                                 ANNUAL REPORT
                               December 31, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
     Fund for Government Investors, Inc. ended the year with net assets of
$577.2 million on December 31, 1995, an increase of $53 million for the year.
Net income averaged 4.93% of net assets for the year.

     After the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for more than a year, the
economy started to show signs of slowing in 1995. The slowing economy prompted
the Federal Reserve to reverse its course and reduce short-term rates in July by
25 basis points and again in December by an additional 25 basis points. This
reduction in short-term rates brought the Federal funds' rate down to 5.50%.

 
     The near term outlook continues to look sluggish with no recession
anticipated in 1996. With low inflation and continued slow growth, expectations
are that the Federal Reserve will again lower interest rates in 1996. Also
during the year, we expect the Administration and Congress to reach a balanced
budget agreement which should bode well for the economy.

     Going forward, Fund for Government Investors, Inc. will continue 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
 
                               December 31, 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 affiliated with Money Management Associates.
 
Rushmore Trust and Savings, FSB, a majority-owned subsidiary of 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.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


 
The Shareholders and Board of Directors
of Fund for Government Investors, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the statement of net assets of Fund for Government
Investors, Inc. (the Fund) as of December 31, 1995, the related statements of
operations for the year then ended and of changes in net assets for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the financial highlights for each of the
five years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at December
31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets of Fund for Government
Investors, Inc. at December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes
in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the respective stated
periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles .
