SUPPLEMENT TO THE SPARTAN(registered trademark) SHORT-TERM BOND FUND AND
SPARTAN(registered trademark)
INVESTMENT GRADE BOND FUND NOVEMBER 21, 1996 PROSPECTUS
   The following information replaces the similar information found in the
"Expenses" section on page 5.
    ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES    are paid out of each fund's assets.
Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. Expenses are factored into each
fund's share price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see page 16). 
The following figures are based on historical expenses, adjusted to reflect
current fees, and are calculated as a percentage of average net assets. FMR
has entered into arrangements on behalf of the funds with the funds'
custodian and transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash
balances is used to offset a portion of the funds' expenses. Including
these reductions, the total operating expenses presented in the table would
have been .37% for Spartan Short-Term Bond.

EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that each fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described. For every
$1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses after
the number of years indicated, first assuming that you leave your account
open, and then assuming that you close your account at the end of the
period:

These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
   FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Spartan Short-Term Bond and
Spartan Investment Grade Bond to the extent that total operating expenses
exceed .38% of each fund's average net assets. If these agreements were not
in effect, the management fee, other expenses, and total operating expenses
would have been .65%, .00%, and .65%, respectively, for each fund. Expenses
eligible for reimbursement do not include interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, or extraordinary expenses.

The  following information replaces similar information found  on page 29.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00
from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an annual
maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will
be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened
after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to offset in part the
relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will not be
deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except
non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment
plans, or if total assets in Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the
$30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity accounts maintained by
FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same social security number or
which list the same social security number for the custodian of a Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.
