EXHIBIT "A"




January 26, 1996



Vanguard Money Market Reserves, Inc.
100 Vanguard Boulevard
Malvern, PA 19355

Gentlemen:

Vanguard Money Market Reserves, Inc. (the "Fund") was originally organized as a
Pennsylvania business trust on December 18, 1974.  On December 31, 1985, the
Fund was reorganized into a Maryland corporation.  I have acted as Counsel to
the Fund since its initial registration as an open-end management investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), as amended.  It
is in my capacity as Counsel to the Fund that I am furnishing you with this
opinion with respect to the Fund's U.S. Treasury Portfolio.

I have examined the Fund's:  (1) Articles of Incorporation, as amended and
restated, governing its present status as a Maryland corporation; (2) its
Declaration of Trust dated December 18, 1974 and amendments thereto which were
in effect during the time the Fund was organized as a Pennsylvania business
trust; (3) its by-laws currently in effect and its by-laws in effect while
organized as a business trust; (4) minutes of the meetings of shareholders' and
Directors (Trustees); (5) Notification of Registration on Form N-8A under the
1940 Act; (6) Registration on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933
Act") and 1940 Act and all amendments thereto; and (7) all other relevant
documents and records, as well as the procedures and requirements relative to
the issuance and sale of the Fund's shares.

My examination also disclosed the following information:

1.       The Fund is authorized to issue 37,000,000,000 shares of common
stock of the par value of $.001 per share.  The Board of Directors has the
power to designate one or more classes ("Portfolios") of shares of common stock
and classify or reclassify any unissued shares with respect to such Portfolios.
Currently, the Fund is offering shares of three Portfolios allocated as
follows:

</TABLE>

You have instructed me to file, on behalf of the U.S. Treasury Portfolio, a
Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 of the 1940 Act, for the purpose of registering,
under the 1933 Act, the shares set forth above which were sold by the U.S.
Treasury Portfolio during the fiscal year in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 of the
1940 Act.

Based on the foregoing information and my examination, it is my opinion that:

1.       The Fund is a valid and existing corporation of the State of
Maryland legally authorized to issue 37,000,000,000 shares of its common stock,
with a $.001 par value, including 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, from
the Fund's U.S. Treasury Portfolio.  The Board of Directors has the power to
designate one or more classes ("Portfolios") of  shares of common stock and to
classify and reclassify any unissued shares with respect to such Portfolios.

2.       The proposed registration of 2,832,348,916 shares of the Fund's
U.S. Treasury Portfolio in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 of the 1940 Act is proper
and such shares, which were issued for a consideration deemed by the Board of
Directors to be consistent with the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, were
legally authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

3.       During the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995, the holders of the
shares of the Fund's U.S. Treasury Portfolio had all the rights provided with
respect to such holdings by the Articles of Incorporation and the laws of the
State of Maryland.
<PAGE>   6
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Rule 24f-2
Notice filed on behalf of the U. S. Treasury Portfolio, covering the
registration of such shares under the 1933 Act, and to the applications and
registration statements, and amendments thereto, filed in accordance with the
securities laws of the states in which shares of the Fund are offered.  I
further consent to reference in the Prospectus of the Fund to the fact that
this opinion concerning the legality of the issue has been rendered by me.

Very truly yours,
