    Definition: A U.S. person is any individual, branch, partnership, 
associated group, association, estate, trust, corporation, or other

and any government (including a foreign government, the United States 
Government, a state, provincial, or local government, and any agency, 
corporation, financial institution, or other entity or instrumentality 
thereof, including a government-sponsored agency), who resides in the 
United States or is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

resident holdings of U.S. securities, including equities, short-term 
debt securities (including selected money market instruments), and 
long-term debt securities.
