SUPPLEMENT TO THE 
FIDELITY SHORT-INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT FUND 
NOVEMBER 28, 1997 PROSPECTUS    
   FMR anticipates presenting a proposal to the Board of Trustees of
Fidelity Short-Intermediate Government Fund requesting their approval
to present shareholders of the fund a proposal to merge the fund into
Fidelity Intermediate Government Income Fund (formerly Spartan Limited
Maturity Government Fund).    
   As a result, effective the close of business on June 26, 1998, the
fund's shares will no longer be available to new accounts.
Shareholders of the fund on that date may continue to purchase shares
in accounts existing on that date. Investors who did not own shares of
the fund on June 26, 1998, generally will not be allowed to purchase
shares of the fund except that new accounts may be established: 1) by
participants in most group employer retirement plans (and their
successor plans) in which the fund had been established as an
investment option by June 26, 1998, and 2) for accounts managed on a
discretionary basis by certain registered investment advisors that
have discretionary assets of at least $1 billion invested in mutual
funds and have included the fund in their discretionary account
program since June 26, 1998. These restrictions generally will apply
to investments made directly with Fidelity and investments made
through intermediaries. Investors may be required to demonstrate
eligibility to purchase shares of the fund before an investment is
accepted.    
   The following information replaces similar information found in the
"Breakdown of Expenses" section beginning on page 14.    
The fund has adopted a DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. This plan
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 the distribution of fund
shares. FMR directly, or through FDC, may make payments to third
parties, such as banks or broker-dealers, that engage in the sale of,
or provide shareholder support services for, the fund's shares.
Currently, t   he Board of Trustees has authorized such payments.
