(1) Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares ("MuniPreferred") 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 (which is not applicable to
Municipal Value, Municipal Income, Select Maturities, Select Portfolio, Select
Portfolio 2, Select Portfolio 3, California Portfolio and New York Portfolio),
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.

                           3


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.

                           4


Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on June
5, 2006 will be entitled to one vote for each share held or in the case of a
Massachusetts Business Trust a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional
share held. As of June 5, 2006, the shares of the Funds were issued and
outstanding as follows:

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 May 25, 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 any outstanding 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 with outstanding Preferred Shares, 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

                           16


On December 31, 2005, Board Members and executive officers as a group
beneficially owned 1,338,618 shares of all funds managed by the Adviser
(includes deferred units and shares held by the executive officers in Nuveen's
401(k)/profit sharing plan). Each Board Member's individual beneficial
shareholdings of each Fund constitute less than 1% of the outstanding shares of
each Fund. As of June 5, 2006, the Board Members and executive officers as a
group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As
of June 5, 2006 no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of
shares of any Fund.

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 in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the
Board; (b) a fee of $1,000 per day for attendance in person where such in-person
attendance is required and $500 per day for attendance by telephone or in person
where in-person attendance is not required at a special, non-regularly scheduled
board meeting; (c) a fee of $1,000 per day for attendance in person at an audit
committee 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 in person
or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend committee; and (e) a fee of $500
per day for attendance in person at all other committee meetings (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 in person or by telephone 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 in person or by telephone 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 in
person or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend

                           17


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
on days on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held to entities that
provide services to the Nuveen funds. 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. Each of the Funds except
Municipal Income and Select Maturities are Participating Funds under the
Deferred Compensation Plan.

                           18


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 each Fund's shares including, but not
limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income
distributions. The dividend committee of each Fund held five meetings during its
last fiscal year.

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, performance and independence. The audit committee reviews
the work and any recommen-

                           21


dations 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 Board members, 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 and, if qualifying as an
Independent Board Member candidate, independence from the

                           22


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 nominees when the nominee is submitted by a shareholder. The
nominating and governance committee reserves the right to make the final
selection regarding the nomination of any prospective Board member.

The 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 meetings and six special meetings
during the last fiscal year, except that Select Maturities, Select Portfolio,
Select Portfolio 2, Select Portfolio 3, California Portfolio and New York
Portfolio each held five regular meetings and three 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.

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, and (2) the
quality and integrity of the Funds' financial statements, 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 and internal auditors to consider their
evaluation of each Fund's financial and internal
                           29


controls. The committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may replace each
Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. The committee is currently
composed of five Board Members and operates under a written charter adopted and
approved by each Board, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A. Each
committee member meets the independence and experience requirements, as
applicable, of the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, Section 10A
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 the Boards include the audited
financial statements in each Fund's Annual Report.

The members of the committee are:
Robert P. Bremner
Lawrence H. Brown
Jack B. Evans
William J. Schneider
Eugene S. Sunshine

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 Securities and Exchange
Commission (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.

                           35


INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADVISER

The Adviser, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, serves
as investment adviser and manager for each Fund. The Adviser is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Nuveen, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Founded in
1898, Nuveen and its affiliates had $145 billion of assets under management as
of March 31, 2006. Nuveen is a publicly-traded company and is listed on the New
York Stock Exchange and trades under the symbol "JNC".

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

To be considered for presentation at the annual meeting of shareholders of the
Funds to be held in 2007, a shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule
14a-8 of the 1934 Act must be received at the offices of that Fund, 333 West
Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, not later than February 28, 2007. A
shareholder wishing to provide notice in the manner prescribed by Rule
14a-4(c)(1) of a proposal submitted outside of the process of Rule 14a-8 must,
pursuant to each Fund's By-Laws, submit such written notice to the Fund not
later than May 14, 2007 or prior to April 29, 2007. Timely submission of a
proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

Fund shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board
Member should write to the attention of Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board
Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.
The letter should indicate that you are a Fund shareholder and note the fund or
funds that you own. If the communication is intended for a specific Board Member
and so indicates it will be sent only to that Board Member. If a communication
does not indicate a specific Board Member and so indicates it will be sent to
the Lead Independent Director and the outside counsel to the Independent Board
Members for further distribution as deemed appropriate by such persons.

EXPENSES OF PROXY SOLICITATION

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying
notice and proxy statement will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the
number of shareholder accounts. Additional solicitation may be made by letter or
telephone by officers or employees of Nuveen or the Adviser, or by dealers and
their representatives.

FISCAL YEAR

The last fiscal year end for each Fund (except Select Maturities, Select
Portfolio, Select Portfolio 2, Select Portfolio 3, California Portfolio and New
York Portfolio) was October 31, 2005. The last fiscal year end for Select
Maturities, Select Portfolio, Select Portfolio 2, Select Portfolio 3, California
Portfolio and New York Portfolio was March 31, 2006.

ANNUAL REPORT DELIVERY

Annual reports will be sent to shareholders of record of each Fund following
each Fund's fiscal year end. Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of
its annual report and/or semi-annual report as available upon request. Such
written or oral requests should be

                           36


directed to such Fund at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 or by
calling 1-800-257-8787.

Please note that only one annual report or proxy statement may be delivered to
two or more shareholders of a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has
received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an annual
report or proxy statement, or for instructions as to how to request a separate
copy of such documents or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies
of such documents are received, shareholders should contact the applicable Fund
at the address and phone number set forth above.

GENERAL

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that
any other items of business will be presented at the Annual Meetings. However,
if other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meetings for a vote, the
proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon such matters
in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Fund.

A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Annual Meeting
will be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago,
Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours
beginning ten days prior to the date of the Annual Meeting.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate
adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named
in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to
permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal if they
determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in the
best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's By-Laws, an adjournment of
a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in
person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND
RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE
UNITED STATES.

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.

        periodic reports under "Management's Discussion and Analysis."

        statements.

        accounting policies and practices to be used; (b) all alternative
        treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting
        principles that have been discussed with management, ramifications of
        the use of such alternative treatments and disclosures, and the

        or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving management or
        other employees who have a significant role in the Funds' internal
        controls. In fulfilling its obligations under this paragraph, the Audit
        Committee may review in a general manner the processes other Board
