To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
USLIFE Income Fund, Inc.:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of USLIFE Income Fund, Inc. for the year ended June
30, 1999, we considered its internal control, including
control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to
determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to
comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide
assurance on internal control.
The management of USLIFE Income Fund, Inc. is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling
this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of
controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit
pertain to the entity=s objective of preparing financial
statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or
fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject to
the risk that it may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in internal control that might be
material weaknesses under standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components
does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would
be material in relation to the financial statements being
audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period
by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal
control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above as of June 30, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management, the Board of Directors of USLIFE Income Fund, Inc.
and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
