Re: Prudential Government Income Fund, Inc. - CIK No. 0000717819
Request for Withdrawal of Amendment to Registration Statement
on Form N-1A; File No. 2-82976
------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 to Registration Statement on Form N-1A
for the Prudential Government Income Fund, Inc. was submitted as [TYPE]
485B24E and accepted on May 1, 1995. We are hereby requesting withdrawal of
the submission because it was made under the wrong CIK number. Recently the
Fund changed its name from Prudential-Bache Government Plus Fund, Inc. to
Prudential Government Income Fund, Inc. It is believed that the name change
caused personnel at Merrill Corporation to inadvertently type in the wrong
CIK number (0000803181) instead of the correct CIK number (0000717819).
We are requesting withdrawal of the amendment pursuant to Rule 477(a)
under the Securities Act of 1933.
Sincerely,
/s/ Ellyn C. Acker
Assistant Secretary
