Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
On February 28, 1997, an Edgarized 497 filing was inadvertently made on
behalf of PaineWebber Investment Series. This was done as a result of inputting
incorrect CIK and CCC numbers in the filing submission header. The filing was
accepted by the SEC at 15:45, Accession Number 0000928385-97-000388.
We respectfully request that the filing inadvertently made on behalf
of PaineWebber Investment Series, Accession Number 0000928385-97-000388,
CIK No. 0000808424, be disregarded.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at

Sincerely,
/s/ Jennifer Farrell
