Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion in connection with the
registration by Automated Government Money Trust ("Trust") of an
additional 598,426,073 Shares of Beneficial Interest ("Shares")
pursuant to Post-effective Amendment No. 21 to the Trust's
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 2-77822).
The subject Post-effective Amendment will be filed pursuant to
Paragraph (b) of Rule 485 and become effective pursuant to said
Rule immediately upon filing.
As counsel we have participated in the organization of the
Trust and its registration under the Investment Company Act. We
have also participated in the preparation and filing of the
Trust's amended registration statement under the Securities Act
of 1933 referred to above. We have examined and are familiar
with the provisions of the written Declaration of Trust dated
June 1, 1982, ("Declaration of Trust"), the Bylaws of the Trust
and such other documents and records deemed relevant. We have
also reviewed questions of law and consulted with counsel thereon
as deemed necessary or appropriate by us for the purposes of this
opinion.
On the basis of the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The Trust is duly organized and validly existing
pursuant to the Declaration of Trust.
2. The Shares which are currently being registered by the
Registration Statement referred to above may be legally and
validly issued from time to time in accordance with the
Declaration of Trust upon receipt of consideration sufficient to
comply with the provisions of Article III, Section 3, of the
Declaration of Trust and subject to compliance with the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, and applicable state laws regulating the
sale of securities. Such Shares, when so issued, will be fully
paid and non-assessable.
3. Post-effective Amendment No. 21 does not contain
disclosures which would render it ineligible to become effective
pursuant to Paragraph (b) of Rule 485.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as a part of
the Trust's registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and as a
part of any application or registration statement filed under the
securities laws of the States of the United States. We further
consent to the reference to this opinion and the reference to us
as counsel to the Trust in the prospectus, registration
statements and applications.
Very truly yours,
Houston, Houston & Donnelly
