Rule 497(j) Filing (File Nos. 333-75493 and 811-9279)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Van Kampen Equity Trust II (the "Registrant"), filed via EDGAR on June
4, 1999, a copy of Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
on Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement") complete with exhibits filed
therewith pursuant to the General Rules and Regulations (the "1933 Act Rules")
of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.
In accordance with the provisions of Rule 497(j) of the 1933 Act Rules
this letter serves to certify that the prospectus and statement of additional
information contained in the Registration Statement do not differ from that
which would have been filed pursuant to Rule 497(c) of the Securities Act.
Should the staff have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do

Very truly yours,
