	Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:

The proposal requests that the Board of Trustees of the Fund take all necessary steps in its power to declassify the Board so that all directors are elected on an annual basis starting at the next annual meeting of shareholders.  Such declassification shall be completed in a manner that does not affect the unexpired terms of the previously elected trustees.
