The following information replaces similar information found in the "Transaction Details" section on page P-41: FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00 from accounts with a value of less than $2,500 (including any amount paid as a sales charge), 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. IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $2,000, you will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the day your account is closed.

A fund may invest in money market securities, in repurchase agreements, and in a money market fund available only to funds and accounts managed by FMR or its affiliates, whose goal is to seek a high level of current income while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price.

SUPPLEMENT TO FIDELITY'S INTERNATIONAL BOND FUNDS FEBRUARY 26, 1996 AS REVISED JULY 16, 1996 STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The following information replaces similar information found in the "Investment Policies and Limitations" section for each fund: (i) In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits imposed by Subchapter M. (viii) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of other investment companies, except in the open market where no commission except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain securities issued by other open-end investment companies. Limitations (a) and (b) do not apply (i) to securities received as dividends, through offers of exchange, or as a result of a reorganization, consolidation, or merger, or (ii) to securities of other open-end investment companies managed by FMR or a successor or affiliate purchased pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the SEC. For purposes of limitation (i), Subchapter M generally requires the fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities of any one issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter M) and securities of other investment companies. These tax requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the fund's taxable year. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
