SUPPLEMENT TO THE FIDELITY TARGET TIMELINE FUNDS(trademark)
SEPTEMBER 25, 1997
STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REPLACES SIMILAR INFORMATION FOUND IN THE
"DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 19.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the fund
on the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are
federally taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length
of time shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives
a capital gain distribution on shares of the fund, and such shares are
held six months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the
loss equal to the amount of the capital gain distribution will be
considered a long-term loss for tax purposes. Short-term capital gains
distributed by the fund are taxable to shareholders as dividends, not
as capital gains.
