94104-2792, on Wednesday, November 17, 2004, at 8:30 a.m., San Francisco time
(for each Fund, an "Annual Meeting" and collectively, the "Annual Meetings"),
and at any and all adjournments thereof.
On the matters coming before each Annual Meeting as to which a choice has been
specified by shareholders on the proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If
a proxy is returned and no choice is specified, the shares will be voted FOR the
election of the nominees as listed in this Joint Proxy Statement. Shareholders
who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing
with that Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in
person.
This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about
October 18, 2004.
The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement
for each Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund and its
shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by
the shareholders.

The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to
each matter:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMON PREFERRED
MATTER SHARES SHARES(1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1a(i). Election of five (5) Board Members by all X X
shareholders (except California Value).
a(ii). Election of two (2) Board Members by Preferred X
Shares only (except California Value).
b. Election of three (3) Board Members for X N/A
California Value by all shareholders.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Taxable Auctioned Preferred Shares for Senior Income; FundPreferred
shares for Floating Rate, Preferred Convertible, Preferred Convertible
2, Quality Preferred, Quality Preferred 2 and Quality Preferred 3; and
Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares for each other Fund
are referred to as "Preferred Shares."
A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Annual Meeting. A
majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting, represented in
person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Annual
Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member nominees to be
elected by holders of Preferred Shares of each Fund (except California Value),
33 1/3% of the Preferred Shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by
proxy will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Annual
Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that
Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a
quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat
abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees,
typically in "street name," as to which (i) instructions have not been received
from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or
nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as
present for purposes of determining a quorum.
For purposes of determining the approval of the proposal to elect nominees for
each of the Massachusetts Business Trusts, abstentions and broker non-votes will
have no effect on the election of Board Members. For purposes of determining the
approval of the proposal to elect nominees for each of the Minnesota
Corporations, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote
against the election of Board Members. The details of the proposal to be voted
on by the shareholders and the vote required for approval of the proposal is set
forth under the description of the proposal below.
Preferred Shares held in "street name" as to which voting instructions have not
been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote as of one
business day before the Annual Meeting, or, if adjourned, one business day
before the day to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned, and that would
otherwise be treated as "broker non-votes" may, pursuant to Rule 452 of the New
York Stock Exchange, be voted by the broker on the proposal in the same
proportion as the votes cast by all Preferred shareholders as a class who have
voted on the proposal or in the same proportion as the votes cast by all
Preferred shareholders of the Fund who have voted on that item. Rule 452 permits
proportionate voting of Preferred Shares with respect to a particular item if,
among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a
series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such
shares with respect to such item and (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares
or shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the
holders of such shares against such item. For the purpose of meeting the 30%
test, abstentions will be treated as
5
shares "voted" and, for the purpose of meeting the 10% test, abstentions will
not be treated as shares "voted" against the item.
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on
September 23, 2004 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of
September 23, 2004, the shares of the Funds issued and outstanding were as
follows:

ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS
GENERAL
At each Fund's Annual Meeting, Board Members are to be elected to serve until
the next Annual Meeting or until their successors shall have been duly elected
and qualified. Under the terms of each Fund's organizational documents (except
California Value), under normal circumstances, holders of Preferred Shares are
entitled to elect two (2) Board Members, and the remaining Board Members are to
be elected by holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares, voting together as
a single class. Pursuant to the organizational documents of California Value,
the Board is divided into three classes, with each class being elected to serve
a term of three years. For California Value, three (3) Board Members are
nominated to be elected at this meeting to serve for multiple year terms.
A. FOR EACH FUND EXCEPT CALIFORNIA VALUE:
(i) Five (5) Board Members are to be elected by holders of Common Shares
and Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class. Board Members
Bremner, Brown, Evans, Hunter and Stockdale are nominees for election
by all shareholders.
(ii) Holders of Preferred Shares, each series voting together as a single
class, are entitled to elect two (2) of the Board Members. Board
Members Schneider and Schwertfeger are nominees for election by
holders of Preferred Shares.
B. FOR CALIFORNIA VALUE: The Board of California Value has designated Board
Members Brown and Schwertfeger as Class I Board Members, and as nominees for
Board Members for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders in
2007, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The
Board of California Value has designated Board Member Hunter as a Class II
Board Member, and as a nominee for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
shareholders in 2005. The remaining Board Members Bremner, Evans, Schneider
and Stockdale are current and continuing Board Members. The Board of
California Value has designated Board Members Bremner, Evans, Schneider and
Stockdale as continuing Class III Board Members for terms that expire in
2006.
For each Minnesota Corporation, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect the
Board Members of that Minnesota Corporation. For each Massachusetts Business
Trust, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present and entitled to
vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect the Board Members of that
Massachusetts Business Trust.
8
Under each Fund's retirement policy for Board Members who are not "interested"
persons of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended ("1940 Act"), ("Independent Board Members"), which provides that
Independent Board Members will retire at the earlier of age 72 or after board
service of 15 years, former Board Members Thomas E. Leafstrand and Sheila W.
Wellington retired on June 30, 2004 and will therefore not stand for
re-election. In addition, former Board Members Anne E. Impellizzeri, William L.
Kissick and Peter R. Sawers, who did not reached the age or service period at
which retirement would be called for under the retirement policy, also retired
on June 30, 2004 and will therefore not stand for re-election. Former Board
Member William E. Bennett, who also did not reach the age or service period at
which retirement would be called for under the retirement policy, resigned
effective April 30, 2004 and will therefore not stand for re-election.
It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the
shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees listed below unless
the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a
Board Member of each Fund if elected. However, should any nominee become unable
or unwilling to accept nomination for election, the proxies will be voted for
substitute nominees, if any, designated by that Fund's present Board.
Except for California Value, Floating Rate and Preferred Convertible 2, all of
the Board Member nominees except Board Member Hunter were last elected to each
Fund's Board at the 2003 annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Hunter was
appointed on February 15, 2004 and May 16, 2004 to the Boards of the Minnesota
Corporations and Massachusetts Business Trusts, respectively. Mr. Hunter is
presented in this Joint Proxy Statement as a nominee for election by
shareholders. Mr. Hunter was nominated by the nominating and governance
committee of each Fund Board. Board Members Bremner, Evans, Schneider and
Stockdale were last elected as Class III members of the Board of California
Value at the 2003 annual meeting of shareholders. Board Members Brown and
Schwertfeger were last elected as Class I members of the Board of California
Value at the 2001 annual meeting of shareholders. This is the first Annual
Meeting of Floating Rate and Preferred Convertible 2. The continuing Board
Member nominees of Floating Rate and Preferred Convertible 2 were elected by the
initial shareholder of the Fund, Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC"),
on March 10, 2004 and June 24, 2003, respectively.
Other than Mr. Schwertfeger, none of the Board Member nominees has ever been a
director or an employee of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), the Advisers'
parent company, or any affiliate.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE
NOMINEES NAMED BELOW.

On July 31, 2004, Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially
owned 1,013,278 common shares of all funds managed by Nuveen Advisory Corp.
("NAC") and NIAC (collectively, the "Advisers") (includes Deferred Units and
shares held by the executive officers in Nuveen's 401(k)/profit sharing plan).
Each Board Member's individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constitute
less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of July 31, 2004, the
Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1%
of the outstanding common shares of each Fund. As of September 23, 2004, no
shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund.
Board Member Schwertfeger sold 330,950 shares of Class A Stock of Nuveen on the
New York Stock Exchange since June 1, 2003. Mr. Schwertfeger received $9,483,036
in exchange for his shares of Nuveen.
COMPENSATION
For all Nuveen funds overseen, Independent Board Members receive a $65,000
annual retainer plus (a) a fee of $2,000 per day for attendance in person or by
telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $1,000 per
day for attendance in person where such in-person attendance is required and
$500 per day for attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance
is not required at a special, non-regularly scheduled board meeting; (c) a fee
of $1,000 per day for attendance in person at an audit committee meeting where
in-person attendance is required and $500 per day for attendance by telephone or
in person where in-person attendance is not required; (d) a fee of $500 per day
for attendance in person or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend
committee; and (e) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in person at all other
committee meetings on a day on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is
held in which in-person attendance is required and $250 per day for attendance
by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not
required (except that the executive committees acting as the pricing committee
will receive $100 per day), plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending
such meetings. In addition to the payments described above, the chairperson of
each committee of the Board (except the dividend committee and executive
committee) shall receive $5,000 to be paid as an addition to the annual retainer
paid to such individuals. When ad hoc committees are organized, the Board may
provide for additional compensation to be paid to the members of such
committees. The annual retainer, fees and expenses are allocated among the funds
managed by each Fund's adviser, NAC or NIAC (as applicable), on the basis of
relative net asset sizes although fund management may, in its discretion,
establish a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund. As noted above, former
Board Members Impellizzeri, Kissick and Sawers retired on June 30, 2004. These
three Board Members received a payment of $75,000 at the time of their
retirement as partial compensation for the earnings they would have received if
they had continued as Independent Board Members until the time specified in the
current retirement policy. The Board Member affiliated with Nuveen and the
Advisers serves without any compensation from the Funds.
The boards of certain Nuveen funds (the "Participating Funds") established a
Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members ("Deferred Compensation
Plan"). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Independent Board Members of the
Participating Funds may defer receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation
they earn for their services to the Participating Funds, in lieu of receiving
current payments of such compensation. Any deferred amount is treated as though
an equivalent dollar amount had been invested in shares of one or more eligible
Nuveen funds. Each Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected
to
21
defer at least a portion of his or her fees. The funds that are Participating
Funds under the Deferred Compensation Plan are Preferred Convertible, Preferred
Convertible 2, Quality Preferred, Quality Preferred 2, Quality Preferred 3,
Senior Income, California Value, California Performance, California Investment,
California Select, California Quality, Insured California 2, California
Dividend, California Dividend 2, California Dividend 3, Insured California
Dividend, Insured Florida Premium, Florida Investment, Florida Quality, Michigan
Quality, New Jersey Investment, New Jersey Premium, Pennsylvania Premium 2 and
Pennsylvania Investment.
22
The table below shows, for each Board Member who is not affiliated with Nuveen
or the Advisers, the aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Fund to each Board
Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid (including deferred fees) for
service on the boards of the Nuveen open-end and closed-end funds managed by NAC
("NAC Funds") and NIAC ("NIAC Funds") for the calendar year ended 2003. Mr.
Schwertfeger, a Board Member who is an interested person of the Funds, does not
receive any compensation from the Funds or any Nuveen funds.

activities of their community. These programs include a matching contributions
program and a direct contributions program. The Independent Board Members of the
funds managed by NAC or NIAC are eligible to participate in the charitable
contributions program of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Under the matching program,
Nuveen Investments, Inc. will match the personal contributions of a Board Member
to Section 501(c)(3) organizations up to an aggregate maximum amount of $10,000
during any calendar year. Under its direct (non-matching) program, Nuveen

organizations, as approved by the Corporate Contributions Committee of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. The Independent Board Members are also eligible to submit
proposals to the Committee requesting that contributions be made under this

aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000 during any calendar year. Any
contributions made by Nuveen Investments, Inc. under the direct program is made
solely at the discretion of the Corporate Contributions Committee.
COMMITTEES
The Board of each Fund has five standing committees: the executive committee,
the audit committee, the nominating and governance committee, the dividend
committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight
committee.
Robert P. Bremner, Judith M. Stockdale and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, serve
as members of the executive committee of each Fund. The executive committee,
which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all
of the powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the
executive committee, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the full Board,
is limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is
impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to
quickly notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the
executive committee) and (ii) matters of an administrative or ministerial
nature. The executive committee of each Fund held no meetings during its last
fiscal year, except the executive committee of Preferred Convertible 2 held one
meeting and the executive committee of Floating Rate held three meetings during
its last fiscal year.
Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, are current
members of the dividend committee of each Fund. The dividend committee is
authorized to declare distributions on the Fund's shares including, but not
limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income
distributions. The dividend committee of each Fund held five meetings during its
last fiscal year, except the dividend committee of Preferred Convertible 2 held
six meetings and the dividend committee of Floating Rate held two meetings
during its last fiscal year.
Lawrence H. Brown, William C. Hunter, William J. Schneider, Chair, and Judith M.
Stockdale are current members of the compliance, risk management and regulatory
oversight committee of each Fund. The compliance, risk management and regulatory
oversight committee is responsible for the oversight of compliance issues, risk
management, and other regulatory matters affecting the Funds which are not
otherwise the jurisdiction of the other Board committees. As part of its duties
regarding compliance matters, the committee is responsible for the oversight of
the Pricing Procedures of the Funds and the Valuation Group. The compliance,
risk management and regulatory oversight committee of each Fund held four
meetings during its last fiscal year, except the compliance, risk management and
regulatory
28
oversight committee of the Florida Funds held five meetings and the compliance,
risk management and regulatory oversight committee of the Connecticut Funds, the
Georgia Funds, the Maryland Funds, the Massachusetts Funds, Missouri Premium,
the North Carolina Funds and the Virginia Funds held three meetings during its
last fiscal year.
Each Fund's Board has an audit committee, established in accordance with Section
3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"),
composed of Independent Board Members who are "independent" as that term is
defined in the listing standards pertaining to closed-end funds of the New York
Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange, as applicable. The audit committee
monitors the accounting and reporting policies and practices of the Funds, the
quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Funds, compliance by
the Funds with legal and regulatory requirements and the independence and
performance of the external and internal auditors. The audit committee reviews
the work and any recommendations of the Funds' independent auditors. Based on
such review, it is authorized to make recommendations to the Board. The Boards
adopted an Audit Committee Charter that conforms to the listing standards of the
New York Stock. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached to the proxy
statement as Appendix A. The audit committee of each Fund held four meetings
during its last fiscal year, except the audit committee of Floating Rate held
one meeting during its last fiscal year.
Each Fund has a nominating and governance committee composed entirely of Board
Members who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the 1940
Act) of the Funds and who are "independent" as defined by New York Stock
Exchange or American Stock Exchange listing standards, as applicable. Robert P.
Bremner, Chair, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, William J.
Schneider and Judith M. Stockdale are current members of the nominating and
governance committee of each Fund. The purpose of the nominating and governance
committee is to seek, identify and recommend to the Board qualified candidates
for election or appointment to each Fund's Board. In addition, the committee
oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board
performance and processes, and assignment and rotation of committee members, and
the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the
extent necessary or desirable. The committee operates under a written charter
adopted and approved by the Boards, a copy of which is attached to the proxy
statement as Appendix B. The nominating and governance committee charter is not
available on the Funds' website. The nominating and governance committee of each
Fund held four meetings during its last fiscal year, except the nominating and
governance committee of Floating Rate, Preferred Convertible, Preferred
Convertible 2, Quality Preferred, Quality Preferred 2, Quality Preferred 3,
Senior Income, the Arizona Funds, the Michigan Funds, the Ohio Funds and Texas
Quality held three meetings during its last fiscal year.
The nominating and governance committee looks to many sources for
recommendations of qualified Board members, including current Board Members,
members of the Advisers, current shareholders of the Funds, third party sources
and any other persons or entities that may be deemed necessary or desirable by
the committee. Shareholders of the Funds who wish to nominate a candidate to
their Fund's Board should mail information to the attention of Lorna Ferguson,
Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, Illinois 60606. This information must include evidence of Fund
ownership of the person or entity recommending the candidate, a full listing of
the proposed candidate's education, experience, current employment, date of
birth, names and addresses of at least three professional references,
information as to whether the candidate is an "interested person" (as such term
is defined in the 1940 Act) in relation to the Fund and such other information
that
29
would be helpful to the nominating and governance committee in evaluating the
candidate. All satisfactorily completed information regarding candidates will be
forwarded to the chairman of the nominating and governance committee and the
outside counsel to the Independent Board members. Recommendations for candidates
to the Board will be evaluated in light of whether the number of Board members
is expected to change and whether the Board expects any vacancies. All
nominations from Fund shareholders will be acknowledged, although there may be
times when the committee is not actively recruiting new Board Members. In those
circumstances nominations will be kept on file until active recruitment is under
way.
The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate standards and
requirements for nominations to the Board. In considering a candidate's
qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including
relevant skills and experience, time availability and, if qualifying as a
non-"interested person" candidate, independence from the Advisers or other
service providers. These experience requirements may vary depending on the
current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate
range of skills and experience, in the aggregate. All candidates must meet high
expectations of personal integrity, governance experience and professional
competence that are assessed on the basis of personal interviews,
recommendations, or direct knowledge by committee members. The committee may use
any process it deems appropriate for the purpose of evaluating candidates, which
process may include, without limitation, personal interviews, background checks,
written submissions by the candidates and third party references. There is no
difference in the manner in which the nominating and governance committee
evaluates nominees when the nominee is submitted by a shareholder. The
nominating and governance committee reserves the right to make the final
selection regarding the nomination of any prospective Board member.
The Board of each Fund held four regular quarterly meetings and seven special
meetings during the last fiscal year, except the Board of Floating Rate,
Preferred Convertible, Preferred Convertible 2, Quality Preferred, Quality
Preferred 2, Quality Preferred 3, Senior Income, the Arizona Funds, the Michigan
Funds, the Ohio Funds and Texas Quality held three regular quarterly meetings
and eight special meetings during the last fiscal year and the Board of the
California Funds held four regular quarterly meetings and eight special meetings
during the last fiscal year. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member
attended 75% or more of each Fund's Board meetings and the committee meetings
(if a member thereof). The policy of the Board relating to attendance by Board
Members at annual meetings of the Funds and the number of Board Members
attending annual meetings of shareholders of each Fund is posted on the Funds'
website at www.nuveen.com/etf.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The audit committee of the Board is responsible for assisting the Board in
monitoring (1) the accounting and reporting policies and procedures of each
Fund, (2) the quality and integrity of the Funds' financial statements, (3) each
Fund's compliance with regulatory requirements, and (4) the independence and
performance of each Fund's independent and internal auditors. Among other
responsibilities, the committee reviews, in its oversight capacity, each Fund's
annual financial statements with both management and the independent auditors
and the committee meets periodically with the independent and internal auditors
to consider their evaluation of each Fund's financial and internal controls. The
committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may replace each Fund's
independent auditors and determines their compensation, subject to ratification
of the Board, if required. The committee is currently composed of four Board
Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board,
a copy of which is attached as Appendix A. Each committee member is
"independent" as defined by New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange
listing standards, as applicable.
The committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with
management and each Fund's independent and internal auditors. The committee has
reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management.
Management has represented to the independent auditors that each Fund's
financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The committee has also discussed with the independent
auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees). Each Fund's independent auditors
provided to the committee the written disclosure required by Independence
Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees),
and the committee discussed with representatives of the independent auditors
their firm's independence. As provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not
the committee's responsibility to determine, and the considerations and
discussions referenced above do not ensure, that each Fund's financial
statements are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Based on the committee's review and discussions with management and the
independent auditors, the representations of management and the report of the
independent auditors to the committee, the committee has recommended that the
Board include the audited financial statements in each Fund's Annual Report.
The members of the committee are:
Robert P. Bremner
Lawrence H. Brown
Jack B. Evans
William J. Schneider

(1) "Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for the
audit of the Fund's annual financial statements and services provided in
connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
(2) "Audit Related Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related
services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of
financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees."
(3) "Tax Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for tax
advice, tax compliance and tax planning.
(4) "All Other Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for products and services
other than "Audit Fees," "Audit Related Fees" and "Tax Fees."
(5) On July 30, 2003, the Board of Senior Income approved Ernst & Young LLP as
the independent registered public accounting firm effective with the July
31, 2004 fiscal year-end audit. Ernst & Young LLP currently serves as the
independent registered public accounting firm for 109 other Nuveen
closed-end exchange-traded funds. KPMG LLP served as the independent
registered public accounting firm of Senior Income for the fiscal years
ended July 31, 2000 through July 31, 2003 and as of the latter date Senior
Income was the only Nuveen fund for which KPMG LLP served as the independent
registered public accounting firm. The change from KPMG LLP to Ernst & Young
LLP was the result of the determination by Senior Income's Board that, based
on a recommendation from the audit committee of the Board, the use of Ernst
& Young LLP would result in efficiencies for Senior Income and the audit
committee. KPMG LLP's report on Senior Income's financial statements for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope
or accounting principals. In addition, there had not been any disagreements
with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved
to the satisfaction of KPMG LLP, would have caused KPMG LLP to make a
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
reports.

(1) On July 30, 2003, the Board of Senior Income approved Ernst & Young LLP as
the independent registered public accounting firm effective with the July
31, 2004 fiscal year-end audit. KPMG LLP served as the independent
registered public accounting firm of Senior Income for the fiscal years
ended July 31, 2000 through July 31, 2003.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Generally, the audit
committee must approve each Fund's independent auditor's engagements (i) with
the Fund for audit or non-audit services and (ii) with the Advisers and Adviser
Entities for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the
operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research
projects conducted by the independent auditors for each Fund and the Advisers
and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of
each Fund), such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the audit committee if
they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the
audit committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are
expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii)
reported to the audit committee at the next audit committee meeting if they are
expected to be for an amount under $5,000.
For engagements with Ernst & Young LLP entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the
audit committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services
that Ernst & Young LLP provided to each Fund and to the Advisers and Adviser
Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund).
None of the services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP to each Fund or the Advisers
or Adviser Entities were pre-approved by the audit committee pursuant to the
pre-approval exception under Rule 2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2.01(c)(7)(ii) of
Regulation S-X. The audit committee has considered whether the provision of
non-audit services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP to the Advisers and Adviser
Entities that were not required to be pre-approved by the audit committee is
compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP's independence.

APPENDIX A
NUVEEN MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES
AUDIT COMMITTEES CHARTER
Revised February, 2004
ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP
There shall be a committee of each Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") of
the Nuveen Management Investment Companies (the "Funds" or, individually, a
"Fund") to be known as the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall be
comprised of at least three Directors/Trustees. Audit Committee members shall be
independent of the Funds and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of
the Directors/Trustees, would interfere with their exercise of independent
judgment as an Audit Committee member. In particular, each member must meet the
independence and experience requirements applicable to the Funds of the New York
Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Section 10A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Each such member of the
Audit Committee shall have a basic understanding of finance and accounting, be
able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, and be financially
literate, and at least one such member shall have accounting or related
financial management expertise, in each case as determined by the
Directors/Trustees, exercising their business judgment (this person may also
serve as the Audit Committee's "financial expert" as defined by the Commission).
The Board shall appoint the members and the Chairman of the Audit Committee, on
the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Audit
Committee shall meet periodically but in any event no less frequently than on a
semi-annual basis. Except for the Funds, Audit Committee members shall not serve
simultaneously on the audit committees of more than two other public companies.
STATEMENT OF POLICY, PURPOSE AND PROCESSES
The Audit Committee shall assist the Board in oversight and monitoring of (1)
the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audits
of the financial statements, of the Funds, (2) the quality and integrity of the
financial statements of the Funds, (3) the Funds' compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements, and (4) the independent auditors' qualifications,
performance and independence. In doing so, the Audit Committee shall seek to
maintain free and open means of communication among the Directors/Trustees, the
independent auditors, the internal auditors and the management of the Funds. The
Audit Committee shall meet periodically with Fund management, the Funds'
internal auditor, and the Funds' independent auditors, in separate executive
sessions. The Audit Committee shall prepare reports of the Audit Committee as
required by the Commission to be included in the Fund's annual proxy statements
or otherwise.
The Audit Committee shall have the authority and resources in its discretion to
retain special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Audit
Committee and to otherwise discharge its responsibilities, including appropriate
funding as determined by the Audit Committee for compensation to independent
auditors engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or
performing other audit, review or attest services for a Fund, compensation to
advisers employed by the Audit Committee, and ordinary administrative expenses
of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its
duties, as
A-1
determined in its discretion. The Audit Committee may request any officer or
employee of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (or its affiliates) (collectively,
"Nuveen") or the Funds' independent auditors or outside counsel to attend a
meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants
to, the Audit Committee. The Funds' independent auditors and internal auditors
shall have unrestricted accessibility at any time to Committee members.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Fund management has the primary responsibility to establish and maintain systems
for accounting, reporting, disclosure and internal control.
The independent auditors have the primary responsibility to plan and implement
an audit, with proper consideration given to the accounting, reporting and
internal controls. Each independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing
or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services
for the Funds shall report directly to the Audit Committee. The independent
auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Audit Committee. It is
the ultimate responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, appoint, retain,
evaluate, oversee and replace any independent auditors and to determine their
compensation, subject to ratification of the Board, if required. The Audit
Committee responsibilities may not be delegated to any other Committee or the
Board.
The Audit Committee is responsible for the following:
With respect to Fund financial statements:
1. Reviewing and discussing the annual audited financial statements
and semi-annual financial statements with Fund management and the

the Audit Committee a timely report on any issues relating to the

Audit Committee Communications (which amended SAS No. 61,
Communication with Audit Committees), that arise during the
auditors' review of the Funds' financial statements, which
information the Chairman shall further communicate to the other
members of the Audit Committee, as deemed necessary or appropriate
in the Chairman's judgment.
3. Discussing with management the Funds' press releases regarding
financial results and dividends, as well as financial information
and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies.

types of information to be disclosed and the types of presentations
to be made. The Chairman of the Audit Committee shall be authorized
to have these discussions with management on behalf of the Audit
Committee.
4. Discussing with management and the independent auditors (a)
significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in
connection with the preparation and presentation of the Funds'
financial statements, including any significant changes in the
Funds' selection or application of accounting principles and any

major issues as to the adequacy of the Funds' internal controls and
any special audit steps adopted in light of material control
deficiencies, and (b) analyses prepared by Fund management and/or
the independent auditor setting forth significant financial
reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the
preparation of the financial statements, including analyses of the
effects of alternative GAAP methods on the financial statements.
5. Discussing with management and the independent auditors the effect
of regulatory and accounting initiatives on the Funds' financial
statements.

alternative treatments of financial information within generally

and disclosures, and the treatment preferred by the independent
auditors; and (c) other material written communications between the
independent auditors and management, such as any management letter
or schedule of unadjusted differences.
7. Discussing with Fund management the Funds' major financial risk
exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control

respect to risk assessment and risk management.
8. Reviewing disclosures made to the Audit Committee by the Funds'
principal executive officer and principal financial officer during
their certification process for the Funds' periodic reports about

thereto as adopted by the Board or the Audit Committee. The
Chairman of the Audit Committee shall be authorized to give
pre-approvals of such non-audit services on behalf of the Audit
Committee.
4. Obtaining and reviewing a report or reports from the independent
auditors at least annually (including a formal written statement

issues; and (d) all relationships between the independent auditor
