Dear Mr. McNeil:
On behalf of the Corporation, I hereby submit this application for
withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 14 filed pursuant to Rule
485(b)on May 23, 1996, under the Securities Act of 1933 (the `Act'') to
the Corporation's Registration Statement on Form N-1A.
The Amendment was erroneously filed to delay the effectiveness of
Post-Effective Amendment No. 13 filed on May 3, 1996, pursuant to Rule
485(b) of the Act.
Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 477(a) of the Act, this
application for withdrawal of Post Effective Amendment 14 has been signed
by the Assistant Secretary of the Corporation this 31st day of July, 1996.
This request was prepared pursuant to a conversation that took place
Friday, July 26, 1996 between Shukie Grossman and Patty Conner regarding
the above matter. If you have any questions regarding this application for
withdrawal, please contact Patty Conner at (412-288-4863).
Very truly yours,
