Certificateholders and Noteholders of record.

          The Registrant is hereby filing the Quarterly Servicing Reports 
reflecting each Trust's activities for the period ended October 26, 1998.

          Effective October 1, 1998, Elizabeth Eldridge was elected to the Board

Paul Schwartz in that capacity.

          Legislative Developments
          ------------------------

          On October 7, 1998, the President signed into law the Higher Education
Amendments of 1998, legislation that reauthorized federal higher education 
programs for a five-year period (the "Reauthorization Legislation").  The 
Reauthorization Legislation changed the borrower interest rate on Stafford loans
to a formula based on the 91-day Treasury bill rate plus 2.3 percent (1.7 
percent during in-school and grace periods) and the lender's rate after special 
allowance payments to the 91-day Treasury bill rate plus 2.8 percent (2.2 
percent during in-school and grace periods) for loans originated on or after 
October 1, 1998 and before July 1, 2003.  The borrower interest rate on PLUS 
loans originated during this period will be equal to the 91-day Treasury bill 
rate plus 3.1 percent.  Special allowance payments are also based on the 91-day 
Treasury bill rate plus 3.1 percent.  The Reauthorization Legislation also 
maintained borrower interest rates on Federal Direct Consolidation Loans for 
borrowers whose applications for such loans are received prior to February 1, 
1999 at 7.46 percent (6.86 percent during in-school and grace periods), which 
rates are adjusted annually based on a formula equal to the 91-day Treasury 
bill rate plus 2.3 percent (1.7 percent during in-school and grace 
periods).  The borrower interest rates on Federal Direct Consolidation Loans for
borrowers whose applications are received on or after February 1, 1999 and 
before July 1, 2003 will be the lesser of the weighted average of the interest 
rates of the loans consolidated, adjusted up to the nearest one eighth of one 
percent, and 8.25%.  In addition, the Reauthorization Legislation reduced 
borrower interest rates on FFELP consolidation loans for borrowers whose
applications are received on or after October 1, 1998 and before July 31, 2003
to the lesser of the weighted average of the loans consolidated, adjusted up to
the nearest one eighth of one percent, and 8.25%.  The annual fee paid by 
lenders on FFELP consolidation loans is reduced under the Reauthorization 
Legislation from 1.05 percent to .62 percent of the principal plus accrued 
unpaid interest on any such consolidation loans applications for which are 
received on or after October 1, 1998 and before February 1, 1999.  The
availability of the comparatively lower borrower interest rates on Federal
Direct Consolidation Loans from October 1, 1998 through January 31, 1999 may
increase the likelihood that a FFELP student loan owned by any of the Trusts
will be prepaid from the proceeds of such loans during such four-month period.
The volume of FFELP student loans owned by the Trusts that may be prepaid in
this fashion cannot be determined at this time and will be affected by, among
other things, operational limitations on the ability of the Department of
Education to process a significant increase in Federal Direct Consolidation Loan
volume and the period during which reduced rates are available.
