the shareholders of Spartan U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, Spartan
U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Spartan Money Market Fund will

proposed management contract modifications include a proposal to
modify the list of enumerated expenses borne directly by each fund

its    management contract subject to the requirements of the

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.
