SIGNATURE DENNIS J MCDONNELL
TITLE PRES, CEO & TRUSTEE
Price Waterhouse LLP
October 10, 1997
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of the Van Kampen American Capital
Corporate Bond Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Van
Kampen American Capital Corporate Bond Fund (the "Fund" ) for the
year ended August 31, 1997, 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 Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgements
by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs
of control activities. Generally, control activities that are relevant to an
audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statement for
external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principals. Those control activities include the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or irregularities
may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal
control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the 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 any
specific internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level
the risk that errors or irregularities 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, including control activities for safeguarding securities,
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of August 31,
1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and
the Board of Trustees of the Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
