Re: Common Sense Trust Rule 497(j) Filing
(File Nos. 33-11716 and 811-5018)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Common Sense Trust (the "Registrant"), filed via EDGAR on February
28, 1997, a copy of Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 to the Registration
Statement on Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement") complete with
exhibits filed therewith pursuant to Rule 485(b) of the General Rules and
Regulations (the "1933 Act Rules") of the Securities and Exchange
Commission promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
In accordance with the provisions of Rule 497(j) of the 1933 Act
Rules this letter serves to certify that the prospectus and statement of
additional information contained in the Registration Statement do not
differ from that which would have been filed pursuant to Rule 497(c) of
the Securities Act.
Should the staff have any questions regarding the foregoing, please
do not hesitate to call me at (708) 684-6774.
Very truly yours,
