                                "The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate,
                                provided that this restriction does not prevent
                                the Fund from investing in issuers which invest,
                                deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in
                                real estate or interests therein, or investing
                                in securities that are secured by real estate or
                                interests therein. The Fund may exercise its
                                rights under agreements relating to such
                                securities, including the right to enforce
                                security interests and to hold real estate
                                acquired by reason of such enforcement until
                                that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly
                                manner."

                           (c)  Amended the Fund's fundamental investment
                                limitation regarding investing in commodities to

                                commodities. For purposes of this limitation,
                                the Fund does not consider financial futures
                                contracts to be commodities."

                           (d)  Amended the Fund's fundamental investment
                                limitation regarding underwriting securities to
                                read as follows:

                                "The Fund may not underwrite the securities of
                                other issuers, except that the Fund may engage
                                in transactions involving the acquisition,
                                disposition or resale of its portfolio
                                securities, under circumstances where it may be
                                considered to be an underwriter under the
                                Securities Act of 1933."

                           (e) Amended the Fund's fundamental investment
limitation regarding lending assets to read as follows:

                                "The Fund may not make loans, provided that this
                                restriction does not prevent the Fund from
                                purchasing debt obligations, entering into
                                repurchase agreements, lending its assets to
                                broker/dealers or institutional investors and
                                investing in loans, including assignments and
                                participation interests."

                           (f)  Amended the Fund's fundamental investment
                                limitation regarding concentration of the Fund's
                                investments in the securities of companies in
                                the same industry to read as follows:

                                "The Fund will not make investments that will
                                result in the concentration of its investments
                                in the securities of issuers primarily engaged
                                in the same industry. Government securities,
                                municipal securities and bank instruments will
                                not be deemed to constitute an industry. To
                                conform to the current view of the SEC that only
                                domestic bank instruments may be excluded from
                                industry concentration limitations, as a matter
                                of non-fundamental policy, the Fund will not
                                exclude foreign bank instruments from industry
                                concentration limits as long as the policy of
                                the SEC remains in effect. As a non-fundamental
                                operating policy, the Fund will consider
                                concentration to be the investment of more than
                                25% of the value of its total assets in any one
                                industry."

                           (g)  Amended, and made non-fundamental, the Fund's
                                fundamental limitation regarding pledging assets
                                to read as follows:

                                "The Fund will not mortgage, pledge, or
                                hypothecate any of its assets, provided that
                                this shall not apply to the transfer of
                                securities in connection with any permissible
                                borrowing or to collateral arrangements in
                                connection with permissible activities."

                           (h)  Amended, and made non-fundamental, the Fund's
                                fundamental investment limitation regarding
                                buying securities on margin to read as follows:

                                "The Fund will not purchase securities on
                                margin, provided that the Fund may obtain
                                short-term credits necessary for the clearance
                                of purchases and sales of securities."

                           (i)  Amended, and made non-fundamental, the Fund's
                                fundamental investment policies regarding the
                                types of money market instruments that the Fund
                                is permitted to purchase to read as follows:

                    "The Fund invests in a portfolio of money market instruments
                    maturing in 397 days or less." and

                                "The Fund invests in money market instruments
                                that are either rated in the two highest
                                short-term rating categories or the three
                                highest long-term rating categories by one or
                                more nationally recognized statistical rating
                                organizations or are of comparable quality to
                                securities having such ratings."

                           (j)  Amended, and made non-fundamental the Fund's
                                fundamental investment limitation regarding
                                investing in securities of other investment
                                companies to read as follows:

                    "The  Fund may  invest  its  assets in  securities  of other
                    investment companies."

                           (k)  Made non-fundamental the Fund's fundamental
                                investment policy regarding investing in U.S.
                                government securities.

                           (l) Made non-fundamental the Fund's fundamental

                           repurchase agreements or purchase time deposits
                           maturing in more than seven days, if immediately
                           after and as a result, the value of such securities
                           would exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the Fund's net

                           (d)  Amended the Fund's fundamental investment
                                limitation regarding investing in commodities to
                                read as follows:

                                "The Fund may not purchase or sell physical
                                commodities, provided that the Fund may purchase
                                securities of companies that deal in
                                commodities. For purposes of this limitation,
                                the Funds do not consider financial futures
                                contracts to be commodities."

                           (e)  Amended the Fund's fundamental investment
                                limitation regarding underwriting securities to
                                read as follows:

                                "The Fund may not underwrite the securities of
                                other issuers, except that the Fund may engage
                                in transactions involving the acquisition,
                                disposition or resale of its portfolio
                                securities, under circumstances where it may be
                                considered to be an underwriter under the
                                Securities Act of 1933."

                           (f) Amended the Fund's fundamental investment
limitation regarding lending assets to read as follows:

                                "The Fund may not make loans, provided that this
                                restriction does not prevent the Fund from
                                purchasing debt obligations, entering into
                                repurchase agreements, lending its assets to
                                broker/dealers or institutional investors and
                                investing in loans, including assignments and
                                participation interests."

                           (g)  Amended the Fund's fundamental investment
                                limitation regarding concentration of the Fund's
                                investments in the securities of companies in
                                the same industry to read as follows:

                                "The Fund will not make investments that will
                                result in the concentration of its investments
                                in the securities of issuers primarily engaged
                                in the same industry. Government securities,
                                municipal securities and bank instruments will
                                not be deemed to constitute an industry. To
                                conform to the current view of the SEC that only
                                domestic bank instruments may be excluded from
                                industry concentration limitations, as a matter
                                of non-fundamental policy, the Fund will not
                                exclude foreign bank instruments from industry
                                concentration limits as long as the policy of
                                the SEC remains in effect. As a non-fundamental
                                operating policy, the Fund will consider
                                concentration to be the investment of more than
                                25% of the value of its total assets in any one
                                industry."

                           (h)  Amended, and made non-fundamental, the Fund's
                                fundamental limitation regarding pledging assets
                                to read as follows:

                                "The Fund will not mortgage, pledge, or
                                hypothecate any of its assets, provided that
                                this shall not apply to the transfer of
                                securities in connection with any permissible
                                borrowing or to collateral arrangements in
                                connection with permissible activities."

                           (i)  Amended, and made non-fundamental, the Fund's
                                fundamental investment limitation regarding
                                buying securities on margin to read as follows:

                                "The Fund will not purchase securities on
                                margin, provided that the Fund may obtain
                                short-term credits necessary for the clearance
                                of purchases and sales of securities."

                     (2) Removed the Fund's fundamental investment limitation
regarding selling securities short

II.      The following actions were taken by the Board of Trustees with regard
         to non-fundamental investment limitations and policies:

                     (1)   Removed the Fund's non-fundamental investment
                           limitation regarding investing in the securities of a
                           company for the purpose of exercising control or
                           management.

                     (2)   Removed the Fund's non-fundamental investment
                           limitation regarding investing in puts, calls,
                           straddles, spreads, or any combination of them.

                     (3) Amended the Fund's non-fundamental investment
limitation regarding illiquid securities to read as follows:

                           "The Fund will not purchase securities for which
                           there is no readily available market, or enter into
                           repurchase agreements or purchase time deposits
                           maturing in more than seven days, if immediately
                           after and as a result, the value of such securities
                           would exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the Fund's net
                           assets."

                     (4)   Amended the Fund's non-fundamental investment
                           limitation regarding investing in securities of other
                           investment companies to read as follows:

                    "The  Fund may  invest  its  assets in  securities  of other
                    investment companies."

                     (5) Approved the elimination of the following undertaking
of the Fund:

                    "The Fund has no  present  intent to borrow  money or pledge
                    securities in excess of 5% of the value of its net assets."

                     (6)   Approved the addition of a non-fundamental investment
                           limitation as follows when applying the concentration
                           restriction to the Fund:

                           "(a) utility companies will be divided according to
                           their services, for example, gas, gas transmission,
                           electric and telephone will each be considered a
                           separate industry; (b) financial service companies
                           will be classified according to the end users of
                           their services, for example, automobile finance, bank
                           finance and diversified finance will each be
                           considered a separate industry; and (c) asset-backed
                           securities will be classified according to the
                           underlying assets securing such securities."

                     (7) Approved the addition of the following non-fundamental
investment policy:

                                "The Treasury Obligations Fund will pursue its
                                investment objective by investing only in a
                                portfolio of Treasury securities maturing in 397
                                days or less."

                     (8)   Approved the elimination of the Fund's
                           non-fundamental investment policy pertaining to
                           when-issued and delayed delivery transactions that
                           provides that the Fund will not engage in such
                           transactions to an extent that would cause the
                           segregation of more than 20% of the value of its
                           total assets.

                                                                 August 11, 1999
