Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants on Internal Control
Structure

Board of Directors
First Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc.
New York, New York

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
First Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. for the year ended
September 30, 2000, we considered its internal control structure,
including procedures 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 the internal control structure.

The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining an internal control structure.  In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to
assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control
policies and procedures.  Two of the objectives of an internal
control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from
unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in
accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors
or irregularities may occur and not be detected.  Also, projection of any
evaluation of the structure 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 structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be
material weakness under standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants.  A material weakness is a condition in which
the design or operation of the specific internal control structure
elements 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 the
internal control structure, including procedures for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above,
as of September 30, 2000.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management
and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should not be used for
any other purpose.
