Item 61

Additional Information About Minimum Required Investment

Shareholders can open a fund account with as little as $500 and
make subsequent investments in any amount. The minimum investment
is waived if you make regular investments weekly, semi-monthly,
or monthly through automatic deductions through your bank
checking or savings account. Currently, Putnam is waiving the
minimum, but reserves the right to reject initial investments
under the minimum.
