RE: Memorial Funds - CIK No.: 0001045701
Request for Withdrawal of Amendment to Registration Statement
on Form N-1A/A.
File Nos.: 333-41461; 811-08529
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Today, March 18, 1998, we submitted Pre-Effective Amendment No. 4 on behalf of
Memorial Funds (the "Registrant") under the submission header N-1A/A, accession
number 0001004402-98-000190. The purpose of this filing was to correct the
signature page which had been filed with incorrect information in Pre-Effective
Amendment No. 3, accession number 0001004402-98-000178, filed under the
Securities Act of 1933, and Pre-Effective Amendment No. 3, accession number
0001004402-98-000182, filed under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
"Pre-Effective Amendment No. 4" as filed under submission header N-1A/A should
have been "Post Effective Amendment No. 1"under the submission header 485BPOS to
include the corrected signature page.
Pursuant to Rule 477(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, I am requesting that
the Registrant's Pre-Effective Amendment No. 4, accession number
0001004402-98-000190 be withdrawn from the Commission's records.
Sincerely,
/s/ Diane L. Gates
