Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, this is to certify
that each form of Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for the
Trust that would have been filed under Rule 497(c) does not differ from those
contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 32 to the Registration Statement on
Form N-1A (the "Post-Effective Amendment"), which was filed electronically
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2000. Each form of
Prospectus used reflects only the Series being offered but all forms of
prospectuses used are contained in the Post-Effective Amendment.
Sincerely,
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON
