                              A MONEY MARKET FUND
                              SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
                                 June 30, 1995
 
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
On June 30, 1995 Fund for Government Investors, Inc. net assets were $579
million. Net income as a percentage of net assets averaged 5.09% for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, up from 3.31% for the year ended December 31,
1994.
 
There has been a radical change in expectations concerning the Federal
Reserve's policy since the beginning of 1995. Early in the year, it was
expected the Federal Reserve would continue with its dramatic raising of
interest rates. That view was supported in February, when the Fed increased
the Federal Fund's rate 50 basis points to 6%. Since then, a steady stream of
weak economic news has changed expectations to a Fed easing. In July, the
Federal Reserve did indeed cut the Federal Fund's rate 25 basis points to 5
3/4%.
 
Looking to the remainder of the year, we expect mild growth in the economy.
There is little threat of recession since there are no sector imbalances and
interest rates have retreated from their highs. This should limit the Federal
Reserve on interest rate cuts. However, we do look for one more rate cut by
year end.
 
Going forward, Fund for Government Investors, Inc. will maintain its
conservative investment philosophy, and as always, safety of assets will be
our primary concern. Thank you for your continued support.

 
/s/ Daniel L. O'Connor                       /s/ Richard J. Garvey

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1995
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Fund for Government Investors, Inc. is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and invests only
in U.S. Government Securities. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies which the Fund consistently follows:
 
    (a) Investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
        value. Amortized cost is the purchase price of the security plus
        accumulated discount or minus amortized premium from the date of
        purchase.
 
    (b) Investment income is recorded as earned.
 
    (c) Net investment income is computed, and dividends are declared daily.
        Dividends are paid monthly and reinvested in additional shares
        unless shareholders request payment.
 
    (d) The Fund complies with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
        applicable to regulated investment companies and distributes all net
        investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income
        tax provision is required.
 
2. INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENT
 
Investment advisory and management services are provided by Money Management
Associates under an agreement whereby the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate
based on the Fund's net assets as follows: 0.50% of the first $500 million;
0.45% of the next $250 million; 0.40% of the next $250 million; and 0.35% of
the net assets that exceed $1 billion. Certain officers and Directors of the
Fund are also officers and Directors of Money Management Associates.
 
Rushmore Trust and Savings, FSB, which is wholly owned by Money Management
Associates, provides custodial services, transfer agency, dividend disbursing
and other shareholder services to the Fund. Rushmore Trust is paid an
administrative fee of 0.25% of average net assets to cover the cost of these
services as well as other expenses of the Fund except for interest and
extraordinary legal expenses.
