Portfolio Managers'
COMMENTS
Portfolio managers Scott Romans and Cathryn Steeves review key investment
strategies and the six-month performance of these five Nuveen Funds. Scott, who
joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed the Arizona Funds since 2003. Cathryn, who
has been with Nuveen since 1996, assumed portfolio management responsibility for
NTX in 2004.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE ARIZONA AND TEXAS FUNDS DURING THIS
REPORTING PERIOD?
During this six-month period, we saw very little change in short-term interest
rates, while longer-term rates continued to decline, resulting in further
flattening of the yield curve. In this environment, we continued to emphasize a
disciplined approach to duration1 management and yield curve positioning. As
part of this approach, our purchases for the Funds' portfolios focused mainly on
attractively priced bonds in the 15-year to 20-year part of the yield curve for
the Arizona Funds and in the 25-year to 30-year range for NTX. We believed that,
in those states, bonds across these parts of the curve generally offered better
value and reward opportunities more commensurate with their risk levels. To help
us maintain the Funds' durations within our preferred strategic range, we also
selectively sold holdings with shorter durations, including pre-refunded bonds
and bonds priced to short call dates, in all of the Funds.
We also continued to emphasize maintaining the Funds' weightings of lower credit
quality bonds. As credit spreads continued to narrow during this period, we
generally saw fewer interesting lower-rated credit offerings in the Texas
market. However, Texas's status as the second largest state issuer of municipal
debt (behind California) meant that we were still able to find opportunities to
add lower-rated bonds, including a BBB rated long-term care credit, to NTX.
At the same time, Arizona's rapid population growth and resulting infrastructure
needs provided a number of value opportunities in the lower-rated and non-rated
sectors. During this period, we added four new positions in community
development district bonds to NFZ, NKR, and NXE. The relative newness of this
type of credit in the Arizona market, plus the state's continued growth, made
these bonds attractive value prospects. Among the other lower-rated credits we
purchased during this period were hospital bonds, increasing the exposure of all
four Funds to the lower credit quality categories.
1 Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates
change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these
changes than bonds with shorter durations.
4
Apart from credit, we also continued to find value in single family housing
bonds, which were added to all of the Arizona Funds.
During this period, we also purchased inverse floating rate trusts, a type of
derivative financial instrument, in all of the Funds. The inverse floaters had
the benefit of increasing the Funds' distributable income and bringing their
durations closer to our preferred strategic target. In past shareholder reports,
we have discussed the use of hedging as part of our duration management
strategies. Going into this reporting period, NXE used forward interest rate
swaps to reduce net asset value (NAV) volatility. We believed this strategy had
been effective, and we removed the hedge in August 2006.
HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM?
Individual results for these Arizona and Texas Funds, as well as relevant index

years are annualized.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be

2 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged
national index comprising a broad range of investment-grade municipal
bonds. Results for the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index do not reflect
any expenses.
3 The Lipper Other State Municipal Debt Funds category average is calculated
using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period
as follows: 6 months, 46; 1 year, 46; 5 years, 27; and 10 years, 18. Fund
and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.
5
For the six months ended January 31, 2007, the cumulative returns on NAV for all
of the Funds outperformed the return on the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index. All five of these Funds lagged the average return for the Lipper Other
States peer group. Shareholders should note that the performance of the Lipper
Other States category represents the overall average of returns for funds from
10 different states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making
direct comparisons less meaningful.
Factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period included duration
management, allocations to lower-rated credits (or credit risk), sector
weightings, advance refunding activity4 and the use of financial leverage.
As the yield curve continued to flatten over the course of this period, bonds
with shorter maturities generally underperformed longer bonds. Overall, NTX was
strategically well positioned in terms of duration, with limited exposure to the
shortest maturities and good exposure to those parts of the yield curve that
performed well during this period. However, the durations of all four of the
Arizona Funds, particularly those of NAZ and NKR, were shorter than our
preferred strategic target, which meant that these Funds were not able to
capture as much performance as funds with longer durations. As previously
mentioned, we worked to address this situation by purchasing inverse floaters in
all of these Funds during this period.
With bonds rated BBB or lower and non-rated bonds generally outperforming other
credit quality sectors during this period, all of the Funds benefited from their
weightings in lower-quality credits. The performance of this sector was largely
the result of investor demand for the higher yields typically associated with
lower-rated bonds, which drove up their value.
Among the lower-rated holdings making contributions to the Funds' returns for
this period were health care (including hospitals) credits and industrial
development revenue bonds, which ranked as the top performing revenue sectors in
the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. While lower-rated tobacco bonds also
performed well during
4 Advance refundings, also known as pre-refundings or refinancings, occur
when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
6
this period, NAZ, NXE, and NTX held only small allocations (approximately 1% of
their portfolios) of these bonds, and NFZ and NKR did not hold any tobacco
bonds. In addition, NTX's exposure to the housing sector was a slightly negative
factor in its six-month performance.
In the Arizona Funds, especially in NAZ, we continued to see positive
contributions from advance refunding activity, which benefited these four Funds
through price appreciation and enhanced credit quality. All four of the Arizona
Funds also benefited from the credit quality upgrade of their holdings of
Catholic Healthcare West bonds to A2/A from A3/A-.
On the other hand, holdings of older, previously pre-refunded bonds in the Funds
tended to underperform the general municipal market, due primarily to their
shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. Among these five Funds,
NAZ had the heaviest allocation of pre-refunded bonds going into this period.
Another factor in the six-month performance of these Funds, especially relative
to that of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, was the use of
financial leverage. While leverage can add volatility to a Fund's NAV and share
price, this strategy can also provide opportunities for additional income and
total return for common shareholders. The Funds' leveraging strategy positively
impacted their results over this period.
7
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
As previously noted, all of the Funds in this report use leverage to potentially
enhance opportunities for additional income for common shareholders. While the
Funds' leveraging strategy continued to provide incremental income, the extent
of this benefit was reduced during this period due to higher short-term interest
rates, which increased the Funds' borrowing costs. The Funds' income streams
were also impacted as the proceeds from older, higher-yielding bonds that
matured or were called were reinvested into bonds currently available in the
market, which generally offered lower yields. These factors resulted in one
monthly dividend reduction in NKR and NTX and two in NFZ over the six-month
period ended January 31, 2007. The dividends of NAZ and NXE remained stable
during this period.
Due to normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following Funds
received capital gains and net ordinary income distributions at the end of
December 2006, as follows:
LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS ORDINARY INCOME
(PER SHARE) (PER SHARE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NFZ $0.0614 $0.0016
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NKR $0.0405 --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NTX $0.0363 --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These distributions, which were generated by bond calls and sales of appreciated
securities, had a slight negative impact on the earning power per common share
of these Funds and were a minor factor in the common share dividend reductions
noted above.
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 January 31, 2007, all of
the Arizona Funds had negative UNII balances for financial statement purposes
and positive UNII balances, based on our best estimates, for tax purposes, while
NTX had positive UNII balances for both financial statement and, based on our
best estimates, for tax purposes.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The state funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding
Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Arizona Premium Income Municipal
Fund, Inc. (NAZ), Nuveen Arizona Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFZ), Nuveen
Arizona Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NKR), Nuveen Arizona Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NXE) and Nuveen Texas Quality Income Municipal Fund
(NTX). Common shares of Arizona Premium Income (NAZ) and Texas Quality Income
(NTX) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of Arizona
Dividend Advantage (NFZ), Arizona Dividend Advantage 2 (NKR) and Arizona
Dividend Advantage 3 (NXE) are traded on the American Stock Exchange. 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 by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio
of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within
a single state or certain U.S. territories.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
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 Directors/Trustees. When
market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for
municipal securities), the pricing service may establish fair value based on
yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue,
coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers,
evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market
conditions. Prices of forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent
pricing service approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. If the
pricing service is unable to supply a price for a municipal bond or a forward
swap contract, each Fund may use a market price or fair market value quote
provided by a major broker/dealer in such investments. If it is determined that
the market price or fair market value for an investment is unavailable or
inappropriate, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee,
may establish a fair value for the investment. Temporary investments in
securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as
short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
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 January 31, 2007, there
were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the 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.
41
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all 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, 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.
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 not less frequently than 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 U.S.
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 or more 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.
The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each
Fund is as follows:

Total 1,200 480 740 880 2,760
==============================================================================================================
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund may 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.
42
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"). An investment in an externally-deposited
inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Inverse
floating rate investment". An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is
accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". In such
instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Underlying bond of an inverse
floating rate trust", 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 accounts for the related interest
paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as "Floating
rate obligations interest expense and fees" in the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended January 31, 2007, each Fund invested in externally
deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest
rate related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the six months ended
January 31, 2007, were as follows:

Average annual interest rate 3.88% 3.88% 3.88% 3.88% 3.81%
===============================================================================================================
Forward Swap Transactions
The Funds are authorized to invest in certain derivative financial instruments.
The Funds' 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 forward 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. 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. 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 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. To reduce such credit
risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the
daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately
equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold.
Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract,
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 swap valuations fluctuate, either up or
down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit
with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Directors/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 U.S. 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.

4. 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 the treatment of paydown gains and losses, 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 transactions subject to SFAS No.140. 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.

5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
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 Nuveen
Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), 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 (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares)
of each Fund as follows:
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ARIZONA PREMIUM INCOME (NAZ)

For the next $1 billion .4000
For the next $3 billion .3875
For net assets over $5 billion .3750

For the next $1 billion .4000
For net assets over $2 billion .3750
================================================================================
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 assets managed as stated in the table below. As
of January 31, 2007, the complex-level fee rate was .1844%.
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) COMPLEX-LEVEL FEE RATE

For the next $5 billion .1175
For the next $15 billion .1150
For Managed Assets over $91 billion (2) .1400
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Nuveen funds) of
Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S.
(2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee
rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later
date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91
billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to
be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level
fee rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such
time as a different rate or rates is determined.
46
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 Directors/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
Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent
Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/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 Arizona Dividend Advantage's (NFZ) operations, the
Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net
assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and
expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below:

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB
Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN
48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized,
measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires
the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of
preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are
"more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax
positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be
recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is
required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied
to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent SEC guidance allows funds
to delay implementing FIN 48 into NAV calculations until the fund's last NAV
calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period. As a
result, the Funds must begin to incorporate FIN 48 into their NAV calculations
by July 31, 2007. At this time, management is continuing to evaluate the
implications of FIN 48 and does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 will have a
significant impact on the net assets or results of operations of the Funds.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires
additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to
fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the
application of this standard relate to the definition of fair value, the methods
used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value
measurements. As of January 31, 2007, the Funds do not believe the adoption of
SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements included within the Statement of
Operations for the period.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY AND CONVENIENTLY
Sidebar text: 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
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. 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 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.

Automatic Dividend
REINVESTMENT PLAN
NOTICE OF AMENDMENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Funds are amending the terms and conditions of their Automatic Dividend
Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan") as further described below effective with the
close of business on May 1, 2007. THESE CHANGES ARE INTENDED TO ENABLE PLAN
PARTICIPANTS UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES TO REINVEST FUND DISTRIBUTIONS AT A
LOWER AGGREGATE COST THAN IS POSSIBLE UNDER THE EXISTING PLAN. Shareholders who
do not wish to continue as participants under the amended Plan may withdraw from
the Plan by notifying the Plan Agent prior to the effective date of the
amendments. Participants should refer to their Plan document for notification
instructions, or may simply call Nuveen at (800) 257-8787.
Fund shareholders who elect to participate in the Plan are able to have Fund
distributions consisting of income dividends, realized capital gains and returns
of capital automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares. Under the Plan's
existing terms, the Plan Agent purchases Fund shares in the open market if the
Fund's shares are trading at a discount to their net asset value on the payable
date for the distribution. If the Fund's shares are trading at or above their
net asset value on the payable date for the distribution, the Plan Agent
purchases newly-issued Fund shares directly from the Fund at a price equal to
the greater of the shares' net asset value or 95% of the shares' market value.
Under the Plan's amended terms, 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. This change will permit Plan
participants under these circumstances to reinvest Fund distributions at a lower
aggregate cost than is possible under the existing Plan.

CEO CERTIFICATION DISCLOSURE
Each Fund's Chief Executive Officer has submitted to the New York Stock Exchange
the annual CEO certification as required by Section 303A.12(a) of the NYSE
Listed Company Manual.
Each Fund has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the
certification of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT
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.
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.
INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities 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.
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.
MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An investment's
current annualized dividend divided by its current market price.
NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any MuniPreferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing
the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at
the end of each business day.
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.
