The following paragraph 
replaces  the one found in 
the "Shareholder and 
Account Policies" on P-37. 
    EFFECT OF FOREIGN TAXES.    
Foreign governments may 
impose taxes on a fund and 
its investments and these 
taxes generally will reduce 
the fund's distributions. A tax 
credit or deduction may be 
available to you. If so, your 
tax statement will show more 
taxable income or capital 
gains than actually 
distributed by the fund, but 
will also show the amount of 
the available offsetting credit 
or deduction.    
The following paragraphs 
supplement the information 
found in the section entitled 
"Transaction Details" 
beginning on P-37.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT 
TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL 
MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00 
from accounts with a value of 
less than $2,500 (including 
any amount paid as a sales 
charge), subject to an annual 
maximum charge of $60.00 
per shareholder. It is 
expected that accounts will 
be valued on the second 
Friday in November of each 
year. Accounts opened after 
September 30 will not be 
subject to the fee for that 
year. The fee, which is 
payable to the transfer agent, 
is designed to offset in part 
the relatively higher costs of 
servicing smaller accounts. 
The fee will not be deducted 
from retirement accounts, 
accounts using regular 
investment plans, or if total 
assets in Fidelity funds 
exceed $50,000. Eligibility for 
the $50,000 waiver is 
determined by aggregating 
Fidelity mutual fund accounts 
maintained by FSC or FBSI 
which are registered under 
the same social security 
number or which list the 
same social security number 
for the custodian of a 
Uniform Gifts/Transfers to 
Minors Act account.
The information regarding 
UGMS/UTMA accounts with 
respect to sales charge 
waivers (number 9) on P-39 
does not apply to 
international funds.
