      AMENDMENT
 
   Amendment made as of May 30, 2003 to those certain Custody Agreements
between each Fund in the Dreyfus Family of Funds listed on Schedule I hereto
(each a " Fund") and The Bank of New York ("Custodian") (each such Custody
Agreement hereinafter referred to as the "Custody Agreement."). Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the
Custody Agreement.
 
 
   1. Please be advised that the Fund has appointed Mellon Bank, N.A.
as its agent ("Agent") to lend Securities from any of the Account(s)
maintained by Custodian for the Fund. Third Party International Lending
Operational Procedures governing the responsibilities of the Custodian and
the Agent in connection with the securities lending transactions contemplated
herein, including without limitation Custodian's deadlines for receipt of
instructions, are attached hereto.
 
   2. It is understood and agreed that Custodian shall not have any
responsibility for collateral management in connection with securities loan
transactions hereunder. Agent will be solely responsible for collecting
collateral in connection with transactions initiated by Agent. Agent may
instruct Custodian to receive collateral into the Account, or if the Fund
desires, Custodian will establish and maintain a collateral account (also
referred to herein as an "Account") to which collateral may be deposited,
subject to execution and delivery to Custodian of such agreements as it may
require.
 
   3. The Fund shall cause Agent to furnish to Custodian a Certificate
of Authorized Persons (including specimen signatures) identifying all of
Agent's officers and employees authorized to give Oral or Written
Instructions with respect to the Account(s). Upon Custodian's receipt of
such Certificate, Agent and all such officers and employees shall be deemed
to be Authorized Persons. The Fund hereby authorizes and directs Custodian,
and it shall be Custodian's responsibility, to follow Agent's Oral or Written
Instructions concerning the transfer of Securities and/or collateral to or
from the Account(s), whether or not such transfers are against receipt of
payment. Custodian shall comply with Agent's Oral or Written Instructions on
the Business Day such instructions are received; provided they are received
prior to Custodian's deadlines for the same-day processing of such
instructions; and provided further, that such instructions conform to
Custodian's data specifications. Custodian shall have no responsibility to
deliver any Security pursuant to Agent's Oral or Written Instructions if such
Security is subject to a pending settlement instruction. Custodian shall be
entitled to rely upon any Oral or Written Instructions from Agent without
inquiry, and shall have no duty to monitor any transactions initiated by
Agent in connection herewith. Agent must notify Custodian specifically
regarding any partial securities loan closing. Custodian shall have no
responsibility or liability whatsoever as a result of the occurrence of any
failed transaction due to a failure by Agent to comply with Custodian's trade
instruction requirements, including without limitation, Custodian's published
cut-off times for receipt of instructions.

   4. Custodian shall furnish to Agent on each Business Day a report
listing all Securities and funds then held in the Account(s), pending
settlement instructions (if any) with respect to such Securities, and such
other reports as the Fund and Custodian shall agree. All reports sent to
Agent shall be in such format as Agent and Custodian shall agree. The Fund
shall be solely responsible for instructing Agent to recall any Security on
loan if required in order to settle a trade. Custodian shall have no
responsibility or liability in connection with any failed settlement due to a
failure by the Fund or Agent to cause the timely return of any Security on
loan.
 
   5. The Fund will receive corporate action notifications from
Custodian, provided however, that in order to receive such notifications in
connection with non-U.S. Securities, the Fund must assure that at least one
share/one unit of its position in the relevant non-U.S. Securities remains
held in custody with Custodian. The Fund must advise Custodian of the
action to be taken on its position by the deadlines established by Custodian,
provided however, that Custodian will process such corporate action
instructions only for the Securities that remain in the Account. It shall be
the Fund's responsibility to advise Agent of the action it has elected for
Securities on loan. If the Fund's election results in its right to receive
any proceeds (cash or securities) with respect to the loaned position, either
the Fund or Agent must advise Custodian of this event. Custodian shall have
no responsibility or liability in the event of any discrepancy between the
corporate action election delivered to Custodian and that delivered to
Agent. The Fund understands and agrees that Custodian will not provide
proxy services on loaned Securities. If the Fund wishes to vote on a loaned
position, it must instruct the Agent to recall Securities from loan prior to
the record date. The Fund may receive reminders from Custodian on elective
events for positions out on loan even though voting instructions for such
positions must be sent directly to Agent.
 
   6. Custodian will post income for positions subject to securities
loan transactions hereunder in accordance with Custodian's standard income
pre-post schedule. If Custodian does not receive income payment within two
Business Days, it may, in its discretion, reverse the income posting. The
Fund shall assume all risks associated with fluctuations in exchange rates if
the funds are converted from the posting currency. Custodian shall not have
any responsibility for the collection of any income due but not received for
positions out-on-loan over the "ex" date or record date of the position, but
will notify the Fund of such occurrences in the form of a reversal of the
pre-posted income.
 
 
   7. It is understood and agreed that any service level description
contained in the Third Party International Lending Operational Procedures is
simply a narrative description of the services and of the level of
performance Custodian shall endeavor to achieve. Notwithstanding any service
level or objective specified in such service level description, for purposes
of the Custody Agreement, Custodian's failure to meet any performance
objective shall not per se constitute negligence or a breach of the Custody

Agreement nor constitute an inference of the foregoing, provided that nothing
herein contained shall preclude the Fund from introducing evidence of
Custodian's performance in an effort to prove negligence or breach of the
Custody Agreement.
 
   8. The Fund understands and agrees that Custodian shall not be responsible
for any tax reclaims that are due on Securities in securities loan transactions
hereunder. It is the responsibility of Agent to collect any tax benefits that
may be due to the Fund in connection with any such transaction.
 
   9. All overdrafts and indebtedness in connection with the Account(s)
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Custody Agreement. Any
account established pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be deemed to be an
Account for such purposes.
 
   10. The Fund may rescind the authority granted to Agent hereby at any
time upon two Business Day's prior written notice to Custodian.
 
   11. Except as provided herein, the Custody Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect. This Amendment shall control when there are
differences with the Custody Agreement.

These Third Party International Lending Operational Procedures (the
"Procedures") are designed to formalize the level of service that The Bank of
New York (the "Custodian") will provide to the Funds Listed on Schedule I
hereto (collectively the "Client") in connection with the third party
securities lending program Client has established with Mellon Bank, N.A., as
Client's agent (the "Agent"). The information contained herein is intended
to describe generally the performance objectives of the parties for agent
lending in the ordinary course of business, and Custodian's failure to meet
any performance objective shall not per se constitute negligence or a breach

failure constitute an inference of the foregoing, provided that nothing
herein contained shall preclude Client from introducing evidence of
Custodian's performance in an effort to prove negligence or breach of the
Custody Agreement.

These Procedures are based on the assumption that securities are held and settled in their domestic market.

1. LENDING RELATIONSHIP PROFILE

The Agent will instruct the Custodian to deliver and receive international securities free of payment in connection with securities lending activities for the Client.

Based on the Agent's instructions, the Custodian will relay instructions to its local clearing agent to deliver or receive securities free of payment from the Borrower's local clearing agent.

4. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR LOAN AND PORTFOLIO PARTICIPATION LIST

Securities available for loan as of the close of business will be transmitted via SWIFT or will be available via Custodian's INFORM system by the Agent every morning at 4 AM EST. This data will also include positions that the Custodian reflects as being on-loan. Both available and on-loan positions will be settlement-dated positions.

5. TRANSMISSION OF LENDING AGENT INSTRUCTIONS

All instructions from the Agent will also include information on local clearing agent information for the borrowing counterparty.


The Custodian will be responsible for providing its local clearing agent with information required to deliver and receive securities to and from the borrower counterparty, after receiving the Agent's instructions.

Custodian requires delivery instructions on all trades. Forms of transmission will be as follows:

5.1. PRIMARY METHOD

The Agent will transmit its instructions to the Custodian using FTP (SWIFT 15022 format), SWIFT platform or facsimile.

All transmission of instructions (electronic or otherwise) will contain the following data elements to ensure timely, accurate processing of the transactions by the Custodian.

- Trade Date
- Transaction Type (Delivery or Receipt)
- Custodian account number
- Security ID
- Quantity
- Settlement Date
- Lending Reference Number
- Clearing Broker Information
 
Transmissions will be sent according to the addresses as set forth in Section 3

5.2. SECONDARY METHOD

If the primary method of communication is unavailable, the Agent will transmit its instructions to the Custodian via FAX.

Transmissions via FAX will be sequentially numbered, contain an authorized signature, and include at least the data elements as described above.

Verbal instructions are only accepted in emergency cases, and will subsequently be documented by hard copy notification.

5.3. CANCELLATIONS/AMENDMENTS

Cancellation of prior transactions will be separately communicated using either the primary or secondary method. A cancellation instruction received after a deadline will be acted upon by both Custodian and the Agent on a reasonable best-efforts basis before the close of the relevant depository. Amendments to existing instructions are performed by transmitting a cancellation and a new instruction.

6. INSTRUCTION TRANSMISSION DEADLINES

Transmission of instructions from the Agent will begin after 7.00 a.m. EST. The tables attached in Exhibit B-B below sets forth the deadlines for transmission of instructions to the Custodian. All instructions sent after the deadline will be executed on a reasonable best-efforts basis up until the applicable depository cutoffs.


7. COLLATERAL

The collateral account for Client will be under the custody and control of Agent. Agent accepts full responsibility for collateral management and adequacy as stated in the Securities Lending Authorization between Client and Agent.

8. LOAN RECALL PROCESS

Loan recalls are the sole responsibility of the Agent. The Client will be responsible for instructing the Agent to recall securities from loan. Recall instructions should be sent to the staff members at the Agent listed in Section 3.2 above.

Client agrees to notify the Agent of recalls of international securities from loan for sale settlement. Due to time zone differences and trade instruction flows this notice may not be received by close of business on trade date in the local trading market.

Custodian requires a notice of each recall. Such recall notice must be clearly identified as a loan return notice and must include all information as listed in Section 5.1.

As an additional precaution, Custodian will provide sale trade information of which it has notice by updating Client positions on the INFORM system on a reasonable efforts basis. Such information will be otherwise made available to the Agent in accordance with the deadlines contained in Section 4. Agent may view INFORM on an intra-day basis for any pending trades received by Custodian and input to this system on a reasonable efforts basis.

Notwithstanding any responsibility of the Custodian pursuant to the Custody Agreement, Custodian accepts no liability whatsoever for any settlement failure that occurs because a security is on loan or the loan recall itself fails.

9. MONITOR SETTLEMENTS 9.1. FAIL NOTIFICATION

9.1.1. LENDING TRANSACTIONS

The Custodian and Agent staff members agree to contact each other on a reasonable best-efforts basis to resolve any failing securities lending-related deliveries or return transactions before the close of the relevant depository.

9.2. LATE SALE SETTLEMENTS AND MARKET BUY-INS

If a security that is on loan is sold by the Client, it may not be returned


in time for the settlement of the sale. As a result, the Client's account may incur overdraft charges.

If the deadlines in Section 6 are adhered to by the Custodian and the Client, the Agent will be solely responsible for overdraft charges dating from the expiration of the recall period through the date of actual settlement.

Buy-ins will be coordinated between the Client's investment manager, the Agent's contacts in Section 3.2, and the borrowing counterparty. The Custodian's contacts in Section 3.1 will be notified at such time of the procedures for buy-ins.

9.3. ON-LOAN POSITION RECONCILIATION

If the availability feed provides such information, the Agent will conduct internal reconciliation's of on-loan positions based on the Custodian's availability feed as stated in Section 4 above. Any positions breaks will be relayed to the Custodian's contacts in Section 3.1 before close of business (5 p.m. EST), where the relevant party will then conduct research to resolve these breaks as soon as possible. The reconciliation report will also be made available to the Custodian upon request.

10. CORPORATE ACTIONS

10.1. DEFINITION OF TERMS

RECORD DATE is the date where the holder of the security is considered by the issuer to be the holders of record.

MARKET EXPIRATION DATE is the final deadline for submitting instructions to the company or their appointed agent on a voluntary corporate action.

CUSTODIAN DEADLINE DATE is the deadline date by which responses on voluntary corporate actions must be received by the Custodian.

EXPIRATION DATE ACTION is an action whose resulting entitlement is based on the security position on market expiration date.

10.2. MANDATORY CORPORATE ACTIONS

Mandatory corporation actions in the form of stock splits, cusip changes etc. will be updated by the Custodian. The Custodian will record and monitor corporate action settlements based on the total entitlement date position of the account, provided, however, that Client leaves at least one security unit in Client's account(s) at Custodian. Custodian will contact the Agent by telephone to verify the eligibility of the position on loan to the entitlement and the Agent must send custodian a confirmation thereof by SWIFT. Upon confirmation of market settlement for the corporate action, the Custodian will increase the on loan position to reflect the entitlement expected from the borrower via the Agent. The resulting changes in the availability feed and on loan file will provide the Agent with notification that such corporate actions have taken place.


     10.2.1. PAYMENTS SHARES:

The Agent will make appropriate changes to loan records to reflect the increase in shares on loan to the borrower as a result of the corporate action.

CASH:

Custodian will book cash credits arising out of the loaned position to the Client's account with the same value that it used for the Client's position that remains in custody at Custodian.

For credits prior to the allocation date, Custodian will send an instruction to the Agent with the payment details.

For debits, prior to the allocation date, the Agent must send Custodian an instruction with the payment details by Custodian's required deadline.

The Agent must ensure that funds are received with good value. If Custodian does not receive funds two Business Days after payment date, Custodian reserves the right to reverse the entries with back value. If funds are not received with good value, Custodian will adjust the posting in the Client's account with Custodian and follow its usual and customary claim procedures.

In case of reversals or adjustments, the Client assumes full responsibility for foreign exchange exposure resulting from such reversal or adjustments.

10.3. VOLUNTARY CORPORATE ACTIONS

10.3.1 OVERVIEW

The Custodian and the Agent will follow the general process below:

1. The Custodian publishes corporate action notifications to the Client and Agent indicating the in-vault and on-loan position from the Custodian's records, provided, however, that Client leaves at least one security unit in Client's account at Custodian.

2. The Client advises Custodian of the action to be taken on the entire position.

3. The Client advises the Agent of the action to be taken on the position on loan.

4. The Custodian processes the corporate action per its custody procedures for the securities in the account.

5. The Agent advises the Custodian of any proceeds (cash or securities) from corporate action events on the loaned position per the Client's election.

     10.3.2. NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES The Client will forward its responses on voluntary corporate actions to the Custodian and Agent according to current custody notification procedures.

If the Custodian or Agent receives no corporate action instruction or an incomplete instruction, Custodian or Agent will take no action on behalf of the Client and will not have any liability for claims resulting therefrom.


     10.3.3. RETURNS FOR CORPORATE ACTION PROCESSING The Client or the Custodian may instruct a return of loaned securities for the purpose of allowing the Client to participate in a corporate action based on Clients in-custody position in accordance with the deadlines as indicated in each specific event notification.

10.3.4. SPECIALIZED PROCESSING ON CERTAIN ACTION TYPES (I.E.

PROXIES, DISSENTER'S RIGHTS, CONSENTS WITH CASH CONSIDERATION, DIVIDEND REINVESTMENTS)

The Client will lose the right to vote or dissent on an action with a record date for securities on loan over Record Date (if applicable).

If the Client wishes to vote on an action, the Client must instruct the Agent directly to recall securities from loan prior to Record Date. Notification deadlines will be in accordance with those set forth in Section 6 above.

In cases where consent actions offer payments in consideration of the shareholder consent, it is typical for the Client to lose any rights to receive consent payments unless the Client has instructed a recall or made other arrangements with the Agent and its borrowers.

In cases of Dividend Reinvestment Programs, the Client will typically receive cash for shares on loan.

All other forms of specialized processing should be dealt with on a case-by-case between the parties listed in Section 3.

10.3.5. PAYMENTS

SHARES:

The Custodian will record and monitor corporate action settlements based on the Client's election. Upon confirmation of market settlement for the corporate action, the Custodian will increase the on loan position to reflect the entitlement expected from the borrower via the Agent. The Agent will make appropriate changes to loan records to reflect the increase in shares on loan to the borrower as a result of the corporate action.

CASH:

Custodian will book cash credits arising out of the loaned position to the Client's account with the same value that it used for the Client's position that remains in custody at Custodian.

For credits prior to the allocation date, Custodian will send an instruction to the Agent with the payment details.

For debits, prior to the allocation date, the Agent must send Custodian an instruction with the payment details by Custodian's required deadline.

The Agent must ensure that funds are received with good value. If Custodian does not receive funds two Business Days after payment date, Custodian reserves the right to reverse the entries with back value. If funds are not received with good value, Custodian will adjust the posting in the Client's account with Custodian and follow its usual and customary claim procedures.


In case of reversals or adjustments, the Client assumes full responsibility for foreign exchange exposure resulting from such reversal or adjustments.

11. INCOME COLLECTION
