From time to time the Fund advertises its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. To calculate the "yield," the amount of dividends
paid on a share during a specified seven-day period is assumed to be paid each
week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. To
calculate "effective yield," which will be higher than the "yield" because of
compounding, the dividends paid are assumed to be reinvested. Further informa-
tion about the Fund's performance is contained in the annual report to share-
holders and Statement of Additional Information which may be obtained without
charge by contacting Alliance Fund Services, Inc. at the address shown in this
prospectus.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's investment objectives are--in the following order of priority--
safety of principal, excellent liquidity, and maximum current income to the
extent consistent with the first two objectives. As a matter of fundamental
policy, the Fund pursues its objectives by maintaining a portfolio of high
quality money market securities of the types described in the succeeding para-
graph, all of which at the time of investment have remaining maturities of one
year or less, which maturities may extend to 397 days. The Fund may not change
this policy or the other fundamental investment policies described in a sepa-
rate section below without shareholder approval. The Fund may, without such
approval, create additional portfolios which may have different investment ob-
jectives. There can be no assurance, as is true with all investment companies,
that the Fund's objectives will be achieved.

MONEY MARKET SECURITIES

The securities in which the Fund invests are: (1) marketable obligations of,
or guaranteed by, the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentali-
ties (collectively, the "U.S. Government"), including issues of the United
States Treasury, such as bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes and bonds,
and issues of agencies and instrumentalities established under the authority
of an act of Congress; and (2) repurchase agreements that are collateralized
fully as that term is defined in Rule 2a-7 ("Rule 2a-7") under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"). These agreements are entered into
with "primary dealers" (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York)
in U.S. Government securities or State Street Bank and Trust Company, the
Fund's Custodian, and would create a loss to the Fund if, in the event of a
dealer default, the proceeds from the sale of the collateral were less than
the repurchase price. The Fund may commit up to 15% of its net assets to the
purchase of when-issued U.S. Government securities, whose value may fluctuate
prior to their settlement, thereby creating an unrealized gain or loss to the
Fund. The money market securities in which the Fund may invest may have vari-
able or floating rates of interest ("variable rate obligations") as permitted
by Rule 2a-7. Variable rate obligations have interest rates which are adjusted
either at predesignated periodic intervals or whenever there is a change in
the market rate to which the interest rate of the variable rate obligation is
tied. Some variable rate obligations allow the holder to demand payment of
principal and accrued interest at any time, or at specified intervals.
The Fund follows Rule 2a-7 with respect to the diversification, quality and
maturity of variable rate obligations.

The Fund will comply with Rule 2a-7, including the diversification, quality
and maturity limitations imposed by the Rule. A more detailed description of
Rule 2a-7 is set forth in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information under
"Investment Objectives and Policies." To the extent that the Fund's limita-
tions are more permissive than Rule 2a-7, the Fund will comply with the more
restrictive provisions of the Rule.

OTHER FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

To maintain portfolio diversification and reduce investment risk, the Fund
may not: (1) borrow money except from banks on a temporary basis or via enter-
ing into reverse repurchase agreements in aggregate amounts not exceeding 10%
of its assets and to be used exclusively to facilitate the orderly maturation
and sale of portfolio securities during any periods of abnormally heavy re-
demption requests, if they should occur; such borrowings may not be used to
purchase investments and the Fund will not purchase any investment while any
such borrowings exist; (2) pledge, hypothecate or in any manner transfer, as
security for indebtedness, its assets except to secure such borrowings; or (3)
enter into repurchase agreements if, as a result thereof, more than 10% of its
assets would be subject to repurchase agreements not terminable within seven
days.

count Executive who will deposit it into your brokerage account. Please indi-
cate your account number on the check.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHARE PRICE. Shares are sold and redeemed on a continuous basis without sales
or redemption charges at their net asset value which is expected to be con-
stant at $1.00 per share, although this price is not guaranteed. The net asset
value of the Fund's shares is determined at 12:00 Noon and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern
time) each business day. The net asset value per share is calculated by taking
the sum of the value of the Fund's investments (amortized cost value is used
for this purpose) and any cash or other assets, subtracting liabilities, and
dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. All expenses, including
the fees payable to the Adviser, are accrued daily.

TIMING OF INVESTMENTS AND REDEMPTIONS. The Fund has two transaction times
each business day, 12:00 Noon and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). New investments
represented by Federal funds or bank wire monies received by State Street Bank
at any time during a day prior to 4:00 p.m. are entitled to the full dividend
to be paid to shareholders for that day. Shares do not earn dividends on the
day a redemption
4
<PAGE>

is effected regardless of whether the redemption order is received before or
after 12:00 Noon. However, if you wish to have Federal funds wired the same
day as your telephone redemption request, make sure that your request will be
received by the Fund prior to 12:00 Noon.

During drastic economic or market developments, you might have difficulty in
reaching Alliance Fund Services, Inc. by telephone in which event you should
issue written instructions to Alliance Fund Services, Inc. at the address
shown in this prospectus. Alliance Fund Services, Inc. is not responsible for
the authenticity of telephone requests to purchase or sell shares. Alliance
Fund Services, Inc. will employ reasonable procedures to verify that telephone
requests are genuine and could be liable for losses arising from unauthorized
transactions if it failed to do so. Dealers or agents may charge a commission
for handling telephone requests. The telephone service may be suspended or
terminated at any time without notice.

Redemption proceeds are normally wired or mailed either the same or the next
business day, but in no event later than seven days, unless redemptions have
been suspended or postponed due to the determination of an "emergency" by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or to certain other unusual conditions.

If your Fund shares are not maintained through a financial intermediary, pro-
ceeds from any subsequent redemption by you of Fund shares that were purchased
by check or electronic funds transfer will not be forwarded to you until the
Fund is reasonably assured that your check or electronic funds transfer has
cleared, up to fifteen days following the purchase date. If the redemption re-
quest during such period is in the form of a Fund check, the check will be
marked "insufficient funds" and be returned unpaid to the presenting bank.

MINIMUMS. The Fund has minimums of $1,000 for initial investments, $100 for
subsequent investments and a $500 minimum maintenance balance for each ac-
count. These minimums do not apply to shareholder accounts maintained through
brokerage firms or other financial institutions, as such financial intermedi-
aries may maintain their own minimums.

DAILY DIVIDENDS, OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS, TAXES. All net income of the Fund is
determined each business day at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and is paid immedi-
ately thereafter pro rata to shareholders of record via automatic investment
in additional full and fractional shares in each shareholder's account. As
such additional shares are entitled to dividends on following days, a com-
pounding growth of income occurs.

Net income consists of all accrued interest income on Fund assets less the
Fund's expenses applicable to that dividend period. Realized gains and losses
are reflected in net asset value and are not included in net income.

For Federal income tax purposes, distributions out of interest income earned
by the Fund and net realized short-term capital gains are taxable to you as
ordinary income, and distributions of net realized long-term capital gains, if
any, are taxable as long-term capital gains irrespective of the length of time
you may have held your shares. Distributions by the Fund may also be subject
to certain state and local taxes. Each year shortly after December 31, the
Fund will send you tax information stating the amount and type of all its dis-
tributions for the year just ended.

THE ADVISER. The Fund retains Alliance Capital Management L.P., 1345 Avenue
of the Americas, New York, NY 10105, under an Advisory Agreement to provide
investment advice and, in general, to conduct the Fund's management and in-
vestment program, subject to the general supervision and control of the Trust-
ees of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Fund paid the
Adviser a fee (net of reimbursement) at an annual rate of .46 of 1% of the av-
erage daily value of the Fund's net assets.

The Adviser is a leading international investment manager supervising client
accounts with assets as of

5
<PAGE>

June 30, 1998 of more than $262 billion (of which more than $107 billion rep-
resented the assets of investment companies). The Adviser's clients are pri-
marily major corporate employee benefit funds, public employee retirement sys-
tems, investment companies, foundations and endowment funds. The 58 registered
investment companies managed by the Adviser comprising 123 separate investment
portfolios currently have more than 3.5 million shareholders. As of June 30,
1998, the Adviser was retained as an investment manager for employee benefit
plan assets for 32 of the FORTUNE 100 companies.

Alliance Capital Management Corporation, the sole general partner of, and the
owner of a 1% general partnership interest in, the Adviser, is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United
States ("Equitable"), one of the largest life insurance companies in the
United States, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Equitable Companies
Incorporated, a holding company controlled by AXA-UAP ("AXA"), a French insur-
ance holding company. Certain information concerning the ownership and control
of Equitable by AXA is set forth in the Fund's Statement of Additional Infor-
mation under "Management of the Fund."

Under a Distribution Services Agreement (the "Agreement"), the Fund pays Al-
liance Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributors") at a maximum annual rate
of .25 of 1% of the Fund's aggregate average daily net assets. For the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1998, the Fund paid the Distributor at an annual rate of
.25 of 1% of the average daily value of the Fund's net assets. Substantially
all such monies (together with significant amounts from the Adviser's own re-
sources) are paid by the Distributor to broker-dealers and other financial in-
termediaries for their distribution assistance and to banks and other deposi-
tory institutions for administrative and accounting services provided to the
Fund, with any remaining amounts being used to partially defray other expenses
incurred by the Distributor in distributing Fund shares. The Fund believes
that the administrative services provided by depository institutions are per-
missible activities under present banking laws and regulations and will take
appropriate actions (which should not adversely affect the Fund or its share-
holders) in the future to maintain such legal conformity should any changes
in, or interpretations of, such laws or regulations occur.

The Adviser will reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund's aggregate
operating expenses (including the Adviser's fee and expenses of the Agreement)
exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any fiscal year.

CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND DISTRIBUTOR. State Street Bank and Trust Compa-
ny, P.O. Box 1912, Boston, MA 02105, is the Fund's Custodian.

Alliance Fund Services, Inc. P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, NJ 07096-1520, and Al-
liance Fund Distributors, Inc., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY
10105, are the Fund's Transfer Agent and Distributor, respectively. The Trans-
fer Agent charges a fee for its services.

YEAR 2000. Many computer systems and applications in use today process trans-
actions using two digit date fields for the year of the transaction, rather
than the full four digits. If these systems are not modified or replaced,
transactions occurring after 1999 could be processed as year "1900," which
could result in processing inaccuracies and computer system failures. This is
commonly known as the Year 2000 problem. Should any of the computer systems
employed by the Fund's major service providers fail to process Year 2000 in-
formation properly, that could have a significant negative impact on the
Fund's operations and the services that are provided to the Fund's sharehold-
ers.

<PAGE>

established a structured and coordinated process to deal with the Year 2000
issue. Alliance reports that it has completed its assessment of the Year 2000
issues on its domestic and international computer systems and applications.
Currently, management of Alliance expects that the required modifications for
the majority of its significant systems and applications that will be in use
on January 1, 2000, will be completed and tested by the end of 1998. Full in-
tegration testing of these systems and testing of interfaces with third-party
suppliers will continue through 1999. At this time, management of Alliance be-
lieves that the costs associated with resolving this issue will not have a ma-
terial adverse effect on its operations or on its ability to provide the level
of services it currently provides to the Fund.

The Fund and Alliance have been advised by the Fund's Custodian that it is
also in the process of reviewing its systems with the same goals. As of the
date of this prospectus, the Fund and Alliance have no reason to believe that
the Custodian will be unable to achieve these goals.

FUND ORGANIZATION. The Fund is a series of Alliance Government Reserves (the
"Trust"). The Fund is one of two series of the Trust; shares of the other se-
ries, Alliance Treasury Reserves, are offered by a separate prospectus. The
Trust is a diversified, open-end investment company registered under the Act.
The Trust was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust in October 1984,
having previously been a Maryland corporation since its formation in December
1978. The Trust's activities are supervised by its Trustees. Normally, each
share of each series is entitled to one vote, and vote as a single series on
matters that affect both series in substantially the same manner. Massachu-
setts law does not require annual meetings of shareholders and it is antici-
pated that shareholder meetings will be held only when required by Federal
law. Shareholders have available certain procedures for the removal of Trust-
ees.

REPORTS. You receive semi-annual and annual reports of the Fund as well as a
monthly summary of your account. You can arrange for a copy of each of your
account statements to be sent to other parties.

From time to time the Fund advertises its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. To calculate the "yield," the amount of dividends
paid on a share during a specified seven-day period is assumed to be paid each
week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. To
calculate "effective yield," which will be higher than the "yield" because of
compounding, the dividends paid are assumed to be reinvested. Further
information about the Fund's performance is contained in the annual report to
shareholders and Statement of Additional Information which may be obtained
without charge by contacting Alliance Fund Services, Inc. at the address shown

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Fund's investment objectives are--in the following order of priority--
safety of principal, excellent liquidity, and maximum current income to the
extent consistent with the first two objectives. As a matter of fundamental
policy, the Fund pursues its objectives by maintaining a portfolio of high
quality money market securities of the types described in the succeeding para-
graph, all of which at the time of investment have remaining maturities of 397
days or less. The Fund may not change its investment objectives or the other
fundamental investment policies described in a separate section below without
shareholder approval. The Fund may, without such approval, create additional
classes of shares in order to establish portfolios which may have different
investment objectives. There can be no assurance, as is true with all invest-
ment companies, that the Fund's objectives will be achieved.

MONEY MARKET SECURITIES

The securities in which the Fund invests are: (1) issues of the U.S. Trea-
sury, such as bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes and bonds; and (2)
repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully as that term is defined in
Rule 2a-7 ("Rule 2a-7") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Act"). These agreements are entered into with "primary dealers" (as des-
ignated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government securities
or State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund's Custodian. For each repur-
chase agreement, the Fund requires continual maintenance of the market value
of the underlying collateral in amounts equal to, or in excess of, the agree-
ment amount. In the event of a dealer default, the Fund might suffer a loss to
the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the collateral were less than
the repurchase price. The Fund may commit up to 15% of its net assets to the
purchase of when-issued U.S. Treasury securities. Delivery and payment for
when-issued securities takes place after the transaction date. The payment
amount and the interest rate that will be received on the securities are fixed
on the transaction date. The value of such securities may fluctuate prior to
their settlement, thereby creating an unrealized gain or loss to the Fund. The
money market securities in which the Fund may invest may have variable or
floating rates of interest ("variable rate obligations") as permitted by Rule
2a-7. Variable rate obligations have interest rates which are adjusted either
at predesignated periodic intervals or whenever there is a change in the mar-
ket rate to which the interest rate of the variable rate obligation is tied.
Some variable rate obligations allow the holder to demand payment of principal
and accrued interest at any time, or at specified intervals. The Fund follows
Rule 2a-7 with respect to the diversification, quality and maturity of vari-
able rate obligations.

OTHER FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

To maintain portfolio diversification and reduce investment risk, the Fund
may not: (1) borrow money except from banks on a temporary basis or via enter-
ing into reverse repurchase agreements in aggregate amounts not exceeding 10%
of its assets and to be used exclusively to facilitate the orderly maturation
and sale of portfolio securities during any periods of abnormally heavy re-
demption requests, if they should occur; such borrowings may not be used to
purchase investments and the Fund will not purchase any investment while any
such borrowings exist; (2) pledge, hypothecate or in any manner transfer, as
security for indebtedness, its assets except to secure such borrowings; or (3)
enter into repurchase agreements, if as a result thereof, more than 10% of its
assets would be subject to repurchase agreements not terminable within seven
days.

THE ADVISER. The Fund retains Alliance Capital Management L.P., 1345 Avenue
of the Americas, New York, NY 10105, under an Advisory Agreement to provide
investment advice and, in general, to conduct the Fund's management and in-
vestment program, subject to the general supervision and control of the Trust-
ees of the Fund. For the period ended June 30, 1998, the Fund paid the Adviser
a fee (net of reimbursement) at an annual rate of .49 of 1% of the average
daily value of the Fund's net assets.

The Adviser is a leading international investment manager supervising client
accounts with assets as of June 30, 1998 of more than $262 billion (of

5
<PAGE>

which more than $107 billion represented the assets of investment companies).
The Adviser's clients are primarily major corporate employee benefit funds,
public employee retirement systems, investment companies, foundations and en-
dowment funds. The 58 registered investment companies managed by the Adviser
comprising 123 separate investment portfolios currently have more than 3.5
million shareholders. As of June 30, 1998, the Adviser was retained as an in-
vestment manager for employee benefit plan assets for 32 of the FORTUNE 100
companies.

Under a Distribution Services Agreement (the "Agreement"), the Fund pays Al-
liance Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") at a maximum annual rate of
.25 of 1% of the Fund's aggregate average daily net assets. For the period
ended June 30, 1998, the Fund paid the Distributor at an annual rate of .20 of
1% of the average daily value of the Fund's net assets, net of reimbursement.
Substantially all such monies (together with significant amounts from the Ad-
viser's own resources) are paid by the Distributor to broker-dealers and other
financial intermediaries for their distribution assistance and to banks and
other depository institutions for administrative services provided to the
Fund, with any remaining amounts being used to partially defray other expenses
incurred by the Distributor in distributing Fund shares. The Fund believes
that the administrative services provided by depository institutions are per-
missible activities under present banking laws and regulations and will take
appropriate actions (which should not adversely affect the Fund or its share-
holders) in the future to maintain such legal conformity should any changes
in, or interpretations of, such laws or regulations occur.

CUSTODIAN, TRANSFER AGENT AND DISTRIBUTOR. State Street Bank and Trust Compa-
ny, P.O. Box 1912, Boston, MA 02105, is the Fund's Custodian. Alliance Fund
Services, Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, NJ 07096-1520, and Alliance Fund Dis-
tributors, Inc., 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105, are the
Fund's Transfer Agent and Distributor, respectively. The Transfer Agent
charges a fee for its services.

With respect to the Year 2000, the Fund has been advised that the Adviser,
Distributor and Transfer Agent (collectively, "Alliance") began to address the
Year 2000 issue several years ago in connection with the replacement or up-
grading of certain computer systems and applications. During 1997, Alliance
began a formal Year 2000 initiative, which established a structured and coor-
dinated process to deal with the Year 2000 issue. Alliance reports that it has
completed its assessment of the Year 2000 issues on its domestic and interna-
tional computer systems and applications. Currently, management of Alliance
expects that the required modifications for the major-

6
<PAGE>

ity of its significant systems and applications that will be in use on January
1, 2000, will be completed and tested by the end of 1998. Full integration
testing of these systems and testing of interfaces with third-party suppliers
will continue through 1999. At this time, management of Alliance believes that
the costs associated with resolving this issue will not have a material ad-
verse effect on its operations or on its ability to provide the level of serv-
ices it currently provides to the Fund.

FUND ORGANIZATION. The Fund is a series of Alliance Government Reserves (the
"Trust"). The Fund is one of two series of the Trust; shares of the other se-
ries, also named Alliance Government Reserves, are offered by a separate pro-
spectus. The Trust is a diversified, open-end investment company registered
under the Act. The Trust was reorganized in October 1984 as a Massachusetts
business trust, having previously been a Maryland corporation since its forma-
tion in December 1978. The Trust's activities are supervised by its Trustees.
Normally, each share of each series is entitled to one vote, and vote as a
single series on matters that affect both series in substantially the same
manner. Massachusetts law does not require annual meetings of shareholders and
it is anticipated that shareholder meetings will be held only when required by
Federal law. Shareholders have available certain procedures for the removal of
Trustees.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
_______________________________________________________________

The Fund is a diversified, open-end investment company
whose objectives are - in the following order of priority -
safety of principal, excellent liquidity, and maximum current
income to the extent consistent with the first two objectives.
There can be no assurance, as is true with all investment
companies, that the Fund's objectives will be achieved. The Fund
pursues its objectives by maintaining a portfolio of the
following investments diversified by maturities not exceeding one
year or less (which maturities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "Act"), may extend
to 397 days or such greater length of time as may be permitted
from time to time pursuant to Rule 2a-7):

1. Marketable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the
United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
These include issues of the United States Treasury, such as
bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes and bonds, and issues
of agencies and instrumentalities established under the authority
of an act of Congress. The latter issues include, but are not
limited to, obligations of the Bank for Cooperatives, Federal
Financing Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Intermediate
Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Federal National Mortgage
Association and Tennessee Valley Authority. Some of these
securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury, others are supported by the right of the issuer to
borrow from the Treasury, and still others are supported only by
the credit of the agency or instrumentality.

<PAGE>

amount. While the maturities of the underlying collateral may
exceed 397 days, the term of the repurchase agreement is always
less than 397 days. In the event that a counterparty defaulted
on its repurchase obligation, the Fund might suffer a loss to the
extent that the proceeds from the sale of the collateral were
less than the repurchase price. If the counterparty became
bankrupt, the Fund might be delayed in selling the collateral.
Repurchase agreements often are for short periods such as one day
or a week, but may be longer. Repurchase agreements not
terminable within seven days will be limited to no more than 10%
of the Fund's assets.1 Pursuant to Rule 2a-7, a repurchase
agreement is deemed to be an acquisition of the underlying
securities provided that the obligation of the seller to
repurchase the securities from the money market fund is
collateralized fully (as defined in such Rule). Accordingly, the
counterparty of a fully collateralized repurchase agreement is
deemed to be the issuer of the underlying securities.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. While the Fund has no
present plans to do so, it may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements, which have the characteristics of borrowing and which
involve the sale of securities held by the Fund with an agreement
to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon price, date and
interest payment.

When-Issued Securities. Certain new issues that the
Fund is permitted to purchase are available on a "when-issued"
basis. When so offered, the price, which is generally expressed
in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase
is made, but delivery and payment for the when-issued securities
take place at a later date. Normally, the settlement date occurs
from within ten days to one month after the purchase of the
issue. During the period between purchase and settlement, no
payment is made by the Fund to the issuer and, thus, no interest
accrues to the Fund from the transaction. When-issued securities
may be sold prior to the settlement date, but the Fund makes
when-issued commitments only with the intention of actually
acquiring the securities. To facilitate such acquisitions, the
Fund's Custodian will maintain, in a separate account of the
Fund, U.S. Government securities or other liquid high grade debt
securities having value equal to or greater than commitments held
by the Fund. Similarly, a separate account will be maintained to
meet obligations in respect of reverse repurchase agreements. On
delivery dates for such transactions, the Fund will meet its
obligations from maturities or sales of the securities held in
the separate account and/or from the available cash flow. If the
_________________________

1As used throughout the Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, the term assets shall refer to the
Funds total assets.

<PAGE>

Fund, however, chooses to dispose of the right to acquire a when-
issued security prior to its acquisition, it can incur a gain or
loss. At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a
security on a when-issued basis, it records the transaction and
reflects the value of the security in determining its net asset
value. No when-issued commitments will be made if, as a result,
more than 15% of the Fund's net assets would be committed.

Floating and Variable Rate Obligations. The Fund may
purchase floating and variable rate obligations, including
floating and variable rate demand notes and bonds. The Fund may
invest in variable and floating rate obligations whose interest
rates are adjusted either at predesignated periodic intervals or
whenever there is a change in the market rate to which the
security's interest rate is tied. The Fund may also purchase
floating and variable rate demand notes and bonds, which are
obligations ordinarily having stated maturities in excess of
13 months, but which permit the holder to demand payment of
principal and accrued interest at any time, or at specified
intervals not exceeding 397 days, in each case upon not more than
30 days' notice.

While there are many kinds of short-term securities used
by money market investors, the Fund, in keeping with its primary
investment objective of safety of principal, generally restricts
its portfolio to the types of investments listed above. Net
income to shareholders is aided both by the Fund's ability to
make investments in large denominations and by its efficiencies
of scale. Also, the Fund may seek to improve its income by
selling certain portfolio securities prior to maturity in order
to take advantage of yield disparities that occur in money
markets. The market value of the Fund's investments tends to
decrease during periods of rising interest rates and to increase
during intervals of falling rates.

Except as otherwise provided, the Fund's investment policies
are not designated "fundamental policies" within the meaning of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") and
may, therefore, be changed by the Trustees of the Trust without a
shareholder vote. However, the Fund will not change its
investment policies without contemporaneous written notice to
shareholders.

Rule 2a-7 under the Act. The Fund will comply with Rule
2a-7 under the Act, as amended from time to time, including the
diversification, quality and maturity limitations imposed by the
Rule. To the extent that the Fund's limitations are more
permissive than Rule 2a-7, the Fund will comply with the more
restrictive provisions of the Rule.

<PAGE>

Currently, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, the Fund may invest
only in U.S. dollar-denominated "Eligible Securities" (as that
term is defined in the Rule) that have been determined by
Alliance Capital Management L.P. (the "Adviser") to present
minimal credit risks pursuant to procedures approved by the
Trustees. Generally, an Eligible Security is a security that
(i) has a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and (ii) is
rated, or is issued by an issuer with short-term debt outstanding
that is rated, in one of the two highest rating categories by two
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs")
or, if only one NRSRO has issued a rating, by that NRSRO ("the
requisite NRSROs"). Unrated securities may also be Eligible
Securities if the Adviser determines that they are of comparable
quality to a rated Eligible Security pursuant to guidelines
approved by the Trustees. A description of the ratings of some
NRSROs appears in the Appendix attached hereto. Securities in
which the Fund invest may be subject to liquidity or credit
enhancements. These securities are generally considered to be
Eligible Securities if the enhancement or the issuer of the
enhancement has received the appropriate rating from the
requisite NRSROs.

Under Rule 2a-7 the Fund may not invest more than five
percent of its assets in the first tier securities of any one
issuer other than the United States Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities. A first tier security is an Eligible Security
that has received a short-term rating from the requisite NRSROs
in the highest short-term rating category for debt obligations or
is an unrated security deemed to be of comparable quality.
Government securities are considered to be first tier securities.
In addition, the Fund may not invest in a security that has
received, or is deemed comparable in quality to a security that
has received, the second highest rating by the requisite number
of NRSROs (a "second tier security") if immediately after the
acquisition thereof the Fund would have invested more than
(A) the greater of one percent of its total assets or one million
dollars in securities issued by that issuer which are second tier
securities, or (B) five percent of its total assets in second
tier securities.

_______________________________________________________________

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
_______________________________________________________________

<PAGE>

at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding shares are
represented or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares,
whichever is less. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at
the time of an investment, a later increase or decrease in
percentage resulting from a change in value of portfolio
securities or in amount of the Fund's assets will not constitute
a violation of that restriction.

The Fund:

1. May not purchase any security which has a maturity
date more than one year2 from the date of the Fund's purchase;

2. May not purchase securities other than marketable
obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States Government,
its agencies or instrumentalities, or repurchase agreements
pertaining thereto;

3. May not enter into repurchase agreements if, as a
result thereof, more than 10% of the Fund's assets would be
subject to repurchase agreements not terminable within seven days
(which may be considered to be illiquid) or with any one seller3
if, as a result thereof, more than 5% of the Fund's assets would
be invested in repurchase agreements purchased from such seller;
and may not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements if, as a
result thereof, the Fund's obligations with respect to reverse
repurchase agreements would exceed 10% of the Fund's assets;

4. May not borrow money except from banks on a
temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase
agreements in aggregate amounts not to exceed 10% of the Fund's
assets and to be used exclusively to facilitate the orderly
maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any periods of
abnormally heavy redemption requests, if they should occur; such
borrowings may not be used to purchase investments and the Fund
will not purchase any investment while any such borrowings exist;

5. May not pledge, hypothecate or in any manner
transfer, as security for indebtedness, any securities owned or
held by the Fund except as may be necessary in connection with
any borrowing mentioned above, including reverse repurchase
agreements, and in an aggregate amount not to exceed 10% of the
Fund's assets;
_________________________

2Which maturity, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, may extend to 397
days, or such greater length of time as may be permitted
from time to time pursuant to Rule 2a-7.
3Pursuant to Rule 2a-7, the seller of a fully collateralized
repurchase agreement is deemed to be the issuer of the
underlying securities.

<PAGE>

6. May not make loans, provided that the Fund may
purchase securities of the type referred to in paragraph 2 above
and enter into repurchase agreements with respect thereto; or

7. May not act as an underwriter of securities.

The Adviser

The Adviser, a Delaware limited partnership with
principal offices at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New
York 10105, has been retained under an investment advisory
agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") to provide investment advice
and, in general, to conduct the management and investment program
of the Fund under the supervision and control of the Fund's
Trustees.

The Adviser is a leading international investment
manager supervising client accounts with assets as of June 30,
1998 of more than $262 billion (of which more than $107 billion
represented the assets of investment companies). The Adviser's
clients are primarily major corporate employee benefit funds,
public employee retirement systems, investment companies,
foundations and endowment funds. As of June 30, 1998, the
Adviser was retained as an investment manager for employee
benefit plan assets for 32 of the FORTUNE 100 companies. As of
July 31, 1998, the Adviser and its subsidiaries employed
approximately 2,000 employees who operate out of domestic offices
and the offices of subsidiaries in Bahrain, Bangalore, Chennai,,
Istanbul, London, Madrid, Mumbai, Paris, Singapore, Tokyo and
Toronto and affiliate offices located in Vienna, Warsaw, Hong
Kong, Sao Paulo and Moscow. The 58 registered investment
companies comprising more than 123 separate investment portfolios
managed by the Adviser currently have more than 3.5 million
shareholders.

<PAGE>

Alliance Capital Management Corporation, the sole
general partner of, and the owner of a 1% general partnership
interest in, the Adviser, is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States
("Equitable"), one of the largest life insurance companies in the
United States and a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Equitable
Companies Incorporated ("ECI"). ECI is a holding company
controlled by AXA-UAP ("AXA"), a French insurance holding company
which at March 31, 1998, beneficially owned approximately 59% of
the outstanding voting shares of ECI. As of June 30, 1998, ACMC,
Inc. and Equitable Capital Management Corporation, each a wholly-
owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Equitable, together with
Equitable, owned in the aggregate approximately 57% of the issued
and outstanding units representing assignments of beneficial
ownership of limited partnership interests in the Adviser.

AXA is a holding company for an international group of
insurance and related financial services companies. AXA's
insurance operations include activities in life insurance,
property and casualty insurance and reinsurance. The insurance
operations are diverse geographically, with activities
principally in Western Europe, North America and the Asia/Pacific
area. AXA is also engaged in asset management, investment
banking, securities trading, brokerage, real estate and other
financial services activities principally in the United States,
as well as in Western Europe and the Asia/Pacific area.

Based on information provided by AXA, as of March 31,
1998 more than 30% of the voting power of AXA was controlled
directly and indirectly by FINAXA, a French holding company. As
of March 31, 1998 more than 74% of the voting power of FINAXA was
controlled directly and indirectly by four French mutual
insurance companies (the "Mutuelles AXA"), one of which, AXA
Assurances I.A.R.D. Mutuelle, itself controlled directly and
indirectly more than 42% of the voting power of FINAXA. Acting
as a group, the Mutuelles AXA control AXA and FINAXA.

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides
investment advisory services and order placement facilities for
the Fund and pays all compensation of Trustees of the Fund who
are affiliated persons of the Adviser. The Adviser or its
affiliates also furnish the Fund without charge with management
supervision and assistance and office facilities. Under the
Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee at an annual
rate of .50 of 1% of up to $1.25 billion of the average daily
value of the Fund's net assets, .49 of 1% of the next $.25
billion of such assets, .48 of 1% of the next $.25 billion of
such assets, .47 of 1% of the next $.25 billion of such assets,
.46 of 1% of the next $1 billion of such assets and .45 of 1% of
the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $3 billion.
The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. The Adviser will

<PAGE>

reimburse the Fund to the extent that its net expenses (excluding
taxes, brokerage, interest and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1%
of its average daily net assets for any fiscal year. For the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998 the Adviser
received from the Fund, advisory fees (net of reimbursement for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998) of $14,176,991, $17,412,020
and $19,694,085, respectively. In accordance with the
Distribution Services Agreement described below, the Fund may pay
a portion of advertising and promotional expenses in connection
with the sale of shares of the Fund. The Fund also pays for
printing of prospectuses and other reports to shareholders and
all expenses and fees related to registration and filing with the
Commission and with state regulatory authorities. The Fund pays
all other expenses incurred in its operations, including the
Adviser's management fees; custody, transfer and dividend
disbursing expenses; legal and auditing costs; clerical,
administrative accounting, and other office costs; fees and
expenses of Trustees who are not affiliated with the Adviser;
costs of maintenance of the Trust's existence; and interest
charges, taxes, brokerage fees, and commissions. As to the
obtaining of clerical and accounting services not required to be
provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement,
the Fund may employ its own personnel. For such services, it
also may utilize personnel employed by the Adviser; if so done,
the services are provided to the Fund at cost and the payments
therefor must be specifically approved in advance by the
Trustees. The Fund paid to the Adviser a total of $163,000,
$164,000 and $167,000, respectively, for such services for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998.

The Fund has made arrangements with certain broker-
dealers, including Pershing, Division of Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation ("Pershing"), an affiliate of the
Adviser, whose customers are Fund shareholders pursuant to which
payments are made to such broker-dealers performing recordkeeping
and shareholder servicing functions. Such functions may include
opening new shareholder accounts, processing purchase and
redemption transactions, and responding to inquiries regarding
the Fund's current yield and the status of shareholder accounts.
The Fund pays fully disclosed and omnibus broker dealers
(including Pershing) for such services. The fund may also pay
for the electronic communications equipment maintained at the
broker-dealers' offices that permits access to the Fund's
computer files and, in addition, reimburses fully-disclosed
broker-dealers at cost for personnel expenses involved in
providing such services. All such payments must be approved or
ratified by the Trustees. For the fiscal years ended June 30,
1996, 1997 and 1998, the Fund reimbursed such broker-dealers a
total of $1,611,378, $2,146,522 and $5,301,680, respectively.

<PAGE>

The Advisory Agreement became effective on July 22,
1992. Continuance of the Advisory Agreement until June 30, 1999
was approved by the vote, cast in person by all the Trustees of
the Trust who neither were interested persons of the Trust nor
had any direct or indirect financial interest in the Agreement or
any related agreement, at a meeting called for that purpose on
June 9, 1998.

The Advisory Agreement will remain in effect thereafter
from year to year provided that such continuance is specifically
approved annually by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Fund or by the Fund's Trustees, including in either
case approval by a majority of the Trustees who are not parties
to the Advisory Agreement or interested persons as defined in the
Act. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated without penalty on
60 days' written notice at the option of either party or by a
vote of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; it will
automatically terminate in the event of assignment. The Adviser
is not liable for any action or inaction in regard to its
obligations under the Advisory Agreement as long as it does not
exhibit willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of its obligations.

Distribution Services Agreement

Rule 12b-1 under the Act permits an investment company
to directly or indirectly pay expenses associated with the
distribution of its shares in accordance with a duly adopted and
approved plan. The Fund has entered into a Distribution Services
Agreement (the "Agreement") which includes a plan adopted
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan") with AFD (the "Distributor"),
which applies to both series of the Trust. Pursuant to the Plan,
the Fund makes payments each month to AFD in an amount that will
not exceed, on an annualized basis, .25 of 1% of the Fund's
aggregate average daily net assets. In addition, under the
Agreement the Distributor makes payments for distribution
assistance and for administrative, accounting and other services
from its own resources which may include the management fee paid
by the Fund.

Payments under the Agreement are used in their entirety
for (i) payments to broker-dealers and other financial
intermediaries, including the Distributor and Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation and its Pershing Division,
affiliates of the Adviser, for distribution assistance and to
banks and other depository institutions for administrative and
accounting services, and (ii) otherwise promoting the sale of
shares of the Fund such as by paying for the preparation,
printing and distribution of prospectuses and other promotional
materials sent to existing and prospective shareholders and by
directly or indirectly purchasing radio, television, newspaper

<PAGE>

and other advertising. In approving the Agreement the Trustees
determined that there was a reasonable likelihood that the
Agreement would benefit the Fund and its shareholders. During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Fund made payments to
the Distributor for expenditures, under the Agreement in amounts
aggregating $10,707,231 which constituted .25 of 1% of the Fund's
average daily net assets during the period, and the Adviser made
payments from its own resources as described above aggregating
$12,819,721. Of the $23,526,952 paid by the Adviser and the Fund
under the Agreement, $396,000 was paid for advertising, printing,
and mailing of prospectuses to persons other than current
shareholders; and $23,130,952 was paid to broker-dealers and
other financial intermediaries for distribution assistance.

The administrative and accounting services provided by
banks and other depository institutions may include, but are not
limited to, establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts,
sub-accounting, processing of purchase and redemption orders,
sending confirmations of transactions, forwarding financial
reports and other communications to shareholders and responding
to shareholder inquiries regarding the Fund. As interpreted by
courts and administrative agencies, certain laws and regulations
limit the ability of a bank or other depository institution to
become an underwriter or distributor of securities. However, in
the opinion of the Fund's management based on the advice of
counsel, these laws and regulations do not prohibit such
depository institutions from providing other services for
investment companies such as the administrative and accounting
services described above. The Trustees will consider appropriate
modifications to the Fund's operations, including discontinuance
of payments under the Agreement to banks and other depository
institutions, in the event of any future change in such laws or
regulations which may affect the ability of such institutions to
provide the above-mentioned services.

The Treasurer of the Fund reports the amounts expended
under the Agreement and the purposes for which such expenditures
were made to the Trustees on a quarterly basis. Also, the
Agreement provides that the selection and nomination of
disinterested Trustees (as defined in the Act) are committed to
the discretion of the disinterested Trustees then in office.

The Agreement became effective on July 22, 1992.
Continuance of the Agreement until June 30, 1999 was approved by
the vote, cast in person by all the Trustees of the Fund who
neither were interested persons of the Fund nor had any direct or
indirect financial interest in the Agreement or any related
agreement, at a meeting called for that purpose on
June 9, 1998. The Agreement may be continued annually thereafter
if approved by a majority vote of the Trustees who neither are
interested persons of the Fund nor have any direct or indirect

<PAGE>

financial interest in the Agreement or in any related agreement,
cast in person at a meeting called for that purpose.

All material amendments to the Agreement must be
approved by a vote of the Trustees, including a majority of the
disinterested Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for
that purpose, and the Agreement may not be amended in order to
increase materially the costs which the Fund may bear pursuant to
the Agreement without the approval of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Fund. The Agreement may also be
terminated at any time by a majority vote of the disinterested
Trustees, or by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund
or by the Distributor. Any agreement with a qualifying broker-
dealer or other financial intermediary may be terminated without
penalty on not more than sixty days' written notice by a vote of
the majority of non-party Trustees, by a vote of a majority of
the outstanding shares of the Fund, or by the Distributor and
will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

The Agreement is in compliance with rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD")
which became effective July 7, 1993 and which limit the annual
asset-based sales charges and service fees that a mutual fund may
impose to .75% and .25%, respectively, of average annual net
assets.

_______________________________________________________________

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
_______________________________________________________________

Generally, shares of the Fund are sold and redeemed on a
continuous basis without sales or redemption charges at their net
asset value which is expected to be constant at $1.00 per share,
although this price is not guaranteed.

2) Mail the completed Application Form along with your
check or negotiable bank draft (minimum $1,000),
payable to "Alliance Government Reserves," to
Alliance Fund Services, Inc. as in A(3) above.

Subsequent Investments

A. Investments by Wire (to obtain immediate credit)

Instruct your bank to wire Federal funds (minimum $100)
to State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street Bank") as
in A(2) above.

B. Investments by Check

Mail your check or negotiable bank draft (minimum $100),
payable to "Alliance Government Reserves," to Alliance Fund
Services, Inc. as in A(3) above.

Include with the check or draft the "next investment"
stub from one of your previous monthly or interim account
statements. For added identification, place your Fund account
number on the check or draft.

Investments Made by Check

Money transmitted by a check drawn on a member of the
Federal Reserve System is converted to Federal funds in one
business day following receipt and, thus, is then invested in the

<PAGE>

Fund. Checks drawn on banks which are not members of the Federal
Reserve System may take longer to be converted and invested. All
payments must be in United States dollars.

PROCEEDS FROM ANY SUBSEQUENT REDEMPTION BY YOU OF FUND
SHARES THAT WERE PURCHASED BY CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER
WILL NOT BE FORWARDED TO YOU UNTIL THE FUND IS REASONABLY ASSURED
THAT YOUR CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER HAS CLEARED, UP TO
FIFTEEN DAYS FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE DATE. If the redemption
request during such period is in the form of a Fund check, the
check will be marked "insufficient funds" and be returned unpaid
to the presenting bank.

Redemptions

A. By Telephone

You may withdraw any amount from your account on any
Fund business day (i.e., any weekday exclusive of days on which
the New York Stock Exchange or State Street Bank is closed)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) via orders given
to AFS by telephone toll-free (800) 824-1916. Such redemption
orders must include your account name as registered with the Fund
and the account number.

If your telephone redemption order is received by AFS
prior to 12:00 Noon (Eastern time), we will send the proceeds in
Federal funds by wire to your designated bank account that day.
The minimum amount for a wire is $1,000. If your telephone
redemption order is received by AFS after 12:00 Noon and before
4:00 p.m., we will wire the proceeds the next business day. You
also may request that proceeds be sent by check to your
designated bank. Redemptions are made without any charge to
you.

During periods of drastic economic or market
developments, such as the market break of October 1987, it is
possible that shareholders would have difficulty in reaching AFS
by telephone (although no such difficulty was apparent at any
time in connection with the 1987 market break). If a shareholder
were to experience such difficulty, the shareholder should issue
written instructions to AFS at the address shown on the cover of
this Statement of Additional Information. The Fund reserves the
right to suspend or terminate its telephone redemption service at
any time without notice. Neither the Fund nor the Adviser, or
AFS will be responsible for the authenticity of telephone
requests for redemptions that the Fund reasonably believes to be
genuine. The Fund will employ reasonable procedures in order to
verify that telephone requests for redemptions are genuine,
including among others, recording such telephone instructions and
causing written confirmations of the resulting transactions to be

<PAGE>

sent to shareholders. If the Fund did not employ such
procedures, it could be liable for losses arising from
unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions. Selected
dealers or agents may charge a commission for handling telephone
requests for redemptions.

B. By Checkwriting

With this service, you may write checks made payable to
any payee. Checks cannot be written for more than the principal
balance (not including any accrued dividends) in your account.
First, you must fill out the Signature Card which is with the
Application Form. If you wish to establish this checkwriting
service subsequent to the opening of your Fund account, contact
the Fund by telephone or mail. There is no separate charge for
the checkwriting service, except that State Street Bank may
impose charges for checks which are returned unpaid because of
insufficient funds or for checks upon which you have placed a
stop order. There is currently a $7.50 charge for check
reorders.

The checkwriting service enables you to receive the daily
dividends declared on the shares to be redeemed until the day
that your check is presented to State Street Bank for payment.

C. By Mail

You may withdraw any amount from your account at any
time by mail. Written orders for withdrawal, accompanied by duly
endorsed certificates, if issued, should be mailed to Alliance
Fund Services, Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, New Jersey
07096-1520. Such orders must include the account name as
registered with the Fund and the account number. All written
orders for redemption, and accompanying certificates, if any,
must be signed by all owners of the account with the signatures
guaranteed by an institution which is an "eligible guarantor" as
defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.

_______________________________________________________________

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
_______________________________________________________________

<PAGE>

institution after its deadline, the institution may not effect
the order with the Fund until the next business day.
Accordingly, an investor should familiarize himself or herself
with the deadlines set by his or her institution. (For example,
the Distributor accepts purchase orders from its customers up to
2:15 p.m. Eastern time for issuance at the 4:00 p.m. transaction
time and price.) A brokerage firm acting on behalf of a customer
in connection with transactions in Fund shares is subject to the
same legal obligations imposed on it generally in connection with
transactions in securities for a customer, including the
obligation to act promptly and accurately.

Orders for the purchase of Fund shares become effective
at the next transaction time after Federal funds or bank wire
monies become available to State Street Bank for a shareholder's
investment. Federal funds are a bank's deposits in a Federal
Reserve Bank. These funds can be transferred by Federal Reserve
wire from the account of one member bank to that of another
member bank on the same day and are considered to be immediately
available funds; similar immediate availability is accorded
monies received at State Street Bank by bank wire. Money
transmitted by a check drawn on a member of the Federal Reserve
System is converted to Federal funds in one business day
following receipt. Checks drawn on banks which are not members
of the Federal Reserve System may take longer. All payments
(including checks from individual investors) must be in United
States dollars.

All shares purchased are confirmed to each shareholder
and are credited to his or her account at the net asset value.
To avoid unnecessary expense to the Fund and to facilitate the
immediate redemption of shares, share certificates, for which no
charge is made, are not issued except upon the written request of
a shareholder. Certificates are not issued for fractional
shares. Shares for which certificates have been issued are not
eligible for any of the optional methods of withdrawal; namely,
the telephone, telegraph, checkwriting or periodic redemption
procedures. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase
order.

Arrangements for Telephone Redemptions. If you wish to
use the telephone redemption procedure, indicate this on your
Application Form and designate a bank and account number to
receive the proceeds of your withdrawals. If you decide later
that you wish to use this procedure, or to change instructions
already given, send a written notice to Alliance Fund Services,
Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, New Jersey 07096-1520, with your
signature guaranteed by an institution which is an eligible
guarantor. For joint accounts, all owners must sign and have
their signatures guaranteed.

<PAGE>

Automatic Investment Program. A shareholder may
purchase shares of the Fund through an automatic investment
program through a bank that is a member of the National Automated
Clearing House Association. Purchases can be made on a Fund
business day each month designated by the shareholder.
Shareholders wishing to establish an automatic investment program
should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at (800) 221-5672.

Retirement Plans. The Fund's objectives of safety of
principal, excellent liquidity and maximum current income to the
extent consistent with the first two objectives may make it a
suitable investment vehicle for part or all of the assets held in
various tax-deferred retirement plans. The Fund has available
forms of individual retirement account (IRA), simplified employee
pension plans (SEP), 403(b)(7) plans and employer-sponsored
retirement plans (Keogh or HR10 Plan). Certain services
described in this prospectus may not be available to retirement
accounts and plans. Persons desiring information concerning
these plans should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at
(800) 221-5672.

The Alliance Plans Division of Frontier Trust Company, a
subsidiary of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United
States, is the custodian under these plans. The custodian
charges a nominal account establishment fee and a nominal annual
maintenance fee. A portion of such fees is remitted to AFS to
compensate that organization for services rendered to retirement
plan accounts maintained with the Fund.

Periodic Distribution Plans. Without affecting your
right to use any of the methods of redemption described above, by
checking the appropriate boxes on the Application Form, you may
elect to participate additionally in the following plans without
any separate charge. Under the Income Distribution Plan you
receive monthly payments of all the income earned in your Fund
account, with payments forwarded by check or electronically via
the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") network shortly after the
close of the month. Under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan, you
may request payments by check or electronically via the ACH
network in any specified amount of $50 or more each month or in
any intermittent pattern of months. If desired, you can order,
via a signature-guaranteed letter to the Fund, such periodic
payments to be sent to another person. Shareholders wishing
either of the above plans electronically through the ACH network
should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at (800) 221-5672.

<PAGE>

Otherwise, the account should be re-opened pursuant to procedures
described above or through instructions given to a financial
intermediary.

A "business day," during which purchases and redemptions
of Fund shares can become effective and the transmittal of
redemption proceeds can occur, is considered for Fund purposes as
any weekday exclusive of New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day, President's Day (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day
(observed), Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day; if one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or
Sunday, purchases and redemptions will likewise not be processed
on the preceding Friday or the following Monday, respectively.
On any such day that is an official bank holiday in
Massachusetts, neither purchases nor wired redemptions can become
effective because Federal funds cannot be received or sent by
State Street Bank. On such days, therefore, the Fund can only
accept redemption orders for which shareholders desire remittance
by check. The right of redemption may be suspended or the date
of a redemption payment postponed for any period during which the
New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings), when trading on the New York Stock
Exchange is restricted, or an emergency (as determined by the
Commission) exists, or the Commission has ordered such a
suspension for the protection of shareholders. The value of a
shareholder's investment at the time of redemption may be more or
less than his or her cost, depending on the market value of the
securities held by the Fund at such time and the income
earned.
_______________________________________________________________

DAILY DIVIDENDS--DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
_______________________________________________________________

All net income of the Fund is determined after the close
of each business day, currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (and at
such other times as the Trustees may determine) and is paid
immediately thereafter pro rata to shareholders of record via
automatic investment in additional full and fractional shares in
each shareholder's account at the rate of one share for each
dollar distributed. As such additional shares are entitled to
dividends on following days, a compounding growth of income
occurs.

Net income consists of all accrued interest income on
Fund portfolio assets less the Fund's expenses applicable to that
dividend period. Realized gains and losses are reflected in net
asset value and are not included in net income. Net asset value
per share is expected to remain constant at $1.00 since all net
income is declared as a dividend each time net income is
determined.

The valuation of the Fund's portfolio securities is
based upon their amortized cost which does not take into account
unrealized securities gains or losses as measured by market
valuations. The amortized cost method involves valuing an
instrument at its cost and thereafter applying a constant
amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless
of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value
of the instrument. During periods of declining interest rates,
the daily yield on shares of the Fund may be higher than that of
a fund with identical investments utilizing a method of valuation
based upon market prices for its portfolio instruments; the
converse would apply in a period of rising interest rates.

The Fund utilizes the amortized cost method of valuation
of portfolio securities in accordance with the provisions of Rule
2a-7 under the Act. Pursuant to such rule, the Fund maintains a
dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less and
invests only in securities of high quality. The Fund also
purchases instruments which, at the time of investment, have
remaining maturities of no more than 397 days or such greater
length of time as may be permitted from time to time pursuant to
Rule 2a-7. The Fund maintains procedures designed to stabilize,
to the extent reasonably possible, the price per share as
computed for the purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00. Such
procedures include review of the Fund's portfolio holdings by the
Trustees to the extent required by Rule 2a-7 under the Act at
such intervals as they deem appropriate to determine whether and
to what extent the net asset value of the Fund calculated by
using available market quotations or market equivalents deviates
from net asset value based on amortized cost. If such deviation
exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Trustees will promptly consider what
action, if any, should be initiated. In the event the Trustees
determine that such a deviation may result in material dilution
or other unfair results to new investors or existing
shareholders, they will consider corrective action which might
include (1) selling instruments prior to maturity to realize
capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity;
(2) withholding dividends of net income on shares; or
(3) establishing a net asset value per share using available
market quotations or equivalents. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Fund's net asset value per share will remain
constant at $1.00.

The net asset value of the shares is determined each
business day at 12:00 Noon and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). The net
asset value per share is calculated by taking the sum of the
value of the Fund's investments and any cash or other assets,
subtracting liabilities, and dividing by the total number of
shares outstanding. All expenses, including the fees payable to
the Adviser, are accrued daily.

TAXES
_______________________________________________________________

The Fund has qualified in each fiscal year to date and
intends to qualify in each future year to be taxed as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and, as such, will not be liable for Federal
income and excise taxes on the net income and capital gains
distributed to its shareholders. Since the Fund distributes all
of its net income and capital gains, the Fund itself should
thereby avoid all Federal income and excise taxes.

For shareholders' Federal income tax purposes, all
distributions by the Fund out of interest income and net realized
short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income and
distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are treated as
long-term capital gains irrespective of the length of time the
shareholder held shares in the Fund. Since the Fund derives
nearly all of its gross income in the form of interest and the
balance in the form of short-term capital gains, it is expected
that for corporate shareholders, none of the Fund's distributions
will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction under
current law.

GENERAL INFORMATION
_______________________________________________________________

Portfolio Transactions. Subject to the general
supervision of the Trustees of the Fund, the Adviser is
responsible for the investment decisions and the placing of the
orders for portfolio transactions for the Fund. Because the Fund
invests in securities with short maturities, there is a
relatively high portfolio turnover rate. However, the turnover
rate does not have an adverse effect upon the net yield and net
asset value of the Fund's shares since the Fund's portfolio
transactions occur primarily with issuers, underwriters or major
dealers in money market instruments acting as principals. Such
transactions are normally on a net basis which do not involve
payment of brokerage commissions. The cost of securities
purchased from an underwriter usually includes a commission paid
by the issuer to the underwriters; transactions with dealers
normally reflect the spread between bid and asked prices.

<PAGE>

best price and execution may be obtained from more than one
dealer, the Adviser may, in its discretion, purchase and sell
securities through dealers who provide research, statistical and
other information to the Adviser. Such services may be used by
the Adviser for all of its investment advisory accounts and,
accordingly, not all such services may be used by the Adviser in
connection with the Fund. The supplemental information received
from a dealer is in addition to the services required to be
performed by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, and the
expenses of the Adviser will not necessarily be reduced as a
result of the receipt of such information. During the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Fund paid no
brokerage commissions.

Capitalization. All shares of the Fund, when issued,
are fully paid and non-assessable. The Trustees are authorized
to reclassify and issue any unissued shares to any number of
additional classes or series without shareholder approval.
Accordingly, the Trustees, in the future, for reasons such as the
desire to establish one or more additional portfolios with
different investment objectives, policies or restrictions, may
create additional classes or series of shares. Any issuance of
shares of another class would be governed by the Act and the law
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If shares of another class
were issued in connection with the creation of a second
portfolio, each share of either portfolio would normally be
entitled to one vote for all purposes. Generally, shares of both
portfolios would vote as a single series for the election of
Trustees and on any other matter that affected both portfolios in
substantially the same manner. As to matters affecting each
portfolio differently, such as approval of the Advisory Agreement
and changes in investment policy, shares of each portfolio would
vote as separate classes. Certain procedures for the removal by
shareholders of trustees of investment trusts, such as the Fund,
are set forth in Section 16(c) of the Act.

At October 9, 1998, there were 5,750,273,691 shares of
beneficial interest of the Fund outstanding. To the knowledge
of the Fund the following persons owned of record and no person
owned beneficially, 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the
Portfolio as of October 9, 1998:

Shareholder Liability. Under Massachusetts law,
shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the Fund. However, the
Agreement and Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of the Fund and requires that
the Trustees use their best efforts to ensure that notice of such
disclaimer be given in each note, bond, contract, instrument,
certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or
officers of the Trust. The Agreement and Declaration of Trust
provides for indemnification out of the property of the Fund for
all loss and expense of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable for the obligations of the Fund. Thus, the
risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the
Fund would be unable to meet its obligations. In the view of the
Adviser, such risk is not material.

Legal Matters. The legality of the shares offered
hereby has been passed upon by Seward & Kissel, New York, New
York, counsel for the Fund and the Adviser. Seward & Kissel has
relied upon the opinion of Sullivan & Worcester, Boston,
Massachusetts, for matters relating to Massachusetts law.

Accountants. An opinion relating to the Fund's
financial statements is given herein by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP,
New York, New York, independent auditors for the Fund.

Yield Quotations. Advertisements containing yield
quotations for the Fund may from time to time be sent to
investors or placed in newspapers, magazines or other media on
behalf of the Fund. These advertisements may quote performance
rankings, ratings or data from independent organizations or
financial publications such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.,
Morningstar, Inc., IBC's Money Fund Report, IBC's Money Market
Insight or Bank Rate Monitor or compare the Fund's performance to
bank money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit or
various indices. Such yield quotations are calculated in
accordance with the standardized method referred to in Rule 482
under the Securities Act of 1933. Yield quotations are thus
determined by (i) computing the net change over a seven-day
period, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share
at the beginning of such period, (ii) dividing the net change in
account value by the value of the account at the beginning of
such period, and (iii) multiplying such base period return the

<PAGE>

result by (365/7)--with the resulting yield figure carried to the
nearest hundredth of one percent. The Fund's effective annual
yield represents a compounding of the annualized yield according
to the following formula:

effective yield = [(base period return + 1)365/7] - 1

The Fund's yield for the seven-day period ended June 30,
1998 was 4.60% which is the equivalent of a 4.71% compounded
effective yield. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield
for such period would have been 4.59%, equivalent to an effecitve
yield of 4.70%. Current yield information for the Fund can be
obtained by a recorded message by telephoning toll-free at
(800) 221-9513.

Additional Information. This Statement of Additional
Information does not contain all the information set forth in the
Registration Statement filed by the Fund with the Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933. Copies of the Registration
Statement may be obtained at a reasonable charge from the
Commission or may be examined, without charge, at the
Commission's offices in Washington, D.C.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998 ALLIANCE GOVERNMENT 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 (the
"Portfolio") and Alliance Treasury Reserves, each of which is considered to be
a separate entity for financial reporting and tax purposes. The 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities in the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to meet the requirements 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 any, to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are
required.

3. DIVIDENDS
The Portfolio declares dividends daily from net investment income 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.

4. INVESTMENT INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment transactions are recorded on a
trade date basis. Realized gain (loss) from investment transactions is recorded
on the identified cost basis.

5. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
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 are 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% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily net
assets; .49% on the next $.25 billion; .48% on the next $.25 billion; .47% on
the next $.25 billion; .46% on the next $1 billion; and .45% in excess of $3
billion. The Adviser has agreed, pursuant to the advisory agreement, to
reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that its annual aggregate expenses
(excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and, where permitted, extraordinary
expenses) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any fiscal year. For
the year ended June 30, 1998, the reimbursement amounted to $528,930.

The Portfolio compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Adviser, under a Transfer Agency Agreement for providing
personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the Portfolio.
Such compensation amounted to $2,608,399 for the year ended June 30, 1998.

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 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, 1998, the distribution fee amounted to $10,707,231. In addition,
the Portfolio may reimburse certain broker-dealers for administrative costs
incurred in connection with providing shareholder services, and may reimburse
the Adviser for accounting

ALLIANCE GOVERNMENT RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________

and bookkeeping, and legal and compliance support. For the year ended June 30,
1998, such payments by the Portfolio amounted to $5,468,680 of which $167,000
was paid to the Adviser.

NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
At June 30, 1998, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was
the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. At June 30, 1998 the
Portfolio had a capital loss carryforward of $868,802, of which $80,153 expires
in 2001, $236,674 expires in 2002 and $551,975 expires in the year 2003.

NOTE E: TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
An unlimited number of shares ($.001 par value) are authorized. At June 30,
1998, capital paid-in aggregated $4,909,579,676. Transactions, all at $1.00 per
share, were as follows:

APPENDIX
_______________________________________________________________

A-1+, A-1 and Prime-1 Commercial Paper Ratings

"A-1+" is the highest, and "A-1" the second highest,
commercial paper rating assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation
("Standard & Poor's") and "Prime-1" is the highest commercial
paper rating assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's"). Standard & Poor's uses the numbers 1+, 1, 2 and 3
to denote relative strength within its highest classification of
"A", while Moody's uses the numbers 1, 2 and 3 to denote relative
strength within its highest classification of "Prime."
Commercial paper issuers rated "A" by Standard & Poor's have the
following characteristics: liquidity ratios are better than
industry average; long term debt rating is A or better; the
issuer has access to at least two additional channels of
borrowing; basic earnings and cash flow are in an upward trend;
and typically, the issuer is a strong company in a well-
established industry and has superior management. Commercial
paper issuers rated "Prime" by Moody's have the following
characteristics: their short-term debt obligations carry the
smallest degree of investment risk; margins of support for
current indebtedness are large or stable with cash flow and asset
protection well assured; current liquidity provides ample
coverage of near-term liabilities and unused alternative
financing arrangements are generally available; and while
protective elements may change over the intermediate or longer
term, such changes are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of short-term obligations.

AAA & AA and Aaa & Aa Bond Ratings

Bonds rated AAA and Aaa have the highest ratings
assigned to debt obligations by Standard & Poor's and Moody's,
respectively. Standard & Poor's AAA rating indicates an
extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Bonds
rated AA by Standard & Poor's also qualify as high-quality debt
obligations. Capacity to pay principal and interest is very
strong, and the majority of instances they differ from AAA issues
only in small degree. Moody's Aaa rating indicates the ultimate
degree of protection as to principal and interest. Moody's Aa
rated bonds, though also high-grade issues, are rated lower than
Aaa bonds because margins of protection may not be as large or
fluctuations of protective elements may be of greater amplitude
or there may be other elements present which make the long-term
risks appear somewhat larger.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
_________________________________________________________________

1. Issues of the United States Treasury, such as
bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes and bonds. Such issues
are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury.

2. Repurchase agreements pertaining to the above
securities. A repurchase agreement arises when a buyer purchases
a security and simultaneously agrees to resell it to the
counterparty at an agreed-upon future date. The resale price is
greater than the purchase price, reflecting an agreed-upon market
rate which is effective for the period of time the buyer's money
is invested in the security and which is not related to the
coupon rate on the purchased security. Repurchase agreements
may be entered into with member banks of the Federal Reserve
System or "primary dealers" (as designated by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York) in U.S. Government securities or with State
Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street Bank"), the Fund's
Custodian. It is the Fund's current practice, which may be
changed at any time without shareholder approval, to enter into
repurchase agreements only with such primary dealers or State
Street Bank. For each repurchase agreement, the Fund requires
continual maintenance of the market value of the underlying
collateral in amounts equal to, or in excess of, the agreement
amount. While the maturities of the underlying collateral may
exceed 397 days, the term of the repurchase agreement is always
less than 397 days. In the event that a counterparty defaulted
on its repurchase obligation, the Fund might suffer a loss to the
extent that the proceeds from the sale of the collateral were
less than the repurchase price. If the counterparty became
bankrupt, the Fund might be delayed in selling the collateral.
Repurchase agreements often are for short periods such as one day
or a week, but may be longer. Repurchase agreements not
terminable within seven days will be limited to no more than 10%
of the Fund's assets. Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), a repurchase
agreement is deemed to be an acquisition of the underlying

<PAGE>

securities, provided that the obligation of the seller to
repurchase the securities from the money market fund is
collateralized fully (as defined in such Rule). Accordingly, the
counterparty of a fully collateralized repurchase agreement is
deemed to be the issuer of the underlying securities.

<PAGE>

floating and variable rate demand notes and bonds, which are
obligations ordinarily having stated maturities in excess of 397
days, but which permit the holder to demand payment of principal
and accrued interest at any time, or at specified intervals not
exceeding 397 days, in each case upon not more than 30 days'
notice.

While there are many kinds of short-term securities used
by money market investors, the Fund, in keeping with its primary
investment objective of safety of principal, generally restricts
its portfolio to the types of investments listed above. Net
income to shareholders is aided both by the Fund's ability to
make investments in large denominations and by its efficiencies
of scale. Also, the Fund may seek to improve its income by
selling certain portfolio securities prior to maturity in order
to take advantage of yield of the Fund's investments tends to
decrease during periods of rising interest rates and to increase
during intervals of falling rates.

Except as otherwise provided, the Fund's investment
policies are not designated "fundamental policies" within the
meaning of the Act and may, therefore, be changed by the Trustees
of the Trust without a shareholder vote. However, the Fund will
not change its investment policies without contemporaneous
written notice to shareholders.

Currently, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, the Fund may invest
only in U.S. dollar-denominated "Eligible Securities" (as that
term is defined in the Rule) that have been determined by the
Alliance Capital Management L.P. (the "Adviser") to present
minimal credit risks pursuant to procedures approved by the
Trustees. Generally, an Eligible Security is a security that
(i) has a remaining maturity of 397 days or less and (ii) is
rated, or is issued by an issuer with short-term debt outstanding
that is rated in one of the two highest rating categories by two
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs")
or, if only one NRSRO has issued a rating, by that NRSRO ("the
requisite NRSROs").Unrated securities may also be Eligible
Securities if the Adviser determines that they are of comparable
quality to a rated Eligible Security pursuant to guidelines
approved by the Trustees. A description of the ratings of some

<PAGE>

NRSROs appears in the Appendix attached hereto. Securities in
which the Fund invests may be subject to liquidity or credit
enhancements. These securities are generally considered to be
Eligible Securities if the enhancement or the issuer of the
enhancement has received the appropriate rating from the
requisite NRSROs.

Under Rule 2a-7 the Fund may not invest more than five
percent of its assets in the first tier securities of any one
issuer other than the United States Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities. A first tier security is an Eligible Security
that has received a short-term rating from the requisite NRSROs
in the highest short-term rating category for debt obligations or
is an unrated security deemed to be of comparable quality.
Government Securities are also considered to be first tier
securities. In addition, the Fund may not invest in a security
that has received, or is deemed comparable in quality to a
security that has received, the second highest rating by the
requisite number of NRSROs (a "second tier security") if
immediately after the acquisition thereof the Fund would have
invested more than (A) the greater of one percent of its total
assets or one million dollars in securities issued by that issuer
which are second tier securities, or (B) five percent of its
total assets in second tier securities.

_______________________________________________________________

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
_______________________________________________________________

The foregoing investment objectives and policies and the
following restrictions may not, except as otherwise indicated, be
changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's
outstanding shares. As used in this prospectus, the term
"majority of the Fund's outstanding shares" means the affirmative
vote of the holders of (a) 67% or more of the shares represented
at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding shares are
represented or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares,
whichever is less. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at
the time of an investment, a later increase or decrease in
percentage resulting from a change in value of portfolio
securities or in amount of the Fund's assets will not constitute
a violation of that restriction.

The Fund:

1. May not purchase any security which has a remaining
maturity of more than 397 days from the date of the Fund's
purchase;

<PAGE>

2. May not purchase securities other than marketable
obligations of the United States Treasury, or repurchase
agreements pertaining thereto;

3. May not enter into repurchase agreements if, as a
result thereof, more than 10% of the Fund's net assets would be
subject to repurchase agreements not terminable within seven days
(which may be considered to be illiquid) or with any one seller6
if, as a result thereof, more than 5% of the Fund's assets would
be invested in repurchase agreements purchased from such seller;
and may not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements if, as a
result thereof, the Fund's obligations with respect to reverse
repurchase agreements would exceed 10% of the Fund's assets;

6. May not make loans, provided that the Fund may
purchase securities of the type referred to in paragraph 2 above
and enter into repurchase agreements with respect thereto; or

7. May not (a) make investments for the purpose of
exercising control; (b) purchase securities of other investment
companies, except in connection with a merger, consolidation,
acquisition or reorganization; (c) invest in real estate (other
than money market securities secured by real estate or interests
therein or money market securities issued by companies which
invest in real estate, or interests therein), commodities or
commodity contracts, interests in oil, gas and other mineral
exploration or other development programs; (d) purchase any
restricted securities or securities on margin; (e) make short
sales of securities or maintain a short position or write,
purchase or sell puts, calls, straddles, spreads or combinations
_________________________

6Pursuant to Rule 2a-7, the seller of a fully collateralized
repurchase agreement is deemed to be the issuer of the
underlying securities.

<PAGE>

thereof; (f) invest in securities of issuers (other than agencies
and instrumentalities of the United States Government) having a
record, together with predecessors, of less than three years of
continuous operation if more than 5% of the Fund's assets would
be invested in such securities; (g) purchase or retain securities
of any issuers if those officers and trustees of the Fund and
employees of the Adviser who own individually more than 1/2 of 1%
of the outstanding securities of such issuer together own more
than 5% of the securities of such issuer; or (h) act as an
underwriter of securities.

Inc. and Equitable Capital Management Corporation, each a wholly-
owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Equitable, together with
Equitable, owned in the aggregate approximately 57% of the issued
and outstanding units representing assignments of beneficial
ownership of limited partnership interests in the Adviser.

Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser provides
investment advisory services and order placement facilities for
the Fund and pays all compensation of Trustees of the Trust who
are affiliated persons of the Adviser. The Adviser or its
affiliates also furnish the Fund without charge with management
supervision and assistance and office facilities. Under the
Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays an advisory fee at an annual
rate of .50 of 1% of up to $1.25 billion of the average daily
value of the Fund's net assets, .49 of 1% of the next
$.25 billion of such assets, .48 of 1% of the next $.25 billion
of such assets, .47 of 1% of the next $.25 billion of such
assets, .46 of 1% of the next $1 billion of such assets and .45
of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of
$3 billion. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. The

<PAGE>

Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that its
net expenses (excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and
extraordinary expenses) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets
for any fiscal year. The Adviser also voluntarily agreed to
reimburse the Portfolio from March 27, 1995 to April 25, 1996 for
expenses exceeding .80 of 1% of its average daily net assets,
from April 26, 1996 to October 26, 1997 for expenses exceeding
.85 of 1% of its average daily net assets, and from October 27,
1997 to November 19, 1997 for expenses exceeding .90% of its
average daily net assets. Accordingly, for the fiscal periods
ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Adviser received from the
Fund advisory fees of $2,681,355, $3,339,651 and $3,597,041,
respectively (net of reimbursements). In accordance with the
Distribution Services Agreement described below, the Fund may pay
a portion of advertising and promotional expenses in connection
with the sale of shares of the Fund. The Fund also pays for
printing of prospectuses and other reports to shareholders and
all expenses and fees related to registration and filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and with
state regulatory authorities. The Fund pays all other expenses
incurred in its operations, including the Adviser's management
fees; custody, transfer and dividend disbursing expenses; legal
and auditing costs; clerical, administrative accounting, and
other office costs; fees and expenses of Trustees who are not
affiliated with the Adviser; costs of maintenance of the Trust's
existence; and interest charges, taxes, brokerage fees, and
commissions. As to the obtaining of clerical and accounting
services not required to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser
under the Advisory Agreement, the Fund may employ its own
personnel. For such services, it also may utilize personnel
employed by the Adviser; if so done, the services are provided to
the Fund at cost and the payments therefor must be specifically
approved in advance by the Trustees. The Fund paid to the
Adviser a total of $127,000, $131,000 and $131,500 for such
services for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.

The Fund has made arrangements with certain broker-
dealers, including Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation and its Pershing Division, affiliates of the Adviser,
whose customers are Fund shareholders pursuant to which payments
are made to such broker-dealers performing recordkeeping and
shareholder servicing functions. Such functions may include
opening new shareholder accounts, processing purchase and
redemption transactions, and responding to inquiries regarding
the Fund's current yield and the status of shareholder accounts.
The Fund pays fully disclosed and omnibus broker dealers
(including Pershing) for such services. The Fund may also pay
for the electronic communications equipment maintained at the
broker-dealers' offices that permits access to the Fund's
computer files and, in addition, reimburses fully-disclosed

<PAGE>

broker-dealers at cost for personnel expenses involved in
providing such services. All such payments must be approved or
ratified by the Trustees. For the years ended June 30, 1996,
1997 and 1998, the Fund reimbursed such broker-dealers a total of
$111,603, $132,648 and $547,713, respectively.

Distribution Services Agreement

Rule 12b-1 under the Act permits an investment company
to directly or indirectly pay expenses associated with the
distribution of its shares in accordance with a duly adopted and
approved plan. The Fund has entered intoa Distribution Services
Agreement (the "Agreement") which includes a plan adopted
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan") with AFD (the "Distributor")
which applies to both Series of the Trust. Pursuant to the Plan,
the Fund makes payments each month to AFD in an amount that will
not exceed, on an annualized basis, .25 of 1% of the Fund's
aggregate average daily net assets. In addition, under the
Agreement the Distributor makes payments for distribution
assistance and for administrative, accounting and other services
from its own resources which may include the management fee paid
by the Fund.

<PAGE>

banks and other depository institutions for administrative and
accounting services, and (ii) otherwise promoting the sale of
shares of the Fund such as by paying for the preparation,
printing and distribution of prospectuses and other promotional
materials sent to existing and prospective shareholders and by
directly or indirectly purchasing radio, television, newspaper
and other advertising. In approving the Agreement the Trustees
determined that there was a reasonable likelihood that the
Agreement would benefit the Fund and its shareholders. For the
year ended June 30, 1998, the Fund made payments to the
Distributor for expenditures under the Agreement in amounts
aggregating $1,480,891 which constituted .20% at an annual rate
of the Fund's average daily net assets during the period, and the
Adviser made payments from its own resources as described above
aggregating $1,999,683. Of the $3,480,574 paid by the Adviser and
the Fund under the Agreement, $68,000 was paid for advertising,
printing, and mailing of prospectuses to persons other than
current shareholders; and $3,412,574 was paid to broker-dealers
and other financial intermediaries for distribution
assistance.

The administrative, accounting and other services
provided by broker-dealers, depository institutions and other
financial intermediaries may include, but are not limited to,
establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts, sub-
accounting, processing of purchase and redemption orders, sending
confirmations of transactions, forwarding financial reports and
other communications to shareholders and responding to
shareholder inquiries regarding the Fund. As interpreted by
courts and administrative agencies, certain laws and regulations
limit the ability of a bank or other depository institution to
become an underwriter or distributor of securities. However, in
the opinion of the Fund's management based on the advice of
counsel, these laws and regulations do not prohibit such
depository institutions from providing other services for
investment companies such as the administrative, accounting and
other services described above. The Trustees will consider
appropriate modifications to the Fund's operations, including
discontinuance of payments under the Agreement to banks and other
depository institutions, in the event of any future change in
such laws or regulations which may affect the ability of such
institutions to provide the above-mentioned services.

The Treasurer of the Trust reports the amounts expended
under the Agreement and the purposes for which such expenditures
were made to the Trustees on a quarterly basis. Also, the
Agreement provides that the selection and nomination of
disinterested Trustees (as defined in the Act) are committed to
the discretion of the disinterested Trustees then in office. The
Agreement was initially approved for the Fund by the Trustees at
a meeting held on June 14, 1993. Continuance of the Agreement

<PAGE>

until June 30, 1999 was approved by the vote, cast in person by
all the Trustees of the Fund who neither were interested persons
of the Fund nor had any direct or indirect financial interest in
the Agreement or any related agreement, at a meeting called for
that purpose on June 9, 1998. The Agreement may be continued
annually thereafter if approved by a majority vote of the
Trustees who neither are interested persons of the Trust nor have
any direct or indirect financial interest in the Agreement or in
any related agreement, cast in person at a meeting called for
that purpose.

Fund. Checks drawn on banks which are not members of the Federal
Reserve System may take longer to be converted and invested. All
payments must be in United States dollars.

Redemptions

A. By Telephone

<PAGE>

right to suspend or terminate its telephone redemption service at
any time without notice. Neither the Fund nor the Adviser, or
AFS will be responsible for the authenticity of telephone
requests for redemptions that the Fund reasonably believes to be
genuine. The Fund will employ reasonable procedures in order to
verify that telephone requests for redemptions are genuine,
including among others, recording such telephone instructions and
causing written confirmations of the resulting transactions to be
sent to shareholders. If the Fund did not employ such
procedures, it could be liable for losses arising from
unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions. Selected
dealers or agents may charge a commission for handling telephone
requests for redemptions.

B. By Checkwriting

The checkwriting service enables you to receive the daily
dividends declared on the shares to be redeemed until the day
that your check is presented to State Street Bank for payment.

C. By Mail

You may withdraw any amount from your account at any
time by mail. Written orders for withdrawal, accompanied by duly
endorsed certificates, if issued, should be mailed to Alliance
Fund Services, Inc., P.O. Box 1520, Secaucus, New Jersey 07096-
1520. Such orders must include the account name as registered
with the Fund and the account number. All written orders for
redemption, and accompanying certificates, if any, must be signed
by all owners of the account with the signatures guaranteed by an
institution which is an "eligible guarantor" as defined in Rule
17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

<PAGE>

_______________________________________________________________

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
_______________________________________________________________

Shareholders maintaining Fund accounts through brokerage
firms and other institutions should be aware that such
institutions necessarily set deadlines for receipt of transaction
orders from their clients that are earlier than the transaction
times of the Fund itself so that the institutions may properly
process such orders prior to their transmittal to State Street
Bank. Should an investor place a transaction order with such an
institution after its deadline, the institution may not effect
the order with the Fund until the next business day.
Accordingly, an investor should familiarize himself with the
deadlines set by his institution. (For example, the Distributor
accepts purchase orders from its customers up to 2:15 p.m.
(Eastern time) for issuance at the 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
transaction time and price.) A brokerage firm acting on behalf
of a customer in connection with transactions in Fund shares is
subject to the same legal obligations imposed on it generally in
connection with transactions in securities for a customer,
including the obligation to act promptly and accurately.

All shares purchased are confirmed to each shareholder
and are credited to his account at the net asset value. To avoid
unnecessary expense to the Fund and to facilitate the immediate
redemption of shares, share certificates, for which no charge is
made, are not issued except upon the written request of a
shareholder. Certificates are not issued for fractional shares.
Shares for which certificates have been issued are not eligible
for any of the optional methods of withdrawal; namely, the
telephone, telegraph, checkwriting or periodic redemption
procedures. The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase
order.

<PAGE>

any intermittent pattern of months. If desired, you can order,
via a signature-guaranteed letter to the Fund, such periodic
payments to be sent to another person. Shareholders wishing
either of the above plans electronically through the ACH network
should write or telephone the Fund or AFS at (800) 221-5672.

The Fund has the right to close out an account if it has
a zero balance on December 31 and no account activity for the
first six months of the subsequent year. Therefore, unless this
has occurred, a shareholder with a zero balance, when
reinvesting, should continue to use his account number.
Otherwise, the account should be re-opened pursuant to procedures
described above or through instructions given to a financial
intermediary.

A "business day," during which purchases and redemptions
of Fund shares can become effective and the transmittal of
redemption proceeds can occur, is considered for Fund purposes as
any weekday exclusive of New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day, President's Day (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day
(observed), Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day; if one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or
Sunday, purchases and redemptions will likewise not be processed
on the preceding Friday or the following Monday, respectively.
On any such day that is an official bank holiday in
Massachusetts, neither purchases nor wired redemptions can become
effective because Federal funds cannot be received or sent by
State Street Bank. On such days, therefore, the Fund can only
accept redemption orders for which shareholders desire remittance
by check. The right of redemption may be suspended or the date
of a redemption payment postponed for any period during which the
New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings), when trading on the New York Stock
Exchange is restricted, or an emergency (as determined by the
Commission) exists, or the Commission has ordered such a
suspension for the protection of shareholders. The value of a
shareholder's investment at the time of redemption may be more or
less than his cost, depending on the market value of the
securities held by the Fund at such time and the income
earned.

(3) establishing a net asset value per share using available
market quotations or equivalents. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Fund's net asset value per share will remain

_______________________________________________________________

TAXES
_______________________________________________________________

The Fund has qualified in each fiscal year to date and
intends to qualify in each future year to be taxed as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and, as such, will not be liable for Federal
income and excise taxes on the net income and capital gains
distributed to its shareholders. Since the Fund intends to
distribute all of its net income and capital gains, the Fund
itself should thereby avoid all Federal income and excise taxes.

_______________________________________________________________

GENERAL INFORMATION
_______________________________________________________________

Portfolio Transactions. Subject to the general
supervision of the Trustees of the Trust, the Adviser is
responsible for the investment decisions and the placing of the
orders for portfolio transactions for the Fund. Because the Fund
invests in securities with short maturities, there may be a
relatively high portfolio turnover rate. However, the turnover
rate does not have an adverse effect upon the net yield and net

<PAGE>

asset value of the Fund's shares since the Fund's portfolio
transactions occur primarily with issuers, underwriters or major
dealers in money market instruments acting as principals. Such
transactions are normally on a net basis which do not involve
payment of brokerage commissions. The cost of securities
purchased from an underwriter usually includes a commission paid
by the issuer to the underwriters; transactions with dealers
normally reflect the spread between bid and asked prices.

The Fund has no obligations to enter into transactions
in portfolio securities with any dealer, issuer, underwriter or
other entity. In placing orders, it is the policy of the Fund to
obtain the best price and execution for its transactions. Where
best price and execution may be obtained from more than one
dealer, the Adviser may, in its discretion, purchase and sell
securities through dealers who provide research, statistical and
other information to the Adviser. Such services may be used by
the Adviser for all of its investment advisory accounts and,
accordingly, not all such services may be used by the Adviser in
connection with the Fund. The supplemental information received
from a dealer is in addition to the services required to be
performed by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement, and the
expenses of the Adviser will not necessarily be reduced as a
result of the receipt of such information. For the fiscal years
ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Fund paid no brokerage
commissions.

Capitalization. All shares of the Trust, when issued,
are fully paid and non-assessable. The Trustees are authorized
to reclassify and issue any unissued shares to any number of
additional classes or series without shareholder approval.
Accordingly, the Trustees, in the future, for reasons such as the
desire to establish one or more additional portfolios with
different investment objectives, policies or restrictions, may
create additional classes or series of shares. Any issuance of
shares of another class would be governed by the Act and the law
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Shares of each portfolio
are normally entitled to one vote for all purposes. Generally,
shares of all portfolios vote as a single series for the election
of Trustees and on any other matter that affected all portfolios
in substantially the same manner. As to matters affecting each
portfolio differently, such as approval of the Advisory Agreement
and changes in investment policy, shares of each portfolio vote
as separate series. Certain procedures for the removal by
shareholders of trustees of investment trusts, such as the Trust,
are set forth in Section 16(c) of the Act.

At October 9, 1998, there were 796,431,541 shares of
beneficial interest of the Fund outstanding. To the knowledge of
the Fund the following persons owned of record and no person

under the Securities Act of 1933. Yield quotations are thus
determined by (i) computing the net change over a seven-day
period, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share
at the beginning of such period, (ii) dividing the net change in
account value by the value of the account at the beginning of
such period, and (iii) multiplying such base period return the
result by (365/7)--with the resulting yield figure carried to the
nearest hundredth of one percent. The Fund's effective annual
yield represents a compounding of the annualized yield according
to the following formula:

effective yield = [(base period return + 1)365/7] - 1

The Fund's yield for the seven-day period ended June 30,
1998, after expense reimbursement, was 4.30% which is the
equivalent of a 4.39% compounded effective yield. Absent such
reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would have
been 4.24%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.33%. Current
yield information for the Fund can be obtained by a recorded
message by telephoning toll-free at (800) 221-9513.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998 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 of which is considered to be a
separate entity for financial reporting and tax purposes. The 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities in the financial statements and amounts of income and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Portfolio.

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 meet the requirements 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 any, to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are
required.

4. DIVIDENDS
The Portfolio declares dividends daily from net investment income 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. INVESTMENT INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment transactions are recorded on a
trade date basis. Realized gain (loss) from investment transactions is recorded
on the identified cost basis.

6. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
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 are 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% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily net
assets; .49% on the next $.25 billion; .48% on the next $.25 billion; .47% on
the next $.25 billion; .46% on the next $1 billion; and .45% in excess of $3
billion. The Adviser has agreed, pursuant to the advisory agreement, to
reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that its annual 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, 1997 to
October 26, 1997 for expenses exceeding .85% of its average daily net assets
and from October 27, 1997 to November 19, 1997 for expenses exceeding .90% of
its average daily net assets. For the year ended June 30, 1998, the
reimbursement amounted to $39,480.

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 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, 1998, the distribution fee amounted to $1,818,261, of which
$337,370 was waived. In addition, the Portfolio may reimburse certain
broker-dealers for administrative costs incurred in connection with providing
shareholder services, and may reimburse the Adviser for accounting and
bookkeeping, and legal and compliance support. For the year ended June 30,
1998, such payments by the Portfolio amounted to $679,213, of which $131,500
was paid to the Adviser.

NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
At June 30, 1998, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was
the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. At June 30, 1998 the
Portfolio had a loss carryforward of $1,049 which expires in the year 2006.

NOTE E: TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
An unlimited number of shares ($.001 par value) are authorized. At June 30,
1998, capital paid-in aggregated $740,057,194. Transactions, all at $1.00 per
share, were as follows:

APPENDIX
_______________________________________________________________

A-1+, A-1 and Prime-1 Commercial Paper Ratings

"A-1+" is the highest, and "A-1" the second highest,
commercial paper rating assigned by Standard & Poor's Corporation
("Standard & Poor's") and "Prime-1" is the highest commercial
paper rating assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's"). Standard & Poor's uses the numbers 1+, 1, 2 and 3
to denote relative strength within its highest classification of
"A", while Moody's uses the numbers 1, 2 and 3 to denote relative
strength within its highest classification of "Prime." Commercial
paper issuers rated "A" by Standard & Poor's have the following
characteristics: liquidity ratios are better than industry
average; long term debt rating is A or better; the issuer has
access to at least two additional channels of borrowing; basic
earnings and cash flow are in an upward trend; and typically, the
issuer is a strong company in a well-established industry and has
superior management. Commercial paper issuers rated "Prime" by
Moody's have the following characteristics: their short-term debt
obligations carry the smallest degree of investment risk; margins
of support for current indebtedness are large or stable with cash
flow and asset protection well assured; current liquidity
provides ample coverage of near-term liabilities and unused
alternative financing arrangements are generally available; and
while protective elements may change over the intermediate or
longer term, such changes are most unlikely to impair the
fundamentally strong position of short-term obligations.

AAA & AA and Aaa & Aa Bond Ratings

Bonds rated AAA and Aaa have the highest ratings
assigned to debt obligations by Standard & Poor's and Moody's,
respectively. Standard & Poor's AAA rating indicates an extremely
strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Bonds rated AA by
Standard & Poor's also qualify as high-quality debt obligations.
Capacity to pay principal and interest is very strong, and the
majority of instances they differ from AAA issues only in small
degree. Moody's Aaa rating indicates the ultimate degree of
protection as to principal and interest. Moody's Aa rated bonds,
though also high-grade issues, are rated lower than Aaa bonds
because margins of protection may not be as large or fluctuations
of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may
be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear
somewhat larger.

ITEM 27. Indemnification

It is the Registrant's policy to indemnify its trustees
and officers, employees and other agents as set forth in
Article V of Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of
Trust, filed as Exhibit 1 in response to Item 24 and
Section 7 of the Distribution Agreement filed as Exhibit
6 in response to Item 24, all as set forth below. The
liability of the Registrant's trustees and officers is
also dealt with in Article V of Registrant's Agreement
and Declaration of Trust. The Adviser's liability for
loss suffered by the Registrant or its shareholders is
set forth in Section 4 of the Advisory Agreement filed
as Exhibit 5 in response to Item 24, as set forth below.

Article V of Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of
Trust reads as follows:

Section 5.1 - No Personal Liability of Shareholders,
Trustees, etc.
No Shareholder shall be subject to any personal
liability whatsoever to any Person in connection with
Trust Property, including the or any series thereof. No
Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall
property of any series of the Trust, or the acts,
obligations or affairs of the Trust be subject to any
personal liability whatsoever to any Person, other than
the Trust or applicable series thereof or its
Shareholders, in connection with Trust Property or the
property of any series thereof or the affairs of the
Trust or any series thereof, save only that arising from
bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or
reckless disregard for his duty to such Person; and all
such Persons shall look solely to the Trust Property or
the property of the appropriate series of the Trust for

C-3

<PAGE>

satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in
connection with the affairs of the Trust or any series
thereof. If any Shareholder, Trustee, officer, employee
or agent, as such, of the Trust is made a party to any
suit or proceeding to enforce any such liability, he
shall not, on account thereof, be held to any personal
liability. The Trust shall indemnify and hold each
Shareholder harmless from and against all claims by
reason of his being or having been a Shareholder, and
shall reimburse such Shareholder for all legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with
any such claim or liability, provided that any such
expenses shall be paid solely out of the funds and
property of the series of the Trust with respect to
which such Shareholder's Shares are issued. The rights
accruing to a Shareholder under this Section 5.1 shall
not exclude any other right to which such Shareholder
may be lawfully entitled, nor shall anything herein
contained restrict the right of the Trust to indemnify
or reimburse a Shareholder in any appropriate situation
even though not specifically provided herein.

Section 5.2 - Non-Liability of Trustees, etc. No
Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall
be liable to the Trust, its Shareholders, or to any
Shareholder, Trustee, officer, employee, or agent
thereof for any action or failure to act (including
without limitation the failure to compel in any way any
former or acting Trustee to redress any breach of trust)
except for his own bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of his duties.

Section 5.3 - Indemnification.
(a) The Trustees shall provide for indemnification by
the Trust (or by the appropriate series thereof) of
every person who is, or has been, a Trustee or officer
of the Trust against all liability and against all
expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in
connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in
which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by
virtue of his being or having been a Trustee or officer
and against amounts paid or incurred by him in the
settlement thereof, in such manner as the Trustees may
provide from time to time in the By-Laws.

(b) The words "claim," "action," "suit," or
"proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions, suits
or proceedings (civil, criminal, or other, including
appeals), actual or threatened; and the words
"liability" and "expenses" shall include, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts

C-4

<PAGE>

paid in settlement, fines, penalties and other
liabilities.

Section 5.4 - No Bond Required of Trustees. No Trustee
shall be obligated to give any bond or other security
for performance of any of his duties hereunder.

Section 5.5 - No Duty of Investigation; Notice in Trust
Instruments, Insurance. No purchaser, lender, transfer
agent or other Person dealing with the Trustees or any
officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be bound
to make any inquiry concerning the validity of any
transaction purporting to be made by the Trustees or by
said officer, employee or agent or be liable for the
application of money or property paid, loaned, or
delivered to or on the order of the Trustees or of said
officer, employee or agent. Every obligation, contract,
instrument, certificate, Share, other security of the
Trust or undertaking, and every other act or thing
whatsoever executed in connection with the Trust shall
be conclusively presumed to have been executed or done
by the executors thereof only in their capacity as
Trustees under the Declaration or in their capacity as
officers, employees or agents of the Trust. Every
written obligation, contract, instrument, certificate,
Share, other security of the Trust or undertaking made
or issued by the Trustees shall recite that the same is
executed or made by them not individually, but as
Trustees under the Declaration, and that the obligations
of any such instrument are not binding upon any of the
Trustees or Shareholders, individually, but bind only
the Trust Property or the property of the appropriate
series of the Trust, and may contain any further recital
which they or he may deem appropriate, but the omission
of such recital shall not operate to bind the Trustees
or Shareholders individually. The Trustees shall at all
times maintain insurance for the protection of the Trust
Property, its Shareholders, Trustees, officers,
employees and agents in such amount as the Trustees
shall deem adequate to cover possible tort liability,
and such other insurance as the Trustees in their sole
judgment shall deem advisable.

Section 5.6 - Reliance on Experts, etc. Each Trustee
and officer or employee of the Trust shall, in the
performance of his duties, be fully and completely
justified and protected with regard to any act or any
failure to act resulting from reliance in good faith
upon the books of account or other records of the Trust,
upon an opinion of counsel or upon reports made to the
Trust by any of its officers or employees or by the

C-5

<PAGE>

Investment Adviser, the Distributor, Transfer Agent,
selected dealers, accountants, appraisers or other
experts or consultants selected with reasonable care by
the Trustees, officers or employees of the Trust,
regardless of whether such counsel or expert may also be
a Trustee.

The Advisory Agreement between Registrant and Alliance
Capital Management L.P. provides that Alliance Capital
Management L.P. will not be liable under such agreement
for any mistake of judgment or in any event whatsoever
except for lack of good faith and that nothing therein
shall be deemed to protect, or purport to protect,
Alliance Capital Management L.P. against any liability
to Registrant or its security holders to which it would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties thereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties thereunder.

The Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and
Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. provides that the
Registrant will indemnify, defend and hold Alliance Fund
Distributors, Inc., and any person who controls it
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, free and harmless from and against
any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses
which Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. or any
controlling person may incur arising out of or based
upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in Registrant's Registration Statement or
Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information or
arising out of, or based upon any alleged omission to
state a material fact required to be stated in or
necessary to make the statements in either thereof not
misleading; provided, however that nothing therein shall
be so construed as to protect Alliance Fund
Distributors, Inc. against any liability to Registrant
or its security holders to which it would otherwise be
subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of its duties
thereunder, or by reason of reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties thereunder.

The foregoing summaries are qualified by the entire text
of Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, the
Advisory Agreement between Registrant and Alliance
Capital Management L.P. and the Distribution Agreement
between Registrant and Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc.

C-6

<PAGE>

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act may be permitted to trustees,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
trustee, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of
whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

In accordance with Release No. IC-11330 (September 2,
1980) the Registrant will indemnify its directors,
officers, investment manager and principal underwriters
only if (1) a final decision on the merits was issued by
the court or other body before whom the proceeding was
brought that the person to be indemnified (the
"indemnitee") was not liable by reason or willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his
office ("disabling conduct") or (2) a reasonable
determination is made, based upon a review of the facts,
that the indemnitee was not liable of disabling conduct,
by (a) the vote of a majority of a quorum of the
directors who are neither "interested persons" of the
Registrant as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 nor parties to the
proceeding ("disinterested, non-party directors"), or
(b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
The Registrant will advance attorneys fees or other
expenses incurred by its directors, officers, investment
adviser or principal underwriters in defending a
proceeding, upon the undertaking by or on behalf of the
indemnitee to repay the advance unless it is ultimately
determined that he is entitled to indemnification and,
as a condition to the advance, (1) the indemnitee shall
provide a security for his undertaking, (2) the
Registrant shall be insured against losses arising by
reason of any lawful advances, or (3) a majority of a
quorum of disinterested, non-party directors of the

C-7

<PAGE>

Registrant, or an independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily
available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type
inquiry), that there is reason to believe that the
indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to
indemnification.

The Registrant participates in a joint directors and
officers liability insurance policy issued by the ICI
Mutual Insurance Company. Coverage under this policy
has been extended to directors, trustees and officers of
the investment companies managed by Alliance Capital
Management L.P. Under this policy, outside trustees and
directors would be covered up to the limits specified
for any claim against them for acts committed in their
capacities as trustee or director. A pro rata share of
the premium for this coverage is charged to each
investment company.

ITEM 28. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser.

The descriptions of Alliance Capital Management L.P.
under the caption "The Adviser" in the Prospectus and
"Management of the Fund" in the Prospectus and in the
Statement of Additional Information constituting Parts A

The information as to the directors and executive
officers of Alliance Capital Management Corporation, the
general partner of Alliance Capital Management L.P., set

filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT

ALLIANCE GOVERNMENT RESERVES
1345 Avenue of the Americas
New York, New York 10105

July 22, 1992, as
amended as of January 1, 1998

Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc.
1345 Avenue of the Americas
New York, New York 10105

Dear Sirs:

This is to confirm that, on the terms and conditions set
forth herein, we have agreed that you shall be, for the period of
this Distribution Services Agreement (the "Agreement"), a
distributor, as our agent, for the unsold portion of such number
of shares of beneficial interest of our Trust, par value $.01 per
share (the "Trust Shares") as may from time to time be
effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act").

1. We hereby agree to offer through you as our agent,
and to solicit, through you as our agent, offers to subscribe to,
the unsold balance of the Trust Shares as shall then be
effectively registered under the Act, and you are appointed our
agent for such purpose. All subscriptions for Trust Shares
obtained by you shall be directed to us for acceptance and shall
not be binding on us until accepted by us. You shall have no
authority to make binding subscriptions on our behalf. We
reserve the right to sell Trust Shares through other distributors
or directly to investors through subscriptions received by us at
our principal office in New York, New York. The right given to
you under this agreement shall not apply to Trust Shares issued
in connection with (a) the merger or consolidation of any other
investment company with us, (b) our acquisition by purchase or
otherwise of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of
any other investment company or (c) the reinvestment in Trust
Shares by our shareholders of dividends or other distributions or
any other offering of shares to our shareholders.

2. You will use your best efforts to obtain
subscriptions to Trust Shares upon the terms and conditions
contained herein and in the then current Prospectus and Statement
of Additional Information, including the offering price. You
will send to us promptly all subscriptions placed with you. We
shall advise you of the approximate net asset value per share or
net asset value per share (as used in the Prospectus and

<PAGE>

Statement of Additional Information) on any date requested by you
and at such other times as it shall have been determined by us.
We shall furnish you from time to time, for use in connection
with the offering of Trust Shares, such other information with
respect to us and the Trust Shares as you may reasonably request.
We shall supply you with such copies of our current Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information in effect from time to
time as you may request. You are not authorized to give any
information or to make any representations, other than those
contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus and Statement
of Additional Information, as then in effect, filed under the Act
covering Trust Shares or which we may authorize in writing. You
may use employees and agents at your cost and expense to assist
you in carrying out your obligations hereunder but no such
employee or agent shall be deemed to be our agent or have any
rights under this agreement.

3. We reserve the right to suspend the offering of
Trust Shares at any time, in the absolute discretion of our Board
of Trustees, and upon notice of such suspension you shall cease
to offer Trust Shares hereunder.

4. Both of us will cooperate with each other in taking
such action as may be necessary to qualify Trust Shares for sale
under the securities laws of such states as we may designate.
Pursuant to our Advisory Agreement dated July 22, 1992 with
Alliance Capital Management L.P. (the "Adviser"), we will pay all
fees and expenses of registering Trust Shares under the Act and
of qualification of Trust Shares and our qualification under
applicable state securities laws. You shall pay all expenses
relating to your broker-dealer qualification.

5. It is understood that paragraphs 5, 10 and 13 hereof
constitutes a plan of distribution (the "Plan") within the
meaning of Rule 12b-1 adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act") and is a part of this Agreement. The material aspects of
the Plan are as follows:

(a) The Trust will pay to you each month a distribution
services fee with respect to each Portfolio of the Trust
("Portfolio") which will not exceed, on an annualized basis, .25
of 1% of the Trust's average daily net assets. You will use the
entire amount so received from the Trust (i) to make payments to
you to compensate broker-dealers or other persons for providing
distribution assistance, (ii) to compensate banks and other
institutions for providing administrative and accounting services
with respect to Trust shareholders and (iii) to otherwise promote
the sale of shares of the Trust, including paying for the
preparation, printing and distribution of prospectuses and sales
literature or other promotional activities.

<PAGE>

(b) The Adviser will as long as the Plan is in effect
make similar payments to you for distribution services performed
by you and for distribution assistance provided by broker-dealers
or other persons as described above and to banks or other
institutions for administrative and accounting services. These
payments will be made by the Adviser from its own resources,
which may include the management fee it receives from the Trust.
The Adviser may in its sole discretion increase or decrease the
amount of distribution assistance payments.

(c) Payments for distribution assistance or
administrative and accounting services are subject to the terms
and conditions of the written agreements between each broker-
dealer or other person and you. Such agreements will be in a
form satisfactory to the Trustees of the Trust.

(d) The Treasurer of the Trust will prepare and furnish
to the Trustees of the Trust at least quarterly a written report
complying with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 setting forth all
amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes for which such
expenditures were made.

(e) The Trust is not obligated to pay any distribution
expense in excess of the distribution services fee described in
subparagraph (a) hereof and any expenses of distribution of the
Trust's shares accrued by you in one fiscal year of the Trust may
not be paid from distribution services fees received from the
Trust in subsequent fiscal years of the Trust. Distribution
services fees received from the Trust also will not be used to
pay any interest expense, carrying charges or other financing
costs, or allocation of overhead.

(f) All agreements with any persons relating to the
implementation of the Plan will be subject to termination,
without penalty, upon not more than sixty days' written notice,
pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 10 hereof.

(g) You are not obligated by the Plan to execute
agreements with qualifying banks, broker-dealers or other persons
and any termination of an agreement with a particular financial
intermediary under the Plan will have no effect on similar
agreements between you and other participating banks, broker-
dealers or other persons pursuant to the Plan.

6. We represent to you that our Registration Statement,
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (as in effect
from time to time) under the Act have been or will be, as the
case may be, carefully prepared in conformity with the
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. We represent and
warrant to you that our Registration Statement, Prospectus and

<PAGE>

Statement of Additional Information contain or will contain all
statements required to be stated therein in accordance with the
Act and the rules and regulations of said Commission, and that
all statements of fact contained or to be contained therein are
or will be true and correct at the time indicated or the
effective date as the case may be; that none of our Registration
Statement, our Prospectus or our Statement of Additional
Information, when it shall become effective or be authorized for
use, will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to a
purchaser of Trust Shares. We will from time to time file such
amendment or amendments to our Registration Statement, Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information as, in the light of
future developments, shall, in the opinion of our counsel, be
necessary in order to have our Registration Statement, Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information at all times contain all
material facts required to be stated therein or necessary to make
any statements therein not misleading to a purchaser of Trust
Shares, but, if we shall not file such amendment or amendments
within fifteen days after receipt by us of a written request from
you to do so, you may, at your option, terminate this Agreement
immediately. We shall not file any amendment to our Registration
Statement, Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information
without giving you reasonable notice thereof in advance;
provided, however, that nothing in this agreement contained shall
in any way limit our right to file at any such time such
amendments to our Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement
of Additional Information, of whatever character, as we may deem
advisable, such right being in all respects absolute and
unconditional. We represent and warrant to you that any
amendment to our Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement
of Additional Information hereafter filed by us will, when it
becomes effective, contain all statements required to be stated
therein in accordance with the Act and the rules and regulations
of said Commission, that all statements of fact contained therein
will, when the same shall become effective, be true and correct
and that no such amendment, when it becomes effective, will
include an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading to a purchaser of
Trust Shares.

7. We agree to indemnify, defend and hold you, and any
person who controls you within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Act, free and harmless from and against any and all claims,
demands, liabilities and expenses (including the cost of
investigating or defending such claims, demands or liabilities
and any reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith)
which you or any such controlling person may incur, under the
Act, or under common law or otherwise, arising out of or based

<PAGE>

upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
our Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement of Additional
Information in effect from time to time under the Act or arising
out of or based upon any alleged omission to state a material
fact required to be stated in either thereof or necessary to make
the statements in either thereof not misleading; provided,
however, that in no event shall anything herein contained be so
construed as to protect you against any liability to us or our
security holders to which you would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence, in
the performance of your duties, or by reason of your reckless
disregard of your obligations and duties under this agreement.
Our agreement to indemnify you and any such controlling person as
aforesaid is expressly conditioned upon our being notified of any
action brought against you or any such controlling person, such
notification to be given by letter or by telegram addressed to us
at our principal office in New York, New York, and sent to us by
the person against whom such action is brought within ten days
after the summons or other first legal process shall have been
served. The failure to so notify us of any such action shall not
relieve us from any liability which we may have to the person
against whom such action is brought by reason of any such alleged
untrue statement or omission otherwise than on account of our
indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph 7. We will be
entitled to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any
such claim, and to retain counsel of good standing chosen by us
and approved by you. In the event we do elect to assume the
defense of any suit and retain counsel of good standing approved
by you, the defendant or defendants in such suit shall bear the
fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by any of
them; but in case we do not elect to assume the defense of any
such suit, or in case you do not approve of counsel chosen by us,
we will reimburse you or the controlling person or persons named
as defendant or defendants in such suit, for the fees and
expenses of any counsel retained by you or them. Our
indemnification agreement contained in this paragraph 7 and our
representations and warranties in this Agreement shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of you or any controlling
person and shall survive the sale of any of Trust Shares made
pursuant to subscriptions obtained by you. This agreement of
indemnity will inure exclusively to your benefit, to the benefit
of your successors and assigns, and to the benefit of any
controlling persons and their successors and assigns. We agree
promptly to notify you of the commencement of any litigation or
processing against us in connection with the issue and sale of
any Trust Shares.

8. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us, our
several officers and trustees, and any person who controls us
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, free and harmless

<PAGE>

from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, and
expenses (including the cost of investigating or defending such
claims, demands or liabilities and any reasonable counsel fees
incurred in connection therewith) which we, our officers or
trustees, or any such controlling person may incur under the Act
or under common law or otherwise, but only to the extent that
such liability, or expense incurred by us, our officers or
trustees or such controlling person resulting from such claims or
demands shall arise out of or be based upon any alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in information furnished
in writing by you to us for use in our Registration Statement or
Prospectus in effect from time to time under the Act, or shall
arise out of or be based upon any alleged omission to state a
material fact in connection with such information required to be
stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary
to make such information not misleading. Your agreement to
indemnify us, our officers and trustees, and any such controlling
person as aforesaid is expressly conditioned upon you being
notified of any action brought against us, our officers or
trustees or any such controlling person, such notification to be
given by letter or telegram addressed to you at your principal
office in New York, New York, and sent to you by the person
against whom such action is brought, within ten days after the
summons or other first legal process shall have been served. You
shall have a right to control the defense of such action, with
counsel of your own choosing, satisfactory to us, if such action
is based solely upon such alleged misstatement or omission on
your part, and in any other event you and we, our officers or
trustees or such controlling person shall each have the right to
participate in the defense or preparation of the defense of any
such action. The failure to so notify you of any such action
shall not relieve you from any liability which you may have to
us, to our officers or trustees, or to such controlling person by
reason of any such untrue statement or omission on your part
otherwise than on account of your indemnity agreement contained
in this paragraph 8.

9. We agree to advise you immediately:

(a) of any request by the Securities and Exchange
Commission for amendments to our Registration Statement or
Prospectus or for additional information,

(b) In the event of the issuance by the Securities and
Exchange Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of our Registration Statement or Prospectus or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose,

(c) of the happening of any material event which makes
untrue any statement made in our Registration Statement or
Prospectus or which requires the making of a change in either

<PAGE>

thereof in order to make the statements therein not misleading,
and

(d) of all action of the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to any amendments to our Registration
Statement or Prospectus which may from time to time be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act.

10. (a) This agreement shall become effective in
respect of each Portfolio of the Trust on the date hereof, shall
remain in effect until June 30, 1998, and shall continue in
effect thereafter for successive twelve-month periods (computed
from each July 1); provided, however, that such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by the Trustees of the
Trust or by majority vote of the holders of the outstanding
voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the relevant
Portfolio of the Trust, and, in either case, by a majority of the
Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or
interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party
(other than as Trustees of the Trust) and who have no direct or
indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or any
agreement related thereto. Upon the effectiveness of this
Agreement, it shall supersede all previous agreements between the
parties hereto covering the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement may be terminated in respect of a Portfolio of the
Trust (i) by the Trust at any time, without the payment of any
penalty, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities (as so defined) of such Portfolio, or by a vote of a
majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested
persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust and have no
direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
Plan or any agreement related thereto, in either event on sixty
days written notice to you; provided, however, that no such
notice shall be required if such termination is stated by the
Trust to relate only to paragraphs 5 and 13 hereof (in which
event paragraphs 5 and 13 shall be deemed to have been severed
herefrom and all other provisions of this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect), or (ii) by you on sixty days
written notice to the Trust.

(b) This Agreement may be amended at any time with the
approval of the Trustees of the Trust; provided, however, that
(i) any material amendments of the terms hereof will become
effective with respect to a Portfolio only upon approval as
provided in the first proviso of paragraph 10(a) hereof, and
(ii) any amendment to increase materially the amount to be
expended by a Portfolio for distribution assistance,
administrative and accounting services and other activities
designed to promote the sale of shares of such Portfolio
hereunder will be effective with respect to a Portfolio only upon
the additional approval by a vote of a majority of the

<PAGE>

outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio as defined in the
1940 Act.

11. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned,
sold or in any manner hypothecated or pledged by you and this
Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of any such
transfer, assignment, sale, hypothecation or pledge. The terms
"transfer", "assignment", and "sale" as used in this paragraph
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto by governing law and any
interpretation thereof contained in rules or regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

12. Except to the extent necessary to perform your
obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or
restrict your right, or the right of any of your officers,
directors or employees who may also be a trustee, officer or
employee of ours, to engage in any other business or to devote
time and attention to the management or other aspects of any
other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to
render services of any kind to any other corporation, firm,
individual or association.

13. While the Plan is in effect, the selection and
nomination of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of
the Trust (as defined in the 1940 Act) will be committed to the
discretion of such disinterested trustees.

14. Notice is hereby given that this Agreement is
entered into on our behalf by an officer of our Trust in his
capacity as an officer and not individually and that the
obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding
upon any of our Trustees, officers, shareholders, employees or
agents individually but are binding only upon the assets and
property of our Trust.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your
understanding, will you kindly so indicate by signing and
returning to us the enclosed copy hereof.

Very truly yours,
