TITLE ATTORNEY
Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Of Van Kampen Bond Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Van Kampen
Bond Fund for the year ended June 30, 1999, we considered its internal control,
including control activities 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.
The management of Van Kampen Bond Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgements by management are required to assess the expected benefits and
related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit
pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external
purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or fraud may occur
and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control 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 one or more specified internal control
components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or
fraud 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 and its operations, including control
for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as
defined above at June 30, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of
Trustees and management of Van Kampen Bond Fund and the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
