                        Report of Independent Accountants


To the Trustees and Investors of
The Global Strategic Income Portfolio


In planning and performing  our audit of the financial  statements of The Global
Strategic  Income  Portfolio  (the  "Portfolio")  for the year ended October 31,
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 the Portfolio 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,  errors 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  controls  may  become  inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the  effectiveness  of their 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
October 31, 1999.

This  report is intended  solely for the  information  and use of the  Trustees,
management and the Securities and Exchange  Commission and is not intended to be
and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

The Investment  Adviser has no reasonable cause to believe that the underwriting
commission,   spread  or  profit  is  NOT   reasonable   and  fair  compared  to
underwritings  of similar  securities  during a  comparable  period of time.  In
determining  which  securities  are  comparable,   the  Investment  Adviser  has
considered the factors set forth in the Portfolio's 10f-3 procedures.

         one investment grade rating or (ii) if the issuer or the revenue source

         one of the three highest ratings. Circle (i) or (ii), whichever is met.
