Prudential Government Securities Trust
(Money Market Series)
Supplement dated May 12, 1995 to
Prospectus dated April 3, 1995
HOW THE TRUST INVESTS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Trustees of the Trust have approved modifications to the investment
policies and restrictions of the Trust's Money Market Series (the Series). These
changes, along with the modifications proposed to the Series' Distribution and
Service Plan described below under ``How the Trust is Managed--Distributor'',
will be submitted to shareholders for their approval at a special meeting
scheduled to be held in or about July 1995. The changes in the Series'
investment policies and restrictions will, among other things, permit it to
invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities with legal or contractual
restrictions on resale and other illiquid securities and, to the extent
otherwise appropriate, permit it to invest in securities which are subject to
put or call features. These changes will be described in more detail in the
proxy statement which will be mailed to shareholders.
HOW THE TRUST IS MANAGED
DISTRIBUTOR
The Trustees of the Trust have also approved modifications to the Series'
Distribution and Service Plan (the Plan) to change it from a reimbursement to a
compensation plan. Under the current Plan the Distributor is reimbursed for
certain ongoing costs actually incurred by it in connection with the services
and activities undertaken to distribute shares of the Series and service
shareholder accounts (Distribution Activities). As proposed to be amended, the
Plan would authorize the Series to pay the Distributor the same maximum annual
fee as under the current Plan as compensation for its Distribution Activities.
