SIGNATURE VINCENT P. CORTI
TITLE SECRETARY
April 30, 1997
To the Board of Trustees of
EuroPacific Growth Fund
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements of EuroPacific Growth Fund (the "Fund") for the
year ended March 31, 1997, we considered its internal
control structure, including procedures for safeguarding
securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures
for the purposes of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and to comply with the requirements
of Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance on the
internal control structure.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing
and maintaining an internal control structure. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits
and related costs of internal control structure policies
and procedures. Two of the objectives of an internal
control structure are to provide management with
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
appropriately safeguarded against loss from unauthorized
use or disposition and that transactions are executed in
accordance with management's authorization and recorded
properly to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control
structure, errors or irregularities may occur and not be
detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the
structure to future periods is subject to the risk that it
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the effectiveness of the design and operation may
deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would
not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal
control structure that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a
condition in which the design or operation of the specific
internal control structure elements does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that errors or
irregularities in amounts that would be material in
relation to the financial statements being audited may
occur and not be detected within a timely period by
employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions. However, we noted no matters
involving the internal control structure, including
procedures for safeguarding securities, that we consider
to be material weaknesses as defined above as of March 31,
1997.
This report is intended solely for the information and use
of management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
