I. The discussion under "How Do I Buy Shares? - Cumulative Quantity Discounts"
is amended by replacing it with the following text:

 To determine if you may pay a reduced sales charge, the amount of your current
 purchase is added to the cost or current value, whichever is higher, of your
 shares in other Franklin Templeton Funds, as well as those of your spouse,
 children under the age of 21 and grandchildren under the age of 21. If you are
 the sole owner of a company, you may also add any company accounts, including
 retirement plan accounts.

II. The discussion under "How Do I Buy Shares? - Sales Charge Waivers" is
amended by adding the following new item as the last item in the list of waiver
categories:

 o Investors exchanging Advisor Class shares from any of the Franklin Templeton
 Funds, or, beginning on or about May 1, 1997, Class Z shares of Mutual Series

III. The discussion under "May I Exchange Shares for Shares of Another Fund? -
Exchange Restrictions" is amended by replacing the first restriction with the
following text:

 You may only exchange shares within the same class.*

 *Because the Fund does not offer Advisor Class shares, Advisor Class shares of

 Asset Value. Beginning on or about May 1, 1997, Class Z shares of Mutual Series
 may also be exchanged into shares of the Fund.
