RULE 497(J) CERTIFICATION FOR DEFINITIVE PROSPECTUS AND STATEMENT OF
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 51
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Registrant named above has authorized us to certify to the Securities
and Exchange Commission, on its behalf, that the definitive Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information that would have been filed pursuant to Rule
497(c) with respect to Post-Effective Amendment No. 51 (the "Amendment") to its
Registration Statement on form N-1A would not have differed from the Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information included in said Amendment and, as
permitted under Rule 497(j), the Registrant has elected not to file a definitive
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information with respect to the
Amendment. For your information, the Amendment was accepted for filing on
April 30, 1999, and automatically became effective thereafter in accordance with
Rule 485(b).
If you have any questions with respect to this filing, please call the
undersigned at (414) 277-5309.
Very truly yours,
QUARLES & BRADY LLP
