On December 13, 1996, the Board of Trustees of the Smith Barney Equity

whereby the Fund would (i) institute a social awareness criteria for selecting
portfolio investments and (ii) maintain, under normal mconditions, between 65%
and 85% of its assets invested in equity securities and between 15% and 35%
invested in fixed-income securities. The primary social emphasis will be to
establish investments in companies that make a positive contribution to
society through their products and services or through the way they do
business. Apart from the additional overlay of social awareness criteria, the
Fund's current investment disciplines will remain the same and the Fund will
be managed by the same portfolio managers. The Trustees instructed that a
Special Meeting of shareholders of the Fund be held on February 14, 1997 for
the purpose of approving these changes.
