The Dreyfus Premier Family of Funds 
Supplement to Current Prospectus 

     Effective on or about June 1, 2006 (the "Effective Date"), each fund in the Dreyfus Premier Family of Funds will no longer offer Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares.

     Existing holders of a fund's Class B shares as of the Effective Date may continue to hold their Class B shares, reinvest dividends into Class B shares of the fund and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Dreyfus Premier funds and Dreyfus Founders funds (as permitted by current exchange privilege rules). In addition, Class B shares may be exchanged as of the Effective Date for Class B shares of General Money Market Fund, Inc. ("GMMF"). As of the Effective Date, no new or subsequent investments, including through automatic investment plans, will be allowed in Class B shares of any fund, except through a dividend reinvestment or permitted exchange. For Class B shares outstanding on the Effective Date and Class B shares acquired upon reinvestment of dividends, all Class B share attributes, including associated contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") schedules, conversion features and distribution plan and shareholder services plan fees, will continue in effect. However, as of the Effective Date, the Reinvestment Privilege with respect to Class B shares (which permits you to reinvest within 45 days of selling your shares and have any CDSC you paid on such shares credited back to your account) will be discontinued.

     In addition, as of the Effective Date, exchanges of Class B shares of a fund for shares of Dreyfus Worldwide Dollar Money Market Fund, Inc. ("DWDMMF") will no longer be permitted. Shares held in DWDMMF through a previous exchange of Class B shares, however, may be exchanged for Class B shares of a Dreyfus Premier fund, a Dreyfus Founders fund or GMMF.
