Dear Sir/Madam:
I refer to the Rule 24f-2 Notice for File No. 2-73223 of Security Tax-Exempt
Fund, a Kansas corporation, hereinafter referred to as the "Company," being
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of reporting
under the Securities Act of 1933 the 405,491 shares of the $.10 par value
capital stock of the Company sold during the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995.
I have examined the Articles of Incorporation and the bylaws of the Company,
minutes of the applicable meetings of the Board of Directors and stockholders of
the Company, and other corporate records, applicable certificates of public
officials, and other documents I have deemed relevant.
Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
(1) The Company is duly organized, existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Kansas.
(2) The Company has authorization to sell 1 billion shares of capital stock of
the par value of $.10 per share pursuant to an indefinite registration of
such shares made effective October 21, 1983.
(3) All necessary corporate actions have been taken to authorize the sale by
the Company, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, 405,491
shares (dollar aggregate sale price of $3,895,549) of the Company, and,
upon the sale by the Company of those shares, they were duly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the inclusion in said Rule 24f-2 Notice of my foregoing
opinion filed as Exhibit 1 thereto.
Very truly yours,
Amy J. Lee
