                  MAP-Government Fund, Inc.

             Supplement Dated December 30, 1997
              To Prospectus Dated May 1, 1997,
              As Supplemented November 5, 1997


      This supplement should be read in conjunction with the
MAP-Government  Fund,  Inc.  (the  "Fund")  prospectus,   as
supplemented  November  5, 1997, a  copy  of  which  can  be
obtained  without  charge  from  First  Priority  Investment
Corporation,  520  Broad Street, Newark, New  Jersey  07102,
ATTN: MAP-GOVERNMENT FUND, INC. or by telephoning 1-800-559-
5535.

The  following  replaces  the  second  paragraph  under  the
heading "THE FUND, ITS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES" on
page 4 of the prospectus:

MBL Life Assurance Corporation ("MBL Life") succeeded Mutual
Benefit  Life  as  sponsor of the Fund.   Certain  MBL  Life
subsidiaries  and affiliates, and entities involved  in  the
rehabilitation of MBL Life, also invest in the Fund.  As  of
December   23,   1997,  the  MBL  Life   subsidiaries'   and
affiliates'  and  rehabilitation-related  entities'   direct
investments in the Fund represented 96% of the Fund.  Such a
percentage   of  ownership  may  be  deemed  to   constitute
"control" of the Fund, as that term is defined in the Act.

Planned  redemptions by certain of the MBL Life subsidiaries
and  affiliates  and rehabilitation-related  entities  could
cause  the  Fund's current total annual operating  expenses,
currently  approximately  .63% of  average  net  assets,  to
increase.   However,  First Priority Investment  Corporation
("First  Priority"),  the  Fund's  investment  adviser   and
distributor,  has  agreed  to bear  total  annual  operating
expenses of the Fund (including the investment advisory  fee
but  excluding  taxes, interest, brokerage commissions,  and
extraordinary  expenses)  that exceed  .75%  of  the  Fund's
average daily net asset value.  First Priority has agreed to
limit  the  Fund's expenses in this manner through  December
31,  1998.  However, as we informed you by supplement to the
Fund's  prospectus  dated November 5,  1997,  the  Board  of
Directors  of MBL Life has publicly announced its  intention
to  explore opportunities for the sale of MBL Life.  If  MBL
Life  were  sold  before  December 31,  1998,  there  is  no
assurance that the expense limitation described above  would
remain  in  place.   In any event, this prospectus  will  be
supplemented  as necessary to advise you of any developments
related  to  the sale of MBL Life that pertain to  the  Fund
and/or related to the expense limitation described above.
