substantially similar to that of the final prospectus for this Series.
Information with respect to pricing, the number of units, dates and summary

is subject to completion or amendment. The units of this Series may neither be
sold nor may an offer to buy such units be accepted prior to the time the
registration statement becomes effective. This prospectus shall neither
constitute an offer to sell nor be considered a solicitation of an offer to buy
the units. There shall be no sale of the units in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such state.
For purposes of the Strategic Income Trust incorporated herein by reference
