Ladies and Gentlemen:

The form of prospectus and Statement of Additional  Information  that would have
been  filed  under  497(c)  is no  different  than the  text of the most  recent
registration  on Form N-1A that was filed  electronically  on May 1, 1997  under
Rule 485 (b). We certify that this is correct.


                                                          Yours truly,



                                                          Jerome L. Dodson
