Re:    Nuveen Rule 497(j) Filing
        File No. 333-34613


Dear Sir or Madam:




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 form of prospectus contained in the most recent amendments to the
 Registration Statements on Form S-6 (the "Registration Statements") for each

 of the Series do not differ from that which would have been filed pursuant
to
 Rule 497(b) of the Securities Act.  These Registration Statements were filed

 via magnetic tape with the Commission on August 23, 1999



Very truly yours,


JOHN NUVEEN & CO. INCORPORATED
