Board of Directors and Shareholders
Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, Inc.

In planning and performing  our audits of the financial  statements of Permanent
Portfolio  Family  of  Funds,  Inc.  (comprising,  respectively,  the  Permanent
Portfolio,  the Treasury Bill  Portfolio,  the Versatile  Bond Portfolio and the
Aggressive  Growth  Portfolio)  for the fiscal year ended  January 31, 1997,  we
considered its internal control structure, including procedures for safeguarding
securities,  in order to determine  our auditing  procedures  for the purpose of
expressing  our  opinion  on the  financial  statements  and to comply  with the
requirements  of Form N-SAR,  not to provide  assurance on the internal  control
structure.

The management of Permanent  Portfolio Family of Funds,  Inc. is responsible for
establishing and maintaining an internal control  structure.  In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of internal control  structure  policies and
procedures.  Two of the  objectives  of an  internal  control  structure  are to
provide management with reasonable, but not absolute,  assurance that assets are
safeguarded   against  loss  from  unauthorized  use  or  disposition  and  that
transactions  are executed in accordance  with  management's  authorization  and
recorded  properly to permit  preparation of financial  statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of inherent  limitations in any internal  control  structure,  errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation
of the  structure  to future  periods  is subject to the risk that it may become
inadequate  because of changes in  conditions or that the  effectiveness  of the
design and operation may deteriorate.

Our  consideration  of the  internal  control  structure  would not  necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal  control  structure  that might be material
weaknesses  under standards  established by the American  Institute of Certified
Public  Accountants.  A material  weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of the specific internal control structure elements does not reduce to
a relatively  low level the risk that errors or  irregularities  in amounts that
would be  material in relation to the  financial  statements  being  audited may
occur and not be  detected  within a timely  period by  employees  in the normal
course of performing  their  assigned  functions.  However,  we noted no matters
involving the internal control structure,  including procedures for safeguarding
securities,  that we consider to be material  weaknesses  as defined above as of
January 31, 1997.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

March 24, 1997



                                  Exhibit 77b

 
Legal Proceedings

Following a routine examination of the Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, Inc.
(the "Fund") in 1991, the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "Commission")
instituted public administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings on January 13,
1997,  to determine the truth of  allegations  by the  Commission's  Division of
Enforcement   (the  "Division")  that  World  Money  Managers  and  World  Money
Securities, Inc., the Fund's investment adviser and a wholly owned investment of
the  Permanent  Portfolio,  respectively,  and two of the Fund's  directors  and
officers, Terry Coxon and Alan Sergy (collectively, the "Respondents"), violated
certain provisions of federal securities laws in fiscal years 1990 through 1992.
The  allegations  include  the  following:  that World Money  Managers  received
excessive  reimbursements  under the Fund's Marketing and Distribution Plan (the
"Marketing  Plan")  during  fiscal years ended  January 31, 1990 and 1991;  that
during  fiscal years 1990 through  1992,  the Fund's Board of Directors  did not
meet at the end of each  quarter  to  review  the  expenses  incurred  under the
Marketing Plan and that the reports thereon contained  insufficient detail; that
from  August 1990  through  July 1992,  the Fund's  Board of  Directors  did not
include the proportion of disinterested  directors as required by the Investment
Company Act of 1940,  as amended;  and in April 1990,  the  Permanent  Portfolio
acquired  a  "call  option"  prohibited  by the  Fund's  fundamental  investment
policies and managed the  investment for the advantage of a client of an officer
of the Fund. No charges have been made against the Fund.  The  Respondents  have
