In its Registration Statement, the Fund elected to register
an indefinite number of Shares pursuant to the provisions of SEC
Rule 24f-2.
We have reviewed the amended Registration Statement of the

the basis of the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares
sold for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994, registration of
which the Rule 24f-2 Notice makes definite in number, were
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to your filing this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Rule 24f-2 Notice referred to above, the Registration Statement
of the Fund and to any application or registration statement
filed under the Securities Laws of any of the States of the
