The following text is added to the section entitled "PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND
PRICING OF SHARES":

PURCHASES AT NET ASSET VALUE.  The following amounts will be paid by FTD, from
its own resources, to securities dealers who initiate and are responsible for
purchases of $1 million or more and for purchases made at net asset value by 
certain designated retirement plans (excluding IRA and IRA rollovers), cer-
tain trust companies and trust departments of banks and certain retirement 
plans of organizations with collective retirement plan assets of $10 million
or more: 1.00% on sales of $1 million but less $2 million, plus 0.80% on 
sales of $2 million but less than $3 million, plus 0.50% on sales of $3 
million but less than $50 million, plus 0.25% on sales of $50 million but less
than $100 million, plus 0.15% on sales of $100 million or more. Dealer 
concession breakpoints are reset every 12 months for purposes of additional
purchases.

As described in the Prospectus, FTD or its affiliates may make payments, from
its own resources, to securities dealers responsible for certain purchases
at net asset value. As a condition of such payments, FTD or its affiliates 
may require reimbursement from such securities dealers with respect to certain 
redemptions made within 12 months of the calendar month following purchase as
 well as other conditions, all of which  may be imposed by an agreement bet-
ween FTD, or its affiliates, and the securities dealer.

The text of the section entitled "PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES-
LETTER OF INTENT" is deleted and replaced with the following:  

Purchasers who intend to invest $50,000 or more in Shares of the Fund or any
other fund in the Franklin Templeton Group (except Templeton Capital Accumulator
Fund, Inc., Templeton Variable Annuity Fund, Templeton Variable Products Series
Fund, Franklin Valuemark Funds and Franklin Government Securities Trust) within
13 months (whether in one lump sum or in installments, the first of which may 
not be less than 5% of the total intended amount and each subsequent 
installment not less than $25 unless the investor is a qualifying employee 
benefit plan (the "Benefit Plan"), including automatic investment and payroll
deduction plans), and to beneficially hold the total amount of such Shares 
fully paid for and outstanding simultaneously for at least one full business
day before the expiration of that period, should execute a Letter of Intent 
("LOI") on the form provided in the Shareholder Application in the Prospectus.
 Payment for not less than 5% of the total intended amount must accompany the 
executed LOI unless the investor is a Benefit Plan.  Except for purchases of 
Shares by a Benefit Plan, those Shares purchased with the first 5% of the 
intended amount stated in the LOI will be held as "Escrowed Shares" for as 
long as the LOI remains unfulfilled.  Although the Escrowed Shares are 
registered in the investor's name, his full ownership of them is conditional
upon fulfillment of the LOI.  No Escrowed Shares can be redeemed by the 
investor for any purpose until the LOI is fulfilled or terminated.  If the 
LOI is terminated for any reason other than fulfillment,the Transfer Agent 
will redeem that portion of the Escrowed Shares required and apply the 
proceeds to pay any adjustment that may be appropriate to the  sales commission
on all Shares (including the Escrowed Shares) already purchased under the LOI 
and apply any unused balance to the investor's account.  The LOI is not a 
binding obligation to purchase any amount of Shares, but its execution will
result in the purchaser paying a lower sales charge at the appropriate 
quantity purchase level.  A purchase not originally made pursuant to an LOI 
may be included under a subsequent LOI executed within 90 days of such 
purchase. In this case, an adjustment will be made at the end of 13 months
from the effective date of the LOI at the net asset value per Share then in 
effect, unless the investor makes an earlier written request to the Principal
Underwriter upon fulfilling the purchase of Shares under the LOI.  In 
addition, the aggregate value of any Shares purchased prior to the 90-day 
period referred to above may be applied to purchases under a current LOI in 
fulfilling the total intended purchases under the LOI.  However, no adjust-
ment of sales charges previously paid on purchases prior to the 90-day period
will be made.  

If an LOI is executed on behalf of a benefit plan (such plans are described 
under "How to Buy Shares of the Fund - Net Asset Value Purchases" in the 
Prospectus), the level and any reduction in sales charge for these employee 
benefit plans will be based on actual plan participation and the projected 
investments in the Franklin Templeton Group (except Templeton Capital 
Accumulator Fund, Inc., Templeton Variable Annuity Fund, Templeton Variable 
Products Series Fund, Franklin Valuemark Funds and Franklin Government 
Securities Trust) under the LOI. Benefit Plans are not subject to the 
requirement to reserve 5% of the total intended purchase, or to any penalty
as a result of the early termination of a plan, nor are Benefit Plans 
entitled to receive retroactive adjustments in price for investments made
before executing LOIs.
