THE VANGUARD GROUP: LINKING TRADITION AND INNOVATION

At Vanguard, we treasure our rich nautical heritage--even as we steer our course
toward the twenty-first century. Our Report cover reflects that blending of
tradition and innovation, of past, present, and future.

The montage includes a bronze medallion with a likeness of our namesake, HMS
Vanguard (Lord Nelson's flagship at The Battle of the Nile); a clock built circa
1816 in Scotland, featuring a portrait of Nelson (who is also shown, accepting a
surrender, in a detail from a nineteenth-century engraving); and several views
of our recently completed campus, which is steeped in nautical imagery--from our
buildings named after Nelson's warships (Victory, Majestic, and Goliath are
three shown), to our artwork and ornamental compass rose.

VANGUARD HAS ALWAYS STRIVED TO BE THE STANDARD-BEARER for mutual fund
disclosure, going well beyond the "letter of the law" in our shareholder
communications. During the past year, we raised the standard once again by
rewriting and reformatting our Fund prospectuses. They are designed to ensure
that prospective investors fully understand, before they make an investment,
each Fund's investment strategies, risks, and costs. In that spirit, we have
redesigned our Annual Reports to shareholders, which provide a comprehensive
discussion and analysis of the year's results in the context of each Fund's
investment objectives and policies. Since Vanguard has long been recognized for
the quality and content of these Fund Reports, our overriding objective was to
maintain the character of the previous Reports, while adding information to
assist shareholders in understanding the investment characteristics of their
Fund.

THE NEW FUND REPORTS INCLUDE A MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS from Chairman John C.
Bogle and President John J. Brennan. This Message continues to provide a candid
assessment of the Fund's performance relative to an appropriate unmanaged
market benchmark and a peer group of mutual funds with similar investment
policies. It also reviews the principal factors contributing to--and detracting
from--the returns earned by the Fund. To help you evaluate your Fund's
current-year performance, the Message includes a discussion of the Fund's
long-term investment results, as well as a look ahead to the prospects for the
coming year. A recap of the financial markets, which had been included as part
of the Chairman's letter, now appears in The Markets In Perspective. This
overview covers the world's financial markets, putting the results of the
Fund's strategy in a global perspective.

THE PORTFOLIO PROFILE REPRESENTS AN ADDITION TO OUR FUND REPORTS. In this day
and age, many investors use detailed statistical information to evaluate their
mutual fund holdings, and our new Portfolio Profile furnishes shareholders with
comprehensive data on key characteristics--sector diversification, volatility,
top-ten holdings, among others--that ultimately define how a Fund is likely to
perform in various market environments. For this information to be used
effectively, we include a brief description of the profiled characteristics.
The Report From The Adviser (for our traditionally managed Funds) now covers
specific topics that we have defined as being the important ones for the
adviser to address--and we do our best to ensure that this Report is written in
the same simple and candid manner that characterizes all Vanguard
communications. Finally, each Adviser's Report will include an inset reminder
of the adviser's basic investment philosophy.

WE TRUST THAT THIS REDESIGNED FUND REPORT will continue to meet your need for a
fair, candid, and clear presentation of your Fund's investment results and a
thorough portfolio review. We welcome any comments that you might have at any
time regarding these Reports.

FELLOW SHAREHOLDER,


Short-term interest rates were stable, on balance, during the fiscal year
ended November 30, 1996. While a bit lower than in 1995, rates remained well
above the rate of inflation. The total return of our Prime Portfolio during
fiscal 1996 was +5.3%, down about 0.5% from our return in the previous year,
but still more than two percentage points above the 3.2% rise in the Consumer
Price Index.

     The table below presents the total return for each Portfolio and for the
average competing money market fund. It also shows the premium that each
Portfolio provided over its average competitor, an edge we call the "Vanguard
Advantage."

FISCAL 1996 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

Money market interest rates fluctuated moderately during the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1996, but the yield on the 90-day U.S.  Treasury bill ended the
fiscal year at 5.1%, a shade below the yield of a year earlier. Rates declined
early in the fiscal year--reaching a low of 4.9% in mid-February--largely as a
result of the Federal Reserve Board's decisions to cut the federal funds rate
by 0.25% in December 1995, and to repeat the action in January. The Fed's
action stemmed from its perception--which was widely shared by financial
markets participants--that the U.S. economy was weakening.

     Investors' perceptions soon changed, however, as a variety of economic
indicators suggested the economy was picking up steam.  The yield on the 90-day
T-bill reversed course, topping out at 5.3% in early July, amid widespread
speculation that the Fed would raise interest rates to keep the economy from
overheating and inflation from accelerating. In the end, inflation did not
flare up through the rest of the fiscal year, and money market interest rates
gradually eased.

     All four of our Portfolios maintained their customary margin of
superiority over our competitors. The main reason is that our operating
expenses are lower than that of the typical money market fund. The Prime,
Federal, and U.S. Treasury Portfolios operated in fiscal 1996 at an expense
ratio (expenses as a percentage of average net assets) of 0.32%, less than half
the 0.72% ratio of our average competitor. Our Institutional Portfolio operated
at an expense ratio of 0.15%, compared to 0.41% for the average institutional
money market portfolio.

     Another of our competitive strengths is the professional management
provided

by Vanguard Fixed Income Group. Our managers make certain that the Portfolios
provide the highest yields possible while maintaining liquidity and the highest
levels of credit quality. This Group's professional management and rigorous
standards for high quality and liquidity should help to maintain the stability
of our net asset values. Of course, there are no guarantees--either by us or
any other money market fund--that the $1.00 per share net asset value will be
maintained under all future circumstances.

LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

The excellent performance of our Portfolios relative to competing money market
funds in fiscal 1996 was no fluke. Our low operating costs, we believe, give us
a sustainable advantage in our quest to provide top returns to our
shareholders. The adjacent table tells the tale for the past ten years.

     The margin our Portfolios have earned over their competitors translates
over time to significant sums--amounting for our Prime and Federal Portfolios
to roughly $800 on initial investments of $10,000 made a decade ago. Those
additional earnings are essentially a "free lunch" available to the money
market fund investor, for they are attained with no sacrifice whatsoever in
credit quality or liquidity.

IN SUMMARY

Money market mutual funds can play two important roles: (1) in a savings plan,
providing superior yields over time; and (2) in a balanced investment program,
providing safety, liquidity, and current income as the short-term reserves
complement to stock funds and bond funds. Money market funds provide a harbor
sheltered from the volatile, stormy seas of long-term investing. Whatever your
purpose in holding our Money Market Portfolios, we pledge to continue to offer
low-cost, high-quality Portfolios professionally managed to provide returns
that will closely track those of the overall money market. In short, we will
"stay the course" we have followed for more than two decades.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS OF THE U.S. TREASURY PORTFOLIO

Shareholders of the U.S. Treasury Portfolio approved on November 19, 1996, a
reorganization of the Portfolio within a Delaware business trust. On December
2, the effective date of the reorganization, the Portfolio became an
independent entity named Vanguard Treasury Money Market Portfolio and is no
longer structured as a part of Vanguard Money Market Reserves. The change,
proposed for the sole purpose of reducing state taxes payable by the U.S.
Treasury Portfolio, has no effect on shareholders of the Prime Portfolio or
Federal Portfolio. Despite this technical change, we will continue to report to
the shareholders of all the Portfolios in our existing format.

SUMMARY OF SPECIAL MEETING RESULTS

The Annual Meeting of shareholders of the U.S. Treasury Portfolio of Vanguard
Money Market Reserves was held at Vanguard's corporate headquarters on November
19, 1996, to approve a plan of reorganization of the U.S. Treasury Portfolio of
Vanguard Money Market Reserves, Inc. into a Portfolio (the "Treasury Money
Market Portfolio") of a Delaware business trust named Vanguard Treasury Fund.
As shown in the table summarizing the results of the meeting, 94% of the shares
that were voted endorsed management's recommendation to make this change.

THE MARKETS IN PERSPECTIVE: FISCAL YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996

[PHOTO]

U.S. EQUITY MARKETS

Few investors would have expected the stock market over the past 12 months to
come close to matching the 37.0% return of the prior 12. Yet when the past two
fiscal years are considered cumulatively, the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
Stock Price Index has risen 75.1%. Not surprisingly, many of the factors that
drove the market higher in 1995 were also in place this year. Once again,
steady economic growth and low inflation were powerful motivators.

     The equity markets were decidedly "un-equitable," however, when it came to
size and sectors. Companies with larger market values, such as those that
dominate the S&P 500 Index, prevailed. In fact, even within the Index, it was
the largest companies that turned in the best performance. The 50 biggest
companies in the S&P 500 Index (which account for roughly half its market
value) gained 31.8% in the fiscal year ended November 30, compared with an
increase of 27.9% for the entire Index. Looking at the S&P 500 Index's
performance by sector, financial stocks were strongest, closing the year with a
41.9% gain. Technology stocks were a close second, gaining 39.3%. Utilities,
plagued early in the year by higher interest rates and a rapidly changing
competitive landscape, eked out a 4.4% return, the lowest within the Index.

     With the largest companies performing so well, it was difficult for
smaller issues to keep pace. This was evidenced in the considerable difference
between the 27.9% return of the S&P 500 Index and the 16.5% return of the
Russell 2000 Small Stock Index.  Even for the smaller companies, there was a
significant range of performance among sectors. Energy stocks led the Russell
2000 Index with a 77.0% gain for the year. Here, rising prices, limited
exposure to the cyclical refining business, and a reduced number of competitors
created a favorable environment for the stocks. At the other end of the
spectrum were health-care stocks, which showed a loss of -0.4%.

U.S. FIXED-INCOME MARKETS

As the fiscal year ended, the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield of 6.4% was modestly
higher than its 6.1% level on November 30, 1995. The relatively small
difference in these figures belies the turmoil endured by the fixed-income
markets over the past 12 months.

     When the fiscal year began, "Steady as she goes" was the common wisdom.
Modest economic growth and benign inflation were expected to continue, giving
the Federal Re-

serve no reason to move interest rates higher. That complacency was shattered
by an exceptionally strong February jobs report, the first of what turned out
to be a succession of signs that in fact the economy was growing at a much
faster--and potentially inflation-inducing--pace. The bond market reacted
swiftly to compensate for the perceived risk: The 30-year Treasury yield jumped
from just below 6.0% in late December to 6.7% in late March. The next several
months saw a consistent pattern in which bond yields rose on the Friday of the
jobs-report release only to fall back by the middle of the month. In reality,
there was little bite to the bark. Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price
Index, remained near an annualized rate of 3.2%. And, as the fiscal year
entered its final quarter, evidence once again pointed to more "acceptable"
levels of growth. That--plus the market's satisfaction with the national
election results and prospects for budget action--helped bonds finish the
fiscal year with a strong rally.

     The rally enabled the longer-maturity sectors of the market to overcome
performance deficits and finish the year with positive returns. Although the
specter of the Federal Reserve Board loomed large during the year, in fact the
Board acted only twice, lowering the federal funds rate by a total of 0.5%.

     Corporate bonds, mortgage-backed issues, and municipals were three
relatively bright spots over the past year. The strength in earnings that
benefited stock prices extended to the corporate bond sector as well. These
bonds, especially those of lower credit quality, performed well relative to
Treasuries as there appeared to be little risk of skipped interest payments or
bankruptcy against the good earnings backdrop. The stable-to-rising
interest-rate environment throughout most of the year benefited another large
segment of the bond market--mortgages--as the threat of refinancings receded.
Finally, municipal bonds outpaced their U.S.  Treasury counterparts. The sector
was shielded to a certain extent from the inflation wars of the Treasury
market, and demand outstripped supply for much of the year.

INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKETS

Concern about U.S. Federal Reserve Board policy appeared to drive global
markets as much as it did those in the United States. In aggregate, the markets
rose 17.0%, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International-Europe,
Australasia, Far East Index. A stronger dollar reduced this return to 12.1% for
U.S.-based investors.

     Regionally, Europe's 22.9% return overshadowed the 1.4% generated by the
Pacific Basin. Europe's major markets continued to work toward the economic
targets that must be attained by 1999 under the Maastricht Treaty. This
ongoing, albeit bumpy, effort kept the continent's economic growth modest and
gave investors confidence. The Pacific region, of course, was dominated by the
influence of the Japanese market. Despite evidence of a strengthening economy
early in the year, Japan's market was shadowed by lingering problems in the
banking and real estate sectors and by tepid interest on the part of Japanese
investors. The dollar's appreciation against the yen had a significant impact
on returns, turning the year's 7.1% gain in yen into a -4.5% loss in  dollars.
In contrast, the returns for a number of other countries in the region were
quite strong: for example, Hong Kong, 38.2%, and Malaysia, 31.8% (in U.S.
dollars).

REPORT FROM THE ADVISER

[PHOTO]

"THE YEAR OF LIVING CHANGELESSLY . . ."

In the fiscal year ended November 30, 1996, the three Portfolios of Vanguard
Money Market Reserves performed just as one would expect given their short
average maturities and their high average credit quality. With their compelling
advantage in the form of lower expenses, they outperformed comparable money
market mutual funds by margins ranging from 0.35% to 0.48%.

     The Portfolios also performed quite well relative to inflation, producing
returns about 2% in excess of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Historically,
this "real rate" (i.e., inflation-adjusted rate) has been decidedly less
generous. Hence, Portfolio shareholders enjoyed a rewarding year on an absolute
basis as well as compared to competitive funds and the CPI.

     The bond market was quite volatile last year, but much of that volatility
was experienced by securities with terms to maturity well beyond those
contained in the three Portfolios. In the region of the yield curve that
consists of securities with maturities of less than one year, the markets were
relatively tranquil.

     After two minor easings of monetary policy early in the fiscal year (which
resulted in the federal funds rate moving a total of 0.5% lower to 5.25% in
response to a favorable inflation outlook), the Federal Reserve has held
short-term interest rates steady. In public-policy discussions, Fed Chairman
Alan Greenspan has cited the absence of economic imbalances (such as excessive
inflation, surplus inventory, too much borrowing) that in past cycles have
derailed the economy from a path of sustainable, long-term growth.
Consequently, short-term securities markets, heavily influenced by the Fed's
actions, have traded in a narrow band, with three-month U.S. Treasury bills
yielding between 4.9% and 5.5%.

YOUR VANGUARD MONEY MARKET RESERVES PORTFOLIOS

In overseeing the Prime, Federal, and U.S. Treasury Portfolios of Vanguard
Money Market Reserves, we have steered clear (as usual) of interest-rate
speculation. In the environment outlined above, there is little to be gained
from "swinging for the fences" with big changes in the average maturity of our
Portfolios. While staying within the range of maturity lengths we consider
neutral, we have leaned toward the upper end so as to garner some benefit from
the upward slope of the yield curve while maintaining healthy liquidity. On
several occasions, we have temporarily extended the U.S. Treasury Portfolio to
take advantage of particularly appealing yields on securities with only
slightly longer terms to maturity. Also--no surprise to our longer-term Prime
Portfolio shareholders--we have stuck to our conservative credit-quality
policies. As in other sectors of the bond market, interest-rate differentials
between money market securities of high-credit-quality and low-credit-quality
issuers are exceptionally narrow by historic standards. In such a climate,
there is almost no cost, in terms of foregone yield, to maintaining a very

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The Fund reflects a belief that its Portfolios can provide the highest level of
current income consistent with capital preservation and liquidity by holding
high-quality money market instruments issued by financial institutions,
non-financial corporations, the U.S. government, and federal agencies.

high-quality portfolio. Add to this equation the low expenses charged to our
shareholders, and the result is consistently competitive returns.

AVERAGE MATURITY. The average length of time until bonds held by the portfolio
reach maturity and are repaid. In general, the longer the average maturity, the
more a portfolio's share price will fluctuate in response to changes in market
interest rates.

AVERAGE QUALITY. An indicator of credit risk, this figure is the average of the
credit ratings assigned to the portfolio's securities holdings by credit-rating
agencies. Agencies assign credit ratings after an appraisal of an issuer's
ability to meet its obligations.

DISTRIBUTION BY CREDIT QUALITY. An indicator of the risk of default or other
credit problems on securities held by the portfolio.

DISTRIBUTION BY ISSUER. A breakdown of a portfolio's holdings by type of issuer
or type of instrument. Corporations issue commercial paper, while banks issue
certificates of deposit and banker's acceptances.

EXPENSE RATIO. The percentage of a portfolio's average net assets used to pay
its annual administrative and advisory expenses. These expenses directly reduce
returns to investors.

NUMBER OF ISSUES. An indicator of diversification. The more separate issues a
portfolio holds, the less susceptible it is to a price decline stemming from
the problems of a particular issue.

YIELD. A snapshot of a portfolio's interest income. The yield, expressed as a
percentage of the portfolio's net asset value, is based on income earned by the
portfolio over the previous seven days and is annualized, or projected forward
for the coming year.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY: PRIME PORTFOLIO-INDIVIDUAL CLASS


All of the data on this page represent past performance, which cannot be used
to predict future returns that may be achieved by the Portfolio. Note that
annual returns can fluctuate widely. An investment in a money market fund is
neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government, and there is no
assurance that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of
$1.00 per share.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY: U.S. TREASURY PORTFOLIO


All of the data on this page represent past performance, which cannot be used
to predict future returns that may be achieved by the Portfolio. Note that
annual returns can fluctuate widely. An investment in a money market fund is
neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government, and there is no
assurance that the fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of
$1.00 per share.  In 1989, the Insured Portfolio was reorganized as the U.S.
Treasury Portfolio.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 1996

[PHOTO]

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

This Statement provides a detailed list of each Portfolio's holdings on the
last day of the reporting period, including each security's maturity date,
coupon rate or yield to maturity at the time of purchase, and statement-date
market value. Securities are grouped and subtotaled by type of instrument (U.S.
government obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, etc.) Other
assets are added to, and liabilities are subtracted from, the value of Total
Investments to calculate the Portfolio's Net Assets.  Finally, Net Assets are
divided by the outstanding shares of the Portfolio to arrive at its share
price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share. Each Portfolio's objective is to
maintain a constant NAV of $1.00 per share.

    At the end of the Statement of Net Assets of each Portfolio, you will find
a table displaying the composition of the Portfolio's net assets on both a
dollar and per-share basis. Virtually the entire amount of net assets consists
of Paid in Capital (money invested by shareholders). Undistributed Net
Investment Income is usually zero because the Portfolio distributes its net
income to shareholders as a dividend each day, and Accumulated Realized Gains
(Losses) are very small because the Portfolio seldom realizes any significant
gains or losses on sales of securities.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

This Statement shows interest earned by each Portfolio during the reporting
period, and details the operating expenses charged to the Portfolio. The Prime
Portfolio also reports the breakdown of expenses charged to each class of its
shares. Expenses directly reduce the amount of investment income available to
pay to shareholders as income dividends. This Statement also shows any Net Gain
(Loss) realized on the sale of investments, and any Unrealized Appreciation
(Depreciation) on investments during the period.  Realized Net Gain (Loss)
should always be minimal, and Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) should be
zero, for money market portfolios.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

This Statement shows how each Portfolio's total net assets changed during the
two most recent reporting periods. The Operations section summarizes
information that is detailed in the Statement of Operations. Because the
Portfolio distributes its income to shareholders each day, the amounts of
Dividends from Net Investment  Income generally equal the net income earned as
shown under the Operations section. The Capital Share Transactions section
shows the amount shareholders invested in the Portfolio, either by purchasing
shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The Prime
Portfolio-Individual and -Institutional shares' Distributions and Capital Share
Transactions are shown separately.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Each Portfolio's objective is to maintain a constant NAV of $1.00 per share by
distributing all of its income and avoiding capital gains or losses. The
financial highlights table summarizes each Portfolio's investment results and
distributions to shareholders on a per-share basis; the Prime
Portfolio-Individual and -Institutional shares' results are shown separately.
The table also presents the Total Return and shows net investment income and
expenses as percentages of average net assets for each Portfolio or class of
shares. These data will help you assess the variability of net income returns
from year to year and how much it costs to operate the Portfolio.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Vanguard Money Market Reserves is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 as a diversified open-end investment company, or mutual fund, and
comprises the Prime, Federal, and U.S. Treasury Portfolios. The Prime Portfolio
invests in short-term debt instruments of companies primarily operating in
specific industries; the issuers' abilities to meet their obligations may be
affected by economic developments in such industries. The Federal Portfolio
invests in short-term debt instruments issued by the U.S. government or its
agencies and instrumentalities. The U.S. Treasury Portfolio invests in
short-term debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government.

A.  The following significant accounting policies conform with generally
accepted accounting principles for mutual funds. The Fund consistently follows
such policies in preparing its financial statements.

    1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value.

    2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial
statements.

    3. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the
securities  are purchased or sold. Costs used to determine realized gains
(losses) on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific
securities sold. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized,
respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective securities.
Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid on the
first business day of the following month.

    4. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each
agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to
cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or
bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may
be subject to legal proceedings.

B.  The Vanguard Group furnishes at cost investment advisory, corporate
management, administrative, shareholder accounting, marketing, and distribution
services. The costs of such services are allocated to the Fund under methods
approved by the Board of Directors. At November 30, 1996, the Fund had
contributed capital of $2,656,000 to Vanguard (included in Other Assets),
representing 13.3% of Vanguard's capitalization. The Fund's directors and
officers are also directors and officers of Vanguard.

C.  The Prime Portfolio offers two classes of shares, the Individual Class and
the Institutional Class. Institutional shares are designed primarily for
institutional investors that meet certain administrative and servicing criteria
and have a minimum investment of $10 million. Individual shares are offered to
all other investors. Both classes of shares have equal rights as to assets and
earnings, except that each class bears certain class-specific expenses related
to its shareholder activity.

D.  In accordance with the terms of an agreement approved by the shareholders
of Vanguard Institutional Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), on October
27, 1995, the Prime Portfolio issued 734,329,000 of its Institutional Class
shares in exchange for the net assets of the Portfolio of $734,329,000;
combined net assets were $19,180,185,000 as of the merger date. Shareholders of
the Portfolio received 1.000 Prime Portfolio-Institutional Class share for each
share of the Portfolio. This tax-free exchange was accounted for by combining
the assets and liabilities of the Prime Portfolio and the Portfolio at their
values on the date of the merger. The identified cost of investments were
similarly combined.

E.  On November 19, 1996, shareholders of the U.S. Treasury Portfolio voted to
approve its reorganization into the Treasury Money Market Portfolio of Vanguard
Treasury Fund, a newly created Delaware business trust, effective December 2,
1996.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of
Vanguard Money Market Reserves

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Prime Portfolio, Federal Portfolio, and U.S. Treasury Portfolio
(constituting Vanguard Money Market Reserves, hereafter referred to as the
"Fund") at November 30, 1996, and the results of each of their operations, the
changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of
the periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at November 30, 1996 by correspondence with the
custodian and the application of alternative auditing procedures, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
