SUPPLEMENT TO 
FIDELITY MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND'S
SEPTEMBER 20, 1996 PROSPECTUS
At a recent meeting, the Board of Trustees voted to allow Fidelity Mortgage
Securities Fund to create additional classes of shares that will be sold
primarily through financial intermediary distribution channels. The current
single existing class of shares of the fund, which will become known as the
"Initial Class," will be closed to new accounts effective on or about
February 28, 1997. Initial Class shareholders on or prior to that date,
including participants in an employee benefit plan which offered the fund
on or prior to that date (except participants in an employee benefit plan
for which an affiliate of FMR maintains the accounts at the participant
level other than pursuant to a recordkeeping agreement), will continue to
be able to purchase Initial Class shares of the fund.

    FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE    of
$12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an annual
maximum charge of $24.00 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. This fee will not be
deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except
non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment
plans, or if total assets in Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the
$30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity 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 Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
    IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW    $    2,000   , you will be given
30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase
your balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send
the proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the day
your account is closed.
