       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.
