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 July 23, 1996.

                                            Very truly yours,



                                            EVEREN UNIT INVESTMENT TRUSTS
