It is proposed that this filing will become effective on June 9, 2000 pursuant
to a request for acceleration, but in any event no later than June 24, 2000.
No filing fee is required under the Securities Act of 1933 because an indefinite
number of shares of beneficial interest in the Registrant, without par value,
has previously been registered pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Registrant filed on August 13, 1999, the
