Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, I
certify that the form of statement of additional information filed under
paragraph (e) of Rule 497 does not differ from that contained in the Fund's
filing under paragraph (e) of Rule 497 filed electronically (Accession No.
0000887228-99-000014) on September 16, 1999. The electronic filing made on
behalf of the fund pursuant to Rule 497(j) (Accession No. 0001094522-99-00005)
on November 19, 1999 was made in error and should be disregarded.

Very truly yours,
