of the Trust or FMR performing services relating to research,
statistical, and investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary
for the operation of the Fund.  These services include providing facilities
for maintaining the Fund's organization, supervising relations with
custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and
other persons dealing with the Fund; preparing all general shareholder
communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the Fund's
records and the registration of the Fund's shares under federal and state
law; developing management and shareholder services for the Fund; and
furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to
the Board of Trustees.
In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to
United Missouri, the Fund pays all its expenses, without limitation, that
are not assumed by those parties.  The Fund pays for typesetting, printing
and mailing of prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices,
reports, and proxy material to existing shareholders, legal expenses, and
the fees of the custodian, auditor and non-interested Trustees.  Other
expenses paid by the Fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,
the Fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal and state
securities laws.  The Fund is also liable for such nonrecurring expenses as
may arise, including costs of litigation to which the Fund may be a party,
and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with
respect to such litigation.
   COMPUTING THE BASIC FEE.      For the services of FMR under the
contract, the Fund pays FMR a monthly management fee composed of the sum of
two elements:  a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.  The group
fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the
registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts and
is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate
schedule shown on the left below.  On the right, the effective fee rate
schedules are the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates at
varying asset levels.  Also shown below is the effective annual fee rate at
various levels of group net assets.  For example, the effective annual fee
rate at $   232     billion of group net assets -- their approximate level
for the month of    December 1993     -- was    .1621    %, which is the
weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net
assets up to $190 billion.

* The rates shown for average group assets in excess of $120 billion were
adopted by FMR on a voluntary basis on January 1, 1992.  Rates in excess of
$174 billion were adopted by FMR on a voluntary basis on November 1, 1993. 
Each was adopted pending shareholder approval of a new management contract
reflecting the extended schedule.  The extended schedule provides for lower
management fees as total assets under management increase.
The individual fund fee rate is .25%.  Based on the average net assets of
the funds advised by FMR for the period from December 31, 1993, the annual
management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

</TABLE>
 
One twelfth of this annual management fee rate is then applied to the
Fund's average net assets for the current month, giving a dollar amount
which is the fee for that month.
To comply with the California Code of Regulations, FMR will reimburse the
Fund if and to the extent that the Fund's aggregate annual operating
expenses exceed specified percentages of its average net assets.  The
applicable percentages are 2 1/2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next
$70 million, and 1 1/2% of average net assets in excess of $100 million. 
When calculating the Fund's expenses for purposes of this regulation, the
Fund may exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses, as well as a portion of its distribution plan expenses.
United Missouri is transfer, dividend-disbursing and shareholder servicing
agent for the Fund.  United Missouri has a sub-arrangement with State
Street for transfer agent services.  State Street has delegated certain
transfer, dividend paying and shareholder services to FIIOC, 82 Devonshire
Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, an affiliate of FMR.  Under a revised
fee arrangement effective January 1, 1993, the Fund pays an annual per
account fee and a monetary transaction fee of $30 and $6, respectively. 
For accounts that FIIOC maintains on behalf of State Street, FIIOC receives
all such fees.  For accounts as to which FIIOC provides limited services,
FIIOC may receive a portion (currently up to $20 and $6, respectively) of
related per account fees and monetary transaction fees, less applicable
charges and expenses of State Street for account maintenance and
transactions.
 
United Missouri has a sub-contract with Service, pursuant to which Service
performs the calculations necessary to determine the Fund's net asset value
per share and dividends and maintains the Fund's accounting records.  The
annual fee rates for these pricing and bookkeeping services are based on
the Fund's average net assets, specifically, .04% for the first $500
million of average net assets and .02% for average net assets in excess of
$500 million.  The fee is limited to a minimum of $45,000 and a maximum of
$750,000 per year. 
The pricing and bookkeeping fees and transfer agency fees described above
are paid by United Missouri, which is entitled to reimbursement from the
Fund for these expenses.
   THE DISTRIBUTOR    
The Fund has a    General D    istribution    A    greement with
Distributors, a Massachusetts corporation organized on July 18, 1960. 
Distributors is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and is a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.  The    General D    istribution    A    greement calls for
Distributors to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other
business, to secure purchasers for shares of the Fund which are
continuously offered.  Promotional and administrative expenses in
connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by    Distributors. 
Distributors also acts as general distributor for other publicly offered
Fidelity funds.  The expenses of these operations are borne by FMR or
Distributors.    
   DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN    
The Trustees of the Fund on behalf of the Fund have adopted a Distribution
and Service Plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the Rule).  The Plan has been approved by the Trustees
and by the Fund's shareholders at a special meeting held    January 20,
1994    .  As required by the Rule, the Trustees carefully considered all
pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan prior to its
approval, and have determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that
the Plan will benefit the Fund and its shareholders.  In particular, the
Trustees noted that payments under the Plan may provide additional
incentives to promote the sale of shares of the Fund, which may result in
additional sales of the Fund's shares and an increase in the Fund's assets. 
The Fund pays to Distributors a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to
.40% (or such lesser amount as the Trustees may, from time to time,
determine) of its average net assets determined as of the close of business
on each day throughout the month, but excluding assets attributable to
shares purchased more than 144 months prior to such day.  Currently, the
Trustees have approved an annual rate of .15% of the Fund's average net
assets.  This fee may be increased only when, in the opinion of the
Trustees, it is in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders to do so. 
This distribution fee will be paid by the Fund, not by individual accounts. 
 
The Plan specifically recognizes that FMR, either directly or through
Distributors, may use its management fee revenue, past profits or other
resources, without limitation, to pay promotional and administrative
expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares of the Fund. 
Under the Plan, if the payment by the Fund or FMR of management fees should
be deemed to be indirect financing of the distribution of the Fund's
shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan.  In addition, the Plan
provides that FMR may use its resources, including its management fee
revenues, to make payments to third parties that assist in selling shares
of the Fund or in other distribution activities.
The Plan does not provide for specific payment by the Fund of any of the
expenses of Distributors, nor obligate Distributors or FMR to perform any
specific type or level of distribution activities or incur any specific
level of expense in connection with distribution activities.  After
payments by Distributors for advertising, marketing and distribution and
payments to Investment Professionals, the amounts remaining, if any, may be
used as Distributors may elect.
The Glass-Steagall Act generally prohibits federally and state chartered or
supervised banks from engaging in the business of underwriting, selling or
distributing securities.  Although the scope of this prohibition under the
Glass-Steagall Act has not been fully defined, in Distributors opinion it
should not prohibit banks from being paid for shareholder support services,
servicing and recordkeeping functions.  Distributors intends to engage
banks only to perform such functions.  However, changes in federal or state
statutes and regulations pertaining to the permissible activities of banks
and their affiliates or subsidiaries, as well as further judicial or
administrative decisions or interpretations, could prevent a bank from
continuing to perform all or a part of the contemplated services.  If a
bank were prohibited from so acting, the Trustees would consider what
actions, if any, would be necessary to continue to provide efficient and
effective shareholder services.  In such event, changes in the operation of
the Fund might occur, including possible termination of any automatic
investment or redemption or other services then provided by the bank.  It
is not expected that shareholders would suffer any adverse financial
consequences as a result of any of these occurrences.  The Fund may execute
portfolio transactions with and purchase securities issued by depository
institutions that receive payments under the Plan.  No preference will be
shown in the selection of investments for the instruments of such
depository institutions.  In addition, state securities laws on this issue
may differ from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein, and
banks and financial institutions may be required to register as dealers
pursuant to state law.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION.  Fidelity Advisor Short-Intermediate Tax-Exempt Fund is
a portfolio of Fidelity Advisor Series VI. In the event that FMR ceases to
be the investment adviser to the Fund or a fund, the right of the Trust or
Fund to use the identifying name "Fidelity" may be withdrawn. 
The assets of the Trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each
fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject only
to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund.  The underlying assets of
each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be charged
with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of the
general expenses of the Trust.  Expenses with respect to the Trust are to
be allocated in proportion to the asset value of the respective portfolios
except where allocations of direct expense can otherwise be fairly made. 
The officers of the Trust, subject to the general supervision of the Board
of Trustees, have the power to determine which expenses are allocable to a
given fund, or which are general and allocable to all of the funds.  In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Trust, shareholders of each
fund are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
As of February 14, 1994, FMR owned 100% of the Fund's outstanding shares.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY.   The Trust is an entity of the type
commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust."  Under Massachusetts
law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the trust.  The Declaration of
Trust provides that the Trust shall not have any claim against shareholders
except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that
each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the
Trust or the Trustees include a provision limiting the obligations created
thereby to the Trust and its assets.  The Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the fund.  The Declaration of
Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense
of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the
fund and satisfy any judgment thereon.  Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to
circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its
obligations.  FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is remote.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees if they have
exercised reasonable care will not be liable for any neglect or wrongdoing,
but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a Trustee against any
liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his office.
VOTING RIGHTS.  Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest.  The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights; the voting
and dividend rights, the right of redemption, and the privilege of exchange
are described in the Prospectus.  Shares are fully paid and nonassessable,
except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability"
above.  Shareholders representing 10% or more of the Trust or a fund may,
as set forth in the Declaration of Trust, call meetings of the Trust or a
fund for any purpose related to the Trust or fund, as the case may be,
including, in the case of a meeting of the entire Trust, the purpose of
voting on removal of one or more Trustees.  The Trust or any fund may be
terminated upon the sale of its assets to another open-end management
investment company, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets, if
approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Trust or the fund.  If not so terminated, the Trust and its funds will
continue indefinitely.
CUSTODIAN.  United Missouri Bank, N.A., 1010 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, MO,
is custodian of the assets of the Fund.  The custodian is responsible for
the safekeeping of the Trust's assets and the appointment of subcustodian
banks and clearing agencies.  The custodian takes no part in determining
the investment policies of the Fund or in deciding which securities are
purchased or sold by the Fund.  The Fund may, however, invest in
obligations of the custodian and may purchase securities from or sell
securities to the custodian.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the Trust's
Trustees may from time to time have transactions with various banks,
including banks serving as custodians for certain of the funds advised by
FMR.  Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and
personal and general business loans.  In the judgment of FMR, the terms and
conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or
potential custodial or other Fund relationships.
 
AUDITOR.     Coopers & Lybrand    , serves as the Fund's independent
accountant.  The auditor examines financial statements for the Fund and
provides other audit, tax and related services. 
APPENDIX
DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY for the Fund is derived by multiplying the
value of each investment by the number of days remaining to its maturity,
adding these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the
Fund's portfolio.  An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a
stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to this
rule.
For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will take
advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call, refunding, or
redemption provision, the date on which the instrument will probably be
called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be its maturity date. 
When a municipal bond issuer has committed to call an issue of bonds and
has established an independent escrow account that is sufficient to, and is
pledged to, refund that issue, the number of days to maturity for the
prerefunded bond is considered to be the number of days to the announced
call date of the bonds.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE INC.'S RATINGS OF STATE AND
MUNICIPAL NOTES:
Moody's ratings for state and municipal and other short-term obligations
will be designated Moody's Investment Grade (MIG, or VMIG for variable rate
obligations).  This distinction is in recognition of the difference between
short-term credit risk and long-term risk.  Factors affecting the liquidity
of the borrower and short-term cyclical elements are critical in short-term
ratings, while other factors of major importance in bond risk, long-term
secular trends, for example, may be less important in the short run. 
Symbols used will be as follows:
MIG-1/VMIG-1 - This designation denotes best quality.  There is present
strong protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or
demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
MIG-2/VMIG-2 - This designation denotes high quality.  Margins of
protection are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S RATINGS OF STATE AND
MUNICIPAL NOTES:
SP-1 - Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest.  Those
issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be
given a plus (+) designation.
SP-2 - Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.  They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt
edge."  Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure.  While the various protective
elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most
unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
AA - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. 
Together with Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds.  They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins
of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other
elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than
in Aaa securities.
A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to
be considered as upper-medium-grade obligations.  Factors giving security
to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be
present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the
future.
BAA - Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.  Interest payments
and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain
protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable
over any great length of time.  Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.
BA - Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements.  Their future
cannot be considered as well assured.  Often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times in the future.  Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.
Those bonds in the Aa, A, Baa and Ba groups which Moody's believes possess
the strongest investment attributes are designated by the symbols Aa1, A1,
Baa1 and Ba1.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION'S MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS:
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's to a debt obligation.  Capacity to pay interest and repay principal
is extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the highest-rated debt issues only in small
degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal,
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal.  Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher-rated
categories.
BB - Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative issues.  However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or
exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could
lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
The ratings from AA to BB may be modified by the addition of a plus or
minus to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
