                            RE:    Issuance and Sale of 138,967,880 Shares of
                                   Citizens Investment Trust; Rule 24f-2 Notice
                                   SEC File Nos. 2-80886; 811-3626

Ladies and Gentlemen:

       Citizens  Investment  Trust (the  "Trust") has  requested  our opinion in
connection  with  the sale by the  Trust of  138,967,880  shares  of the  Trust,
aggregating the sales of seven separate series (the "Shares")  during the period
July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996 inclusive  ("Fiscal 1996). We understand that
a copy  of  this  opinion  will  be  provided  to the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  pursuant to Rule  24f-2(b)(1)  under the  Investment  Company Act of
1940, as amended.

       We have examined  documents relating to the organization of the Trust and
the  authorization for registration and issuance of shares of the Trust. We have
also examined a certificate of the President of the Trust relating to the number
of shares of the Trust sold during Fiscal 1996.

       Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

       The  issuance  and sale of the  Shares  of the  Trust  have been duly and
validly authorized by all appropriate corporate action, and assuming delivery by
sale or in accord with the Trust's  dividend  reinvestment  plan,  in accordance
with the  description set forth in the Trust's  current  prospectuses  under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  the shares have been duly  authorized and were legally
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

       We consent to the  submission of a copy of this opinion to the Securities
and Exchange  Commission in connection with the filing of the Trust's Rule 24f-2
Notice for Fiscal 1996, as contemplated in Rule 24f-2(b)(1) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

       The opinion given above is subject to the condition  that the Trust shall
have  complied  with the  provision of any  applicable  laws,  regulations,  and
permits of any state or foreign country in which any of the Shares was sold.



                                                             Very truly yours,




                                                  /s/ Morrison & Foerster LLP
                                                      MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP
