              Supplement  dated July 30,  1998 to the  Statement  of  Additional
    Information dated November 17, 1998



     This Supplement  dated July 30, 1998 to the Statement of Information  dated
November 17, 1997 changes the Statement of Additional Information as follows.

     1. The last paragraph within the section titled "Private Activity Municipal
Series" on page four is deleted and replaced with the following:

     The  Federal  alternative  minimum  tax is  designed  to  ensure  that  all
taxpayers pay some tax, even if their regular tax is zero.  This is accomplished
in part by including in taxable income certain tax preference  items in arriving
at  alternative  minimum  taxable  income.  The Tax Reform  Act made  tax-exempt
interest from certain private  activity bonds a tax preference item for purposes
of  the   alternative   minimum  tax  on  individuals  and   corporations.   Any
exempt-interest  dividend paid by a regulated investment company will be treated
as  interest  on  a  specific  private  activity  bond  to  the  extent  of  its
proportionate  share of the  interest on such bonds  received  by the  regulated
investment  company.  The U.S.  Treasury  is  authorized  to  issue  regulations
implementing  this provision.  In addition,  corporate  taxpayers subject to the
alternative  minimum  tax  may,  under  some  circumstances,   have  to  include
exempt-interest  dividends in  calculating  their  alternative  minimum  taxable
income in situations  where the "adjusted  current  earnings" of the corporation
exceeds its  alternative  minimum  taxable  income.  The Fund may hold Municipal
Securities  the  interest  on  which  (and  thus a  proportionate  share  of the
exempt-interest  dividends  paid by the Fund)  will be  subject  to the  Federal
alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations.
