   The fund may invest a portion of its assets in obligations that are
subject to state or federal income taxes. When the fund invests in these
obligations, its tax-equivalent yield will be lower. In the table above,
the tax-equivalent yields are calculated assuming investments are 100%
federally and state tax-free.

* Information is as of December 31, 1996 for 235 funds in the complex.
** Interested Trustees of the fund are compensated by FMR.
*** Richard J. Flynn and Edward H. Malone served on the Board of Trustees
through December 31, 1996.
**** During the period from May 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996, William
O. McCoy served as a Member of the Advisory Board of the trust.
A  Compensation figures include cash, a pro rata portion of benefits
accrued under the retirement program for the period ended December 30, 1996
and required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the
election of Trustees.
B The following amounts are required to be deferred by each non-interested
Trustee, most of which is subject to vesting: Ralph F. Cox, $4, Phyllis
Burke Davis, $4, Richard J. Flynn, $0, E. Bradley Jones, $4, Donald J.
Kirk, $4, Gerald C. McDonough, $4, Edward H. Malone, $4, Marvin L. Mann,
$4, and Thomas R. Williams, $4.
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988 and modified in November
1995 and November 1996, each non-interested Trustee who retired before
December 30, 1996 may receive payments from a Fidelity fund during his or
her lifetime based on his or her basic trustee fees and length of service.
The obligation of a fund to make such payments is neither secured nor
funded. A Trustee became eligible to participate in the program at the end
of the calendar year in which he or she reached age 72, provided that, at
the time of retirement, he or she had served as a Fidelity fund Trustee for
at least five years.
The non-interested Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a
percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of a Deferred
Compensation Plan (the Plan). Under the Plan, compensation deferred by a
Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been
invested and reinvested in shares of one or more funds in the complex
designated by such Trustee (designated securities). The amount paid to the
Trustee under the Plan will be determined based upon the performance of
such investments. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a
negligible effect on the fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per
share, and will not obligate the funds to retain the services of any
Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the Trustee. The
funds may invest in such designated securities under the Plan without
shareholder approval.
As of December 30, 1996, the non-interested Trustees terminated the
retirement program for Trustees who retire after such date. In connection
with the termination of the retirement program, each existing
non-interested Trustee received a credit to his or her Plan account equal
to the present value of the estimated benefits that would have been payable
under the retirement program. The amounts credited to the non-interested
Trustees' Plan accounts are subject to vesting. The termination of the
retirement program and related crediting of estimated benefits to the
Trustees' Plan accounts did not result in a material cost to the funds.

* Information is as of December 31, 1996 for 235 funds in the complex.
** Interested Trustees of the fund are compensated by FMR.
*** Richard J. Flynn and Edward H. Malone served on the Board of Trustees
through December 31, 1996.
**** During the period from May 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996, William
O. McCoy served as a Member of the Advisory Board of each trust.
A Compensation figures include cash, a pro rata portion of benefits accrued
under the retirement program for the period ended December 30, 1996 and
required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election
of Trustees.
B The following amounts are required to be deferred by each non-interested
Trustee, most of which is subject to vesting: Ralph F. Cox, $2, Phyllis
Burke Davis, $2, Richard J. Flynn, $0, E. Bradley Jones, $2, Donald J.
Kirk, $2, Gerald C. McDonough, $2, Edward H. Malone, $2, Marvin L. Mann,
$2, and Thomas R. Williams, $2.
C The following amounts are required to be deferred by each non-interested
Trustee, most of which is subject to vesting: Ralph F. Cox, $4, Phyllis
Burke Davis, $4, Richard J. Flynn, $0, E. Bradley Jones, $4, Donald J.
Kirk, $4, William O. McCoy, $0, Gerald C. McDonough, $4, Edward H. Malone,
$4, Marvin L. Mann, $4, and Thomas R. Williams, $4.
Under a retirement program adopted in July 1988 and modified in November
1995 and November 1996, each non-interested Trustee who retired before
December 30, 1996 may receive payments from a Fidelity fund during his or
her lifetime based on his or her basic trustee fees and length of service.
The obligation of a fund to make such payments is neither secured nor
funded. A Trustee became eligible to participate in the program at the end
of the calendar year in which he or she reached age 72, provided that, at
the time of retirement, he or she had served as a Fidelity fund Trustee for
at least five years.
The non-interested Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a
percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of a Deferred
Compensation Plan (the Plan). Under the Plan, compensation deferred by a
Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been
invested and reinvested in shares of one or more funds in the complex
designated by such Trustee (designated securities). The amount paid to the
Trustee under the Plan will be determined based upon the performance of
such investments. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a
negligible effect on the fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per
share, and will not obligate the funds to retain the services of any
Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the Trustee. The
funds may invest in such designated securities under the Plan without
shareholder approval.
As of December 30, 1996, the non-interested Trustees terminated the
retirement program for Trustees who retire after such date. In connection
with the termination of the retirement program, each existing
non-interested Trustee received a credit to his or her Plan account equal
to the present value of the estimated benefits that would have been payable
under the retirement program. The amounts credited to the non-interested
Trustees' Plan accounts are subject to vesting. The termination of the
retirement program and related crediting of estimated benefits to the
Trustees' Plan accounts did not result in a material cost to the funds.
