RE: RULE 24f-2 NOTICE FOR TRUST FOR FEDERAL SECURITIES -- FEDFUND,
T-FUND, FEDCASH, T-CASH, FEDERAL TRUST FUND, TREASURY TRUST
FUND, AND SHORT GOVERNMENT FUND (REGISTRATION NO. 2-53808)
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Trust for Federal Securities, a
Pennsylvania business trust (the "Company"), and have been informed by the
Company of the registration pursuant to Rule 24f-2 of 15,523,489,458 shares of
beneficial interest ("shares") in the Company's FedFund portfolio ("FedFund
Portfolio Shares"), 10,821,054,074 shares in the Company's T-Fund portfolio
("T-Fund Portfolio Shares") 3,810,330,076 shares in the Company's FedCash
portfolio ("FedCash Portfolio Shares"), 2,093,230,066 shares in the Company's
T-Cash portfolio ("T-Cash Portfolio Shares") 2,077,150,172 shares in the
Company's Federal Trust Fund portfolio ("Federal Trust Portfolio Shares"),
6,129,329,810 shares in the Company's Treasury Trust Fund portfolio ("Treasury
Trust Portfolio Shares") and 20,355,900 shares in the Company's Short
Government Fund portfolio ("Short Government Portfolio Shares") (collectively
hereinafter referred to as "Portfolio Shares") under the Securities Act of
1933. During the Company's fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, all of the
foregoing Portfolio Shares were registered pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of Portfolio Shares, without par value.
We have reviewed the Company's Declaration of Trust, as amended, its
By-Laws, resolutions adopted by its Board of Trustees and shareholders, the
Company's Rule 24f-2 Notice dated
<PAGE> 5
TRUST FOR FEDERAL SECURITIES
DECEMBER 27, 1995
PAGE 2
December 27, 1995, and such other legal and factual matters as we have deemed
appropriate.
On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
aforementioned Portfolio Shares registered pursuant to Rule 24f-2 were, when
issued for payment as described in the Company's Prospectuses, validly issued,
fully paid, and non-assessable by the Company.
Under Pennsylvania law, shareholders could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the Company.
However, the Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder liability for acts or
obligations of the Company and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given
in any written agreement, undertaking or obligation made or issued on behalf of
the Company. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the
assets of the Company for all loss and expense of any shareholder held
personally liable solely by reason of his or her being or having been a
shareholder. Thus, the risk of a shareholder's incurring financial loss on
account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the
Company itself would be unable to meet its obligations.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as part of the Company's Rule 24f-2 Notice.
Very truly yours,
/s/ DRINKER BIDDLE & REATH
