SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED SEPTEMBER 18, 1993
   SHAREHOLDER MEETING.  On July 13, 1994, shareholders of Fidelity     
   Mortgage Securities Portfolio voted to approve proposals to modify
certain     
   of the fund's investment policies and limitations.    
   A proposal was approved that replaced the fund's fundamental investment
    
   policies regarding quality with non-fundamental policies while
increasing     
   its ability to invest in lower-quality securities.  The main purpose of
this is     
   to give FMR, the fund's manager, greater flexibility in pursuit of the
    
   fund's investment objective by permitting the fund to invest a greater
    
   amount of its total assets in securities that have a lower credit
quality. The     
   fund previously had a fundamental policy which required the fund's     
   mortgage-related securities to be substantially high grade and     
   upper-medium grade securities (equivalent to A or better by Moody's     
   Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's) or Standard & Poor's Corporation
    
   (S&P)) and limited its investments in lower-quality securities to
20%     
   of the fund's total assets. The newly approved non-fundamental policy
    
   permits the fund to invest  primarily in investment-grade securities
(rated     
   Baa or above by Moody's or BBB or above by S&P, and unrated     
   securities judged by FMR to be of equivalent quality) and to invest up
to     
   35% of its total assets in lower-quality securities.    
   Shareholders approved proposals that made all of the investment policies
    
   of the fund (except the investment objective) non-fundamental.      
   Non-fundamental policies can be changed without shareholder approval. 
    
   The amended policies became effective immediately upon shareholder     
   approval on July 13, 1994.    
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTS THAT FOUND IN THE "INVESTMENT 
REQUIREMENTS TO REMEMBER" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 14:
The minimum initial or subsequent investment may vary for a Fidelity 
Payroll Deduction Program account in Fidelity Ginnie Mae Portfolio.
