+Current annualized distribution rate is the latest monthly dividend shown as an
annualized percentage of net asset value on March 31, 1996. Distribution rate
simply measures the level of dividends and is not a complete measure of
performance. The SEC yield is net investment income per share earned over the
month ended March 31, 1996 shown as an annualized percentage of the maximum
offering price on that date. The SEC yield is computed in accordance with the
standardized method prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Tax
equivalent yield is based on the fund's yield and a 37.1% marginal federal
income tax rate. Income may be subject to state and local taxes and, for some
investors, a portion may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.

GENERAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
[TIMBERS PHOTO]
Stephen B. Timbers is president, chief executive and chief investment officer
of Zurich Kemper Investments, (ZKI) Inc. ZKI and its affiliates manage
approximately $79 billion in assets, including $45 billion in retail mutual
funds. Timbers is a graduate of Yale University and holds an M.B.A. from
Harvard University.
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The first four months of 1996 have provided a few surprises. As the year began,
most of us expected sluggish economic and corporate growth -- which the Federal
Reserve Board would address by reducing short-term interest rates. Yet, what we
experienced was stronger-than-anticipated economic growth, better corporate
earnings and rising interest rates. Although such surprises unsettled the bond
market, the stock market followed a spectacular 1995 with a strong first quarter
in 1996. In the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, the Standard & Poor's
500 Stock Index* gained 5.37 percent.
Where is the economy headed now? Its direction is even less predictable as we
draw nearer to the November elections. Half of the country's leading economists
are forecasting 3 percent growth while an equal number are looking for no better
than 1 percent growth. At Kemper Funds, we suspect that the economy is growing
at a subpar rate of 2 percent. Although commodity prices may suggest otherwise,
we think inflation is holding at less than 3 percent. We see no reason to expect
the Fed to reduce rates to stimulate growth but neither is it likely to raise
rates to control growth. In an environment of stable or gently rising rates, we
would expect corporate earnings to grow at a rate of about 7 to 8 percent --
that's somewhat higher than we believed likely at the start of the year.
Our forecast calls for a generally comfortable environment for investors. But
both the economy and the general direction of the markets are due for a
reversal. In April, the U.S. economy entered its 61st month of consecutive
growth. This is the longest expansion without a single quarter of negative
output growth since George Washington was president. Today's bull market started
in October 1990, which makes it one of the longest running bull markets in
history. By virtue of its length alone, the stock market is vulnerable to a
correction.
As expected, volatility has returned to the market this year. For example: The
stock market's performance on March 8, the date that a surprisingly strong
employment report was released, betrayed some level of investor skittishness.
But while the Standard & Poor's lost 3.1 percent that day, it quickly regained
the ground and moved higher.
CONSUMERS AND JOB SECURITY
The restructuring of corporate America, which is generally credited for its
improved profitability, has been an important influence on the consumer.
Economic growth is heavily dependent upon consumer spending which, in turn, is
a function of inflation, pay raises and fear of job loss. While the first two
have not been a recent concern, fear of losing one's job has dampened consumer
confidence.
Such anxiety in the workplace was the subject of a recent study by the
Council of Economic Advisors. According to that report, more than two-thirds of
the new jobs created in the United States in 1994 and 1995 paid better than the
average job. The report found that the rate at which jobs were eliminated has
risen slightly despite strong economic growth of recent years -- however, it
reported that the length of time most workers spent unemployed has declined.
The graph below tracks Bureau of Labor Statistics data that show the recent
relationship between number of jobs created versus the number of jobs lost.

Economic activity is a key influence on investment performance and shareholder
decision-making. Periods of recession or boom, inflation or deflation, credit
expansion or credit crunch have a significant impact on mutual fund
performance.
The following are some significant guideposts and their investment rationale
that may help your investment decision-making. The 10-year Treasury rate and
the prime rate are prevailing interest rates. The other data report
year-to-year percentage changes.

Such ebb and flow is to be expected in investing, especially at this point in
the cycle. Attempting to "prepare" for a correction is futile, we believe. Those
whose caution caused them to excuse themselves from the market early this year,
for example, would have forgone the quarter's significant gain.
Several opportunities exist today for the careful investor. First, having
settled down some from a raucous 1995, the technology sector continues to enjoy
the product and market demand that make it the dominant sector of the 1990s.
Second, equity investors willing to look overseas may find opportunities in
countries whose economies today are at a point where the U.S. economy was in
1995. Our forecast assumes that strength in foreign markets could boost those
countries' currencies, which would weaken the value of the dollar.
We expect the fixed-income markets to continue to be sensitive to interest
rate and inflation news. However, for as long as economic growth is positive and
earnings are growing, we believe the high-yield market is one market segment
that has significant potential.
Finally, we look for political activity to have less and less bearing on the
markets' performance. Although they may continue to debate tax reform, federal
budget deficit reduction and health care reform, the incumbent legislators are
running out of time to take action before the November elections. If there is
any suspense by November, it is likely to be in whether the Republicans can
retain control of Congress. Their success would make a balanced budget and tax
reform likely agenda topics for 1997.
With that as an economic backdrop, we encourage you to read the following
detailed report of your fund, including an interview with your fund's portfolio
management. Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate the opportunity
to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,

PERFORMANCE UPDATE
[MIER PHOTO]
CHRIS MIER JOINED ZURICH KEMPER INVESTMENTS, INC. IN 1986 AND IS NOW SENIOR VICE
PRESIDENT AND PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF KEMPER MUNICIPAL BOND FUND AND KEMPER
INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND. MIER RECEIVED A B.A. DEGREE IN ECONOMICS FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AND WENT ON TO RECEIVE AN M.M. IN FINANCE FROM THE
KELLOGG GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT AT NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER ONLY
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT, AS STATED ON THE COVER. THE
MANAGER'S VIEWS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME, BASED ON MARKET AND OTHER
CONDITIONS.
KEMPER NATIONAL TAX-FREE INCOME FUNDS PORTFOLIO MANAGER CHRIS MIER, DISCUSSES
THE STRONG TRACK RECORD OF THE INDUSTRY'S FIRST MUNICIPAL BOND FUND -- KEMPER
MUNICIPAL BOND FUND AND OFFERS HIS VIEWS ON INTEREST RATES AND THEIR EFFECT ON
MUNICIPAL INVESTMENTS.
Q. KEMPER'S NATIONAL TAX-FREE FUNDS POSTED STRONG RETURNS FOR THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD, OCTOBER 1, 1995, THROUGH MARCH 31, 1996. WHAT WAS BEHIND THIS
PERFORMANCE?
A. The investment environment was positive for municipal bonds during most
of the period. From October 1995, to January 1996, interest rates fell, there
was optimism that a federal budget resolution would occur and inflation
remained low. In addition, economic indicators suggested that the economy,
while growing, was slowing down somewhat due to severe weather conditions and
other factors.
All of these factors created a favorable climate for the municipal market,
and bond prices appreciated. THE BOND BUYER 25-Bond Revenue Bond Index (RBI) --
a gauge of municipal bond interest rates -- began the period at 6.27 percent on
September 28, 1995, and fell to a low of 5.63 percent on January 4, 1996.
In January, however, the bond rally began to lose some steam. Data
indicated that the economic slowdown may have been related mostly to the impact
of severe weather as opposed to any fundamental weakness. Moreover, focus in
Washington moved away from addressing the federal budget and deficit reduction
proposals toward other issues. As optimism about deficit reduction began to
fade, yields began to rise. On March 28, 1996, the RBI had reached a high of
6.15 percent.
Q. WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE IN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES BETWEEN THE
FUNDS?
A. Our investment strategy for the funds is quite similar. Kemper Municipal
Bond Fund, which was America's first municipal bond fund, celebrates its 20th
anniversary this year. The fund, now one of the largest tax-free income funds
in the industry, has outperformed the Lipper Analytical General Municipal Bond
Fund category for all standard time periods through March 31, 1996. It was this
track record of success that lead to the introduction of Kemper Intermediate
Municipal Bond Fund in November 1994.
The primary difference between the funds, however, is that the portfolio of
Kemper Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund has a shorter average maturity than
Kemper Municipal Bond Fund. In the intermediate-term fund, the average maturity
of the portfolio will generally be between five and 10 years, while in Kemper
Municipal Bond Fund, the average maturity of the portfolio is likely to fall
within the 12-22 year range. It's this difference in average maturities that led
to a
5

PERFORMANCE UPDATE
stronger return for Kemper Municipal Bond Fund during the period. As interest
rates fall, which is what occurred throughout much of the period, bonds with
longer maturities generally have greater price appreciation than shorter-term
investments. The opposite would generally be true when interest rates rise.
Q. HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED DURING THE PERIOD?
A. At the start of the fiscal year, we continued to believe that interest
rates would move lower. To take advantage of the potential decline, we
maintained the funds' relatively long durations. Duration is a measurement of a
portfolio's sensitivity to interest rates. The longer a fund's duration, the
more sensitive it is to interest rate changes.
Our longer duration stance generally served the funds well for most of the
period. In January, however, we began to shorten durations and the volatility of
the funds by making adjustments in the portfolios' bond holdings.
Q. WAS SUPPLY A POSITIVE FACTOR FOR THE FUND DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Supply picked up during the last few months of 1995 but remained lower
than 1994 levels for the year as a whole. In 1996, supply remained higher
than comparable months in 1995.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON THE LIKELIHOOD OF TAX REFORM AND ITS EFFECT ON THE
MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET?
A. Talk of tax reform -- including a possible flat tax -- has raised
considerable interest in the media and among municipal bond investors. At this
writing, however, two important factors regarding these proposals are still
unknown: the shape such reform would take, and when it would be implemented.
Any tax change is likely to be significantly less radical than proposals being
touted recently. This is due to the political realities of getting major
legislation passed through Congress. If any specific legislation were to be
drafted and presented to Congress in 1997, it would likely be 1998 before the
start of any implementation.
The municipal market has already discounted the impact of possible tax reform
to a certain degree. Municipal bonds offer high tax equivalent yields in
relation to those available from Treasuries. If reform fails to materialize or
the market overcompensates for the risk of tax reform, we could be presented
with advantageous buying opportunities, which would likely help the performance
of municipal bonds.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 1996?
A. Our outlook is cautiously optimistic. We anticipate continued moderate
economic growth with inflation remaining under control. Although it is unlikely
that we'll see total returns of the magnitude of 1995, this year should
provide a reasonably positive environment for bond markets.
TERMS TO KNOW
DURATION Duration is a measure of the interest rate sensitivity of a
fixed-income investment or portfolio. The longer the duration, the greater the
interest rate risk.
REVENUE BOND INDEX (RBI) The average yield on 25 revenue bonds with 30-year
maturities compiled by THE BOND BUYER, a newspaper that covers the municipal
bond market.
TOTAL RETURN A fund's total return figure measures both the net investment
income generated by, and the effect of, any realized and unrealized appreciation
or depreciation of the underlying investments in its portfolio for the period.
Total return assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and it represents the
aggregate percent-age or dollar value change over the period.
YIELD A fund's yield is a measure of the net investment income per share earned
over a specific one month or 30-day period expressed as a percentage of the
maximum offering price of the fund's shares at the end of the period.

1 DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS The Kemper National Tax-Free Income Series (the
Trust) is an open-end, management investment
company comprised of Kemper Municipal Bond Fund
(Municipal Fund) and Kemper Intermediate Municipal
Bond Fund (Intermediate Municipal Fund). The
Intermediate Municipal Fund began offering shares
on November 1, 1994. The Trust is organized as a
business trust under the laws of Massachusetts.
The Funds offer four classes of shares. Class A
shares are sold to investors subject to an initial
sales charge. Class B shares are sold without an
initial sales charge but are subject to higher
ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a
contingent deferred sales charge payable upon
certain redemptions. Class B shares automatically
convert to Class A shares six years after issuance.
Class C shares are sold without an initial sales
charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses
than Class A shares and, for shares sold on or
after April 1, 1996, a contingent deferred sales
charge payable upon certain redemptions within one
year of purchase. Class C shares do not convert
into another class. Class I shares (none sold at
March 31, 1996) are offered to a limited group of
investors, are not subject to initial or contingent
deferred sales charges and have lower ongoing
expenses than other classes. Differences in class
expenses will result in the payment of different
per share income dividends by class. Each share of
a Fund represents an identical interest in the
investments of the Fund and has the same rights.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES INVESTMENT VALUATION. Investments are stated at
value. Fixed income securities are valued by using
market quotations, or independent pricing services
that use prices provided by market makers or
estimates of market values obtained from yield data
relating to instruments or securities with similar
characteristics. Exchange traded options are valued
at the last sale price unless there is no sale
price, in which event prices provided by market
makers are used. Over-the-counter traded options
are valued based upon prices provided by market
makers. Financial futures and options thereon are
valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are
traded. Other securities and assets are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by the Board
of Trustees.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME.
Investment transactions are accounted for on the
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is
executed). Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis and includes premium and original
discount amortization on fixed income securities.
Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are reported on an identified cost
basis.
EXPENSES. Expenses arising in connection with a

the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
available to investment companies for the six

investment income for that day, to holders of
shares for which payment has been received. Income
dividends are distributed monthly. Net realized
capital gains, if any, will be distributed at least
annually. Dividends are determined in accordance
with income tax principles which may treat certain
transactions differently than generally accepted
accounting principles.

6 FINANCIAL
FUTURES CONTRACTS The Funds have entered into exchange traded
financial futures contracts in order to help
protect themselves from anticipated market
conditions and, as such, bear the risk that arises
from owning these contracts.
At the time the Funds enter into a futures
contract, they are required to segregate liquid
assets with their custodian. Subsequently, gain or
loss is recognized and payments are made on a daily
basis between the Funds and the broker as the
market price of the futures contract fluctuates. At
March 31, 1996 the market values of assets
segregated by the Funds were $442,258,000 for the
Municipal Fund and $1,672,000 for the Intermediate
Municipal Fund for the following financial futures
contracts (in thousands):
