Gentlemen:
You have requested my opinion in connection with the registration by
Automated Government Money Trust ("Trust") of an additional 865,606,663 Shares
of Beneficial Interest ("Shares") pursuant to Post-effective Amendment No. 27 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 I have participated in the preparation and filing of the
Trust's amended registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 referred
to above. Further, I have examined and am familiar with the provisions of the
Declaration of Trust dated June 1, 1982, ("Declaration of Trust"), the Bylaws of
the Trust and such other documents and records deemed relevant. I have also
reviewed questions of law and consulted with counsel thereon as deemed necessary
or appropriate by me for the purposes of this opinion.
On the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Trust is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
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 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 by the Trust.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as a part of the Trust's
registration statement referred to above and as a part of any application or
registration statement filed under the securities laws of the States of the
United States.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States
and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and I am expressing no
opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Matthew S. Hardin
Matthew S. Hardin
Fund Attorney
