Exhibit 1
Sub-Item 77I
THE DREYFUS/LAUREL FUNDS TRUST
Dreyfus Premier Core Value Fund
On August 16, 1999, the Fund began offering Class T shares, in addition
to its existing classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and
Institutional shares.
Class T shares, like Class A, Class B and Class C shares, are sold
through third-party intermediaries. Class T shares are sold at net asset
value per share plus a maximum initial sales charge of 4.50% of the public
offering price imposed at the time of the purchase. Class T shares are
subject to the following front-end sales load schedule:
Amount of Transaction Front-End Sales Load
Less than $50,000 4.50%
$50,000 to less than 4.00%
$100,000
$100,000 to less than 3.00%
$250,000
$250,000 to less than 2.00%
$500,000
$500,000 to less than 1.50%
$1,000,000
$1,000,000 or more -0-
The initial sales charge may be reduced or waived for certain purchases.
Investors who purchase Class T shares in an amount of $1,000,000 or
more are not subject to a front-end sales load, but are subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% if they redeem such Class T shares
within one year after purchase.
Class T shares are subject to a distribution plan (the "Distribution
Plan") adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Rule") under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the
Fund pays its distributor, Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. (the
"Distributor"), a fee at the annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the
average daily net assets of Class T for distributing Class T shares. The
Distributor pays third-party intermediaries, out of the fee it receives
under the Distribution Plan, for advertising, marketing and other
distribution services for Class T shares. Pursuant to a service plan (the
"Service Plan") adopted under the Rule, the Fund pays Dreyfus Service
Corporation, an affiliate of The Dreyfus Corporation, and the Distributor a
fee at the annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the average daily net
assets of Class T for account service and maintenance for Class T
shareholders. The Distributor pays third-party intermediaries, out of the
fee it receives under the Service Plan, for providing such services to Class
T shareholders.
Each share has one vote and shareholders will vote in the aggregate and
not by class except as otherwise required by law or with respect to any
matter which affects only one class. Only holders of Class T shares will be
entitled to vote on matters submitted to shareholders pertaining to the
Distribution and/or Service Plan relating to that Class.
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust
In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of the
Dreyfus Premier Core Value Fund, the Dreyfus Premier Limited Term High
Income Fund and the Dreyfus Premier Managed Income Fund of The
Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust. (the "Funds") for the year ended December 31,
1999, we considered its internal control, 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
internal control.
The management of the Funds is responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments 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 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 internal control would not necessarily disclose all
matters in 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 of the internal control components does not reduce
to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error 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 internal control and its
operation, including procedures for safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of December 31, 1999.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management,
the Board of Directors of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust and the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
