sufficiently designed to disclose holdings that received <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-kind</FONT> payments during the period covered by the Report. The Fund has enhanced such control to include a review of the Custodian&#146;s Purchase and
Sales Journals to correctly identify all holdings that receive <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-kind</FONT> interest payments and ensure they are disclosed properly in the Fund&#146;s annual reports on Form
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">N-CSR</FONT> and Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">N-PORT</FONT> filings.&nbsp;In addition, the Fund has evaluated the lack of review of the Custodian&#146;s purchase and Sales Journals and concluded that this
control deficiency does not rise to the level of a significant deficiency nor a material weakness. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center">* * * * * </P>
