We have examined the accompanying description of the Prudential Multiple Class
Pricing Worksheet (the "Worksheet") application of State Street Bank and Trust
Company ("State Street"), custodian and recordkeeper for the Prudential Mutual
Funds (the "Funds"). Our examination included procedures to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether (1) the accompanying description presents fairly, in all
material respects, the aspects of State Street's policies and procedures that
may be relevant to a Fund's internal control structure relating to the
Worksheet, (2) the control structure policies and procedures included in the
description were suitably designed to achieve the control objectives specified
in the description, if those policies and procedures were complied with
satisfactorily, and (3) such policies and procedures had been placed in
operation as of June 30, 1996. The control objectives were specified by
Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc. Our examination was performed in
accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants and included those procedures we considered necessary in the
circumstances to obtain a reasonable basis for rendering our opinion.
In our opinion, the accompanying description of the aforementioned application
presents fairly, in all material respects, the relevant aspects of State
Street's policies and procedures that had been placed in operation as of
June 30, 1996. Also, in our opinion, the policies and procedures, as described,
are suitably designed to provide reasonable assurance that the specified control
objectives would be achieved if the described policies and procedures were
complied with satisfactorily.
In addition to the procedures we considered necessary to render our opinion as
expressed in the previous paragraph, we applied tests to specific policies and
procedures, listed in Section I, to obtain evidence about their effectiveness in
meeting the control objectives, described in Section I during the period from
July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. The nature, timing, extent, and results of the
tests are listed in Section II. In our opinion the policies and procedures that
were tested, as described in Section II, were operating with sufficient
effectiveness to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the
control objectives specified in Section I were achieved during the period from
July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. However, the scope of our engagement did not
include tests to determine whether control objectives not listed in Section I
were achieved; accordingly we express no opinion on the achievement of control
objectives not included in Section I.
The relative effectiveness and significance of specific policies and procedures
at State Street, and their effect on assessments of control risk on the Funds
are dependent on their interaction with the policies, procedures, and other
factors present at individual Funds. We have performed no procedures to
evaluate the effectiveness of policies and procedures at individual Funds in
connection with this report.
The description of policies and procedures at State Street is as of June 30,
1996, and information about tests of the operating effectiveness of specified
policies and procedures covers the period from July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996.
Any projection of such information to the future is subject to the risk that,
because of change, the description may no longer portray the system in
existence. The potential effectiveness of specified policies and procedures at
State Street is subject to inherent limitations and, accordingly, errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Furthermore, the projection of
any conclusions, based on our findings, to future periods is subject to the risk
that changes may alter the validity of such conclusions.
This report is intended solely for use by the management and Boards of
Directors/Trustees of the Funds, the independent auditors of the Funds and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION I
Policies and Procedures Placed in Operation
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
The Prudential Mutual Funds (the "Funds") have adopted a multiple class pricing
system. The multiple class pricing system consists of four classes of shares
(Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z). Class A shares are subject to an
initial sales charge, Class B and Class C shares are subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge and Class Z shares have no sales charge (Class Z shares
which were first offered on March 1, 1996, are offered exclusively for sale to
the PSI Pension Plan). Each of the classes of shares represent interests in the
same portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and are identical in all
respects, except that each class is subject to different distribution expenses
and has exclusive voting rights with respect to the Rule 12b-1 distribution plan
pursuant to which such distribution expenses are paid.
In order to allocate income and expenses among the classes of shares, State
Street Bank and Trust Company (the Funds' custodian and recordkeeper) utilizes
the Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet (the "Worksheet") (see Exhibit
I). The Worksheet is a manual supplementary application that extracts relevant
data from the Funds' primary accounting system, allocates income and expenses
among the classes of shares and computes the daily net asset value and, if
applicable, the dividend/distribution for each class of shares. Internal
accounting controls that are relevant to the Fund can be divided into two
components - controls related to the mutual fund accounting system resident at
State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "primary accounting system") and
controls related to the Worksheet.
The specific control objectives and policies and procedures relating to the
Worksheet are described on pages 4 and 5. A description of the tests of the
policies and procedures designed to obtain evidence about the operating
effectiveness of those policies and procedures in achieving the specific control
objectives is included in Section II.
Control Objectives and Policies and Procedures
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
The Worksheet is a supplementary manual application to the Funds' primary
accounting system. Certain data is extracted from the primary accounting system
to allocate income and expenses and to calculate the daily net asset value and,
if applicable, dividends/distributions for each class of shares. The primary
accounting system includes the details of transactions in accordance with the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The following represents the internal accounting control objectives and policies
and procedures for the allocation of income and expenses and the computation of
the net asset value and, if applicable, the dividend/distribution for each class
of shares utilizing the Worksheet. It does not cover the internal accounting
control policies and procedures surrounding the processing of information into
the Funds' primary accounting system.

SECTION II
Tests of Operating Effectiveness
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996
We reviewed the methodology and procedures for calculating the daily net asset
value and, if applicable, the dividends/distributions of the classes of shares
and the allocation of income and expenses among the classes of shares.
The following are the detailed procedures which we performed with respect to the
Worksheet. These procedures were performed for selected days encompassing all
Funds subject to multiple class pricing during the year ended June 30, 1996,
which we believe is a representative sample, to test compliance with the control
policies and procedures as described in Section I.
Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc. is the manager of the Funds and has
represented to us that adequate facilities are in place to ensure implementation
of the methodology and procedures for calculating the net asset value and
dividends/distributions of the classes of shares and the allocation of income
and expenses among the classes of shares. Based on our review of the
description of the policies and procedures of the Worksheet, as described in
Section I, and performance of tests of operating effectiveness as described in
Section II, we concur with such representation.
