Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion for use in conjunction with a
Rule 24f-2 Notice for Government Income Securities, Inc. ("Fund")
to be filed in respect of shares of the Fund ("Shares") sold for
the fiscal year ended February 28, 1994, pursuant to the Fund's
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File
No. 2-74191) ("Registration Statement").
In its Registration Statement, the Fund elected to register
an indefinite number of Shares pursuant to the provisions of SEC
Rule 24f-2.
We have reviewed the amended Registration Statement of the
Fund and such other documents and records deemed relevant. On
the basis of the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares
sold for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1994, registration of
which the Rule 24f-2 Notice makes definite in number, were
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to your filing this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Rule 24f-2 Notice referred to above, the Registration Statement
of the Fund and to any application or registration statement
filed under the Securities Laws of any of the States of the
United States.
Very truly yours,
Houston, Houston & Donnelly
