Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice
-----------------
Gentlemen:
Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund, formerly Scudder Government Money Fund,
(the "Trust") is a trust created under a written Declaration of Trust dated
April 4, 1980, and executed and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts. The
Declaration of Trust was amended by an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust
dated November 3, 1987 (as further amended, the "Declaration of Trust"). The
beneficial interest thereunder is represented by transferable shares with par
value $.0l per share (the "Shares"). The Trustees have the powers set forth in
the Declaration of Trust, subject to the terms, provisions and conditions
therein provided.
We are of the opinion that the legal requirements have been complied with
in the creation of the Trust and that said Declaration of Trust is legal and
valid.
Under Article V, Section 5.4 of the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees are
empowered, in their discretion, from time to time, to issue Shares for such
amount and type of consideration, at such time or times and on such terms as the
Trustees may deem best. Under Article V, Section 5.1, it is provided that the
number of Shares authorized to be issued under the Declaration of Trust is
unlimited.
By votes adopted on November 14, 1995 and November 5, 1996, the Trustees of
the Trust authorized the President, any Vice President, the Secretary, and the
Treasurer, from time to time, to determine the appropriate number of Shares to
be registered, to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to
issue and sell to the public, such Shares.

We understand that you are about to file a Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, making definite the
registration of 860,582,122 Shares sold in reliance upon said Rule 24f-2 during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
We are of the opinion that all necessary Trust action precedent to the
issue of said 860,582,122 Shares was duly taken. We are of the further opinion
that all such Shares were legally and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable by the Trust. In rendering the opinion expressed in the preceding
sentence, we rely on certification by an officer of the Trust that the Trust or
its agent received consideration for such Shares in accordance with the
provisions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust, and we assume that the sale of
such Shares was effected in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and applicable state
laws regulating the sale of securities.
We consent to your filing this opinion with the Securities and Exchange
Commission together with the Rule 24f-2 Notice referred to above.
Very truly yours,
/s/Dechert Price & Rhoads
