Alliance Global Strategic Income Trust, Inc.

Dear Sirs:
We have acted as counsel for Alliance Global
Strategic Income Trust, Inc. a Maryland corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the Company's Rule 24f-2
Notice to be filed pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to report the
sale of 406,535 shares of common stock of the Company, par
value $.001 per share, during the fiscal year of the Company
ended October 31, 1996, in reliance upon that Rule and
pursuant to the registration of an indefinite number of such
shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
As counsel for the Company, we have examined and
relied upon such records of the Company and other documents
and certificates as to factual matters as we have deemed to
be necessary to render the opinion set forth below.
Based on that examination we are of the opinion
that the 406,535 shares so sold in reliance upon Rule 24f-2
were duly authorized and legally issued and, upon their
issuance, were fully paid and nonassessable shares of common
stock of the Company under the laws of the State of
Maryland.
Our opinion above stated is expressed as members of
the bar of the State of New York.
<PAGE>
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to
the above-referenced Rule 24f-2 Notice.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Seward & Kissel
