Gentlemen:

         In accordance with the provisions of Rule 497(j) of Regulation C under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") this letter serves to certify
that the most recent amendment to the registration statement of Form S-6 for the
above captioned Trust does not differ from that which would have been filed
pursuant to Rule 497(b) of the Securities Act. Amendment No. 1 to the
registration statement, which was the most recent amendment to the registration
statement, was filed electronically with the Commission on October 27, 1998.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        VAN KAMPEN FUNDS INC.
