Dreyfus Dividend ACH permits a shareholder to transfer electronically their dividend or dividends and capital gains, if any, from the Fund to a designated bank account. Only an account maintained at a domestic financial institution which is an Automated Clearing House member may be so designated. Banks may charge a fee for this service. For more information concerning Dreyfus Dividend ACH, or to request a Dividend Options form, please call toll free 1-800-645-6561. You may cancel this privilege by mailing written notification to The Dreyfus Family of Funds, P.O. Box 9671, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-9671. Enrollment or cancellation is effective three business days following receipt. This privilege is available only for existing accounts. The Fund may modify or terminate this privilege at any time or charge a service fee. No such fee is currently contemplated. ____________________________________________________________________________ The fifth paragraph of the section of the Fund's Statement of Additional Information entitled "Investment Objective and Management Policies" is revised to read as follows: Municipal lease obligations or installment purchase contract obligations (collectively, "lease obligations") have special risks not ordinarily associated with Municipal Obligations. Although lease obligations do not constitute general obligations of the municipality for which the municipality's taxing power is pledged, a lease obligation ordinarily is backed by the municipality's covenant to budget for, appropriate and make the payments due under the lease obligation. However, certain lease obligations contain "non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments in future years unless money is appropriated for such purpose on a yearly basis. Although "non-appropriation" lease obligations are secured by the leased property, disposition of the property in the event of foreclosure might prove difficult. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission currently considers certain lease obligations to be illiquid. Determination as to the liquidity of such securities is made in accordance with guidelines established by the Fund's Board. Pursuant to such guidelines, the Board has directed the Manager to monitor carefully the Fund's investment in such securities with particular regard to (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the lease obligation; (2) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the lease obligation and the number of other potential buyers; (3) the willingness of dealers to undertake to make a market in the lease obligation; (4) the nature of the marketplace trades including the time needed to dispose of the lease obligation, the method of soliciting offers and the mechanics of transfer; and (5) such other factors concerning the trading market for the lease obligation as the Manager may deem relevant. In addition, in evaluating the liquidity and credit quality of a lease obligation that is unrated, the Fund's Board has directed the Manager to consider (a) whether the lease can be cancelled; (b) what assurance there is that the assets represented by the lease can be sold; (c) the strength of the lessee's general credit (e.g., its debt, administrative, economic, and financial characteristics); (d) the likelihood that the municipality will discontinue appropriating funding for the leased property because the property is not longer deemed essential to the operations of the municipality (e.g., the potential for an "event of nonappropriation"); (e) the legal recourse in the event of failure to appropriate; and (f) such other factors concerning credit quality as the Manager may deem relevant. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets in lease obligations that are illiquid and in other illiquid securities. See "Investment Restriction No. 11" below. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
