Re: Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 to Registration
Statement on Form N-1A (File Nos. 33-41694 and 811-6352)
Dear Sir or Madam:
On December 18, 1996, Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 to Registration Statement
on Form N-1A (File No. 33-41694) was filed. The signature page to this
Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 was inadvertently left off the filing (Accession
Number 0000950146-96-002294). We respectfully request withdrawal of such
Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 pursuant to Rule 477 under the 1933 Act. We are
filing a Post-Effective Amendment No. 19 in substitution for Post-Effective
Amendment No. 18.
If you have any questions concerning this request, please contact Amy Doberman
at (860) 273-1409 or the undersigned at (860) 273-7834.
Sincerely,
/s/Susan E. Bryant
Susan E. Bryant
