          Supplement to Statement of Additional Information dated March 1,

          _________________________________________________________________

               The section entitled "Pricing of Securities" beginning on
          page 59 has been revised to read as follows:

                                PRICING OF SECURITIES

          Limited-Term and GNMA Funds

               Fixed income securities are generally traded in the over-
          the-counter market.  Investments in domestic securities with
          remaining maturities of one year or more and foreign securities
          are stated at fair value using a bid-side valuation as furnished
          by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an
          independent pricing service, which considers yield or price of
          bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well
          as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. 
          Domestic securities with remaining maturities less than one year
          are stated at fair value which is determined by using a matrix
          system that establishes a value for each security based on bid-
          side money market yields.

               There are a number of pricing services available, and the
          Board of Directors, on the basis of ongoing evaluation of these
          services, may use or may discontinue the use of any pricing
          service in whole or in part.

          Cash Reserves Fund

               Securities are valued at amortized cost.

          Limited-Term Fund

               For the purposes of determining the Fund's net asset value
          per share, all assets and liabilities initially expressed in
          foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the mean of
          the bid and offer prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars
          quoted by any major bank.




















          PAGE 2
          All Funds

               Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation
          procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair
          value are stated at fair value, as determined in good faith by or
          under the supervision of officers of the Funds, as authorized by
          the Board of Directors.

                 Maintenance of Cash Reserves Fund's Net Asset Value
                                  Per Share at $1.00

               It is the policy of the Fund to attempt to maintain a net
          asset value of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method
          of valuation permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company
          Act of 1940.  Under this method, securities are valued by
          reference to the Fund's acquisition cost as adjusted for
          amortization of premium or accumulation of discount rather than
          by reference to their market value.  Under Rule 2a-7:

               (a)  The Board of Directors must establish written
               procedures reasonably designed, taking into account current
               market conditions and the fund's investment objectives, to
               stabilize the fund's net asset value per share, as computed
               for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase,
               at a single value;

               (b)  the Fund must (i) maintain a dollar-weighted average
               portfolio maturity appropriate to its objective of
               maintaining a stable price per share, (ii) not purchase any
               instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 397 days,
               and (iii) maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio
               maturity of 90 days or less;

               (c)  the Fund must limit its purchase of portfolio
               instruments, including repurchase agreements, to those U.S.
               dollar-denominated instruments which the Fund's Board of
               Directors determines present minimal credit risks, and which
               are eligible securities as defined by Rule 2a-7; and

               (d)  the Board of Directors must determine that (i) it is in
               the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to
               maintain a stable net asset value per share under the
               amortized cost method; and (ii) the Fund will continue to
               use the amortized cost method only so long as the Board of
               Directors believes that it fairly reflects the Fund's market
               based net asset value per share.

               Although the Fund believes that it will be able to maintain
          its net asset value at $1.00 per share under most conditions, 
















          PAGE 3
          there can be no absolute assurance that it will be able to do so 
          on a continuous basis.  If the Fund's net asset value per share
          declined, or was expected to decline, below $1.00 (rounded to the
          nearest one cent), the Board of Directors of the Fund might
          temporarily reduce or suspend dividend payments in an effort to
          maintain the net asset value at $1.00 per share.  As a result of
          such reduction or suspension of dividends, an investor would
          receive less income during a given period than if such a
          reduction or suspension had not taken place.  Such action could
          result in an investor receiving no dividend for the period during
          which he holds his shares and in his receiving, upon redemption,
          a price per share lower than that which he paid.  On the other
          hand, if the Fund's net asset value per share were to increase,
          or were anticipated to increase above $1.00 (rounded to the
          nearest one cent), the Board of Directors of the Fund might
          supplement dividends in an effort to maintain the net asset value
          at $1.00 per share.
