To Our Shareholders:


For the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, The Corporate Fund
Accumulation Program, Inc. provided a total investment return of
- -2.77%, based on a change in per share net asset value from $21.59
to $20.42, and assuming reinvestment of $0.574 per share income
dividends.

The Environment
The pace of economic activity picked up over the course of the six-
month period ended June 30, 1996. As a result, recessionary concerns
have abated. Investors are now focusing on prospects for an
overheating economy, increasing inflationary pressures, and the
potential for monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve
Board. With more robust economic growth, a sharp rise in prices for
crude oil and agricultural commodities, and expectations of
escalating wage pressures, long-term interest rates (as measured by
the yield on the 30-year US Treasury bond) are in excess of 7%.

Inflationary concerns were heightened further shortly after the
close of the June period with the report of a stronger-than-expected
employment report for June. Unemployment fell to a six-year low, and
hourly wages rose sharply. This mounting evidence of a tighter labor
market and rising labor costs suggested to many investors that the
US central bank would be forced to raise short-term interest rates
in the coming months. In the weeks ahead, investors will continue to
monitor economic data releases to determine the potential for
monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve Board. Evidence of
more moderate, but sustained, economic activity would be a
beneficial development for the US capital markets.

Portfolio Matters
The acceleration of job creation, which became evident in February,
adversely impacted interest rates during the six-month period ended
June 30, 1996. Job growth averaged 233,000 jobs per month during the
first six months of 1996, compared with an average monthly gain of
only 144,000 for the same period in 1995. Combined with a surprising
strength in the wage and salary index, this data caused concern that
the period of favorable inflationary developments may be drawing to
a close. Economic activity heated up in the second quarter of 1996,
and there was speculation that the Federal Reserve Board may reverse
trend and tighten interest rates during the summer months. Federal
Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan lamented that serious
discussion in Washington related to reducing the Federal budget
deficit had faded, which caused investors additional concern.
Trading activity pushed the long-term Treasury note rate from under
6% up to 7.25% before recovering to 6.90% at June 30, 1996.

We took a defensive position in this investment environment. We
achieved this by shortening the average duration of The Corporate
Fund Accumulation Program, Inc. from 5.86 years to 4.68 years. This
was accomplished by trading down the yield curve. The Program
remained underweighted in the utility and Canadian sectors. At the
same time, we increased our commitment to Yankee issues. We hope
that economic growth will slow in the third quarter, but we will
remain wary by continuing to maintain a defensive strategy. The
steepness of the short-term yield curve compelled us to be fully
invested, but inflationary concerns will keep us cautious.

In Conclusion
We appreciate your ongoing interest in The Corporate Fund
Accumulation Program, Inc., and we look forward to sharing our
investment strategy with you in our upcoming annual report to
shareholders.


Sincerely,

The Corporate Fund Accumulation Program, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements


1. Significant Accounting Policies:
The Corporate Fund Accumulation Program, Inc. (the "Program") is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diver-
sified, open-end management investment company. These unaudited
financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results
for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies followed by the Program.

(a) Valuation of securities--Portfolio securities are valued on the
basis of prices furnished by one or more pricing services which
determine prices for normal, institutional-size trading units.
Obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless
this method no longer produces fair valuations. Securities for which
there exists no price quotations or valuations and all other assets
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or on behalf
of the Board of Directors of the Program.

(b) Income taxes--It is the Program's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax
provision is required.

(c) Security transactions and investment income--Security
transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered
into (the trade dates). Interest income (including amortization of
premium and discount) is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized
gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the
identified cost basis.
<PAGE>
(d) Prepaid registration fees--Prepaid registration fees are charged
to expense as the related shares are issued.

(e) Dividends to shareholders--Dividends from net investment income
are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are
recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and
Transactions with Affiliates:
The Program has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
Fund Asset Management, L.P. ("FAM"). The general partner of FAM is
Princeton Services, Inc. ("PSI"), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML & Co."), which is the
limited partner.

FAM is responsible for the management of the Program's portfolio and
provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and
certain other services necessary to the operations of the Program.
For such services, the Program pays a monthly fee of 0.50%, on an
annual basis, of the value of the Program's average daily net
assets. The Investment Advisory Agreement obligates FAM to reimburse
the Program to the extent the Program's expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage fees and extraordinary items) exceed 2.5%
of the Program's first $30 million of average daily net assets, 2.0%
in excess of $30 million but not exceeding $100 million of average
daily net assets, and 1.5% of the average daily net assets in excess
of $100 million. No fee payment will be made to FAM during any
fiscal year which would cause such expenses to exceed the foregoing
expense limitations applicable at the time of such payment.

FAM has entered into an Administrative Agreement with Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. ("MLPF&S"), Prudential Securities, Inc.,
Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., and Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. (the
"Administrators"), whereby the Administrators perform certain
administrative duties on behalf of FAM.


The Corporate Fund Accumulation Program, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)


The Administrators receive a monthly fee from FAM equal to 0.20%, on
an annual basis, of the Program's average daily net assets and have
agreed to reimburse FAM for a portion of the reimbursement of
expenses to the Program as described above, required to be made by
FAM.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Program paid Merrill
Lynch Security Pricing Service, an affiliate of MLPF&S, $1,040 for
security price quotations to compute the net assets value of the
Program.
