In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of the
BlackRock Closed-End Funds listed above as of and for the year ended October 31,
2005 in accordance with the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), we considered their internal control over financial
reporting, including control activities for safeguarding securities, as a basis
for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions
on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Trusts' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion.

The management of the Trusts is responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Such internal control includes policies and procedures
that provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that
adversely affect the Trust's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or
report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement
of the Trust's annual or interim financial statements that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a
significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement or the annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Our consideration of the Trusts' internal control over financial reporting was
for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not
necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted
no deficiencies in the Trusts' internal controls over financial reporting and
its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider
to be a material weakness as defined above as of October 31, 2005.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Board of Directors of the BlackRock Closed-End Funds and the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.
