To the Commission:
On behalf of each above Registrant, this letter is in response to the comment you provided on May 5, 2008 during our telephone conference regarding the preliminary proxy of each Registrant filed on [or about] April 25, 2008.
Comment: With respect to the expenses of proxy solicitation for the change in fundamental polices, please explain why the expenses are being borne by the Funds, as contrasted to the proposals that are set forth in the preliminary proxy statement filed on April 25, 2008 by other Nuveen registrants that are being, in part, paid for by the investment adviser of those funds.

Response: The Board of Trustees/Directors of each Fund (the “Boards”) determined that the expenses of proxy solicitation for the proposals relating to the change in fundamental policies should be borne by the Funds because each Board believed that such changes would be beneficial to the shareholders by enhancing the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective and also allowing the Fund to be fully invested. In contrast, the proposals presented in the proxy statement with respect to the other Nuveen funds, filed on April 25, 2008 are, in part, being paid for by the investment adviser of those funds pursuant to an understanding negotiated between the investment adviser and the Boards of those funds. The Boards felt that the investment adviser would also benefit from the proposals to change the structure of those funds because it would be an improved investment product and thus more assets would likely be gained.
