AT VANGUARD, WE BELIEVE THAT TRADITION MATTERS

Our 9,000 crew members embrace the traditional values on which our success is
built, including integrity, hard work, thrift, teamwork, and fair dealing on
behalf of our clients.

Our report cover pays homage to three anniversaries, each of great significance
to The Vanguard Group:

- - The 200th anniversary of the Battle of the Nile, which commenced on August 1,
  1798. HMS Vanguard, the victorious British flagship at the Nile, is our
  namesake. And its motto--"Leading the way"--serves as a guiding principle
  for our company.

- - The 100th birthday, on July 23, 1998, of Walter L. Morgan, founder of
  Wellington Fund, the oldest member of what became The Vanguard Group. Mr.
  Morgan was friend and mentor to Vanguard founder John C. Bogle, and helped to
  shape the standards and business principles that Mr. Bogle laid down for
  Vanguard at its beginning nearly 25 years ago: a stress on balanced,
  diversified investments; insistence on fair dealing and candor with clients;
  and a focus on long-term investing. To our great regret, Mr. Morgan died on
  September 2, 1998.

- - The 70th anniversary, on December 28, 1998, of the incorporation of Vanguard
  Wellington Fund. It is the nation's oldest balanced mutual fund, and one of
  only a handful of funds created in the 1920s that are still in operation.

Although Vanguard constantly tackles new challenges, adopts new technology, and
develops new services, we treasure the traditions and values that set us apart
in a crowded, competitive industry. And we salute our shareholders, whose
support and trust we strive to earn each and every day.

During the first half of the Vanguard New Jersey Tax- Exempt Funds' 1999 fiscal
year, municipal bond prices dipped in the face of rising interest rates. These
lower prices offset most of the interest income earned by tax-exempt securities
during the six months ended May 31, 1999, and resulted in relatively modest
total returns on municipal bonds for the period.

      In this environment, our Insured Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund earned a
six-month total return (capital change plus reinvested dividends) of +1.1%, and
our Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund earned +1.4%. The adjacent table presents the
half-year returns for both funds, along with those of their average peers. As
you can see, the returns of our funds outpaced those of similar mutual funds.

      The total return of the Insured Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund is based on a
decrease in net asset value from $11.98 per share on November 30, 1998, to
$11.76 per share on May 31, 1999, and is adjusted for dividends totaling $0.294
per share paid from net investment income and a distribution of $0.052 per
share paid from net realized capital gains. The Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund's
net asset value remained at $1.00 per share, as is expected but not guaranteed.
On May 31, the Insured Long-Term Fund's yield stood at 4.46%, and the Money
Market Fund's yield was at 2.90%.

      For New Jersey residents, income earned by our funds is exempt from
federal and New Jersey State income taxes, but may be subject to local taxes
and the Alternative Minimum Tax.

THE PERIOD IN REVIEW

The U.S. economy steamed ahead during the half-year as consumers continued
spending at a breakneck pace and the manufacturing sector showed signs of
recovering from last fall's woes. Economic growth expanded at an annual rate of
4.3% during the first three months of 1999, while both unemployment and
inflation remained low. The Wilshire 5000 Equity Index, which tracks the entire
U.S. stock market, gained +13.2% for the six months.

      While the strong growth pace was regarded enthusiastically by the stock
market, it was hardly welcome news in the bond market, where investors feared
that higher inflation would result from an overheated economy. These concerns
drove interest rates higher and bond prices lower. The yield of the benchmark
30-year U.S. Treasury bond climbed from its starting point of 5.06% on November
30, 1998, to 5.83% on May 31--a significant increase of 77 basis points. At the
shorter end of the bond spectrum, the yield of 3-month Treasury bills rose by
15 basis points to close the period at 4.63%.

                                       1

<PAGE>   4

      Though yields of municipal bonds also rose, the climb was not as steep as
for Treasuries. Yields on high-grade long-term municipal bonds ended the
half-year at 5.16%, up from 4.89% when the period began. Yields on top-grade
(MIG-1) 3-month notes rose on balance to 3.15% from 2.95% six months earlier.

      Municipal bonds continue to offer excellent value relative to U.S.
Treasuries, although they are not quite as attractive as they were six months
ago. On May 31, the yield of a high-grade, long-term municipal bond was equal
to about 89% of the yield of the 30-year U.S. Treasury, whose interest is
subject to federal income tax. This proportion has historically been about 84%.
Early in the period, however, it was about 97%, largely because Treasury yields
had been driven lower by heavy buying from investors who fled riskier
securities.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

Our Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund's six-month return of +1.4% topped the +1.2%
return of the average New Jersey tax-exempt money market fund. Our margin over
our average peer can be explained by our much lower expenses.

      The +1.1% total return achieved by the Insured Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
consisted of a +2.5% income return and a price decline of -1.4%, which
reflected the rise in interest rates. The fund's performance was better than
the +0.2% return of the average New Jersey municipal bond fund and even topped
the +0.8% return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. Our
outperformance of the Lehman index is notable because the index exists outside
the "real world" of operating expenses and transaction costs and therefore is a
tough standard for all state tax-exempt funds.

      Of course, interest rate fluctuations--up and down--are to be expected.
In our letter to you six months ago, we explained that declining interest rates
gave a boost to bond prices, resulting in an excellent fiscal 1998 total return
of +7.6% for the Insured Long-Term Fund. Over time, however, the effects of
rate variations tend to be offsetting, leaving the rate of interest income as
the chief source of long-term bond returns.

      A six-month period is too short to provide a complete picture of a bond
fund's return. This is because only half of the year's interest income is
accounted for, while the price changes engendered by shifts in interest rates
are fully reflected. Consequently, investors should consider a full year's
interest income as part of a semiannual review. During the twelve months ended
May 31, 1999, our Insured Long-Term Fund earned a total return of +4.7%,
consisting of an income return of +5.0% and a negative capital return of -0.3%.

      Our low costs play a critical role in our success. Our funds have
annualized expense ratios (expenses as a percentage of average net assets) of
about 0.20%, compared with 1.01% charged by the average long-term New Jersey
tax-exempt bond fund and 0.65% for the average New Jersey tax-exempt money
market fund. Costs matter because they are deducted from the income earned by
the fund. Therefore, lower operating expenses mean that a higher percentage of
the gross interest income is passed along to shareholders.

    Also instrumental in our long-term success is the skillful management of
Vanguard Fixed Income Group, which selects the securities for our funds. Our
Insured Long-Term Fund invests predominantly in bonds that carry private
insurance guaranteeing the payment of principal and interest in the event that
a bond issuer defaults on its debt obligations. Though these securities offer
slightly lower gross yields than noninsured bonds, our low costs historically
have made up the difference--and then some. This cost advantage has allowed our
fund to provide net returns that are fully competitive with those of
uninsured--and thus, lower-quality--municipal bond portfolios.

IN SUMMARY

The swift rise in interest rates over the past several months is not an
aberration but rather a normal, if unpleasant, part of the cyclicality of the
financial markets. The variable nature of both bond and stock markets is the
reason we continuously counsel shareholders to hold balanced portfolios
suitable to their goals, time horizon for investing, and tolerance for risk.
Building such a program and then sticking with it through good times and bad is
a prudent, and ultimately rewarding, method of confronting the ever-present
volatility of the financial markets.

      We look forward to reporting to you on the full 1999 fiscal year six
months hence.

THE MARKETS IN PERSPECTIVE
SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1999

[PHOTO]

Sentiment shifted on the world's financial markets during the six months ended
May 31, 1999. The period began amid lingering anxiety over the state of the
world economy. Japan was in recession, economic growth was only sluggish in
Europe, and many developing nations were crisis-ridden. The United States was
just about the sole bright spot.

      However, as the period progressed and reports showed rapid growth in U.S.
business activity, there was an evident reduction in anxiety. Midway through
the period, leadership in the U.S. stock market shifted away from a relatively
narrow group of large growth stocks regarded as relatively recession-proof and
toward cyclical stocks that had been depressed by fears of recession and by
falling demand from overseas markets. As confidence in global economic growth
grew, interest rates rose and bond prices declined in the United States due to
expectations that the Federal Reserve Board would raise interest rates to ward
off a potential surge in inflation. Internationally, however, a growing
conviction that the worst was over led to solid gains for stock markets in
Japan and several emerging markets.

U.S. STOCK MARKETS

Stock prices climbed during the half-year, reflecting the healthy domestic
economy and investors' confidence in future growth of corporate profits. The
overall market, as measured by the Wilshire 5000 Index, rose 13.2% during the
period, while the S&P 500 Index, a barometer for large-capitalization stocks,
gained 12.6%.

*Annualized.

      During the early part of the semiannual period, stock investors favored
large-cap growth stocks--a group perceived as less subject to harm during an
economic downturn. In the United States, the Federal Reserve had already cut
short-term rates by a total of 0.75 percentage point in the autumn. Foreign
central banks continued cutting rates into the new year to combat sluggish
economic conditions in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Late in the semiannual
period, U.S. investors were rewarded for their earlier optimism with a series
of surprisingly strong gains in corporate earnings--a record percentage of
companies in the S&P 500 reported earnings that beat analysts' estimates.


                                       4

<PAGE>   7


      Throughout the period, U.S. consumers provided support for the global
economy: Spending by consumers continued to set records, and American
households on average spent nearly every dollar of income they earned. The
upbeat mood stemmed from a bright employment picture (unemployment hovered near
30-year lows) and rising incomes.

      Improved prospects for global economic growth propelled several formerly
lackluster areas of the stock market, particularly commodity-related companies
and "cyclical" companies such as machinery, chemical, and paper manufacturers.
Higher oil prices, boosted by firmer demand and by agreement among
oil-producing nations to limit production, revived the "other energy" and
integrated-oils sectors, which gained about 36% and 16%, respectively.
Technology stocks, up 26% for the six months, were the market's leaders, but
most of the sector's gains came during the first three months of the period.
Consumer-staples companies, beset by tough price competition and hurt by the
stronger U.S. dollar in Europe, were the worst-performing group in the
half-year, down about 7%.

U.S. BOND MARKETS

For bond investors, the powerful economic expansion evident during the
half-year was too much of a good thing. Although the inflation rate did not get
out of hand--consumer prices rose 1.3% during the six months and were up 2.1%
for the twelve months ended May 31--investors were worried that low
unemployment (4.2% of the labor force in May) would trigger an acceleration in
wages and push up prices.

      Yields on U.S. Treasury bonds, which had fallen during the summer and
early fall of 1998 as investors flocked to what they regarded as a haven from
instability in other markets, rose by three-quarters of a percentage point or
more. The yield of the 30-year Treasury bond rose 77 basis points, to 5.83% on
May 31 from 5.06% on November 30, 1998. The yield of the 10-year Treasury rose
91 basis points, to 5.62% from 4.71%. Short-term rates didn't rise as far:
Yields on 3-month T-bills were up on balance by only 15 basis points, to 4.63%
on May 31. Bond prices, which move in the opposite direction from interest
rates, fell. The Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, a benchmark for investment-grade
taxable bonds, declined 0.8% on a total-return basis, as bond prices declined
an average of 3.8%, outweighing the 3.0% in interest income for the period.

      Municipal bonds suffered only modest price declines and outperformed
Treasury securities during the period--a switch from the previous six months,
when Treasuries were the strongest segment of the bond market.

INTERNATIONAL STOCK MARKETS

Most overseas stock markets generated positive returns during the six months,
despite lingering economic weakness in Asia and sluggish growth in most of
Europe's developed economies. However, the strong rise in the value of the U.S.
dollar against European currencies negated most of the advances in that region
for U.S. investors. Emerging markets generally rebounded strongly, having
suffered steep losses in 1997 and 1998.

      Overall, the developed markets outside the United States gained 4.2% in
U.S.-dollar terms, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International
Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index. The biggest increases were in the
Pacific region and in emerging markets, where investors saw hopeful signs of
economic recovery. The MSCI Pacific Index rose 14.2% in U.S.-dollar terms,
despite a continuing recession in Japan. The MSCI Select Emerging Markets Free
Index climbed 19.0%. European stocks were up a scant 0.3% in dollar terms, as
gains of about 8% in local currencies were diminished by the dollar's rise
against the euro--a common currency adopted by 11 nations--and other regional
currencies.

REPORT FROM THE ADVISER

[PHOTO]

During the fiscal half-year ended May 31, 1999, interest rates rose as
investors became worried that the strong growth of the U.S. economy might lead
to an acceleration in the inflation rate. As the period progressed, the U.S.
economy's growth rate slowed, but remained strong.

      On the inflation front, investors' fears seemed misplaced until May, when
the Consumer Price Index came in above expectations. Soon after, the Federal
Reserve Board announced that it had adopted a bias toward a tighter monetary
policy, meaning that it was more likely to raise interest rates in the coming
months than to lower them. A decision to raise short-term interest rates would,
if taken, be aimed at slowing growth and heading off increases in inflation.
The Fed's announcement marked the first time the agency had told the public
immediately about its adoption of a policy bias, rather than releasing the
information at a later date. As we reached the midpoint of our fiscal year,
interest rates were hovering around their highest levels of the period, and
market participants were waiting to see whether inflation and growth statistics
would prompt the Fed to act on its tightening bias.

      Municipal bonds outperformed U.S. Treasury bonds with equivalent
maturities during the half-year. The benchmark 30-year U.S. Treasury bond's
yield increased by 77 basis points, from 5.06% on November 30, 1998, to 5.83%
on May 31, 1999. The yield of a 30-year AAA-rated general obligation municipal
bond increased 27 basis points, from 4.89% to 5.16%, over the same period. The
municipal bond market's strong relative performance can be explained by two
factors. First, municipal bond yields at the start of the 1999 fiscal year were
very attractive compared with Treasury yields. The global forces that had
compelled investors to seek the safety of Treasuries during summer 1998 did not
carry over to the municipal market, which consequently underperformed
Treasuries last fiscal year. This set the stage for municipals' superior
performance in the ensuing six months. Second, there was a 24% decline in the
issuance of municipal bonds during the first five months of calendar year 1999
compared with the same period a year earlier.

THE INSURED LONG-TERM TAX-EXEMPT FUND

The supply of newly issued municipals varied widely by state. In New Jersey,
new bond issuance declined by about 10% compared with 1998. The supply of new
bonds declined for two reasons, both related to higher interest rates. First,
as rates rose, many issuers were no longer able to refinance older,
higher-coupon bonds by issuing new bonds at lower rates. Second, higher
interest rates made borrowing less attractive to bond issuers.

      All in all, municipal bonds had a strong half-year compared with other
types of bonds. Even so, high-quality, long-term municipals continue to be
attractive investments, with yields as of May 31, 1999, equivalent to a
relatively high 89% of the yield on long-term U.S. Treasury bonds. Given that
interest on municipal bonds is generally exempt from federal income tax,

                                       6


<PAGE>   9


while interest on Treasuries and corporate bonds is not, municipals provide a
better after-tax yield than any taxable bond of similar credit quality.

      Going forward, new municipal bond issuance is expected to remain low
through year-end. Also, as the outlook for growth and inflation becomes
clearer, the Fed should give more direction to the market. At the least, this
should reduce uncertainty and bring some comfort to the bond markets.

      The Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Funds' low operating costs and high
credit quality should stand our shareholders in good stead during this year's
turbulent bond markets.

THE TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND

The economy's strength and the resulting threat of inflation were foremost on
investors' minds throughout the first half of the fiscal year. Consequently,
the yield on 1-year U.S. Treasury bills increased 47 basis points to finish the
half-year at 4.97%. Municipal securities with similar maturities experienced a
19-basis-point increase in yields, to 3.18% as of May 31, 1999. We believe the
strength of the U.S. economy is tempered by continued economic uncertainty
abroad, so our fund remains in a neutral position in terms of its average
maturity. In addition to fundamental economic forces, cash flows had a
significant impact on short-term municipal securities.

      During the second quarter of the period, the annual onset of redemptions
by shareholders paying income tax liabilities contributed to the increase in
yields on short-term tax-exempt securities. In all, holders of state-specific
money market portfolios redeemed a net total of some $2.6 billion, or 4.4% of
assets, during the tax season, according to IBC Financial Data. As mutual funds
sold securities to meet these redemptions, the temporary oversupply of
short-term securities, coupled with a general rise in short-term interest rates
during late April and May, caused rates to rise significantly. Your management
used this opportunity to position the fund to benefit from the recent economic
trends, to further diversify its holdings, and to enhance its overall credit
quality.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The adviser believes that each fund, while operating within stated maturity and
stringent quality targets, can achieve a high level of current income that is
exempt from federal and New Jersey income taxes by investing in insured and
high-quality uninsured securities issued by New Jersey state, county, and
municipal governments.

AVERAGE COUPON. The average interest rate paid on the securities held by a
fund. It is expressed as a percentage of face value.

AVERAGE DURATION. An estimate of how much a bond fund's share price will
fluctuate in response to a change in interest rates. To see how the price could
shift, multiply the fund's duration by the change in rates. If interest rates
rise by one percentage point, the share price of a fund with an average
duration of five years would decline by about 5%. If rates decrease by a
percentage point, the fund's share price would rise by 5%.

AVERAGE MATURITY. The average length of time until bonds held by a fund reach
maturity (or are called) and are repaid. In general, the longer the average
maturity, the more a fund's share price will fluctuate in response to changes
in market interest rates.

AVERAGE QUALITY. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the
ratings assigned to a fund's securities holdings by credit-rating agencies. The
agencies make their judgment after appraising an issuer's ability to meet its
obligations. Quality is graded on a scale, with Aaa or AAA indicating the most
creditworthy bond issuers and A-1 or MIG-1 indicating the most creditworthy
issuers of money market securities.

BETA. A measure of the magnitude of a fund's past share-price fluctuations in
relation to the ups and downs of the overall market (or appropriate market
index). The market (or index) is assigned a beta of 1.00, so a fund with a beta
of 1.20 would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the overall
market rose or fell by 10%.

CASH RESERVES. The percentage of a fund's net assets invested in "cash
equivalents"--highly liquid, short-term, interest-bearing securities. This
figure does not include cash invested in futures contracts to simulate bond
investment.

DISTRIBUTION BY CREDIT QUALITY. This breakdown of a fund's securities by credit
rating can help in gauging the risk that returns could be affected by defaults
or other credit problems.

DISTRIBUTION BY MATURITY. An indicator of interest-rate risk. In general, the
higher the concentration of longer-maturity issues, the more a fund's share
price will fluctuate in response to changes in interest rates.

EXPENSE RATIO. The percentage of a fund's average net assets used to pay its
annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce
returns to investors.

INVESTMENT FOCUS. This grid indicates the focus of a fund in terms of two
attributes: average maturity (short, medium, or long) and average credit
quality (high, medium, or low).

NUMBER OF ISSUES. An indicator of diversification. The more separate issues a
fund holds, the less susceptible it is to a price decline stemming from the
problems of a particular issue.

R-SQUARED. A measure of how much of a fund's past returns can be explained by
the returns from the overall market (or its benchmark index). If a fund's total
return were precisely synchronized with the overall market's return, its
R-squared would be 1.00. If a fund's returns bore no relationship to the
market's returns, its R-squared would be 0.

YIELD. A snapshot of a fund's interest income. The yield, expressed as a
percentage of the fund's net asset value, is based on income earned over the
past 30 days (7 days for money market funds) and is annualized, or projected
forward for the coming year.

YIELD TO MATURITY. The rate of return an investor would receive if the
securities held by a fund were held to their maturity dates.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARIES

All of the data on this page represent past performance, which cannot be used
to predict future returns that may be achieved by the funds. Note that income
returns can fluctuate widely, as can the share price of the New Jersey Insured
Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund. An investment in a money market fund is not insured
or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your
investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the
fund.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1999 (UNAUDITED)

[PHOTO]

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

This Statement provides a detailed list of each fund's municipal bond holdings,
including each security's market value on the last day of the reporting period
and information on credit enhancements (insurance or letters of credit). Other
assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total
Municipal Bonds to calculate the fund's Net Assets. Finally, Net Assets are
divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share.

      At the end of the Statement of Net Assets, you will find a table
displaying the composition of the fund's net assets on both a dollar and
per-share basis. Undistributed Net Investment Income is usually zero because
the fund distributes its net income to shareholders as a dividend each day. Any
realized gains must be distributed annually, so the bulk of net assets consists
of Paid in Capital (money invested by shareholders). The balance shown for
Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximates the amount available to
distribute to shareholders as taxable capital gains as of the statement date,
but may differ because certain investments or transactions may be treated
differently for financial statement and tax purposes. Any Accumulated Net
Realized Losses, and any cumulative excess of distributions over net realized
gains, will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
is the difference between the value of the fund's investments and their cost,
and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell
all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

This Statement shows interest earned by each fund during the reporting period,
and details the operating expenses charged to the fund. These expenses directly
reduce the amount of investment income available to pay to shareholders as
tax-exempt income dividends. This Statement also shows any Net Gain (Loss)
realized on the sale of investments, and the increase or decrease in the
Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on investments during the period. If a
fund invested in futures contracts during the period, the results of these
investments are shown separately.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This Statement shows how each fund's total net assets changed during the two
most recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes information
detailed in the Statement of Operations. Because the fund distributes its income
to shareholders each day, the amounts of Distributions-- Net Investment Income
generally equal the net income earned as shown under the Operations section. The
amounts of Distributions--Realized Capital Gain may not match the capital gains
shown in the Operations section, because distributions are determined on a tax
basis and may be made in a period different from the one in which the gains were
realized on the financial statements. The Capital Share Transactions section
shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares
or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding
numbers of Shares Issued and Redeemed are shown at the end of the Statement.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This table summarizes each fund's investment results and distributions to
shareholders on a per-share basis. It also presents the fund's Total Return and
shows net investment income and expenses as percentages of average net assets.
These data will help you assess: the variability of the fund's net income and
total returns from year to year; the relative contributions of net income and
capital gains to the fund's total return; how much it costs to operate the fund;
and the extent to which the fund tends to distribute capital gains.

      The table also shows the Portfolio Turnover Rate, a measure of trading
activity. A turnover rate of 100% means that the average security is held in the
fund for one year. Money market funds are not required to report a Portfolio
Turnover Rate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Vanguard New Jersey Tax-Exempt Funds comprise the New Jersey Tax-Exempt Money
Market Fund and the New Jersey Insured Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, each of which
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment
company, or mutual fund. Each fund invests in debt instruments of municipal
issuers whose ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and
political developments in the state of New Jersey.

A. The following significant accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles for mutual funds. The funds consistently follow such
policies in preparing their financial statements.

   1. SECURITY VALUATION: Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund: Investment securities
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Insured
Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund: Bonds, and temporary cash investments acquired over
60 days to maturity, are valued using the latest bid prices or using valuations
based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices,
yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing
services. Other temporary cash investments are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued by methods deemed by the Board of Trustees to
represent fair value.

   2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company and distribute all of its income. Accordingly, no
provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

   3. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Insured Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund may use
Municipal Bond Index, U.S. Treasury Bond, and U.S. Treasury Note futures
contracts, with the objectives of enhancing returns, managing interest rate
risk, maintaining liquidity, diversifying credit risk, and minimizing
transaction costs. The fund may purchase or sell futures contracts instead of
bonds to take advantage of pricing differentials between the futures contracts
and the underlying bonds. The fund may also seek to take advantage of price
differences among bond market sectors by simultaneously buying futures (or
bonds) of one market sector and selling futures (or bonds) of another sector.
Futures contracts may also be used to simulate a fully invested position in the
underlying bonds while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The primary
risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation
between changes in market values of bonds held by the fund and the prices of
futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

      Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement
prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in
the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are
recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as an asset (liability) and in the
Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the
contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized futures gains
(losses).

   4. DISTRIBUTIONS: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily
and paid on the first business day of the following month. Annual distributions
from realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

   5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are
bought or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains (losses) on the sale of
investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Premiums and
original issue discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest
income over the lives of the respective securities.

B.  The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate
management, administrative, marketing, and distribution services. The costs of
such services are allocated to each fund under methods approved by the Board of
Trustees. Each fund has committed to provide up to

The funds' Trustees and officers are also Directors and officers of Vanguard.

C.  The funds' investment adviser may direct new issue purchases, subject to
obtaining the best price and execution, to underwriters who have agreed to
rebate or credit to the funds part of the underwriting fees generated. Such
rebates or credits are used solely to reduce the funds' management and
administrative expenses. The funds' custodian bank has also agreed to reduce
its fees when the funds maintain cash on deposit in their non-interest-bearing
custody accounts. For the six months ended May 31, 1999, these arrangements
reduced expenses by:

D.    During the six months ended May 31, 1999, the Insured Long-Term
Tax-Exempt Fund purchased $128,540,000 of investment securities and sold
$75,510,000 of investment securities, other than temporary cash investments.

E.    Capital gain distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ
from realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes due to differences
in the timing of realization of gains. The Insured Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
had realized losses totaling $3,919,000 through November 30, 1998, which are
deferred for tax purposes and reduce the amount of unrealized appreciation on
investment securities for tax purposes (see Note F).

F.    At May 31, 1999, net unrealized appreciation of Insured Long-Term
Tax-Exempt Fund investment securities for federal income tax purposes was
$57,130,000, consisting of unrealized gains of $60,226,000 on securities that
had risen in value since their purchase and $3,096,000 on securities that had
fallen in value since their purchase.

      At May 31, 1999, the aggregate settlement value of open futures contracts
expiring in June 1999 and the related unrealized appreciation were:

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS ABOUT Y2K

As is well known by now, the approaching calendar change to 2000 has posed a
challenge to many computer systems worldwide. Computers that are not modified
could interpret "00" as 1900 rather than 2000 and produce errors in
date-dependent calculations, including bond interest payments, stock trade
settlements, retirement benefits, and other financial transactions.

OUR APPROACH

Vanguard has taken this challenge seriously. We have had a Year 2000 Project
under way since 1996 to fulfill our responsibility to safeguard our business
relationships and the security of our investors' accounts.

      Our internal systems are Year 2000-compliant. They have been renovated
and thoroughly tested and are ready for the date change. As for the external
systems that connect with ours, we have been working for many months with
clients, business partners, and providers of products and services to assess
their compliance. We have analyzed the external services we require and have
developed contingency plans--including provision for alternative providers
where appropriate.

      On New Year's Day, our telephone centers will be staffed and ready for
shareholder calls. However, we expect the volume of inquiries over the New
Year's weekend to be high, and we encourage shareholders to check their
accounts via our website or automated telephone systems, which offer much
greater service capacity and efficiency. This will also help our live
representatives to provide a higher level of service to those with specific
transaction or other service-related needs.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

We assure you we will protect our shareholders' records, so account records
will not be lost. Nevertheless, keeping copies of current records is always
advisable. You should keep at least your third-quarter statement and any
confirmations you receive from us between October 1, 1999, and year-end.

      If you are a registered user of Access Vanguard(TM) (www.vanguard.com),
you can retrieve this information through the secure "Your Accounts" section
and print copies for your files. If you are not registered for Access Vanguard
and wish to have this flexibility, you should register as soon as possible so
that you can receive your password and become familiar with this service before
the New Year's weekend. Likewise, you may need personal identification numbers
to use our automated telephone services: Vanguard Tele-Account(R) for
individual investors (1-800-662-6273) and The VOICE(TM) Network for
participants in employer-sponsored retirement plans (1-800-523-1188).

      Our Year 2000 Project's primary goal from the start has been to prepare
our systems for business as usual on behalf of our shareholders into 2000 and
beyond. We remain confident we will meet that goal, and we look forward to
serving you in the years to come.

                              The Vanguard Group is
                             named for HMS Vanguard,
                        Admiral Horatio Nelson's flagship
                          at the Battle of the Nile on
                          August 1, 1798. Our founder,
                          John C. Bogle, chose the name
                        after reading Nelson's inspiring
                      tribute to his fleet: "Nothing could
                          withstand the squadron . . .
                       with the judgment of the captains,
                      together with their valour, and that
                        of the officers and men of every
                  description, it was absolutely irresistible."
