Item 61

Additional Information About Minimum Required Investment

Shareholders can open a fund account with as little as $500 and
make subsequent investments in any amount. The minimum investment
is waived if you make regular investments weekly, semimonthly, or
monthly through automatic deductions through your bank checking
or savings account. Currently, Putnam is waiving the minimum, but
reserves the right to reject initial investments under the
minimum.
