          year following the purchase. Such payments are based
          on the original purchase price of the shares
          outstanding at each month end.
5.   Please delete the last sentence of the section entitled
     "Purchases With Proceeds From Redemption of Unaffiliated
     Investment Companies," which appears on page 9 of the
     prospectus, which states, "Federated Securities Corp. will
     offer to pay dealers an amount equal to .50 of 1% of the
     net asset value of shares purchased by their clients or
     customers in this manner."
6.   Please replace the section entitled "Exchange Privilege"
     on page 10 of the prospectus with the following:
          Exchange Privilege
          Shareholders may exchange all or some of their
          shares for Class A Shares in other funds in the
          Liberty Family of Funds.  Neither the Fund nor any
          of the funds in the Liberty Family of Funds
          imposes any additional fees on exchanges.
          Requirements for Exchange
          Shareholders using this privilege must exchange
          shares having a net asset value equal to the
          minimum investment requirements of the fund into
          which the exchange is being made.  Before the
          exchange, the shareholder must receive the
          prospectus of the fund into which the exchange is
          being made.  This privilege is available to
          shareholders resident in any state in which the
          fund shares being acquired may be sold.  Upon
          receipt of proper instructions and required
          supporting documents, shares submitted for
          exchange are redeemed and the proceeds invested in
          shares of the other fund.  The exchange privilege
          may be modified or terminated at any time.
          Shareholders will be notified of the modification
          or termination of the exchange privilege.
          Further information on the exchange privilege and
          prospectuses for the Liberty Family of Funds are
          available by contacting the Fund.
          Tax Consequences
          An exercise of the exchange privilege is treated
          as a sale for federal income tax purposes.
          Depending upon circumstances, a capital gain or
          loss may be realized.
          Making an Exchange
          Instructions for exchanges for the Liberty Family
          of Funds may be given in writing or by telephone.
          Written instructions may require a signature
          guarantee.  Shareholders of the Fund may have
          difficulty in making exchanges by telephone
          through brokers and other financial institutions
          during times of drastic economic or market
          changes.  If a shareholder cannot contact his
          broker or financial institution by telephone, it
          is recommended that an exchange request be made in
          writing and sent by overnight mail to Federated
          Services Company, State Street Bank and Trust
          Company, P.O. Box 8604, Boston, Massachusetts
          02266-8604.
          Telephone Instructions.   Telephone instructions
          made by the investor may be carried out only if a
          telephone authorization form completed by the
          investor is on file with the Fund.  If the
          instructions are given by a broker, a telephone
          authorization form completed by the broker must be
          on file with the Fund.  Shares may be exchanged
          between two funds by telephone only if the two
          funds have identical shareholder registrations.
          Telephone exchange instructions may be recorded.
          If reasonable procedures are not followed by the
          Fund, it may be liable for losses due to
          unauthorized or fraudulent telephone
          instructions.
          Any shares held in certificate form cannot be
          exchanged by telephone, but must be forwarded to
          Federated Services Company, State Street Bank and
          Trust Company, P.O. Box 8604, Boston,
          Massachusetts 02266-8604, and deposited to the
          shareholder's account before being exchanged.
          Telephone instructions will be processed by 4:00
          p.m. (Eastern Time) and must be received by the
          Fund before that time for shares to be exchanged
          the same day.  Shareholders exchanging into a fund
          will not receive any dividend that is payable to
          shareholders of record on that date.  This
          privilege may be modified or terminated at any
          time.
7.   Please delete the first paragraph of the section entitled
     "Redemption Fee" on page 12 of the prospectus and replace
     it with the following:
          Shareholders who purchased shares with the proceeds
          of a redemption of shares of a mutual fund sold with
          a sales charge and not distributed by Federated
          Securities Corp. prior to June 1, 1994, will be
          charged a contingent deferred sales charge by the
          Fund's distributor of .50 of 1% for redemptions made
          within one year of purchase. Purchases under the
          program made after that date will not be subject to
          any type of contingent deferred sales charge.
8.   Please insert the following as the final paragraph under
     the section entitled "Adviser's Background" on page 14 of
     the prospectus and add the sub-heading "Other Payments to
     Financial Institutions" to the Table of Contents after the
     sub-heading "Adviser's Background."
          Other Payments to Financial Institutions.   The
          distributor may offer to pay a fee from its own
          assets to financial institutions as financial
          assistance for providing substantial marketing
          and sales support.  The support may include
          sponsoring sales, educational and training
          seminars for their employees, providing sales
          literature, and engineering computer software
          programs that emphasize the attributes of the
          Fund.  Such assistance will be predicated upon
          the amount of Shares the financial institution
          sells or may sell, and/or upon the type and
          nature of sales or marketing support furnished by
          the financial institution.  Any payments made by
          the distributor may be reimbursed by the Fund's
          investment adviser or its affiliates.
9.   Please insert the following after the section entitled
     "Administrative Services" on page 14 of the prospectus and
     add the sub-heading "Shareholder Services Plan" to the
     Table of Contents after the sub-heading "Administrative
     Services.":
          Shareholder Services Plan.  The Fund has adopted a
          Shareholder Services Plan (the "Services Plan")
          under which it may make payments up to 0.25 of 1% of
          the average daily net asset value of the Fund to
          obtain certain personal services for shareholders
          and the maintenance of shareholder accounts
          ("shareholder services").  The Fund has entered into
          a Shareholder Services Agreement with Federated
          Shareholder Services, a subsidiary of Federated
          Investors, under which Federated Shareholder
          Services will either perform shareholder services
          directly or will select financial institutions to
          perform shareholder services.  Financial
          institutions will receive fees based upon shares
          owned by their clients or customers.  The schedules
          of such fees and the basis upon which such fees will
          be paid will be determined from time to time by the
          Fund and Federated Shareholder Services.
