PROSPECTUS
The following information replaces the similar information found in
the fifth paragraph under "Investment Principles and Risks" on page
12.
THE FUNDS comply with industry- standard requirements for the quality,
maturity, and diversification of their investments, which are designed
to help maintain a stable $1.00 share price. Of course, there is no
guarantee that the funds will maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
While the funds will be charged premiums by a mutual insurance company
for coverage of specified types of losses related to default or
bankruptcy on certain securities, a fund may incur losses regardless
of the insurance. The funds will purchase only high-quality securities
that FMR believes present minimal credit risks and will observe
maturity restrictions on securities they buy. In general, securities
with longer maturities are more vulnerable to price changes, although
they may provide higher yields. It is possible that a major change in
interest rates or a default on the funds' investments could cause
their share prices (and the value of your investment) to change.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTS THE INFORMATION FOUND IN THE
"INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 2.
MONEY MARKET INSURANCE. Each fund participates in a mutual insurance
company solely with other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. This
company provides insurance coverage for losses on certain money market
instruments held by a participating fund (eligible instruments),
including losses from nonpayment of principal or interest or a
bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer or credit support provider, if
any. The insurance does not cover losses resulting from changes in
interest rates or other market developments. Each fund is charged an
annual premium for the insurance coverage and may be subject to a
special assessment of up to approximately two and one-half times the
fund's annual gross premium if covered losses exceed certain levels. A
participating fund may recover no more than $100 million annually,
including all other claims of insured funds, and may only recover if
the amount of the loss exceeds 0.30% of its eligible instruments. Each
fund may incur losses regardless of the insurance.
