     Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form N-2
     File Nos. 333-82969, 811-09475

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     On July 16, 1999, Nuveen Insured Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (the
"Registrant") filed a registration statement on Form N-2 relating to the
registration of common shares of beneficial interest of Nuveen Insured Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund (accession number 0000950131-99-004345).  The
registration statement has been on file with the Commission for more than nine
months and has not yet become effective.  Accordingly, the SEC notified the
Registrant by letter dated May 22, 2000 that, pursuant to Rule 479 under the
Securities Act of 1933, the registration statement would be abandoned if the
Registrant did not within 30 days file a substantive amendment, withdraw the
registration, or provide the staff a satisfactory explanation as to why either
of the previous options cannot be accomplished.

     Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
hereby requests the withdrawal of the above mentioned Form N-2 for Nuveen
Insured Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund.

                         Sincerely,



                         Nuveen Insured Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
                                   (Registrant)

                         By: /s/ Gifford R. Zimmerman
