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 on 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, which was the
most recent Amendment to the Registration Statement, filed electronically with
the Commission on April 13, 1994.


                                           Very truly yours,



                                           KEMPER UNIT INVESTMENT TRUSTS
