(18)     Rule 18f-3 Plan, as revised. . . . . . . . . . . . .



                           THE DREYFUS FAMILY OF FUNDS
                     (Premier Family of Fixed-Income Funds)

                                 Rule 18f-3 Plan

          Rule 18f-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"), requires that the Board of an investment company desiring to offer
multiple classes pursuant to said Rule adopt a plan setting forth the separate
arrangement and expense allocation of each class, and any related conversion
features or exchange privileges.

          The Board, including a majority of the non-interested Board members,
of each of the investment companies, or series thereof, listed on Schedule A
attached hereto (each, a "Fund") which desires to offer multiple classes has
determined that the following plan is in the best interests of each class
individually and the Fund as a whole:

          1. Class Designation: Fund shares shall be divided into Class A, Class
B and Class C.

          2. Differences in Services: The services offered to shareholders of
each Class shall be substantially the same, except that Right of Accumulation,
Letter of Intent, Reinvestment Privilege and Checkwriting services shall be
available only to holders of Class A shares.

          3. Differences in Distribution Arrangements: Class A shares shall be
offered with a front-end sales charge, as such term is defined in Article III,
Section 26(b), of the Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., and a deferred sales charge (a "CDSC"), as such term
is defined in said Section 26(b), may be assessed on certain redemptions of
Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge as part of an
investment of $1 million or more. The amount of the sales charge and the amount
of and provisions relating to the CDSC pertaining to the Class A shares are set
forth on Schedule B hereto.

          Class B shares shall not be subject to a front-end sales charge, but
shall be subject to a CDSC and shall be charged an annual distribution fee under
a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The
amount of and provisions relating to the CDSC, and the amount of the fees under
the Distribution Plan pertaining to the Class B shares, are set forth on
Schedule C hereto.

          Class C shares shall not be subject to a front-end sales charge, but
shall be subject to a CDSC and shall be charged an annual distribution fee under
a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The
amount of and provisions relating to the CDSC, and the amount of the fees under
the Distribution Plan pertaining to the Class C shares, are set forth on
Schedule D hereto.

          Each Class of shares shall be subject to an annual service fee at the
rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of such Class pursuant
to a Shareholder Services Plan.

          4. Expense Allocation. The following expenses shall be allocated, to
the extent practicable, on a Class-by-Class basis: (a) fees under the
Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan; (b) printing and postage
expenses related to preparing and distributing materials, such as shareholder
reports, prospectuses and proxies, to current shareholders of a specific Class;
(c) Securities and Exchange Commission and Blue Sky registration fees incurred
by a specific Class; (d) the expense of administrative personnel and services as
required to support the shareholders of a specific Class; (e) litigation or
other legal expenses relating solely to a specific Class; (f) transfer agent
fees identified by the Fund's transfer agent as being attributable to a specific
Class; and (g) Board members' fees incurred as a result of issues relating to a
specific Class.

          5. Conversion Features. Class B shares shall automatically convert to
Class A shares after a specified period of time after the date of purchase,
based on the relative net asset value of each such Class without the imposition
of any sales charge, fee or other charge, as set forth on Schedule E hereto. No
other Class shall be subject to any automatic conversion feature.

          6. Exchange Privileges. Shares of a Class shall be exchangeable only
for (a) shares of the same Class of other investment companies managed or
administered by The Dreyfus Corporation and (b) shares of certain other
investment companies specified from time to time.

the current net asset value of such Class B shares to an amount which is lower
than the dollar amount of all payments by the redeeming shareholder for the
purchase of Class B shares of the Fund held by such shareholder at the time of
redemption. No CDSC shall be imposed to the extent that the net asset value of
the Class B shares redeemed does not exceed (i) the current net asset value of
Class B shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gain
distributions, plus (ii) increases in the net asset value of the shareholder's
Class B shares above the dollar amount of all payments for the purchase of Class
B shares of the Fund held by such shareholder at the time of redemption.

          If the aggregate value of the Class B shares redeemed has declined
below their original cost as a result of the Fund's performance, a CDSC may be
applied to the then-current net asset value rather than the purchase price.

          In circumstances where the CDSC is imposed, the amount of the charge
shall depend on the number of years from the time the shareholder purchased the
Class B shares until the time of redemption of such shares. Solely for purposes
of determining the number of years from the time of any payment for the purchase
of Class B shares, all payments during a month shall be aggregated and deemed to
have been made on the first day of the month. The following table sets forth the
rates of the CDSC:


                                      CDSC as a % of
Year Since                            Amount Invested
Purchase Payment                      or Redemption
Was Made                                Proceeds

Sixth. . . . . . . . . . . . .           0.00

          In determining whether a CDSC is applicable to a redemption, the
calculation shall be made in a manner that results in the lowest possible rate.
Therefore, it shall be assumed that the redemption is made first of amounts
representing shares acquired pursuant to the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions; then of amounts representing the increase in net asset value of
Class B shares above the total amount of payments for the purchase of Class B
shares made during the preceding five years; then of amounts representing the
cost of shares purchased five years prior to the redemption; and finally, of
amounts representing the cost of shares held for the longest period of time
within the applicable five-year period.

Waiver of CDSC--The CDSC shall be waived in connection with (a) redemptions made
within one year after the death or disability, as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), of the shareholder,
(b) redemptions by employees participating in qualified or non-qualified
employee benefit plans or other programs where (i) the employers or affiliated
employers maintaining such plans or programs have a minimum of 250 employees
eligible for participation in such plans or programs, or (ii) such plan's or
program's aggregate investment in the Dreyfus Family of Funds or certain other
products made available by the Fund's Distributor exceeds one million dollars,
(c) redemptions as a result of a combination of any investment company with the
Fund by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise, and (d) a distribution
following retirement under a tax-deferred retirement plan or upon attaining age
70-1/2 in the case of an IRA or Keogh plan or custodial account pursuant to
Section 403(b) of the Code. Any Fund shares subject to a CDSC which were
purchased prior to the termination of such waiver shall have the CDSC waived as
provided in the Fund's prospectus at the time of the purchase of such shares.

Amount of Distribution Plan Fees--Class B Shares--.50 of 1% of the value of the
average daily net assets of Class B.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge--Class C Shares--A CDSC of 1.00% payable to the
Fund's Distributor shall be imposed on any redemption of Class C shares within
one year of the date of purchase. The basis for calculating the payment of any
such CDSC shall be the method used in calculating the CDSC for Class B shares.
In addition, the provisions for waiving the CDSC shall be those set forth for
Class B shares.

Amount of Distribution Plan Fees--Class C Shares--.75 of 1% of the value of the
average daily net assets of Class C.

Conversion of Class B Shares--Approximately six years after the date of
purchase, Class B shares automatically shall convert to Class A shares, based on
the relative net asset values for shares of each such Class, and shall no longer
be subject to the distribution fee. At that time, Class B shares that have been
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions ("Dividend
Shares") shall be converted in the proportion that a shareholder's Class B
shares (other than Dividend Shares) converting to Class A shares bears to the
total Class B shares then held by the shareholder which were not acquired
through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
