RISK/RETURN SUMMARY

<TABLE>
<C>  <S>
 1.  WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?
     The Fund seeks interest income that is
     exempt from regular federal income taxes
     by investing in a fixed portfolio
     consisting primarily of municipal
     revenue bonds with an estimated average
     life of 3 years.

 2.  WHAT ARE MUNICIPAL REVENUE BONDS?
     Municipal revenue bonds are bonds issued
     by states, municipalities and public
     authorities to finance the cost of
     buying, building or improving various
     projects intended to generate revenue,
     such as airports, health care
     facilities, housing and municipal
     electric, water and sewer utilities.
     Generally, payments on these bonds
     depend solely on the revenues generated
     by the projects, excise taxes or state
     appropriations, and are not backed by
     the government's taxing power.

 3.  WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

  -  The Fund plans to hold to maturity 15
     short-intermediate term tax-exempt
     municipal bonds with a current aggregate
     face amount of $8,950,000.
  -  The Fund is a unit investment trust
     which means that, unlike a mutual fund,
     the Fund's portfolio is not managed.
  -  When the bonds were initially deposited
     (March 20, 1997), they were rated A or
     better by Standard & Poor's, Moody's or
     Fitch, or in the opinion of the agent
     for the Sponsors had similar credit
     quality to bonds rated A or better. THE
     CREDIT QUALITY OF THE BONDS MAY
     CURRENTLY BE LOWER.
  -  Some of the bonds can be called at a
     premium declining over time to par
     value. Some bonds may be called at par
     for extraordinary reasons.
  -  17% of the bonds are backed by bank
     letters of credit.
  -  52% of the bonds are insured by
     insurance companies.

     Letters of credit and insurance
     guarantee timely payments of principal
     and interest on the bonds (but not Fund
     units or the market value of the bonds
     before they mature).

     The Portfolio consists of municipal
     bonds of the following types:
</TABLE>

<TABLE>
  -  Airports/Ports/Highways                  34%
<C>  <S>
  -  Financial Institutions                    2%
  -  General Obligation                       21%
  -  Hospitals/Health Care                     4%
  -  Housing                                  13%
  -  Industrial Development Revenue          14%
  -  Lease Rental Appropriation                2%
  -  Moral Obligations                         8%
  -  Special Tax                               2%
</TABLE>

<TABLE>
<C>  <S>
 4.  WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS?

     YOU CAN LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE
     FUND. THIS CAN HAPPEN FOR VARIOUS
     REASONS, INCLUDING:
  -  Rising interest rates, an issuer's
     worsening financial condition or a drop
     in bond ratings can reduce the price of
     your units.
  -  Because the Fund is concentrated in
     airport/port/highway bonds, adverse
     developments in this sector may affect
     the value of your units.
  -  Assuming no changes in interest rates,
     when you sell your units, they will
     generally be worth less than your cost
     because your cost included a sales fee.
  -  The Fund will receive early returns of
     principal if bonds are called or sold
     before they mature. If this happens your
     income will decline and you may not be
     able to reinvest the money you receive
     at as high a yield or as long a
     maturity.
</TABLE>

<TABLE>
<C>  <S>
 5.  IS THIS FUND APPROPRIATE FOR YOU?

     Yes, if you want monthly income free
     from regular federal income tax. You
     will benefit from a professionally
     selected and supervised portfolio whose
     risk is reduced by investing in bonds of
     several different issuers.
     The Fund is NOT appropriate for you if
     you want a speculative investment that
     changes to take advantage of market
     movements, if you do not want a
     tax-advantaged investment, if you are
     subject to AMT or if you cannot tolerate
     any risk.

     managed and bonds are not sold because of market
     changes. Rather, experienced Defined Asset Funds
     financial analysts regularly review the bonds in
     the Fund. The Fund may sell a bond if certain
     adverse credit or other conditions exist.

 9.  HOW DO I BUY UNITS?

     The minimum investment is one unit.

<C>  <S>
     You can buy units from any of the Sponsors and
     other broker-dealers. The Sponsors are listed
     later in this prospectus. Some banks may offer
     units for sale through special arrangements with
     the Sponsors, although certain legal
     restrictions may apply.

<C>  <S>
     UNIT PRICE PER UNIT                 $873.58
     (as of February 29, 2000)

     Unit price is based on the net asset value of
     the Fund plus the sales fee. An amount equal to
     any principal cash, as well as net accrued but
     undistributed interest on the unit, is added to
     the unit price. An independent evaluator prices
     the bonds at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time every
     business day. Unit price changes every day with
     changes in the prices of the bonds in the Fund.

10.  HOW DO I SELL UNITS?

     You may sell your units at any time to any
     Sponsor or the Trustee for the net asset value
     determined at the close of business on the date
     of sale. You will not pay any other fee when you
     sell your units.

11.  HOW ARE DISTRIBUTIONS MADE AND TAXED?

     The Fund pays income monthly. In the opinion of
     bond counsel when each bond was issued, interest
     on the bonds in this Fund is generally 100%
     exempt from regular federal income tax.
     Interest on approximately 65% of the bonds will
     be taken into account in determining your
     preference items for alternative minimum tax
     purposes. A portion of the income may also be
     exempt from state and local personal income
     taxes, depending on where you live.

     You will also receive principal payments if
     bonds are sold or called or mature, when the
     cash available is more than $5.00 per unit. You
     will be subject to tax on any gain realized by
     the Fund on the disposition of bonds.

12.  WHAT OTHER SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?

     REINVESTMENT
     You will receive your monthly income in cash
     unless you choose to compound your income by
     reinvesting with no sales fee in the Municipal
     Fund Investment Accumulation Program, Inc. This
     program is an open-end mutual fund with a
     comparable investment objective. Income from
     this program will generally be subject to state
     and local income taxes. FOR MORE COMPLETE
     INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING CHARGES
     AND FEES, ASK THE TRUSTEE FOR THE PROGRAM'S
     PROSPECTUS. READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INVEST.
     THE TRUSTEE MUST RECEIVE YOUR WRITTEN ELECTION
     TO REINVEST AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE THE RECORD
     DAY OF AN INCOME PAYMENT.

     EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
     You may exchange units of this Fund for units of
     certain other Defined Asset Funds. You may also
     exchange into this Fund from certain other
     funds. We charge a reduced sales fee on
     exchanges.

To compare the yield of a taxable security with the yield of a federally
tax-free security, find your taxable income and read across. The table
incorporates 2000 federal income tax rates and assumes that all income would
otherwise be taxed at a U.S. investor's highest tax rate. Yield figures are for
example only.

*Based upon net amount subject to federal income tax after deductions and
exemptions. This table does not reflect the possible effect of other tax
factors, such as alternative minimum tax, personal exemptions, the phase-out of
exemptions, itemized deductions, the possible partial disallowance of deductions
or state and local taxation. Consequently, investors are urged to consult their
own tax advisers in this regard.

NOTES:
 + Regular taxable income plus state income taxes
   and personal exemptions.
 ++ Assuming no dependents.
Under federal tax law, interest income on certain municipal bonds, although
exempt from regular income tax, is treated as a "preference" item for purposes
of AMT. The table above shows amounts of such municipal bond "preference"
interest income, assuming no other "preference" or similar items apply, that
individual taxpayers could receive in 2000 without becoming subject to the AMT.
The table gives information for single and joint returns of U.S. individuals
having no dependents. The table provides three income levels and three
hypothetical state income tax rates. The table further assumes that the stated
amount of municipal bond 'preference' interest income is subject to state income
taxes.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM YOUR INVESTMENT

MONTHLY INCOME

The Fund will pay you regular monthly income. Your monthly income may vary
because of:
  - elimination of one or more bonds from the Fund's portfolio because of calls,
    redemptions or sales;
  - a change in the Fund's expenses; or
  - the failure by a bond's issuer to pay interest.

Changes in interest rates generally will not affect your monthly income because
the portfolio is fixed.

Along with your monthly income, you will receive your share of any available
bond principal.

RETURN FIGURES

We cannot predict your actual return, which will vary with unit price, how long
you hold your investment and changes in the portfolio, interest income and
expenses.

ESTIMATED CURRENT RETURN equals the estimated annual cash to be received from
the bonds in the Fund less estimated annual Fund expenses, divided by the Unit
Price (including the maximum sales fee):

<TABLE>
<S>              <C>  <C>
Estimated Annual         Estimated
Interest Income   -   Annual Expenses
-------------------------------------
             Unit Price
</TABLE>

ESTIMATED LONG TERM RETURN is a measure of the estimated return over the
estimated life of the Fund. Unlike Estimated Current Return, Estimated Long Term
Return reflects maturities, discounts and premiums of the bonds in the Fund. It
is an average of the yields to maturity (or in certain cases, to an earlier call
date) of the individual bonds in the portfolio, adjusted to reflect the Fund's
maximum sales fee and estimated expenses. We calculate the average yield for the
portfolio by weighting each bond's yield by its market value and the time
remaining to the call or maturity date.

Yields on individual bonds depend on many factors including general conditions
of the bond markets, the size of a particular offering and the maturity and
quality rating of the particular issues. Yields can vary among bonds with
similar maturities, coupons and ratings.

These return quotations are designed to be comparative rather than predictive.

RECORDS AND REPORTS

You will receive:
- a monthly statement of income payments and any principal payments;
- a notice from the Trustee when new bonds are deposited in exchange or
  substitution for bonds originally deposited;
- an annual report on Fund activity; and
- annual tax information. THIS WILL ALSO BE SENT TO THE IRS. YOU MUST REPORT THE
  AMOUNT OF TAX-EXEMPT INTEREST RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR.

You may request:
- copies of bond evaluations to enable you to comply with federal and state tax
  reporting requirements; and
- audited financial statements of the Fund.

You may inspect records of Fund transactions at the Trustee's office during
regular business hours.

                                       7

THE RISKS YOU FACE

INTEREST RATE RISK

Investing involves risks, including the risk that your investment will decline
in value if interest rates rise. Generally, bonds with longer maturities will
change in value more than bonds with shorter maturities. Bonds in the Fund are
more likely to be called when interest rates decline. This would result in early
returns of principal to you and may result in early termination of the Fund. Of
course, we cannot predict how interest rates may change.

CALL RISK

Many bonds can be prepaid or "called" by the issuer before their stated
maturity. For example, some bonds may be required to be called pursuant to
mandatory sinking fund provisions.

Also, an issuer might call its bonds during periods of falling interest rates,
if the issuer's bonds have a coupon higher than current market rates.

An issuer might call its bonds in extraordinary cases, including if:
  - it no longer needs the money for the original purpose;
  - the project is condemned or sold;
  - the project is destroyed and insurance proceeds are used to redeem the
    bonds;
  - any related credit support expires and is not replaced; or
  - interest on the bonds become taxable.

If the bonds are called, your income will decline and you may not be able to
reinvest the money you receive at as high a yield or as long a maturity. An
early call at par of a premium bond will reduce your return.

REDUCED DIVERSIFICATION RISK

If many investors sell their units, the Fund will have to sell bonds. This could
reduce the diversification of your investment and increase your share of Fund
expenses.

LIQUIDITY RISK

The bonds will generally trade in the over-the-counter market. We cannot assure
you that a liquid trading market will exist, especially since current law may
restrict the Fund from selling bonds to any Sponsor. The value of the bonds, and
of your investment, may be reduced if trading in bonds is limited or absent.

CONCENTRATION RISK

When a certain type of bond makes up 25% or more of the portfolio, the Fund is
said to be "concentrated" in that bond type, which makes the Fund less
diversified.

Here is what you should know about the Fund's concentration in airport, port and
highway bonds. Airport, port and highway revenue bonds are dependent for payment
on revenues from financial projects including:
  - user fees from ports and airports;
  - tolls on turnpikes and bridges;
  - rents from buildings; and
  - additional financial resources including
    --federal and state subsidies,
    -- lease rentals paid by state or local governments, or
    -- the pledge of a special tax such as a sales tax or a property tax.

Airport income is largely affected by:
  - increased competition;
  - excess capacity; and
  - increased fuel costs.

                                       8
<PAGE>
Changes to the portfolio from bond redemptions, maturities and sales may affect
the Fund's concentration over time.

BOND QUALITY RISK

A reduction in a bond's rating may decrease its value and, indirectly, the value
of your investment in the Fund.

INSURANCE RELATED RISK

Some bonds may be backed by insurance companies (as shown under Portfolio).
Insurance policies generally make payments only according to a bond's original
payment schedule and do not make early payments when a bond defaults or becomes
taxable. Although the federal government does not regulate the insurance
business, various state laws and federal initiatives and tax law changes could
significantly affect the insurance business. The claims-paying ability of the
insurance companies is generally rated A or better by Standard & Poor's or
another nationally recognized rating organization. The insurance company ratings
are subject to change at any time at the discretion of the rating agencies.

LITIGATION AND LEGISLATION RISKS

We do not know of any pending litigation that might have a material adverse
effect upon the Fund.

Future tax legislation could affect the value of the portfolio by:
  - limiting real property taxes,
  - reducing tax rates,
  - imposing a flat or other form of tax, or
  - exempting investment income from tax.

SELLING OR EXCHANGING UNITS

You can sell your units at any time for a price based on net asset value. Your
net asset value is calculated each business day by:
  - ADDING the value of the bonds, net accrued interest, cash and any other Fund
    assets;
  - SUBTRACTING accrued but unpaid Fund expenses, unreimbursed Trustee advances,
    cash held to buy back units or for distribution to investors and any other
    Fund liabilities; and
  - DIVIDING the result by the number of outstanding units.

Your net asset value when you sell may be more or less than your cost because of
sales fees, market movements and changes in the portfolio.

SPONSORS' SECONDARY MARKET

While we are not obligated to do so, we will buy back units at net asset value
without any other fee or charge. We may resell the units to other buyers or to
the Trustee. You should consult your financial professional for current market
prices to determine if other broker-dealers or banks are offering higher prices.

We have maintained a secondary market continuously for over 28 years, but we
could discontinue it without prior notice for any business reason.

SELLING UNITS TO THE TRUSTEE

Regardless of whether we maintain a secondary market, you can sell your units to
the Trustee at any time by sending the Trustee a letter (with any outstanding
certificates if you hold unit certificates). You must properly endorse your
certificates (or execute a written transfer instrument with signatures
guaranteed by an eligible institution). Sometimes, additional documents are
needed such as a trust document, certificate of corporate authority,

                                       9
<PAGE>
certificate of death or appointment as executor, administrator or guardian.

Within seven days after your request and the necessary documents are received,
the Trustee will mail a check to you. Contact the Trustee for additional
information.

As long as we are maintaining a secondary market, the Trustee will sell your
units to us at a price based on net asset value. If there is no secondary
market, the Trustee may sell your units in the over-the-counter market for a
higher price, but it is not obligated to do so. In that case, you will receive
the net proceeds of the sale.

If the Fund does not have cash available to pay you for units you are selling,
the agent for the Sponsors will select bonds to be sold. Bonds will be selected
based on market and credit factors. These sales could be made at times when the
bonds would not otherwise be sold and may result in your receiving less than the
unit par value and also reduce the size and diversity of the Fund.

If you acquire 25% or more of the outstanding units of the Fund and you sell
units with a value exceeding $250,000, the Trustee may choose to pay you "in
kind" by distributing bonds and cash with a total value equal to the price of
those units. The Trustee will try to distribute bonds in the portfolio pro rata,
but it reserves the right to distribute only one or a few bonds. The Trustee
will act as your agent in an in kind distribution and will either hold the bonds
for your account or sell them as you instruct. You must pay any transaction
costs as well as transfer and ongoing custodial fees on sales of bonds
distributed in kind.

There could be a delay in paying you for your units:
  - if the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and
    holiday closings);
  - if the SEC determines that trading on the New York Stock Exchange is
    restricted or that an emergency exists making sale or evaluation of the
    bonds not reasonably practicable; and
  - for any other period permitted by SEC order.

EXCHANGE OPTION

You may exchange units of certain Defined Asset Funds for units of this Fund at
a maximum exchange fee of 1.50%. You may exchange units of this Fund for units
of certain other funds at a reduced sales fee if your investment goals change.
To exchange units, you should talk to your financial professional about what
funds are exchangeable, suitable and currently available.

Normally, an exchange is taxable and you must recognize any gain or loss on the
exchange. However, the IRS may try to disallow a loss if the portfolios of the
two funds are not materially different; you should consult your own tax adviser.

We may amend or terminate this exchange option at any time without notice.

HOW THE FUND WORKS

PRICING

The price of a unit includes interest accrued on the bonds, less expenses, from
the most recent Record Day up to, but not including, the settlement date, which
is usually three business days after the purchase date of the unit.

A portion of the price of a unit consists of cash so that the Trustee can
provide you with regular monthly income. When you sell

                                       10
<PAGE>
your units you will receive your share of this cash.

In addition, as with mutual funds, the Fund (and therefore the investors) pay
all or some of the costs of organizing the Fund including:
  - cost of initial preparation of legal documents;
  - federal and state registration fees;
  - initial fees and expenses of the Trustee;
  - initial audit; and
  - legal expenses and other out-of-pocket expenses.

These costs are amortized over the first five years of the Fund.

EVALUATIONS

An independent Evaluator values the bonds on each business day (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays as observed by the New York Stock
Exchange: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas).
Bond values are based on current bid or offer prices for the bonds or comparable
bonds. In the past, the difference between bid and offer prices of publicly
offered tax-exempt bonds has ranged from 0.5% of face amount on actively traded
issues to 3.5% on inactively traded issues; the difference has averaged between
1 and 2%.

INCOME

The Trustee credits interest to an Income Account and other receipts to a
Capital Account. The Trustee may establish a Reserve Account by withdrawing from
these accounts amounts it considers appropriate to pay any material liability.
These accounts do not bear interest.

EXPENSES

The Trustee is paid monthly. It also benefits when it holds cash for the Fund in
non-interest bearing accounts. The Trustee may also receive additional amounts:
  - to reimburse the Trustee for the Fund's operating expenses;
  - for extraordinary services and costs of indemnifying the Trustee and the
    Sponsors;
  - costs of actions taken to protect the Fund and other legal fees and
    expenses;
  - expenses for keeping the Fund's registration statement current; and
  - Fund termination expenses and any governmental charges.

The Sponsors are currently reimbursed up to 55 CENTS per $1,000 face amount
annually for providing portfolio supervisory, bookkeeping and administrative
services and for any other expenses properly chargeable to the Fund. Legal,
typesetting, electronic filing and regulatory filing fees and expenses
associated with updating the Portfolio's registration statement yearly are also
now chargeable to the Portfolio. While this fee may exceed the amount of these
costs and expenses attributable to this Fund, the total of these fees for all
Series of Defined Asset Funds will not exceed the aggregate amount attributable
to all of these Series for any calendar year. The Fund also pays the Evaluator's
fees.

The Trustee's, Sponsors' and Evaluator's fees may be adjusted for inflation
without investors' approval.

The Sponsors will pay advertising and selling expenses at no charge to the Fund.
If Fund expenses exceed initial estimates, the Fund will owe the excess. The
Trustee has a lien on Fund assets to secure reimbursement of Fund expenses and
may sell bonds if cash is not available.

                                       11
<PAGE>
PORTFOLIO CHANGES

The Sponsors and Trustee are not liable for any default or defect in a bond.

Unlike a mutual fund, the portfolio is designed to remain intact and we may keep
bonds in the portfolio even if their credit quality declines or other adverse
financial circumstances occur. However, we may sell a bond in certain cases if
we believe that certain adverse credit conditions exist or if a bond becomes
taxable.

If we maintain a secondary market in units but are unable to sell the units that
we buy in the secondary market, we will redeem units, which may affect the
composition of the portfolio. Units offered in the secondary market may not
represent the same face amount of bonds that they did originally.

We decide whether or not to offer units for sale that we acquire in the
secondary market after reviewing:
  - diversity of the portfolio;
  - size of the Fund relative to its original size;
  - ratio of Fund expenses to income;
  - current and long-term returns;
  - degree to which units may be selling at a premium over par; and
  - cost of maintaining a current prospectus.

FUND TERMINATION

The Fund will terminate following the stated maturity or sale of the last bond
in the portfolio. The Fund may also terminate earlier with the consent of
investors holding 51% of the units or if total assets of the Fund have fallen
below 40% of the face amount of bonds deposited. We will decide whether to
terminate the Fund early based on the same factors used in deciding whether or
not to offer units in the secondary market.

When the Fund is about to terminate you will receive a notice, and you will be
unable to sell your units after that time. On or shortly before termination, we
will sell any remaining bonds, and you will receive your final distribution. Any
bond that cannot be sold at a reasonable price may continue to be held by the
Trustee in a liquidating trust pending its final sale.

You will pay your share of the expenses associated with termination, including
brokerage costs in selling bonds. This may reduce the amount you receive as your
final distribution.

CERTIFICATES

Certificates for units are issued on request. You may transfer certificates by
complying with the requirements for redeeming certificates, described above. You
can replace lost or mutilated certificates by delivering satisfactory indemnity
and paying the associated costs.

TRUST INDENTURE

The Fund is a "unit investment trust" governed by a Trust Indenture, a contract
among the Sponsors, the Trustee and the Evaluator, which sets forth their duties
and obligations and your rights. A copy of the Indenture is available to you on
request to the Trustee. The following summarizes certain provisions of the
Indenture.

                                       12
<PAGE>
The Sponsors and the Trustee may amend the Indenture without your consent:
  - to cure ambiguities;
  - to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision;
  - to make any amendment required by any governmental agency; or
  - to make other changes determined not to be materially adverse to your best
    interest (as determined by the Sponsors).

Investors holding 51% of the units may amend the Indenture. Every investor must
consent to any amendment that changes the 51% requirement. No amendment may
reduce your interest in the Fund without your written consent.

The Trustee may resign by notifying the Sponsors. The Sponsors may remove the
Trustee without your consent if:
  - it fails to perform its duties and the Sponsors determine that its
    replacement is in your best interest; or
  - it becomes incapable of acting or bankrupt or its affairs are taken over by
    public authorities.

Investors holding 51% of the units may remove the Trustee. The Evaluator may
resign or be removed by the Sponsors and the Trustee without the consent of
investors. The resignation or removal of either becomes effective when a
successor accepts appointment. The Sponsors will try to appoint a successor
promptly; however, if no successor has accepted within 30 days after notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee or Evaluator may petition a court to appoint
a successor.

Any Sponsor may resign as long as one Sponsor with a net worth of $2 million
remains and agrees to the resignation. The remaining Sponsors and the Trustee
may appoint a replacement. If there is only one Sponsor and it fails to perform
its duties or becomes bankrupt the Trustee may:
  - remove it and appoint a replacement Sponsor;
  - liquidate the Fund; or
  - continue to act as Trustee without a Sponsor.

Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acts as agent for the
Sponsors.

The Trust Indenture contains customary provisions limiting the liability of the
Trustee, the Sponsors and the Evaluator.

Each Sponsor is a Delaware corporation and it, or its predecessor, has acted as
sponsor to many unit investment trusts. As a registered broker-dealer each
Sponsor buys and sells securities (including investment company shares) for
others (including investment companies) and participates as an underwriter in
various selling groups.

TRUSTEE

The Chase Manhattan Bank, Unit Investment Trust Department, 4 New York
Plaza--6th Floor, New York, New York 10004, is the Trustee. It is supervised by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and New York State banking authorities.

UNDERWRITERS' AND SPONSORS' PROFITS

Underwriters receive sales charges when they sell units. The Sponsors also
realized a profit or loss on the initial deposit of the bonds. Any cash made
available by you to the Sponsors before the settlement date for those units may
be used in the Sponsors' businesses to the extent permitted by federal law and
may benefit the Sponsors.

A Sponsor or Underwriter may realize profits or sustain losses on bonds in the
Fund which were acquired from underwriting syndicates of which it was a member.

In maintaining a secondary market, the Sponsors will also realize profits or
sustain losses in the amount of any difference between the prices at which they
buy units and the prices at which they resell or redeem them.

PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

The Sponsors do not intend to qualify units for sale in any foreign countries.
This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell units in any country where
units cannot lawfully be sold.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Fund and the Agent for the Sponsors have each adopted a code of ethics
requiring reporting of personal securities transactions by its employees with
access to information on Fund transactions. Subject to certain conditions, the
codes permit employees to invest in Fund securities for their own accounts. The
codes are designed to prevent fraud, deception and misconduct against the Fund
and to provide reasonable standards of conduct. These codes are on file with the
Commission and you may obtain a copy by contacting the Commission at the address
listed on the back cover of this prospectus.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

Many computer systems were designed in such a way that they may be unable to
distinguish between the year 2000 and the year 1900 (commonly known as the "Year
2000 Problem"). To date we are not aware of any major operational difficulties
resulting from the computer system changes necessary to prepare for the Year
2000. However, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 Problem will not
adversely affect the issuers of the bonds contained in the Portfolio. We cannot
predict whether any

                                       14
<PAGE>
impact will be material to the Fund as a whole.

TAXES

The following summary describes some of the important income tax consequences of
holding units. It assumes that you are not a dealer, financial institution,
insurance company or other investor with special circumstances or subject to
special rules. You should consult your own tax adviser about your particular
circumstances.

At the date of issue of each bond, counsel for the issuer delivered an opinion
to the effect that interest on the bond is exempt from regular federal income
tax. However, interest may be subject to state and local taxes and may be taken
into account in determining your preference items for alternative minimum tax
purposes. Neither we nor our counsel have reviewed the issuance of the bonds,
related proceedings or the basis for the opinions of counsel for the issuers. We
cannot assure you that the issuers (or other users of bond proceeds) have
complied or will comply with any requirements necessary for a bond to be
tax-exempt. If any of the bonds were determined not to be tax-exempt, you could
be required to pay income tax for current and prior years, and if the Fund were
to sell the bond, it might have to sell it at a substantial discount.

In the opinion of our counsel, under existing law:

GENERAL TREATMENT OF THE FUND AND YOUR INVESTMENT

The Fund will not be taxed as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, and
you will be considered to own directly your share of each bond in the Fund.

GAIN OR LOSS UPON DISPOSITION

When all or part of your share of a bond is disposed of (for example, when the
Fund sells, exchanges or redeems a bond or when you sell or exchange your
units), you will generally recognize capital gain or loss. Your gain, however,
will generally be ordinary income to the extent of any accrued "market
discount". Generally you will have market discount to the extent that your basis
in a bond when you purchase a unit is less than its stated redemption price at
maturity (or, if it is an original issue discount bond, the issue price
increased by original issue discount that has accrued on the bond before your
purchase). You should consult your tax adviser in this regard.

If your net long-term capital gains exceed your net short-term capital losses,
the excess may be subject to tax at a lower rate than ordinary income. Any
capital gain from the Fund will be long-term if you are considered to have held
your investment on each bond for more than one year and short-term otherwise.
Because the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations, you may
not be able to deduct all of your capital losses. Consult your tax adviser in
this regard.

YOUR BASIS IN THE BONDS

Your aggregate basis in the bonds will be equal to the cost of your units,
including any sales charges and the organizational expenses you pay, adjusted to
reflect any accruals of "original issue discount," "acquisition premium" and
"bond premium". You should consult your tax adviser in this regard.

EXPENSES

If you are not a corporate investor, you will not be entitled to a deduction for
your share

                                       15
<PAGE>
of fees and expenses of the Fund. Also, if you borrowed money in order to
purchase or carry your units, you will not be able to deduct the interest on
this borrowing for federal income tax purposes. The IRS may treat your purchase
of units as made with borrowed money even if the money is not directly traceable
to the purchase of units.

NEW YORK TAXES

Under the income tax laws of the State and City of New York, the Fund will not
be taxed as a corporation. If you are a New York taxpayer, your income from the
Fund will not be tax-exempt in New York except to the extent that the income is
earned on bonds that are tax-exempt for New York purposes. Depending on where
you live, your income from the Fund may be subject to state and local taxation.
You should consult your tax adviser in this regard.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

You can receive at no cost supplemental information about the Fund by calling
the Trustee. The supplemental information includes more detailed risk disclosure
about the types of bonds that may be in the Fund's portfolio, general risk
disclosure concerning any insurance securing certain bonds, and general
information about the structure and operation of the Fund. The supplemental
information is also available from the SEC.

     MUNICIPAL INVESTMENT TRUST FUND,
     INTERMEDIATE TERM SERIES - 302,
     DEFINED ASSET FUNDS

     NOTES TO PORTFOLIO
     As of February 29, 2000

    (1)   The ratings are of the bonds  themselves by Standard & Poor's  Ratings
          Group, or by Moody's Investors  Service,  Inc if followed by "(m)", or
          by Fitch Investors Service,  Inc if followed by "(f)"; "(a)" indicates
          that  it is a  rating  of  the  outstanding  debt  obligations  of the
          institution  providing  the  letter  of  credit  or  guarantee;  "(b)"
          indicates that while there is no such available rating, in the opinion
          of  Defined  Asset  Funds  research  analysts,  the  bond  has  credit
          characteristics  comparable  to  bonds  rated  "A"  or  better;  "(c)"
          indicates that while there is no such available rating, in the opinion
          of  Defined  Asset  Funds  research  analysts,  the bond does not have
          credit  characteristics  comparable to bonds rated "A" or better. Bond
          ratings have been  furnished by the Evaluator  but not confirmed  with
          the rating agencies.

    (2)   See Notes to Financial Statements.

    (3)   Optional redemption provisions,  which may be exercised in whole or in
          part, are initially at prices of par plus a premium, then subsequently
          at  prices  declining  to par.  Certain  securities  may  provide  for
          redemption  at par prior or in addition to any  optional or  mandatory
          redemption dates or maturity, for example,  through the operation of a
          maintenance and replacement  fund, if proceeds are not able to be used
          as  contemplated,  the project is  condemned or sold or the project is
          destroyed  and insurance  proceeds are used to redeem the  securities.
          Many of the  securities  are also  subject to  mandatory  sinking fund
          redemption commencing on dates which may be prior to the date on which
          securities may be optionally redeemed. Sinking fund redemptions are at
          par and redeem  only part of the issue.  Some of the  securities  have
          mandatory sinking funds which contain optional  provisions  permitting
          the issuer to increase the principal amount of securities  called on a
          mandatory  redemption date. The sinking fund redemptions with optional
          provisions  may, and optional  refunding  redemptions  generally will,
          occur at times when the  redeemed  securities  have an  offering  side
          evaluation which represents a premium over par. To the extent that the
          securities were acquired at a price higher than the redemption  price,
          this will  represent a loss of capital when  compared  with the Public
          Offering  Price  of  the  Units  when  acquired.   Distributions  will
          generally be reduced by the amount of the income which would otherwise
          have been paid with respect to redeemed  securities  and there will be
          distributed  to Holders any principal  amount and premium  received on
          such  redemption  after  satisfying any redemption  requests for Units
          received by the Fund. The estimated  current return may be affected by
          redemptions.

    (4)   Insured by the indicated municipal bond  insurance company.

    (5)   Securities  that  are  tax  preference   items  for  purposes  of  the
          Alternative Minimum Tax are indicated by "(AMT)".

    (6)   Certain bonds have  scheduled  sinking fund  provisions  providing for
          redemptions at specific dates until July 1, 2004.

    (7)   Certain  bonds are covered by letters of credit which may expire prior
          to the maturity  dates of the bonds.  Upon  expiration  of a letter of
          credit,  the issuer of the bond is obligated  to obtain a  replacement
          letter of credit or call the bond.
