NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996                                        ALLIANCE TREASURY RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Alliance Government Reserves (the "Trust") is an open-end diversified 
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The 
Trust consists of two portfolios: Alliance Government Reserves and Alliance 
Treasury Reserves (the "Portfolio"). Each portfolio is considered to be a 
separate entity for financial reporting and tax purposes. As a matter of 
fundamental policy, each Portfolio pursues its objectives by maintaining a 
portfolio of high-quality money market securities all of which, at the time of 
investment, have remaining maturities of 397 days or less. The following is a 
summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio.

1. VALUATION OF SECURITIES
Securities in which the Portfolio invests are traded primarily in the 
over-the-counter market and are valued at amortized cost, under which method a 
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized 
on a constant basis to maturity.

2. ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
The organization expenses of the Portfolio are being amortized against income 
on a straight-line basis through September, 1998.

3. TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the require-ments of the Internal 
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all 
of its investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, 
to its shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise 
taxes are required.

4. DIVIDENDS
The Portfolio declares dividends daily and automatically reinvests such 
dividends in additional shares at net asset value. Net realized capital gains 
on investments, if any, are expected to be distributed near year end.

5. GENERAL
Interest income is accrued as earned. Security transactions are recorded on a 
trade date basis. Security gains and losses are determined on the identified 
cost basis. It is the Portfolio's policy to take possession of securities as 
collateral under repurchase agreements and to determine on a daily basis that 
the value of such securities is sufficient to cover the value of the repurchase 
agreements.

NOTE B: ADVISORY FEE AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AN AFFILIATE OF THE ADVISER
The Portfolio pays its Adviser, Alliance Capital Management L.P., an advisory 
fee at the annual rate of .50 of 1% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily 
net assets; .49 of 1% on the next $.25 billion; .48 of 1% on the next $.25 
billion; .47 of 1% on the next $.25 billion; .46 of 1% on the next $1 billion; 
and .45 of 1% in excess of $3 billion.

The Adviser has agreed, pursuant to the advisory agreement, to reimburse the 
Portfolio to the extent that its aggregate expenses (excluding taxes, 
brokerage, interest and, where permitted, extraordinary expenses) exceed 1% of 
its average daily net assets for any fiscal year. The Adviser also voluntarily 
agreed to reimburse the Portfolio from July 1, 1995 to April 25, 1996 for 
expenses exceeding .80 of 1% of its average daily net assets and from April 26, 
1996 to June 30, 1996 for expenses exceeding .85 of 1% of its average daily net 
assets. No reimbursement was required for the year ended June 30, 1996. The 
Portfolio compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary 
of the Adviser) for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer 
agency services for the Portfolio. Such compensation amounted to $356,606 for 
the year ended June 30, 1996.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)            ALLIANCE TREASURY RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE C: DISTRIBUTION ASSISTANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
Under this Plan, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a distribution fee at the 
annual rate of up to .25% of 1% of the average daily value of the Portfolio's 
net assets. The Plan provides that the Adviser will use such payments in their 
entirety for distribution assistance and promotional activities. For the year 
ended June 30, 1996, the distribution fee amounted to $1,340,677 of which 
$1,285,281 was waived. In addition, the Portfolio may reimburse certain 
broker-dealers for administrative costs incurred in connection with providing 
shareholder services, accounting and bookkeeping, and legal and compliance 
support. For the year ended June 30, 1996, such payments by the Portfolio 
amounted to $238,603 of which $127,000 was paid to the Adviser.

NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
At June 30, 1996, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was 
the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. At June 30, 1996, the 
Portfolio had a capital loss carryforward of $895 which expires in 2003.

NOTE E: TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
An unlimited number of shares ($.001 par value) are authorized. At June 30, 
1996, capital paid-in aggregated $700,558,552. Transactions, all at $1.00 per 
share, were as follows:

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS ALLIANCE TREASURY RESERVES PORTFOLIO

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Alliance Treasury 
Reserves Portfolio as of June 30, 1996 and the related statements of 
operations, changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the periods 
indicated in the accompanying financial statements. These financial statements 
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and 
financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial 
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a 
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 
30, 1996, by correspondence with the custodian.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to 
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
Alliance Treasury Reserves Portfolio as of June 30, 1996, and the results of 
its operations, changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights for the 
periods indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
