each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), of proxies to be voted at the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in the 33rd floor conference room of
Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, on Tuesday,
November 14, 2006, at 12:00 p.m., Central 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 4, 2006.
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:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATTER COMMON SHARES PREFERRED SHARES(1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1a(i). For each Minnesota Corporation (except X X
California Value) election of seven (7)
Board Members by all shareholders
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a(ii). For each Minnesota Corporation (except X
California Value) election of two (2)
Board Members by Preferred Shares only
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b. Election of four (4) Board Members for X N/A
California Value by all shareholders
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c(i). For each Massachusetts Business Trust, X X
election of seven (7) Board Members by
all shareholders
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c(ii). For each Massachusetts Business Trust, X
election of two (2) Board Members by
Preferred Shares only
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Taxable Auctioned Preferred Shares for Senior Income; FundPreferred shares
for Floating Rate, Floating Rate Opportunity and Tax-Advantaged Floating
Rate; and Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares
("MuniPreferred") 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
4
(which is not applicable to 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 each Fund, 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 Fund. For purposes of determining the approval of the proposal
to elect nominees for each Fund, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no
effect on the election of Board Members.
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 shares "voted" and, for the purpose of
meeting the 10% test, abstentions will not be treated as shares "voted" against
the item.
5
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on
September 18, 2006 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of
September 18, 2006, the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as

ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS
MINNESOTA CORPORATIONS
At the Annual Meeting of each Minnesota Corporation, 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 Minnesota
Corporation'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 until the third succeeding
annual meeting subsequent to their election or thereafter in each case when
their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. For California
Value, four (4) Board Members are nominated to be elected at this meeting.
A. FOR EACH MINNESOTA CORPORATION, EXCEPT CALIFORNIA VALUE:
(i) seven (7) Board Members are to be elected by holders of Common
Shares and Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class. Board
Members Bremner, Brown,
8
Evans, Hunter, Kundert, Stockdale and Sunshine are nominees for election by
all shareholders.
(ii) two (2) Board Members are to be elected by holders of Preferred
Shares, each series voting together as a single class. 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 Bremner, Evans and Schneider as Class III Board Members, and
as nominees for Board Members for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
shareholders in 2009, and has re-designated Board Member Stockdale as a
Class I Board Member, and as a nominee for Board Member for a term expiring
at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2007 or until their successors
have been duly elected and qualified. The Board re-designated Board Member
Stockdale as a Class I Board Member pursuant to California Value's Articles
of Incorporation in order to maintain an equal number of directors in each
class. The remaining Board Members Brown, Schwertfeger, Hunter, Kundert and
Sunshine are current and continuing Board Members. The Board of California
Value has designated Board Members Brown and Schwertfeger as continuing
Class I Board Members for terms expiring in 2007 and has designated Board
Members Hunter, Kundert and Sunshine as continuing Class II Board Members
for terms expiring in 2008.
MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUSTS
In February 2006, the By-Laws of each Massachusetts Business Trust were amended
to provide for the division of the Board into classes. Pursuant to the amended
By-Laws, the Board Members of each Massachusetts Business Trust classified
themselves by resolution dated August 1, 2006 into three classes, Class I, Class
II and Class III, to be elected at the Annual Meeting by the holders of the
outstanding Common Shares and Preferred Shares, voting together as a single
class. If elected, Class I Board Members will serve until the first succeeding
annual meeting subsequent to their election; Class II Board Members will serve
until the second succeeding annual meeting subsequent to their election; and
Class III Board Members will serve until the third succeeding annual meeting
subsequent to their election. At each subsequent annual meeting, the Board
Members chosen to succeed those whose terms are expiring shall be identified as
being of the same class as the Board Members whom they succeed and shall be
elected for a term expiring at the time of the third succeeding annual meeting
subsequent to their election or thereafter in each case when their respective
successors are duly elected and qualified. For each Massachusetts Business
Trust, under normal circumstances, holders of Preferred Shares will continue to
be entitled to elect two (2) Board Members. The Board Members elected by holders
of Preferred Shares will be elected to serve until the next annual meeting or
until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified.
C. FOR EACH MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUST:
(i) seven (7) Board Members are to be elected by holders of Common
Shares and Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class. Board
Members Brown and Stockdale have been designated as Class I Board Members,
and as nominees for Board Members for a term expiring at the annual meeting
of shareholders in 2007 or until their successors have been duly elected
and qualified. Board Members Hunter, Kundert
9
and Sunshine have been designated as Class II Board Members, and as
nominees for Board Members for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
shareholders in 2008 or until their successors have been duly elected and
qualified. Board Members Bremner and Evans have been designated as Class
III Board Members, and as nominees for Board Members for a term expiring at
the annual meeting of shareholders in 2009 or until their successors have
been duly elected and qualified.
(ii) two (2) Board Members are to be elected by holders of Preferred
Shares, each series voting together as a single class. Board Members
Schneider and Schwertfeger are nominees for election by holders of
Preferred Shares for a term expiring at the next annual meeting or until
their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
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 in the table
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, all of the Board Member nominees were last elected
to each Fund's Board at the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders. Board Members
Hunter, Kundert and Sunshine were last elected as Class II members of the Board
of California Value at the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders. Board Members
Brown and Schwertfeger were last elected as Class I members of the Board of
California Value at the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders. 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.
Other than Mr. Schwertfeger, all Board Member nominees are not "interested
persons," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"), of the Funds or Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser") and have
never been an employee or director of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), the
Adviser's parent company, or any affiliate. Accordingly, such Board Members are
deemed "Independent Board Members."
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE
NOMINEES NAMED BELOW.

COMPENSATION
Prior to January 1, 2006, for all Nuveen funds, Independent Board Members
received an $85,000 annual retainer plus (a) a fee of $2,000 per day for
attendance 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 or compliance,
risk management and regulatory oversight committee meeting where in-person
attendance is required and $750 per day for audit committee attendance by
telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required and $500 per
day for compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee
attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required;
(d) a fee of $500 per day for attendance at a meeting of the dividend committee;
and (e) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in person at all other committee
meetings (including ad hoc committee meetings and shareholder 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, 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) received $5,000 as an addition to
the annual retainer paid to such individuals. When ad hoc committees were
organized, the Board may have provided for additional compensation to be paid to
the members of such committees. The annual retainer, fees and expenses were
allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser, on the basis of relative net
asset sizes although fund management could have, in its discretion, established
a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund. The Board Member affiliated with
Nuveen and the Adviser served without any compensation from the Funds.
Effective January 1, 2006, for all Nuveen funds, Independent Board Members
receive a $90,000 annual retainer plus (a) a fee of $2,500 per day for
attendance at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $2,000
per meeting for attendance in person where such in-person attendance is required
and $1,000 per meeting 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 $1,500 per meeting for attendance at an audit committee meeting;
(d) a fee of $1,500 per meeting for attendance in person at a compliance, risk
management and regulatory oversight committee meeting where in-person attendance
is required and $1,000 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person
where in-person attendance is not required; (e) a fee of $1,000 per meeting for
attendance for a meeting of the dividend committee; and (f) a fee of $500 per
meeting for attendance in person at all other committee meetings (including
shareholder meetings) on a day on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is
held in which in-person attendance is required and $250 per meeting for
attendance by telephone or in person at such committee meetings (excluding
shareholder meetings) where in-person attendance is not required and $100 per
meeting when the executive committee acts as pricing committee for IPOs, plus,
in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings. In addition to the
payments described above, the Lead Independent Director receives $20,000, the
chairpersons of the audit committee and the compliance, risk management and
regulatory oversight committee receive $7,500 and the chairperson of the
nominating and governance committee receives $5,000 as additional retainers to
the annual retainer paid to such individuals. Independent Board Members also
receive a fee of $2,000 per day for site visits to
28
entities that provide services to the Nuveen funds held on days on which no
regularly scheduled board meeting is held. When ad hoc committees are organized,
the nominating and governance committee will at the time of formation determine
compensation to be paid to the members of such committee, however, in general
such fees will be $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person at any ad hoc
committee meeting where in-person attendance is required and $500 per meeting
for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person
attendance is not required.
The annual retainer, fees and expenses are allocated among the funds managed by
the Adviser, 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.
The Board Member affiliated with Nuveen and the Adviser 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 defer at least a portion of his or her fees. The Funds that are Participating
Funds under the Deferred Compensation Plan are Floating Rate, Floating Rate
Opportunity, 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.
The table below shows, for each Independent Board Member, 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 the Adviser for the calendar year ended
2005. 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.

Nuveen maintains a charitable matching contributions program to encourage the
active support and involvement of individuals in the civic activities of their
community. Until December 31, 2006, the Independent Board Members of the funds
managed by the Adviser are eligible to participate in the charitable
contributions program of Nuveen. Under the matching contributions program,
Nuveen 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.
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.
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 three meetings during
its last fiscal year, except the dividend committee of the California Funds held
four meetings.
Lawrence H. Brown, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, 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. The compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee
of each Fund held four meetings during its last fiscal year.
Each Fund's Board has an audit committee, in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), that is
composed of Independent Board Members who are also "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. Robert P. Bremner,
Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, Chair, William J. Schneider and Eugene S.
Sunshine are current members of the audit committee of each Fund. The audit
committee is responsible for the oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting
and reporting policies, procedures and practices and the audit of the financial
statements of the Funds, (2) the quality and integrity of the financial
statements of the Funds, and (3) the independent registered public accounting
firm's qualifications,
35
performance and independence. The audit committee reviews the work and any
recommendations of the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm.
Based on such review, it is authorized to make recommendations to the Board. The
audit committee is also responsible for the oversight of the Pricing Procedures
of the Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The Boards have adopted a written
Audit Committee Charter that conforms to the listing standards of the New York
Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange. 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.
Each Fund has a nominating and governance committee that is composed entirely of
Independent Board Members who are also "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,
David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale and Eugene S.
Sunshine 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 of each Fund, a copy of which is available on the
Funds' website at www.nuveen.com/etf/products/fundGovernance.aspx. The
nominating and governance committee of each Fund held four meetings during its
last fiscal year.
The nominating and governance committee looks to many sources for
recommendations of qualified candidates, including current Board Members,
employees of the Adviser, 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 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
36
and, if qualifying as an Independent Board Member candidate, independence from
the Adviser 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 candidates when the candidate 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 Independent Board Members of each Fund have appointed Robert P. Bremner as
their Lead Independent Director. The role of the Lead Independent Director is
one of coordination and assuring the appropriate, effective and efficient
functioning of the Board and the Board processes. Specific responsibilities may
include organizing and leading Independent Board Member sessions, facilitating
and ensuring an appropriate level of communication among the Independent Board
Members, leading the assessment of the Board's effectiveness, and working with
the Adviser's staff and outside counsel on board meeting agendas, board material
and workshops for Independent Board Members to ensure that the priorities of the
Independent Board Members are addressed.
The Board of each Fund held five regular quarterly meetings and seven special
meetings during the last fiscal year, except Floating Rate, Floating Rate
Opportunity, Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate, Senior Income and the Arizona,
Michigan, Ohio and the Texas Funds held four regular quarterly meetings and the
Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina and
Virginia Funds held six special meetings. 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) held during the period for which such
Board Member was a Board Member. The policy of the Board relating to attendance
by Board Members at annual meetings of the Funds and the number of Board Members
who attended the last annual meeting of shareholders of each Fund is posted on
the Funds' website at www.nuveen.com/etf/products/fundgovernance.aspx.

The following table sets forth information as of September 18, 2006 with respect

and is included in the table relating to nominees for the Board). Officers

an annual basis to serve until successors are elected and qualified.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The audit committee of each Board is responsible for the oversight and
monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, processes and
practices, and the audit of the financial statements, of each Fund, (2) the
quality and integrity of the financial statements of each Fund, and (3) the
independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications, performance and
independence. In its oversight capacity, the committee reviews each Fund's
annual financial statements with both management and the independent registered
public accounting firm and the committee meets periodically with the independent
registered public accounting firm to consider their evaluation of each Fund's
financial and internal controls. The
42
committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may replace each Fund's
independent registered public accounting firm. The committee is currently
composed of five Independent 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 meets the independence and experience requirements
applicable to the Funds of the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock
Exchange, Section 10A of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with
management and each Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. The
committee has also reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with
management. Management has represented to the independent registered public
accounting firm that each Fund's financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The committee has also
discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters
required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards ("SAS") No. 61,
(Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by SAS No. 90 (Audit Committee
Communications). Each Fund's independent registered public accounting firm
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 registered
public accounting firm 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 registered public accounting firm, the representations of management
and the report of the independent registered public accounting firm to the
committee, the committee has recommended that each 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
Eugene S. Sunshine
William J. Schneider

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Generally, the audit
committee must approve each Fund's independent registered public accounting
firm's engagements (i) with the Fund for audit or non-audit services and (ii)
with the Adviser 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 registered
public accounting firm for each Fund and the Adviser 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 Adviser 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 Adviser
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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Each Board has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent registered public
accounting firm to audit the books and records of each Fund for its fiscal year.
A representative of Ernst & Young LLP will be present at the Annual Meetings to
make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to
shareholders' questions. Ernst & Young LLP has informed each Fund that it has no
direct or indirect material financial interest in the Funds, Nuveen, the Adviser
or any other investment company sponsored by Nuveen.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL INTEREST REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act require Board
Members and officers, the Adviser, affiliated persons of the Adviser and persons
who own more than 10% of a registered class of a Fund's equity securities to
file forms reporting their affiliation with that Fund and reports of ownership
and changes in ownership of that Fund's shares with the SEC and the New York
Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange, as applicable. These persons and
entities are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to
each Fund, each Fund believes that its Board Members and officers, investment
adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser have complied with all
applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during its last fiscal year. To the
knowledge of management of the Funds, no shareholder of a Fund owns more than
10% of a registered class of a Fund's equity securities, except a report on
Schedule 13G was filed on June 10, 2005 on behalf of First Trust Portfolios
L.P., First Trust Advisors L.P. and The Charger Corporation indicating shared
beneficial ownership of 10.5% of the common shares of Senior Income.

Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

APPENDIX A
NUVEEN FUND BOARD
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
JANUARY 26, 2006
I. 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.
II. 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, (4) the independent auditors' qualifications,
performance and independence; and (5) oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the
Funds and the Valuation Group. In exercising this oversight, the Audit Committee
can request other committees of the Board to assume responsibility for some of
the monitoring as long as the other committees are composed exclusively of
independent directors.
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.
A-1
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 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. These Audit
Committee responsibilities may not be delegated to any other Committee or the
Board.

auditor's internal quality-control procedures; (b) any material issues

principles. That is the responsibility of management and the independent
auditors. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations,
to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent
auditors or to ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
