described below (the "Bonds"). You should read it together with the Offering
Circular dated January 23, 2001 (the "Offering Circular"), relating to

thereon, are not guaranteed by the United States and do not constitute

| Issue (Title): 6.625% Bonds Due November 15, 2030 |
|
| In the opinion of Arnold & Porter, special tax counsel
to Fannie Mae, the following paragraph, when read in conjunction with the
discussion under "United States Taxation" in the Offering Circulars, correctly
describes the principal United States federal tax treatment of investors
who purchase the Bonds. The discussion does not purport to deal with all
tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which
may be subject to special rules. |
| Issue Price of the Bonds |
|
| Arnold & Porter, special tax counsel to Fannie Mae,
has given Fannie Mae their written legal opinion that the Bonds offered
through this Supplement should be considered part of the same issue as
Fannie Mae's 6.625% Bonds Due November 15, 2030, issued November 03, 2000.
Therefore, the issue price of the Bonds offered through this Supplement
should be U.S. $986.88 per U.S. $1,000 principal amount (the issue price
on November 03, 2000), and holders of the Bonds should not be required
to accrue any original issue premium on the Bonds. Because the Bonds are
being offered at U.S. $1,072.28 per U.S. $1,000 principal amount, purchasers
may acquire the Bonds at a market premium. See "United States Taxation-U.S.
Persons-Debt Securities Purchased for Less Than Their Issue Price" in the
Offering Circular. |
