Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion in connection with the
registration by Liberty U.S. Government Money Market Trust
("Trust") of an additional 492,734,547 Shares of Beneficial
Interest ("Shares") pursuant to Post-effective Amendment No.
30 to the Trust's registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
of 1933 (File No. 2-65447). The subject Post-effective
Amendment will be filed pursuant to Paragraph (b) of Rule
485 and become effective pursuant to said Rule immediately
upon filing.
As counsel we have participated in the organization of
the Trust and its registration under the Investment Company
Act. We have also participated in the preparation and
filing of the Trust's amended registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933 referred to above. We have
examined and are familiar with the provisions of the written
Declaration of Trust dated August 30, 1979, ("Declaration of
Trust"), the Bylaws of the Trust and such other documents
and records deemed relevant. We have also reviewed
questions of law and consulted with counsel thereon as
deemed necessary or appropriate by us for the purposes of
this opinion.
On the basis of the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The Trust is duly organized and validly existing
pursuant to the Declaration of Trust.
2. The Shares which are currently being registered by
the Registration Statement referred to above may be legally
and validly issued from time to time in accordance with the
Declaration of Trust upon receipt of consideration
sufficient to comply with the provisions of Article III,
Section 3, of the Declaration of Trust and subject to
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
applicable state laws regulating the sale of securities.
Such Shares, when so issued, will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
3. Post-effective Amendment No. 30 does not contain
disclosures which would render it ineligible to become
effective pursuant to Paragraph (b) of Rule 485.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as a
part of the Trust's registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act
of 1933 and as a part of any application or registration
statement filed under the securities laws of the States of
the United States. We further consent to the reference to
this opinion and the reference to us as counsel to the Trust
in the prospectus, registration statements and applications.
Very truly yours,
Houston, Houston & Donnelly
