To Pricing Supplement Dated November 01, 2000
Issue (Title): 6.625% Bonds Due November 15, 2030

UNITED STATES TAXATION


 
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.
