1999 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

APRIL 21, 1999

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies on behalf of the Boards of Directors or Trustees (hereinafter the
"Directors") of the above-listed funds (each a "Fund" and, collectively, the
"Funds"), to be voted at the 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of each Fund
(the "Meeting"), to be held at the offices of Merrill Lynch Asset Management,
L.P. ("MLAM"), 800 Scudders Mill Road, Plainsboro, New Jersey, on Wednesday,
April 21, 1999 at the time specified in Exhibit A hereto. The approximate
mailing date of this Proxy Statement is March 22, 1999.

Each Fund is organized either as a Maryland corporation or a Massachusetts
business trust. In each jurisdiction, nomenclature varies. For ease and clarity
of presentation, throughout the proxy statement shares of common stock or
beneficial interest of a Fund are referred to as "Shares," the outstanding
Shares and auction market preferred stock ("AMPS") of a Fund are referred to
collectively as the "Capital Stock," holders of Shares or AMPS are referred to
as "stockholders," the Board of Directors or Trustees of each of the Funds is
referred to as the "Board," the directors or trustees of each Fund are referred
to as "Board members," the investment adviser of each Fund is referred to as the
"Investment Adviser" or "FAM" and each Fund's Articles of Incorporation or
Declaration of Trust is referred to as its "charter." Unless otherwise
indicated, MLAM and Fund Asset Management L.P. ("FAM") are together referred to
as "MLAM."

All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted
at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise
as provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked, proxies
will be voted for the election of the Board members, for the ratification of the
selection of independent auditors to serve for that Fund's current fiscal year
and for the amendment to the Articles Supplementary or Certificate of
Designation of the applicable Fund. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior
to the exercise thereof by giving written notice to the Secretary of the
applicable Fund at that Fund's address indicated above or by voting in person at
the Meeting.

The Board of each Fund has fixed the close of business on February 24, 1999
as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of stockholders
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof.
Stockholders on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share
held, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. As of the Record Date,
each Fund had outstanding the number of Shares and the number of shares of AMPS
indicated in Exhibit A. To the knowledge of each Fund, as of the Record Date, no
person is the beneficial owner of more than five percent of its outstanding
Shares or AMPS at such date.
7

The Board of each Fund knows of no business other than that mentioned in
Items 1, 2 and 3 of the Notice of Meeting that will be presented for
consideration at the Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented, it is
the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote in accordance
with their best judgment.

ITEM 1. ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS

At the Meetings, the Board members of each Fund will be elected to serve
until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders for such Fund and until their
successors are elected and qualified. It is intended that all properly executed
proxies will be voted (unless such authority has been withheld in the proxy) as
follows:

(1) All proxies of the holders of AMPS, voting separately as a class,
in favor of the two (2) persons designated in Exhibit A as Board members to
be elected by holders of AMPS; and

(2) All proxies of the holders of Shares and AMPS, voting together as
a single class, in favor of the six (6) persons designated in Exhibit A as
Board members to be elected by holders of shares and AMPS.

The Board of each Fund knows of no reason why any of these nominees will be
unable to serve, but in the event of any such unavailability, the proxies
received will be voted for such substitute nominee or nominees as the Board for
such Fund may recommend.

Certain information concerning the nominees is set forth below. Additional
information concerning the nominees and other information relevant to the
election of Board members is set forth in Exhibit A.

investment adviser. See "Compensation of Board Members" in Exhibit A.
(2) Member of the Audit Committee of each Board.
(3) Please see Exhibit A for information with respect to each Fund indicating
the names of the nominees to be elected by holders of AMPS, voting

* Interested person, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Investment Company Act"), of each of the Funds.

Committee and Board Meetings. The Board of each Fund has a standing Audit
Committee, which consists of Board members who are not "interested persons" of
the Fund within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. The principal purpose
of the Audit Committee is to review the scope of the annual audit conducted by
the Fund's independent auditors and the evaluation by such auditors of the
accounting procedures followed by the Fund. The non-interested Board members
have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with these
duties. No Fund's Board has a nominating committee.

During each Fund's last fiscal year, each of the Board members then in
office attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of
the Board held during the fiscal year and, if a member, of the total number of
meetings of the Audit Committee held during the period for which he served.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), requires the officers and directors of each Fund and persons
who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Fund's equity
securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4
and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Stock
Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are
required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all Forms 3, 4
and 5 they file.

Based solely on each Fund's review of the copies of such forms, and
amendments thereto, furnished to it during or with respect to its most recent
fiscal year, and written representations from certain reporting persons that
they were not required to file Form 5 with respect to the most recent fiscal
year, each Fund believes that all of its officers, directors, greater than ten
percent beneficial owners and other persons subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act because of the requirements of Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act, (i.e., any advisory board member, investment adviser or affiliated person
of the Fund's investment adviser), have complied with all filing requirements
applicable to them with respect to transactions during the Fund's most recent
fiscal year, except that Michael J. Hennewinkel inadvertently made a late Form 3
filing reporting his election as a Senior Vice President of FAM, which report
indicated that he owned no shares of any of the Funds.

Interested Persons. Each Fund considers Mr. Zeikel and Mr. Glenn to be
"interested persons" of the Funds within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the
Investment Company Act because of the positions each holds or has held with FAM
and its affiliates. Mr. Glenn is the President of each Fund.

Compensation of Board Members. FAM, the investment adviser of each Fund,
pays all compensation to all officers of the Fund and all Board members of the
Fund who are affiliated with ML & Co. or its subsidiaries. Each Fund pays each
Board member not affiliated with FAM (each a "non-affiliated Board member") an
annual fee plus a fee for each meeting attended, and each Fund also pays each
member of its Audit Committee, which consists of all of the non-affiliated Board
members, an annual fee plus a fee for each meeting attended, together with such
non-affiliated Board member's out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at
such meetings. Information with respect to fees and expenses paid to the
non-affiliated Directors for each Fund's most recently completed fiscal year is
set forth in Exhibit A.

Officers of the Funds. Information regarding the officers of each Fund is
set forth in Exhibit A. Officers of the Funds are elected and appointed by the
Board and hold office until they resign, are removed or are otherwise
disqualified to serve.

Stock Ownership. As of the Record Date, none of the nominees held shares
of the Funds except as set forth in the table below:

NO. OF SHARES
NOMINEE FUND AND CLASS OF SHARES HELD
------- ------------------------ -------------

Terry K. Glenn.................... MuniYield Pennsylvania Fund -- Common Shares 33,796

At the Record Date, the Board members and officers of each Fund as a group
owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the Shares of the Fund outstanding at such
date and owned none of the AMPS outstanding at such date. At such date, Mr.
Zeikel, a Board member of each Fund, Mr. Glenn, an officer and a Board member of
each Fund and the other officers of each Fund owned an aggregate of less than 1%
of the outstanding shares of common stock of ML & Co.

ITEM 2. RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of each Fund (other than MuniVest New Jersey Fund, Inc. and
MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc.), including a majority of the Board
members who are not interested persons of the Fund, has selected the firm of
Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T"), independent auditors, to examine the financial
statements of the Fund for the current fiscal year. The Boards of MuniVest New
Jersey Fund, Inc. and MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc., including a
majority of the Board members who are not interested persons of MuniVest New
Jersey Fund, Inc. or MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc., have selected Ernst
& Young LLP ("E&Y"), independent auditors, to examine the financial statements
of MuniVest New Jersey Fund, Inc. and MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. for
the current fiscal year. No Fund knows of any direct or indirect financial
interest of such auditors in the Fund. Such appointment is subject to
ratification or rejection by the stockholders of each Fund. Unless a contrary
specification is made, the accompanying proxy will be voted in favor of
ratifying the selection of such auditors.

D&T acts as independent auditor for each of the Funds, except MuniVest New
Jersey Fund, Inc. and MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc., for which E&Y acts
as independent auditor. D&T also acts as independent auditors for ML & Co. and
all of its subsidiaries and for most other investment companies advised by FAM
or MLAM. E&Y also acts as independent auditors for other investment companies
advised by FAM or MLAM. The fees received by the independent auditors from these
other entities are substantially greater, in the aggregate, than the total fees
received by the independent auditors from each applicable Fund. The Board of
each Fund considered the fact that (i) D&T has been retained as the independent
auditors for ML & Co. and the other entities described above and (ii) E&Y has
been retained as the independent auditors for other investment companies advised
by FAM or MLAM in its evaluation of the independence of the independent auditors
with respect to the Fund.

Representatives of D&T and E&Y are expected to be present at the Meetings
and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to
respond to questions from stockholders.

ITEM 3. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY

OR CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

At meetings held February 3, 1999, the Board of each of the Funds approved
amendments to Section 5(c) of the Articles Supplementary or Certificate of
Designation, as applicable, of that Fund. The proposed amendment of Section 5(c)
will affect issued and outstanding AMPS. The proposed amendment is described
below and a form of amended Section 5(c) is attached to this Proxy Statement as
Exhibit B-1 for the Maryland corporations and as Exhibit B-2 for the
Massachusetts business trusts. Information about each Fund's jurisdiction of
organization and its Articles Supplementary or Certificate of Designation is
included in Exhibit A. The Board of each Fund has declared the amendment
advisable and has directed that the proposed amendments be submitted to the
stockholders of each of the Funds for approval at the Meeting. The Board
recommends that the stockholders of each Fund approve the proposed amendments to
that Fund's Articles Supplementary or Certificate of Designation.

Currently, the Articles Supplementary or Certificate of Designation of each
Fund require the approval of a majority of a Fund's outstanding AMPS in order to
issue any additional shares of AMPS or any other preferred stock. The proposed
amendment would delete this requirement and permit each Fund, upon Board
approval, to issue additional shares of preferred stock, including AMPS, without
obtaining stockholder approval.

5
11

The proposed amendment provides the Board and each Fund with greater
flexibility to adjust a Fund's leverage in response to market conditions. The
proposed amendment permits the Board members authorize a Fund to issue
additional AMPS in order to maintain each Fund's targeted level of financial
leverage without the time delays and costs involved with seeking stockholder
approval each time a Fund wishes to issue additional AMPS.

The issuance of additional AMPS may provide holders of Shares with a
potentially higher yield. The use of leverage, however, involves certain risks
for holders of Shares, including higher volatility of both the net asset value
and the market value of the Shares. Leverage also creates the risk that the
investment return on the Fund's Shares will be reduced to the extent the
dividends paid on preferred stock and other expenses of the preferred stock
exceed the income earned by the Fund on its investments. If the Fund is
liquidated, preferred stockholders will be entitled to receive liquidating
distributions before any distribution is made to holders of Shares.

The fee paid to the Investment Adviser for investment advisory and
management services is based on the Fund's average weekly net assets, including
assets acquired from the sale of preferred stock. Therefore, the fee paid to the
Investment Adviser will increase as a result of any issuance of additional AMPS
or other preferred stock.

Any issuance of additional shares of preferred stock by a Fund must be in
compliance with the 200% asset coverage requirement of Section 18 of the
Investment Company Act. Also, the Funds currently anticipate that any additional
shares of preferred stock to be issued would also be AMPS and that any such AMPS
would be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("NRSROs") as are all currently outstanding AMPS. These NRSROs, in rating the
additional AMPS, will impose their own asset coverage requirements on the
additional AMPS.

If additional AMPS or other shares of preferred stock are issued by a Fund,
except as indicated below and as otherwise required by applicable law, holders
of shares of any newly issued AMPS or other preferred stock will have equal
voting rights with outstanding Shares and AMPS (one vote per share) and will
vote together with holders of outstanding Shares and AMPS as a single class.

In connection with the election of a Fund's Board members, holders of
shares of any newly issued AMPS or other preferred stock and the outstanding
AMPS, voting together as a separate class, will be entitled to elect two of the
Fund's Board members, and the remaining Board members will be elected by all
holders of Capital Stock. If at any time dividends on shares of the Fund's
preferred stock shall be unpaid in an amount equal to two full years' dividends
thereon, the holders of any newly issued AMPS or other preferred stock and the
outstanding AMPS, voting together as a separate class, will be entitled to elect
a majority of the Fund's Board members until all dividends in default have been
paid or declared and set apart for payment. Also, the affirmative vote of the
holders of any newly issued AMPS or other preferred stock and the outstanding
AMPS, voting together as a separate class, will be required to approve any plan
of reorganization adversely affecting such shares or any action requiring a vote
of security holders under Section 13(a) of the Investment Company Act, including
any vote to convert the Fund to an open-end investment company or to change the
Fund's fundamental investment policies.

Stockholders will not be entitled to appraisal rights under Maryland law
with respect to Maryland corporations and under Massachusetts law with respect
to Massachusetts business trusts.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The expenses of preparation, printing and mailing of the enclosed form of
proxy and accompanying Notice and Proxy Statement will be borne by the Funds in
proportion to their respective net assets. The Funds will reimburse banks,
brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy
solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the shares of the Funds.

In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the Meeting (i.e., a majority of
the shares of each class of securities of each Fund entitled to vote at the
Meeting, present in person or by proxy), supplementary solicitation may be made
by mail, telephone, telegraph or personal interview by officers of the Fund.
Each Fund has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to assist in the solicitation of
proxies at a cost to each Fund of approximately $5,000 plus out-of-pocket
expenses.

All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies
have previously been revoked, will be voted at the Meetings in accordance with
the directions on the proxies; if no direction is indicated, the shares will be
voted "FOR" the Board member nominees, "FOR" the ratification of the independent
auditors and "FOR" the amendment to the Articles Supplementary or Certificate of
Designation.

With respect to Item 1. "Election of Board Members," holders of AMPS,
voting separately as a class, are entitled to elect two Board members and
holders of Capital Stock, voting together as a single class, are entitled to
elect the remaining Board members. Assuming a quorum is present, (A) with
respect to Maryland corporations, (i) election of the two Board members to be
elected by the holders of AMPS, voting separately as a class, will require a
plurality of all votes cast by the holders of AMPS, represented at the Meeting
and entitled to vote; and (ii) election of the remaining Board members will
require a plurality of all votes cast by the holders of Capital Stock
represented at the Meeting and entitled to vote, voting together as a single
class; (B) with respect to Massachusetts business trusts, (i) election of the
two Board members to be elected by the holders of AMPS, voting separately as a
class, will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the AMPS present at
the Meeting in person or by proxy and (ii) election of the remaining Board
members will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Capital
Stock present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, voting together as a single
class.

With respect to Item 2. "Ratification of Selection of Independent
Auditors," assuming a quorum is present (A) with respect to Maryland
corporations, approval will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the
votes cast by the holders of shares of Capital Stock represented at the Meeting
and entitled to vote, voting together as a single class; and (B) with respect to
Massachusetts business trusts, approval will require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the shares of Capital Stock present at the meeting in person or by
proxy, voting together as a single class.

With respect to Item 3. "Proposed Amendment To Articles Supplementary or
Certificate of Designation," assuming a quorum is present, (A) with respect to
the Maryland corporations, approval of the amendment to each Fund's Articles
Supplementary will require the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the
outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the relevant Fund, voting together as a
single class, and (ii) a majority of the outstanding AMPS of the relevant Funds,
voting separately as a class; and (B) with respect to Massachusetts business
trusts, approval of the amendment to each Fund's Certificate of Designation will
require the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the shares of Capital Stock of
the relevant Fund outstanding and entitled to vote, voting together as a single
class, and (ii) vote of two-thirds of the AMPS of the relevant Fund outstanding
and entitled to vote, voting separately as a class.

Broker-dealer firms, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated ("MLPF&S"), holding shares of each Fund in "street name" for the
benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such
customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Item before the
Meeting. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the New York Stock
Exchange, such broker-dealer firms may, without instructions from their
customers and clients, grant authority to the proxies designated to vote on the
election of Board members (Item 1) and ratification of the selection of
independent auditors (Item 2) if no instructions have been received prior to the
date specified in the broker-dealer firm's request for voting instructions.
Broker-dealer firms, including MLPF&S, will not be permitted to grant voting
authority without instructions with respect to amending the Articles
Supplementary or Certificate of Designation (Item 3). The Funds will include
shares held of record by broker-dealers as to which such authority has been
granted in their tabulation of the total number of votes present for purposes of
determining whether the necessary quorum of stockholders exists. Proxies that
are returned to the Fund but that are marked "abstain" or on which a broker-
dealer has declined to vote on any proposal ("broker non-votes") will be counted
as present for purposes of a quorum. MLPF&S has advised the Fund that it intends
to vote shares held in its name for which no instructions are received, except
as limited by agreement or applicable law, on Items 1 and 2 in the same
proportion as the votes received from beneficial owners of those shares for
which instructions have been received, whether or not held in nominee name.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast. Abstentions
and broker non-votes, therefore, will not have an effect on the vote on Item 1
or Item 2 (in the case of Maryland corporations); however, abstentions and
broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Item 3 (in the case
of Maryland corporations) and as a vote against Item 1, Item 2 and Item 3 (in
the case of Massachusetts business trusts).

Management knows of no other matters to be presented at the special
meeting. However, if other matters are presented for a vote at the meeting or
any adjournments thereof, the proxy holders will vote the shares represented by
properly executed proxies according to their judgment on those matters.

ADDRESS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER

The principal office of FAM is located at 800 Scudders Mill Road,
Plainsboro, New Jersey 08536.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

If a stockholder of a Fund intends to present a proposal at the 2000 Annual

Section 5(c) of the Articles Supplementary is revised to read as follows
(the bold face text indicates language added; brackets indicate language
deleted):

Right to Vote with Respect to Certain Other Matters. So long as any
shares of AMPS are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the
Preferred Stock Outstanding at the time, voting separately as one class:
(i) authorize, create or issue [, or increase the authorized or issued
amount of,] any class or series of stock ranking prior to THE AMPS or [on a
parity with] any OTHER series of Preferred Stock with respect to payment of
dividends or the distribution of assets on liquidation, [or increase the
authorized amount of AMPS or any other Preferred Stock] or (ii) amend,
alter or repeal the provisions of the Charter, whether by merger,
consolidation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect any of the contract
rights expressly set forth in the Charter of holders of shares of AMPS or
any other Preferred Stock. To the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, in
the event shares of more than one series of AMPS are outstanding, the
Corporation shall not approve any of the actions set forth in clause (i) or
(ii) which adversely affects the contract rights expressly set forth in the
Charter of a Holder of shares of a series of AMPS differently than those of
a Holder of shares of any other series of AMPS without the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of AMPS of each series
adversely affected and outstanding at such time (each such adversely
affected series voting separately as a class). The Corporation shall notify
Moody's and S&P ten Business Days prior to any such vote described in
clause (i) or (ii). Unless a higher percentage is provided for under the
Charter, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, including AMPS, voting together as a
single class, will be required to approve any plan of reorganization
(including bankruptcy proceedings) adversely affecting such shares or any
action requiring a vote of security holders under Section 13(a) of the 1940

AMPS, described above will in each case be in addition to a separate vote
of the requisite percentage of shares of Common Stock and shares of
Preferred Stock, including AMPS, voting together as a single class
necessary to authorize the action in question.
