U.S. Government Reserves seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the security of principal and liquidity.
Principal Investment Strategies
FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements for those securities. Certain issuers of U.S. Government securities are sponsored or chartered by Congress but their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. FMR also may enter into reverse repurchase agreements for the fund.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR complies with industry-standard regulatory requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of the fund's investments. FMR stresses maintaining a stable $1.00 share price, liquidity, and income.
Investment Objective

Principal Investment Strategies
FMR invests the fund's assets in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities of domestic and foreign issuers and repurchase agreements. FMR also may enter into reverse repurchase agreements for the fund.
FMR will invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in the financial services industries.
In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR complies with industry-standard regulatory requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of the fund's investments. FMR stresses maintaining a stable $1.00 share price, liquidity, and income.
Description of Principal Security Types
Money market securities are high-quality, short-term securities that pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the security's maturity. Money market securities include bank certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, bank time deposits, notes, commercial paper, and U.S. Government securities.
U.S. Government securities are high-quality securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. Government. U.S. Government securities may be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, the right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, or the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the security. Certain issuers of U.S. Government securities, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are sponsored or chartered by Congress but their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.
A repurchase agreement is an agreement to buy a security at one price and a simultaneous agreement to sell it back at an agreed-upon price.
Principal Investment Risks
Many factors affect each fund's performance. A fund's yield will change daily based on changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Although each fund is managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no guarantee that the fund will be able to do so. For example, a major increase in interest rates or a decrease in the credit quality of the issuer of one of a fund's investments could cause the fund's share price to decrease. It is important to note that neither the funds' share prices nor their yields are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:
Interest Rate Changes. Money market securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a money market security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates.
Foreign Exposure. Issuers located in foreign countries and entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure that are located in foreign countries can involve increased risks. Extensive public information about the issuer or provider may not be available and unfavorable political, economic, or governmental developments could affect the value of the security.
Financial Services Exposure. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value.

Shareholder Notice
The following policy is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:
U.S. Government Reserves normally invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements for those securities.
<R>Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open. Each fund is also open for business on Good Friday.</R>
Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.
To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.
Each fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost.

If you buy or sell shares of a fund through a retirement account or an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ from those discussed in this prospectus.

<R>A fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders, including exchanges.</R>
<R>For example, a fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to that fund.</R>
Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares can harm shareholders in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term shareholders by increasing costs to a fund (such as spreads paid to dealers who sell money market instruments to a fund) and disrupting portfolio management strategies. However, FMR anticipates that shareholders will purchase and sell fund shares frequently because each fund is designed to offer investors a liquid cash option. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has not adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of fund shares and each fund accommodates frequent trading.
<R>Each fund has no limit on purchase or exchange transactions. Each fund reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject any purchase or exchange transaction at any time. In addition, each fund reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases or exchanges at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus.</R>
The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.
Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.
<R>Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries and mutual funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager to accept orders to buy shares on its behalf. When the authorized intermediaries or mutual funds receive an order in proper form, the order is considered as being placed with the fund and shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after the order is received by the authorized intermediary or mutual fund.</R>
Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.
If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has incurred.
Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.
The price to sell one share of each fund is the fund's NAV.
Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.
<R>Each fund has authorized certain intermediaries and mutual funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager to accept orders to sell shares on its behalf.

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. If you submit your request to Fidelity by mail, your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:
You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

Shareholder Information - continued
Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.
You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.
You may be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.
Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.
You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000 ($500 for fund balances in Fidelity Simplified Employee Pension-IRA, Keogh, and Non-Fidelity Prototype Retirement accounts), for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.
Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.
Each fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund may also realize capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less losses), if any, to shareholders as capital gain distributions.
Distributions you receive from each fund consist primarily of dividends. Each fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly.
Earning Dividends
Shares begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day of purchase.
Shares earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day following the day of redemption.
<R>Good Friday will not be considered a business day for purposes of exchanges into or out of any fund that is not open for business that day.</R>
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for each fund:
1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.
2. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, will be paid in cash.
3. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions, if any, will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.
If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.
If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
<R>If your dividend checks(s) remains uncashed for more than six months, your check(s) may be invested in additional shares of the fund at the next NAV calculated on the day of the investment.</R>
As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax consequences for you. If you are not investing through a tax-advantaged retirement account, you should consider these tax consequences.
Prospectus
Distributions you receive from each fund are subject to federal income tax, and may also be subject to state or local taxes.
For federal tax purposes, certain of each fund's distributions, including dividends and distributions of short-term capital gains, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while certain of each fund's distributions, including distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are taxable to you generally as capital gains. Because each fund's income is primarily derived from interest, dividends from each fund generally will not qualify for the long-term capital gains tax rates available to individuals.
Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.
Prospectus
Each fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal.
FMR is each fund's manager. The address of FMR and its affiliates, unless otherwise indicated below, is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.
<R>As of March 31, 2005, FMR had approximately $9.1 billion in discretionary assets under management.</R>
As the manager, FMR has overall responsibility for directing each fund's investments and handling its business affairs.
Affiliates assist FMR with foreign investments:
Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), at One Spartan Way, Merrimack, New Hampshire 03054, serves as a sub-adviser for each fund. FIMM has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for each fund.
<R>FIMM is an affiliate of FMR. As of March 31, 2005, FIMM had approximately $275.2 billion in discretionary assets under management.</R>
From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.
The monthly management fee for each fund is calculated by adding a group fee to an income-related fee. The income-related fee varies depending on the level of the fund's monthly gross income from an annualized rate of 0.05% (at a fund annualized gross yield of 0%) to 0.27% (at a fund annualized gross yield of 15%) of the fund's average net assets throughout the month. The group fee rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.
<R>For November 2005, the group fee rate was 0.12%.</R>
<R>The total management fee for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2005, was 0.20% of the fund's average net assets for U.S. Government Reserves and 0.20% of the fund's average net assets for Cash Reserves.</R>
FMR pays FIMM for providing sub-advisory services. FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a fund's expenses and boost its performance.
Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes each fund's shares.
<R>Intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, service-providers and administrators may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates compensation for providing recordkeeping and administrative services, as well as other retirement plan expenses, and compensation for services intended to result in the sales of shares of the fund. These payments are described in more detail in the statement of additional information (SAI).</R>
<R>Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, including retirement plan sponsors, service-providers and administrators, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments. </R>
<R>Any fees paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis pursuant to the Plan may increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.</R>
