Item 77Q (1)  Amended By-Laws

At the quarterly meeting of the Trustees held on October 7,
2005, the Trustees unanimously approved the amendment to Section
4 of the Fund's By-laws.

Section 4.  Proxies.  At any meeting of Shareholders, any holder
of Shares entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided
that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have
been placed on file with the Secretary, or with such other
officer or agent of the Trust as the Secretary may direct, for
verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be
taken.  Any Shareholder may give instructions for another person
to execute his or her proxy through telephonic, electronic or
telegraphic methods of communication or via facsimile or the
Internet or other reasonable means if, in each case, such method
or means has been authorized by the officers of the Trust, and
pursuant in each case to procedures established or approved by
the officers of the Trust as reasonably designed to verify that
such instructions have been authorized by such Shareholder; and
the placing of a Shareholder's name on a proxy pursuant to such
instructions shall constitute execution of such proxy by or
behalf of such Shareholder. Pursuant to a resolution of a
majority of the Trustees, proxies may be solicited in the name
of one or more Trustees or one or more of the officers of the
Trust.  Only Shareholders of record shall be entitled to vote.
Each full Share shall be entitled to one vote and fractional
Shares shall be entitled to a vote of such fraction.  When any
Share is held jointly by several persons, any one of them may
vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect to such
Share, but if more than one of them shall be present at such
meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their
proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote
shall not be received in respect of such Share.  A proxy
purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Shareholder shall
be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise,
and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the
challenger.  If the holder of any such Share is a minor or a
person of unsound mind, and subject to guardianship or to the
legal control of any other person as regards the charge or
management of such Share, he may vote by his guardian or such
other person appointed or having such control, and such vote may
be given in person or by proxy. Unless otherwise specifically
limited by their terms, proxies shall entitle the holder thereof
to vote at any adjournment of a meeting.
