(1) The actual aggregate sales price for which such securities were
sold was $10,793,631,765. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994
the actual aggregate redemption price of securities redeemed by the
Registrant was $11,531,707,300. No portion of such redemption price has
been applied by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 24e-2(a) in filings made
pursuant to Section 24(e) (1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. Pursuant to Rule 24f-2(c), the registration fee with respect to
the securities sold is calculated as follows: $10,793,631,765 -
$11,531,707,300 = ($738,075,535) x $.00034483 = ($254,511). Therefore, no
registration fee is required.

RE: Rule 24f-2 Notice
Dear Sir or Madam:
In connection with the filing by Smith Barney Government and Agencies
Fund Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), of a Notice (the "Notice")
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "1940 Act"), for the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, 1994, you
have requested that the undersigned provide the legal opinion required by
that Rule.
In accordance with Rule 24f-2, the Fund has registered an indefinite
number of shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The purpose of the Notice is to make
definite the registration of 10,793,631,765 shares of the Fund (the
"Shares") sold in reliance upon the Rule during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1994.
The undersigned is First Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of
Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc., the Fund's administrator, and in
such capacity, from time to time and for certain purposes, acts as counsel
to the Fund. I have examined copies of the Fund's Articles of
Incorporation, its By-Laws, resolutions adopted by its Board of Directors
and such other records and documents as I have deemed necessary for
purposes of this opinion. Furthermore, I have examined a Certificate of
the Treasurer of the Fund to the effect that the Fund received the cash
consideration for each of the Shares in accordance with the aforementioned
charter documents and votes.
On the basis of the foregoing, and assuming all of the Shares were
sold in accordance with the terms of the Fund's Prospectus in effect at the
time of sale, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized
and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. This opinion is
for the limited purposes expressed above and should not be deemed to be an
expression of opinion as to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the 1940 Act or applicable State "blue sky" laws in connection
with the sales of the Shares.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Lee D. Augsburger
Lee D. Augsburger
First Vice President and
Deputy General Counsel
