your Fund continued to provide you with tax-free monthly income and an
attractive total return. For more specific information about the performance of
your Fund, please see the Portfolio Managers' Perspectives and Performance
Overview sections of this report.
With interest rates at historically low levels, many have begun to wonder
whether interest rates will rise, and whether that possibility should cause them

Nuveen Arizona and Texas Municipal Closed-End Exchange-Traded Funds
(NAZ, NFZ, NKR, NXE, NTX)
Portfolio Managers'
PERSPECTIVE
Portfolio managers Scott Romans, Dan Solender, and Cathryn Steeves discuss the
market environment, key investment strategies and the performance of the five
Funds. Scott, who joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed the Arizona Funds (NAZ,
NFZ, NKR and NXE) since November 2003. With 12 years of investment experience,
Dan assumed portfolio management responsibility for NTX in November 2003. After
the end of this reporting period, in August 2004, he turned over responsibility
for NTX to Cathryn, who has been a research analyst and portfolio manager with
Nuveen since 1996.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE FISCAL
YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2004?
During much of this reporting period, the U.S. economy demonstrated signs of
improvement, as increased capital spending and a rise in consumer confidence
helped fuel strong growth in the overall gross domestic product. However, toward
the end of the 12-month period, higher energy costs and the improving employment
picture began to raise fears of a potential pick-up in inflation. This
combination of inflation concerns and general economic momentum--plus continued
geopolitical uncertainty--served as a catalyst for heightened volatility in the
fixed-income markets. Although interest rates remained at or near historical
lows through much of this 12-month period, yields in the long-term bond markets,
including the municipal market, were increasingly driven by expectations that
the Federal Reserve would raise short-term interest rates and by speculation
over the timing and extent of those rate hikes.
As an example of this interest rate volatility, the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond
Index, a widely followed municipal market benchmark, began this 12-month
reporting period with a yield of 5.41%. After briefly touching 5.50%, the yield
fell steadily to 4.73% by mid-March 2004. From there, the Index's yield rose
back to 5.31% by July 31, 2004.
On June 30, 2004, the Fed moved to increase the fed funds rate by 25 basis
points to 1.25%, the first increase in four years, noting that it anticipated
taking a "measured" approach to further tightening to avoid potential derailment
of the economic recovery. (On August 10, 2004, following the close of this
reporting period, the Fed added another 25 basis points, bringing the target
rate to 1.50%.)
In general, municipal supply nationwide remained relatively strong over the
entire 12-month reporting period. About $366.5 billion in new bonds came to
market during this
4
period, down 7% from the preceding 12 months. The decrease in issuance was more
evident late in the period, with $214 billion in new municipal supply for the
first seven months of 2004 compared with $239 billion for January-July 2003.
HOW ABOUT ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN ARIZONA AND TEXAS?
During this 12-month reporting period, Arizona's economy continued its rapid
recovery, benefiting from positive demographic trends and low business costs
which have attracted companies to the state. Construction, particularly in urban
areas, was booming, and the outlook for tourism steadily improved. In addition,
Arizona's five military bases brought more than $6 billion into the state. As of
July 2004, unemployment in Arizona was 4.4%, down from 5.8% in July 2003 and
below the national average of 5.5%. Partially offsetting this expansion were a
loss of jobs in the semiconductor sector and the trend toward outsourcing the
state's high-tech manufacturing and business services jobs to foreign countries.
In fiscal 2004, Arizona's revenue collection showed marked improvement, with
state tax collections up almost 9%. However, due to above-average population
growth and new policy initiatives, Arizona continues to face education,
healthcare, social services and corrections expenditures that could act as a
constraint on state finances over the next few years. The fiscal 2005 $7.2
billion budget was balanced through the use of recurring revenues and one-time
measures. During the 12-month reporting period ended July 2004, issuers in
Arizona sold $7.4 billion in new municipal bonds, an increase of 1% from the
previous 12-month period. Much of this increase was due to Arizona's population
growth, which translated to a need for new infrastructure, such as schools and
roads. As of July 31, 2004, Arizona debt was rated A1 with a stable outlook by
Moody's and AA- with a negative outlook by Standard & Poor's. This reflects
Moody's revised outlook as of February 2004, based on the state's improving
economy and operating fund liquidity.
The Texas economy continued to emerge from recession over the fiscal year, as
both jobs and payrolls showed modest gains. The services sector is now a major
driver of growth in Texas, and the state's industrial base has diversified
substantially from the volatile oil-driven days so much that increases in energy
prices had only a minor impact on the Texas recovery. High-tech capital Austin,
which boasts new research centers and upgraded production facilities, and San
Antonio and Fort Worth, the beneficiaries of new investments in auto plants,
were returning to healthy growth. Dallas stood to benefit from the recovery
5
of industrial activity along the U.S.-Mexico border following the NAFTA ruling
removing restrictions on Mexican trucks. The jobless rate in Texas, which
dropped over the 12 month period, to 5.7% in July 2004 from 6.8% in July 2003,
remained above the July 2004 national average of 5.5%. Like Arizona, Texas had
positive demographic trends, which exerted the usual budgetary pressures from
growing expenditures for essential services. With no rainy day reserves, the
$117 billion state budget for fiscal 2004/2005 closed a $10 billion gap--the
result of weaker state sales tax revenues--with cuts in children's healthcare,
teacher pension programs, Medicaid and other healthcare programs for low-income
families. During the 12 months ended July 31, 2004, issuers in Texas sold $27.7
billion in new municipal bonds, about equal to the issuance of the previous 12
months. As of July 31, 2004, Texas general obligation debt continued to be rated
Aa1/AA, with stable outlooks, by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively.
IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE ARIZONA AND
TEXAS FUNDS DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2004?
As the market continued to anticipate rising interest rates, we remained focused
on efforts to mitigate some of the interest rate risk inherent in each Fund's
portfolio. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a Fund's portfolio
will decline if market interest rates rise (since bond prices move in the
opposite direction of interest rates). Because longer-term bonds often carry
more interest rate risk than those with short or intermediate terms, we tried to
focus our purchase activity on attractive securities with defensive structures
in the long-intermediate part of the yield curve (i.e., bonds that mature in 15
to 20 years). In many cases, bonds in this part of the curve offered yields
similar to those of longer-term bonds with less inherent interest rate risk and,
we believed, greater total return prospects. We also added some bonds in the
10-year maturity range when we found what we believed were attractive
opportunities. We think this yield curve positioning should also help the Funds
produce more consistent returns over time as interest rates rise and fall.
In keeping with this strategy, some of the bonds we purchased carried coupons
that were higher than current market rates. These "premium" bonds have the
potential to help cushion the impact on the value of the Funds' portfolios if
interest rates continue rise. Some of these additions were financed through the
sale of lower-coupon bonds with longer maturities (i.e., beyond 20 years).
6
Much of the issuance in Arizona during this period came from the limited tax
obligation sector, and we increased our allocations to this sector in all four
of the Arizona Funds. We also worked to reduce our positions in pre-refunded
bonds. In NAZ, for example, we cut our holdings of U.S. Guaranteed and escrowed
bonds to 12% from 17% over the 12 months.
In addition, we worked to moderate the credit risk in NAZ, NFZ and NKR by
reducing our positions in BBB rated holdings. Because lower-rated bonds were
relatively scarce, especially in Arizona, and because these bonds performed well
over the past 12 months, we believed it was a good time to take advantage of
opportunities to sell selected bonds at attractive prices. However, we were
careful to balance the desire for improved quality with the need to generate
income. We continued to add new BBB rated and sub-investment grade rated bonds
to some of the portfolios to better diversify their lower credit quality
holdings.

1 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 indexes do not reflect any expenses.
2 The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds category average is calculated
using the returns of all leveraged and unleveraged closed-end
exchange-traded funds in this category for each period as follows: 1 year,
44 funds; 5 years, 19 funds; and 10 years, 17 funds. Fund and Lipper
returns assume reinvestment of dividends. It should be noted that the
performance of the Lipper Other States category represents the overall
average of annual returns for funds from 10 different states with a wide
variety of economic and municipal market conditions and investment
guidelines, making direct comparisons less applicable.
7
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2004, the annual returns on net asset value
(NAV) for all five Funds in this report exceeded the return on the Lehman
Brothers index. The Funds also outperformed or were in line with the average
return for the Lipper Other States peer group over this period.
One of the primary factors benefiting the performance of each of these Funds
relative to that of the unleveraged Lehman index was the Funds' use of leverage.
While leveraging can add volatility to the Funds' NAVs and share prices,
especially when there are substantial shifts in interest rates, this strategy
can also provide opportunities for additional income and total returns for
common shareholders when short-term interest rates are low and long-term rates
are relatively steady or falling.
Another of our strategies that influenced the performance of the Funds,
especially when compared with each other, was their yield curve positioning. For
example, NFZ was more heavily weighted toward the longer end of the yield curve
during this period, while NAZ was more heavily weighted toward the intermediate
segment. This is one reason for the differences in their total returns over the
12 months.
All of these Funds also benefited from their allocations of lower quality bonds,
which tended to outperform higher quality securities as the economy improved.
This also was a reason for some of the differences between Funds' returns. As of
July 31, 2004, NTX and NFZ had the highest allocations (14% and 11%,
respectively) of bonds rated BBB, while NKR had the lowest (6%). In addition,
NTX's total return was boosted by the strong rebound in the performance of its
position in sub-investment grade American Airlines bonds. In NAZ and NFZ, B-
rated bonds issued by Coconino County for Nevada Power were among the best
performing credits.
Holdings in the healthcare sector, particularly those with lower ratings, also
were strong performers over the 12 month period. All of these Funds had sizeable
allocations to this sector, ranging from 15% in NTX to 11% in both NAZ and NXE,
9% in NKR and 6% in NFZ. The top performing holdings in NAZ, NKR and NXE were
Ba2 rated bonds issued for Phoenix Children's Hospital, which returned 26% for
the 12-month period, and non-rated Winslow Memorial Hospital bonds held by NAZ
which returned 23.5%.
8
The Arizona Funds also benefited from credit upgrades of two of their holdings
during this period, which enhanced the bonds' prices as well as the Funds'
credit quality. The first of these was Catholic Healthcare West, which was held
by all four of the Arizona Funds. In October 2003, Moody's upgraded these bonds
to Baa1 from Baa2, and S&P revised its rating to BBB+ from BBB in March 2004,
based on the system's continued positive operating results, improved cashflow,
and strategies that targeted investment in high-growth areas. The second upgrade
was for bonds issued by Glendale Industrial Development Authority for Midwestern
University, an osteopathic college, which were held by NAZ, NKR, and NXE. These
bonds were upgraded by S&P to A- from BBB+ in June 2004. In NTX, bonds issued by
the Houston Water and Sewer System (maturing in 2030) were pre-refunded during
this period, positively impacting the Fund's annual performance.
Also making a positive contribution to the total returns of NAZ, NXE and NTX
during this period were tobacco bonds issued by Puerto Rico and backed by
revenues from the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement.
Among the Funds' holdings that did not perform as well during this period were
pre-refunded bonds, which underperformed the market as a whole as measured by
the Lehman index. Revenue bonds, insured bonds and general obligation bonds also
did not perform as well as some other sectors, and we worked to reduce our
positions in these bonds over the past 12 months, particularly in NAZ.
HOW ABOUT THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AND SHARE PRICES?
With short-term interest rates remaining at historically low levels during this
reporting period, the leveraged structures of these five Funds continued to
support their dividend-paying capabilities. The extent of this benefit is tied
in part to the short-term rates the Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R)
shareholders. During periods of low short-term rates, the Funds generally pay
relatively lower dividends to their MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave
more earnings to support common share dividends. During this reporting period,
this strategy enabled us to increase the dividend of NFZ, while helping to
maintain the dividends of NAZ, NKR, NXE and NTX.
9
All of these Funds 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 July 31, 2004, all five of the Funds in this
report had positive UNII balances.
As of the end of this reporting period, NAZ was trading at a premium to its NAV,
but less than its average premium over the course of the entire 12 months. NFZ
was trading at a premium greater than its 12-month average. NKR was trading at a
discount to NAV that was smaller than its average discount for the period, while
NXE was trading at a greater discount than its 12-month average. NTX was trading
at a slightly smaller discount than its full-period average.
HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF
JULY 31, 2004?
Given the current geopolitical and economic climate, we continued to believe
that maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of the
end of July 2004, these five Funds continued to offer excellent credit quality,
with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from 84% in
NKR to 83% in NXE, 82% in NAZ, 77% in NFZ and 76% in NTX.
As of the end of July 2004, potential call exposure for these Funds during
2004-2005 ranged from zero in NKR and NXE and 1% in NFZ to 8% in NAZ and NTX.
The number of actual bond calls in all of the Funds will depend largely on
market interest rates.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
Prior to the commencement of operations of Arizona Dividend Advantage 3 (NXE),
the Fund had no operations other than those related to organizational matters,
the initial capital contribution of $100,275 by Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the
"Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., and the
recording of the organization expenses ($11,500) and its reimbursement by Nuveen
Investments, LLC, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
designated state income taxes, where applicable, by investing primarily in a
diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local
government authorities within a single state.
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.
Securities Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees. When
price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service establishes fair market 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. If it is
determined that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate,
the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a
fair value for the security. Temporary investments in securities that have
variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may have extended settlement periods. The securities 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 and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At July 31, 2004, there
were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
37
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute all income and 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, where applicable, to retain
such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. All
monthly tax-exempt income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended July 31,
2004, have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gains
and ordinary income distributions made 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 $25,000 stated value Preferred shares as a
means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued
in one or more Series. The dividend rate on each Series may change every seven
days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction process by the auction agent, and is
payable at or near the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred shares
outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows:

=========================================================================================================
Arizona Dividend Advantage 3 (NXE) issued the Preferred shares listed above on
November 15, 2002.
38
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, its 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.
Offering Costs
Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to pay all common share offering costs (other
than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for Arizona Dividend
Advantage 2 (NKR) and Arizona Dividend Advantage 3 (NXE). Arizona Dividend
Advantage 2's (NKR) and Arizona Dividend Advantage 3's (NXE) share of common
share offering costs ($72,150 and $91,800, respectively) were recorded as a
reduction of the proceeds from the sale of common shares.
Costs incurred by Arizona Dividend Advantage 2 (NKR) and Arizona Dividend
Advantage 3 (NXE) in connection with their offering of Preferred shares
($305,577 and $574,272, respectively) were recorded as a reduction to paid-in
surplus.
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.

Arizona Dividend Advantage 3 (NXE) elected to defer $142,044 of net realized

Post-October losses are treated as having arisen on the first day of the
following fiscal year.
5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under the Funds' investment management agreements with the Adviser, each Fund
paid through July 31, 2004, an annual management fee, payable monthly, at the
rates set forth below, which were based upon the average daily net assets
(including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows:

==========================================================================================================

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 their 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.
As approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, a complex-wide management fee
structure has been adopted by all funds sponsored by the Adviser and its
affiliates effective August 1, 2004. This structure separates each fund's
management fee into two components - a complex-level component, based on the
aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the Adviser and its affiliates,
and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets managed
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
and its affiliates. Under no circumstances will this pricing structure result in
a fund paying management fees at a rate higher than would otherwise have been
applicable had the complex-wide management fee structure not been implemented.
As a consequence of this new management fee structure, the funds' effective
management fees were reduced by approximately .004% starting August 1, 2004.
The complex-level fee schedule for all funds in the Nuveen fund complex is as
follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL

(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets (which includes assets
attributable to leverage used in the Nuveen fund complex) of all funds
sponsored by the Adviser or by its affiliates.
(2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the funds
(via their Board of Directors/Trustees) and the Adviser intend that the
parties will meet, prior to the time when complex-wide Managed Assets reach
that level, to consider and negotiate the fee rate or rates that will apply
to such assets. The parties agree that, in the unlikely event that
complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91 billion prior to the parties reaching
an agreement as to 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 the
parties agree to a different rate or rates.

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 EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded 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.

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 (including change in NAV and reinvested dividends) that
would have been necessary on an annual basis to equal the investment's actual
performance over the time period being considered.
AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of all the maturities of the bonds in a
fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (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.
LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of a bond or bond fund's
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Generally, the longer a bond 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 generally longer than the duration of the actual
portfolio of individual bonds that make up the Fund.
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 NAV is calculated by subtracting the liabilities
of 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.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted
a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or
persons performing similar functions. The registrant has posted such code of
ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/etf.
ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The registrant's board of directors determined that the registrant had at least
one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR)
serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee financial
expert was William E. Bennett, who was "independent" for purposes of Item 3 of
Form N-CSR.
Although Mr. Bennett served as the audit committee financial expert during the
reporting period, he unexpectedly resigned from the Board effective April 30,
2004. Since that time, the Audit Committee determined that Jack B. Evans, the
Chairman of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an audit committee financial
expert and recommended to the full Board that he be designated as such. On July
26, 2004, the full Board voted to so designate Mr. Evans. Accordingly for this
reporting period, the registrant did not have a designated "audit committee
financial expert" from April 30, 2004 to July 26, 2004. Mr. Evans, who is
independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR, served as the registrant's
audit committee financial expert from July 26, 2004 to the end of the reporting
period on July 31, 2004.
Mr. Bennett was formerly Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of
First Chicago Corporation and its principal subsidiary, The First National Bank
of Chicago. As part of his role as Chief Credit Officer, Mr. Bennett set policy
as to accrual of assets/loans; designated performing/non-performing assets; set
the level of reserves against the credit portfolo; and determined the carrying
value of credit related assets and exposure. Among other things, Mr. Bennett was
also responsible for the oversight of the internal analysis function including
setting ground rules for the review and preparation of financial analysis and
financial statements for use in making credit and risk decisions for clients.
Mr. Bennett has significant experience reviewing, analyzing and evaluating
financial statements of domestic and international companies in a variety of
industries with complex accounting issues.
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
NUVEEN ARIZONA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND 3
The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's
auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For
engagements with Ernst & Young LLP entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the
Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services
that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services
that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation
S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The pre-approval exception for services
provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services
other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all
such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of
revenues paid by the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are
provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at
the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the
Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the
services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its
Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

provides ongoing services to the Fund ("Affiliated Fund Service Provider"), for
engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting,
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years.
The table also shows the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval
exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and
any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest

all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of
revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund
Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that
would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not
recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and
(C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. For
engagements entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Audit Committee is
required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provides to
the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related
directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting (except for those
subject to the de minimis exception described above). The Audit Committee
requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about any non-audit
services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to
the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered
this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP independence.

to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund
Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the
Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent
accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to
operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i)
pre-approved by the audit committee if they are expected to be for amounts
greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the audit committee chairman for his
verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under
$10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the audit committee at

Not applicable at this time.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
Not applicable at this time.
ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer held by the Fund were to issue a proxy
or that the Fund were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security,
the Adviser would either engage an independent third party to determine how the
proxy should be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the
instructions, of the Fund's Board of Directors or Trustees or its
representative. In the case of a conflict of interest, the proxy would be
submitted to the applicable Fund's Board to determine how the proxy should be
voted. A member of the Adviser's legal department would oversee the
administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in
accordance with Rule 204-2(c)(2) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (17
CFR 275.204-2(c)(2)), reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the
results were provided to the Board of Directors or Trustees and made available
to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
ITEM 8. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT
COMPANY AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS.
Not applicable to this registrant.
ITEM 9. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the nominating and governance committee
receives suggestions from various sources, including shareholders, as to
suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing to Lorna Ferguson,
Vice President for Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, IL 60606. The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate
standards and requirements for nominations for new directors and reserves the
right to interview all candidates and to make the final selection of any new
directors.
ITEM 10. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) The registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the
registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")(17 CFR
240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)).
(b) There were no changes in the registrant's internal control over

(17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant's last

financial reporting.
