Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders
[PHOTO OF ROBERT P. BREMNER]
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
The financial markets in which your Fund operates continue to reflect the larger
economic crosscurrents. The illiquidity that infected global credit markets over
the last year continues to recede but there is concern about the impact of a
reduction in official liquidity support programs. The major institutions that
are the linchpin of the international financial system have strengthened their
capital structures, but many still struggle with losses in their various
portfolios. Global trends include increasing trade and concern about the ability
of the U.S. government to address its substantial budgetary deficits.
While the fixed-income and equity markets have recovered from the lows recorded
in the first quarter of 2009, identifying those developments that will define
the future is never easy, and rarely is it more difficult than at present. A
fundamental component of a successful investment program is a commitment to
remain focused on long-term investment goals even during periods of heightened
market uncertainty. Another component is to re-evaluate investment disciplines
and tactics and to confirm their validity following periods of extreme
volatility and market dislocation, such as we have recently experienced. Your
Board carried out an intensive review of investment performance with these
objectives in mind during April and May of 2009 as part of the annual management
contract renewal process. Confirming the appropriateness of a long term
investment strategy is as important for our shareholders as it is for our
professional investment managers. For that reason, I again encourage you to
remain in communication with your financial consultant on this subject.
In September 2009, Nuveen completed the refinancing, at par, of all the auction
rate preferred shares issued by its taxable closed-end funds. On October 15,
2009, Nuveen announced the first successful offering of an issue of MuniFund
Term Preferred Shares. This new form of preferred securities joins the Variable
Rate Demand Preferred Shares as vehicles for refinancing existing municipal fund
auction rate preferred shares (ARPS). By the beginning of December 2009, six of
the leveraged municipal closed-end funds had redeemed all of their outstanding
ARPS. Nuveen remains committed to resolving the issues connected with
outstanding ARPS. Please consult the Nuveen web site for the most recent
information on this issue and all recent developments on your Nuveen Funds at:
www.nuveen.com.
On behalf of the other members of your Fund's Board, we look forward to
continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert P. Bremner

Portfolio managers Cathryn Steeves and Scott Romans discuss key investment
strategies and the six-month performance of these eight Nuveen Funds. Cathryn,
who joined Nuveen in 1996, has managed the Connecticut and Massachusetts funds
since 2006. Scott, who has been with Nuveen since 2000, assumed portfolio
management responsibility for NOM in 2003.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THE SIX-MONTH
REPORTING PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2009?
During this period, municipal bond prices generally rose, as strong cash flows
into municipal bond funds combined with tighter supply of new tax-exempt
issuance to provide favorable supply and demand conditions.
One reason for the supply reduction was the introduction of the Build America
Bond program. Build America Bonds are a new class of taxable municipal debt
created as part of the February 2009 economic stimulus package. These bonds
offer municipal issuers a federal subsidy equal to 35% of a security's interest
payments, and therefore offer issuers with an attractive alternative to
traditional tax-exempt debt. During the six-month period ended November 30,
2009, taxable Build America Bonds issuance totaled $44.9 billion, accounting for
almost 21% of new bonds in the municipal market. Since interest payments from
these bonds represent taxable income, we do not see them as good a investment
opportunity for these Funds.

Due in part to the decline in tax-exempt supply, investment activity in these
Funds was more limited than usual. The already tight supply situation was
further compounded by the lack of tax-exempt bonds offering the longer
maturities that we specifically sought to purchase for these Funds. During this
period, the availability of longer tax-exempt bonds was constrained by the fact
that the majority of issuers offering longer maturity bonds found it more
cost-effective to issue these bonds as taxable Build America Bonds, rather than
as tax-exempt bonds. In addition, new purchases for the insured NGX were
hindered by the severe decline in the issuance of insured bonds. Through
November 2009, new insured securities accounted for only 9% of national
issuance, compared with 19% during the first eleven months of 2008 and
historical levels of approximately 50%. During this period, no insured AAA paper
was issued in the new supply market, and none was available in the secondary
market. Trading activity also was dampened during much of the period by a market
environment in which most of the bonds available for investment offered lower
yields. In our opinion, it did not make sense to generate trading costs in such
an environment.
Under these market conditions, we believed that it was important to focus on
monitoring and preserving adequate liquidity. We continued to carefully manage
the Funds' cash reserves, which we had increased amid the market uncertainty of
the previous reporting period. Overall, our objective was to improve the Funds'
liquidity profiles and have the capital we needed to reinvest at opportune
times.
Cash for new purchases was generated by maturing or called bonds. Although the
supply of new tax-exempt municipal bonds was very tight, we continued to monitor
the market for attractive value opportunities, taking a bottom-up approach to
discovering undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to
perform well over the long term. Both NTC and NGO purchased some
shorter-maturity Connecticut state government obligation bonds as well as a
higher education credit. In NMT and NMB, we added higher education and health
care bonds. Tax-exempt supply was usually more plentiful in the health care
sector because hospitals generally do not qualify for the Build America Bond
program and so must continue to issue bonds in the tax-exempt municipal market.
As of November 30, 2009, all eight of these Funds continued to use inverse
floating rate securities.(1) We employ inverse floaters as a form of leverage
for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income enhancement and
total return enhancement.
(1) An inverse floating rate security, also known as an inverse floater, is a
financial instrument designed to pay long-term tax-exempt interest at a
rate that varies inversely with a short-term tax-exempt interest rate
index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index typically used is the Securities
Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM) Municipal Swap Index (previously
referred to as the Bond Market Association Index or BMA). Inverse
floaters, including those inverse floating rate securities in which the
Funds invested during this reporting period, are further defined within
the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms Used in this
Report sections of this report.

For the six months ended November 30, 2009, the cumulative returns on common
share net asset value (NAV) for all seven of the non-insured Nuveen Connecticut,
Massachusetts, and Missouri Funds exceeded the return for the Standard & Poor's
(S&P) National Municipal Bond Index. NMT outperformed the average return for the
Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average, NOM performed in line with
this Lipper average, while NTC, NFC, NGK, NGO and NMB lagged the average.
Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States
category represents the overall average of returns for funds from ten different
states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct
comparisons between these Funds and the Lipper Other States category less
meaningful. For the same period, NGX outperformed both the Standard & Poor's
(S&P) Insured Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal
Debt Funds Average.
* Six-month returns are cumulative; returns for one-year, five-year, and
ten-year are annualized.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance
may be higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the
deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions
or upon the sale of Fund shares.

(3) The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using
the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as
follows: Six-month, 43 funds; 1-year, 43 funds; 5-year, 43 funds; and
10-year, 20 funds. The returns account for the effects of managements fees
and assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect any applicable

Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period
included yield curve and duration positioning, credit exposure and sector
allocation. In addition, leverage was an important factor affecting the
performances of the Funds. The impact of leverage is discussed in more detail on
page six.
During this period, we saw yields on tax-exempt bonds generally decline and bond
prices rise, especially at the longer end of the municipal yield curve. As a
result, longer-term bonds generally outperformed credits with shorter
maturities. Overall, duration and yield curve positioning was a net positive for
NTC, NGO, NMT, NMB and NGX and a net negative for NFC, NGK and NOM during this
period.
While yield curve positioning and duration played important roles in performance
during these six months, credit exposure had an even more significant impact. As
noted earlier, the demand for municipal bonds increased among both institutional
and individual investors during this period. This increase was driven by a
variety of factors, including concerns about potential tax increases, the need
to rebalance portfolio allocations and a growing appetite for additional risk.
At the same time, the supply of new tax-exempt municipal paper declined. As
investors bid up municipal bond prices, bonds rated BBB or below and non-rated
bonds generally outperformed those rated AAA.
Overall, the Funds benefited from their credit sector allocations. The
Connecticut Funds were generally relatively overweighted in BBB and non-rated
bonds and underweighted in bonds rated AA, which helped their performances.
Among the Massachusetts Funds, NMB had greater exposure to lower-rated bonds
than NMT, but NMT received a larger positive contribution from its stronger
individual credit selection, especially among insured and non-rated credits.
NGX, which can invest up to 20% of its assets in uninsured investment-grade
quality securities, held approximately 12% of its portfolio in uninsured bonds
as of November 30, 2009, including 2% in BBB and lower credits. While NOM had
only a modest overweight in bonds rated BBB, the Fund was significantly
overweighted in non-rated securities and underweighted in both AAA and AA bonds,
making credit exposure a major contributor to NOM's performance for this period.
Holdings that generally contributed to the Funds' performances included
industrial development revenue (IDR) and health care bonds, while zero coupon
bonds were also among the strongest performers. In addition, transportation,
housing and special tax bonds also outperformed the general municipal market
during this period. All of these Funds benefited from their overweights in
housing and NMT, NMB, NGX, and NOM also received positive contributions from
heavier allocations to health care. NMT and NMB also were overweighted in IDRs,
which benefited their performances, while the Connecticut Funds were
underweighted in this sector. NOM also received a significant positive
contribution from its overweight in the "other revenue" category, specifically
its holdings of tax allocation, or tax increment financing, bonds.
Nuveen Investments 5
Pre-refunded bonds, which are often backed by U.S. Treasury securities and which
had been one of the top performing segments of the municipal bond market over
the past two years, performed especially poorly during this period. This was
primarily due to their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality.
General obligation and other tax-supported bonds also failed to keep pace with
the overall municipal market during this period. Other sectors that lagged the
municipal market for the six months included water and sewer and leasing, while
education, resource recovery, and electric bonds underperformed the market by a
slight margin. The Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds generally were
underexposed to tax-supported bonds relative to the municipal market as a whole,
which lessened the negative impact from this sector. However, these seven Funds
were relatively overweighted in higher education credits, which generally
performed poorly. An exception to this was the Connecticut Funds' holdings of
AAA rated Yale University bonds, which were strong performers during this
period.
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' CAPITAL STRUCTURES AND LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of these Funds relative to the
comparative indexes was the Funds' use of financial leverage. The Funds use
leverage because their managers believe that, over time, leveraging provides
opportunities for additional income and total returns for common shareholders.
However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional
risk-- especially when market conditions are unfavorable. For example, as the
prices of securities held by a Fund decline, the negative impact of these
valuation changes on common share net asset value and common shareholder total
return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance
common share returns during periods when bond prices generally are rising. In
general, leverage made a significant positive contribution to those Funds over
this reporting period.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES AND FUND POLICY CHANGES
(NGX)
Another factor that had an impact on the performance of NGX was its positions in
bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that have experienced downgrades in
their credit ratings. At the time this report was prepared, there were no bond
insurers rated AAA by more than one of the major rating agencies (Moody's
Investor Service, Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Fitch) and at least one rating
agency has placed each insurer on "negative credit watch," "credit outlook/watch
developing" "credit outlook/watch negative," "credit watch evolving," "rating
withdrawn" or "regulatory supervision" which may
6 Nuveen Investments
presage one or more rating reductions for any insurer in the future. By the end
of this period, most insured bonds were being valued according to their
fundamentals as if they were uninsured. On the whole, the holdings of NGX
continued to be well diversified and it is important to note that municipal
bonds historically have had a very low rate of default.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FUNDS' LEVERAGED CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As noted in the last several shareholder reports, the auction rate preferred
shares issued by many closed-end funds, including these Nuveen Funds, have been
hampered by a lack of liquidity since February 2008. Since that time, more
auction rate preferred shares have been submitted for sale in their regularly
scheduled auctions than there have been offers to buy. In fact, offers to buy
have been almost completely non-existent since late February 2008. This means
that these auctions have "failed to clear," and that many, or all, of the
auction rate preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these
auctions were unable to do so. This lack of liquidity in auction rate preferred
shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auction rate
preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the
"maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions, as calculated in accordance with
the pre-established terms of the auction rate preferred shares. In the recent
market, with short-term rates at multi-generational lows, those maximum rates
also have been low.
One continuing implication for common shareholders from the auction failures is
that each Fund's cost of leverage likely has been incrementally higher at times
than it otherwise might have been had the auctions continued to be successful.
As a result, each Fund's common share earnings likely have been incrementally
lower at times than they otherwise might have been.
As noted in past shareholder reports, the Funds' Board of Trustees authorized a
plan to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate securities,
to refinance a portion of the Funds' outstanding auction rate preferred shares.
The amount of TOBs that a Fund may use varies according to the composition of
each Fund's portfolio. Some Funds have a greater ability to use TOBs than
others. As of November 30, 2009, some Funds have issued Variable Rate Demand
Preferred Shares (VRDP), but these issuances have been limited since it has been
difficult to find liquidity facilities on economically viable terms given the
constrained credit environment. Some Funds also issued MuniFund Term Preferred
Shares (MTP), a fixed-rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory redemption
period of five years. However, the Funds cannot provide any assurance on when
the remaining outstanding auction rate preferred shares might be redeemed.
Nuveen Investments 7
As of November 30, 2009, the amount of auction rate preferred securities
redeemed by the following Funds are as shown in the accompanying table.
AUCTION RATE % OF ORIGINAL
PREFERRED SHARES AUCTION RATE
FUND REDEEMED PREFERRED SHARES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NTC $4,850,000 12.7%
NFC $2,250,000 11.5%
NGK $2,050,000 11.7%
NGO $3,725,000 11.6%
NMB $ 750,000 5.0%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During November 2009, NTC and NMT filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) a registration statement seeking to register MTP. During
January 2010, subsequent to the reporting period, NTC and NMT successfully
completed the issuance of $17.3 million and $17.575 million, respectively, of
2.65%, Series 2015 MTP. MTP is a new form of closed-end fund preferred shares
designed to refinance, partially or completely, and replace the auction rate
preferred shares previously issued by the Funds as leverage. The net proceeds
from this offering were used to refinance a portion of NTC's and NMT's
outstanding auction rate preferred shares. The newly-issued MTP shares trade on
the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbols "NTC Pr C" and "NMT Pr C"
for NTC and NMT, respectively. MTP is a fixed-rate form of preferred stock with
a mandatory redemption period, in this case, of five years. By issuing MTP, the
Funds seek to take advantage of the current historically low interest rate
environment to lock in an attractive federally tax-exempt cost of leverage for a
period as long as the term of the MTP. The Funds' managers believe that issuing
MTP may help the Funds mitigate the risk of a significant increase in their cost
of leverage should short-term interest rates rise sharply in the coming years.
Subsequent to the reporting period, NFC, NGK, NGO, NMB and NGX filed with the
SEC a registration statement seeking to register MTP. These registration
statements, declared effective by the SEC, enable the Funds to issue to the
public shares of MTP to refinance all or a portion of each Fund's auction rate
preferred shares. The issuance of MTP by these Funds is subject to market
conditions. There is no assurance that these MTP shares will be issued.
As of November 30, 2009, 75 out of the 84 Nuveen closed-end municipal funds that
had issued auction rate preferred shares have redeemed, at par, all or a portion
of these shares. These redemptions bring the total amount of Nuveen's municipal
closed-end funds' auction rate preferred share redemptions to approximately $2.5
billion of the original $11 billion outstanding.

COMMON SHARE DIVIDEND AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
During the six-month period ended November 30, 2009, each of the eight Funds in
this report had one monthly dividend increase.
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that
reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During
certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it
holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as
part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in
excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise
reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net
investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of November 30, 2009, all
eight of the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances, based upon our
best estimate, for tax purposes and positive UNII balances for financial
statement purposes.
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
Since the inception of the Funds' repurchase program, the Funds have not
repurchased any of their outstanding common shares.
As of November 30, 2009, the Funds' common share prices were trading at (+)
premiums or (-) discounts to their common share NAVs as shown in the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The state funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share
stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Connecticut Premium Income Municipal Fund
(NTC), Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFC), Nuveen
Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NGK), Nuveen Connecticut
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NGO), Nuveen Massachusetts Premium Income
Municipal Fund (NMT), Nuveen Massachusetts Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
(NMB), Nuveen Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NGX) and
Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (NOM) (collectively, the
"Funds"). Common shares of Connecticut Premium Income (NTC) and Massachusetts
Premium Income (NMT) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) while
Common shares of Connecticut Dividend Advantage (NFC), Connecticut Dividend
Advantage 2 (NGK), Connecticut Dividend Advantage 3 (NGO), Massachusetts
Dividend Advantage (NMB), Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) and
Missouri Premium Income (NOM) are traded on the NYSE Amex. The Funds are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end
management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
designated state income taxes, and in the case of Insured Massachusetts
Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals,
by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state
and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S.
territories.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM) (the "Codification") as the single
source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification supersedes existing
non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification
did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance
within the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification
became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification did not have a material
effect on the Funds' financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with US
generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENT VALUATION
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. Prices of
forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by each Fund's Board of Trustees. Futures contracts are valued using
the closing settlement price, or, in the absence of such a price, at the mean
of the bid and asked prices. When market price quotes are not readily available
(which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service or,
in the absence of a pricing service for a particular investment or derivative
instrument, the Board of Trustees of the Fund, or its designee, may establish
fair value using a wide variety of market data including yields or prices of
investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating,
market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of
anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other
information and analysis, including the obligor's credit characteristics
considered relevant. Temporary investments in securities that have variable
rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates value.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended
settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At November 30, 2009,
Massachusetts Premium Income (NMT) and Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB)
each had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of
$375,000. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the
other Funds.
INVESTMENT INCOME
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
60 Nuveen Investments
INCOME TAXES
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state
income taxes, and in the case of Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX)
the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt
status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains
and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal
taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the
Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that
would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those
that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last
four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore,
management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is
reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will
significantly change in the next twelve months.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital
gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US
generally accepted accounting principles.
PREFERRED SHARES
The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per
share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares
are issued in one Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series is
determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the
auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period. As of November 30,
2009, the number of Preferred shares outstanding for each Fund is as follows:

========================================================================================================
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were
offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many,
or all, Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions
were unable to do so. Preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares
received distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as
calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.
These developments have generally not affected the portfolio management or
investment policies of the Funds. However, one continuing implication of these
auction failures for Common shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage
likely has been incrementally higher at times than it otherwise would have been
had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future
Common share earnings may likely have been lower than they otherwise might have
been. As of November 30, 2009, the aggregate amount of outstanding Preferred
shares redeemed by each Fund is as follows:

INSURANCE
Under normal circumstances, Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX)
invests at least 80% of its net assets (as defined in Footnote 7 -Management
Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates) in municipal securities that are
covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest.
For purposes of this 80% test, insurers must have a claims paying ability rated
at least "A" at the time of purchase by at least one independent rating agency.
In addition, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal
securities that are rated at least "AA" at the time of purchase (based on the
higher of the rating of the insurer, if any, or the underlying security) by at
least one independent rating agency, or are unrated but judged to be of similar
credit quality by Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), or are backed by an escrow or
trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency
securities or U.S. Treasury-issued State and Local Government Series (SLGS)
securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest. Inverse floating
rate securities whose underlying bonds are covered by insurance are included for
purposes of the 80% test. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets
in municipal securities rated below "AA" but at least "BBB" (based on the higher
rating of the insurer, if any, or the underlying bond) or are unrated but judged
to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
Fund's Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance
remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain
outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Fund
ultimately disposes of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value
of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary
Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio
Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are
held by the Fund. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market
value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset
value of the Fund include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio
Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Fund
the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security
covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale.
INVERSE FLOATING RATE SECURITIES
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An
inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond,
typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in
face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market
value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties,
and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that
represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received
by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to
the floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse
floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside
investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential
appreciation of the underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating
rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the
interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying
bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates,
and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of
loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the
Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to
tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate
bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment
in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as "(IF) - Inverse floating rate investment." An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In
such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as "(UB) - Underlying bond of an
inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction," with the Fund
accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as
"Floating rate obligations" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In
addition, the Fund reflects in "Investment Income" the entire earnings of the
underlying bond and the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term
floating rate certificates is recognized as "Interest expense on floating rate
obligations" on the Statement of Operations.
62 Nuveen Investments
During the six months ended November 30, 2009, each Fund invested in
externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes
referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit recovery swap") (such agreements
referred to herein as "Recourse Trusts") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund
agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the
difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the
trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the
trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a
Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may
increase beyond the value of a Fund's inverse floater investments as a Fund may

FORWARD SWAP CONTRACTS
Each Fund is authorized to enter into forward interest rate swap contracts
consistent with their investment objectives and policies to reduce, increase or
otherwise alter its risk profile or to alter its portfolio characteristics (i.e.
duration, yield curve positioning and credit quality).
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its
investment objectives. Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap
transactions is intended to help the Fund manage its overall interest rate
sensitivity, either shorter or longer, generally to more closely align the
Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that of the broader municipal market.
Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund's agreement with a
counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange
for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the
accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the "effective
date"). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of
the swap contract and the termination date of the swap (which is akin to a
bond's maturity). The value of the Fund's swap commitment would increase or
decrease based primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for
bonds having a maturity of the swap's termination date increases or decreases.
Forward interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. The net amount recorded
on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as "Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward
swaps" with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of
Operations as "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward
swaps."
The Funds may terminate a swap contract prior to the effective date, at which
point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When a forward swap is terminated,
it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying
assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Net realized
gains and losses during the fiscal period are recognized on the Statement of
Operations as "Net realized gain (loss) from forward swaps." Each Fund intends,
but is not obligated, to terminate its forward swaps before the effective date.
Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap
Nuveen Investments 63
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with
a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the
Fund upon termination. The Funds did not invest in forward interest rate swap
transactions during the six months ended November 30, 2009.
FUTURE CONTRACTS
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its
investment objectives and is authorized to invest in futures contracts in
attempt to manage such risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is
required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or liquid securities equal
to a specified percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the "initial
margin." Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open
futures contracts, if any, is recognized as "Deposits with brokers for open
futures contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent
payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending
on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. Variation margin is
recognized as a receivable or payable for "Variation margin on futures
contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on a
daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract and is
recognized as "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures
contracts" on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or
expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between
the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when
originally entered into and is recognized as "Net realized gain (loss) from
futures contracts" on the Statement of Operations.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement
of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that
there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a
change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value
of the underlying securities or indices. The Funds did not invest in futures
contracts during the six months ended November 30, 2009.
MARKET AND COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments
and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to
changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the
transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could
exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements.
Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit
risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and
swap transactions. The extent of each Fund's exposure to counterparty credit
risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as
recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts expose a
Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the
exchange's clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures,
guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only
with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor
their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of
the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge
collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf
of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized
gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an
unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the
Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the
unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are
monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either
up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.
ZERO COUPON SECURITIES
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon
security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life
of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from
accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security
at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.
CUSTODIAN FEE CREDIT
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
64 Nuveen Investments
INDEMNIFICATIONS
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Trustees are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds
enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The
Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net
assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In determining the value of each Fund's investments various inputs are used.
These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management's
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a
summary of each Fund's fair value measurements as of November 30, 2009:

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount,
timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment
transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate
securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that
differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified
within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented
in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences
do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets
within each individual Fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund
shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as
well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the
aggregate amount of total fund net assets managed as stated in the following
table. As of November 30, 2009, the complex-level fee rate was .1896%.

================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed net assets of all Nuveen
funds, with such daily managed net assets defined separately for each fund
in its management agreement, but excluding assets attributable to
investments in other Nuveen funds. For the complex-level and fund-level
fee components, daily managed net assets include assets managed by the
Adviser that are attributable to each fund's use of financial leverage.
For these purposes, financial leverage includes the funds' use of
preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest
certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender
option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by the TOB
trust that has been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of
floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser to limit
the amount of such assets for determining managed net assets in certain
circumstances.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are affiliated with the
Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services
to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has
adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables
Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual
compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised funds.
Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had
been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised funds.
For the first ten years of Connecticut Dividend Advantage's (NFC) and
Massachusetts Dividend Advantage's (NMB) operations, the Adviser has agreed to
reimburse the Funds, as a percentage of average daily net assets, for fees and
expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below:

8. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
During June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the authoritative guidance under
GAAP on accounting for transfers of financial assets. The objective of this
guidance is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its
financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a
transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a
transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.
This guidance is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods
within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting
periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and
measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring
on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of this
guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the
effective date of this guidance. At this time, management is evaluating the
implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial
statement amounts and disclosures, if any.

========================================================================================
* Net ordinary income consists of net short-term capital gains.
MUNIFUND TERM PREFERRED SHARES
As discussed in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section, subsequent to the
reporting period, Connecticut Premium Income (NTC) and Massachusetts Premium
Income (NMT) successfully completed the issuance of $17.3 million and $17.575
million, respectively, of 2.65%, Series 2015 MuniFund Term Preferred. The
newly-issued MuniFund Term Preferred shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) under the symbols "NTC Pr C" and "NMT Pr C" for Connecticut Premium
Income (NTC) and Massachusetts Premium Income (NMT), respectively.
Subsequent to the reporting period, Connecticut Dividend Advantage (NFC),
Connecticut Dividend Advantage 2 (NGK), Connecticut Dividend Advantage 3 (NGO),
Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB) and Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free
Advantage (NGX) filed with the SEC a registration statement seeking to register
MuniFund Term Preferred shares. These registration statements, declared
effective by the SEC, enable the Funds to issue to the public shares of MuniFund
Term Preferred to refinance all or a portion of each Fund's auction rate
preferred shares. The issuance of MuniFund Term Preferred shares by these Funds
is subject to market conditions. There is no assurance that these MuniFund Term
Preferred shares will be issued.
EVALUATION DATE
In May 2009, the FASB issued changes to authoritative guidance under GAAP for
subsequent events. This guidance requires an entity to recognize in the
financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide
additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance
sheet. This guidance is intended to establish general standards of accounting
and for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance
requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for that date - that is, whether that date
represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be
issued. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The Funds have performed an evaluation of subsequent events
through January 25, 2010, which is the date the financial statements were
issued.

==================================================================================
* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net
asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value,
if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid
on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be
reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for
the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's
market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different
from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After expense reimbursement from Adviser, where applicable. Expense ratios
do not reflect the reduction of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund's
net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.
*** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned and
expenses incurred on assets attributable to Preferred shares.
(a) The expense ratios in the above table reflect, among other things, the
interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate
certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited
inverse floaters held by the Fund, as described in Footnote 1 - Inverse
Floating Rate Securities.
(b) For the six months ended November 30, 2009.

* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net
asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value,
if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid
on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be
reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for
the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's
market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different
from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After expense reimbursement from Adviser, where applicable. Expense ratios
do not reflect the reduction of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund's
net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.
*** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned and
expenses incurred on assets attributable to Preferred shares.
(a) The expense ratios in the above table reflect, among other things, the
interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate
certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited
inverse floaters held by the Fund, as described in Footnote 1 - Inverse
Floating Rate Securities.

REINVEST AUTOMATICALLY EASILY AND CONVENIENTLY
NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains distributions in additional Fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the
shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be
purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. Dividends and distributions received to
purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions
awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price
82 Nuveen Investments
per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the
acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid
in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage
commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These
commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
FLEXIBLE
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT
o AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
sale are deemed to have "failed," with current holders receiving a
formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
o AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period.
It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal
the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or
market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if
any) over the time period being considered.
o AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or
the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.
o INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse
floaters, are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a
fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates
typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in
amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market
value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes
referred to as an "inverse floater") to an investor (such as a Fund)
interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond.
The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely
with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates' holders,
and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears
substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk. The
holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately
from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond's value. Hence, an
inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond
on a leveraged basis.

o LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period
over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently
is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes
when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's or Fund's
duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest
rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging
process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's
portfolio of bonds.
o MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
o NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's NAV per common share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then
dividing the remainder by the number of common shares outstanding. Fund
NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
o PRE-REFUNDING: Pre-refunding, also known as advanced refundings or
refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to
refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new
bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury
securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the
higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally
raises a bond's credit rating and thus its value.
o TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable
investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond
investment.
o ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon
to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder
of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original
purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at
maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero
coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds
that pay interest periodically.
