DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKET CONDITIONS

    Interest  rates  moved higher  throughout 1994  as the  fixed-income markets
focused on  the strong  pace of  economic growth  and the  potential for  higher
inflation.  Satisfied  that  economic  growth would  be  sustained,  the Federal
Reserve Board began  to tighten monetary  policy to one  of neutrality.  Between
February  and November, the central bank raised the federal-funds rate from 3.00
percent to 5.50  percent in  six stages.  This led to  a severe  bear market  in
bonds.

    Municipal  yields, as tracked  by THE BOND BUYER  Revenue Bond Index,* began
1994 at 5.52 percent, nearly a record  low. The Index peaked at 7.37 percent  in
November  and ended the year at 6.97 percent. The 145 basis point yield increase
during the year was equivalent to an 18 percent price decline for a bond with  a
30  year maturity. In contrast, over the  six-year period between 1987 and 1993,
yields fell from  9.00 percent to  5.50 percent and  bond prices appreciated  24
percent.

    The   municipal  bond   market's  weakness
paralleled  trends   in   other   fixed-income
sectors.  The  30-year  U.S.  Treasury  bond's
yield increased  160 basis  points and  closed
1994  at  7.84 percent.  During the  year, the
ratio of Revenue Bond Index yields to  30-year
U.S. Treasury bond yields ranged from a low of
85  percent to a high  of 92 percent and ended
the year  at 89  percent. (At  higher  ratios,
municipals  are  more  attractive  relative to
taxable investments.)

    The fiscal year was also marked by periods
of  supply/demand  imbalance  in   municipals.
Between  February and  May, dealer inventories
reached near-record levels as long-term  bonds
were  sold to  pay taxes and  increase cash. A
semblance of stability returned to the  market
between  June and August. However, after Labor
Day the market was again subject to a  renewed
round   of  bond  sales  as  fund  redemptions
mounted  and  tax-loss  selling   accelerated.
Market  conditions improved in December as the
"January effect"--the reinvestment of coupons,
redemptions  and  maturities  at  a  time   of
seasonally   scarce  supply--was  anticipated.
This seasonal pattern more than offset  market
uncertainty   caused  by  the  Orange  County,
California bankruptcy filing.  On December  6,
1994,  Orange County, one of the most affluent
areas in  the  country,  was  forced  to  seek
protection  after  its pooled  investment fund
faced unprecedented losses.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*THE BOND BUYER Revenue Bond Index is an arithmetic average of the yields of  25
selected  municipal  revenue bonds  with 30-year  maturities. Credit  ratings of
these bonds range  from Aa1  to Baa1  by Moody's  and AA+  to A-  by Standard  &
Poor's.

    Higher  interest  rates slowed  state  and local  government  debt issuance.
New-issue volume dropped 44 percent to  $163 billion in 1994. The driving  force
behind  this  sharp decline  was  the virtual  halt  in refunding  issues, which
plummeted 74 percent. Last year the level of redemptions from maturing debt  and
refunding  calls  reached $191  billion and  exceeded the  supply of  new issues
coming to market. This marked the decline in the amount of municipal  securities
outstanding. A repeat of this supply scarcity is expected in 1995 and bodes well
for the relative performance of municipals.

PERFORMANCE

    Dean Witter Select Municipal Reinvestment Fund's total return for the fiscal
year  ended December  31, 1994  was -5.98  percent. Tax  free dividends totaling
$0.69 per share were paid  during the year. At year  end, the Fund's net  assets
totaled  $86 million. Since inception the Fund has provided shareholders with an
average annual return of  8.54 percent. The  accompanying chart illustrates  the
performance  of a $10,000 investment  in the Fund over  the 10-year period ended
December 31, 1994, versus the  performance of a similar hypothetical  investment
in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

    During  a year of rapidly rising interest rates, the Fund benefited from its
established mix of older high-coupon bonds. At  the end of the fiscal year,  the
portfolio  held  9 percent  of its  net  assets in  refunded issues,  which were
secured by U.S. government securities held  in escrow to redeem these issues  on
their  first call dates.  The Fund also increased  its short-term investment and
cash position to 7 percent at year-end 1994.

    On December 31, 1994, the portfolio's long-term investments were diversified
among 11 specific municipal sectors and 48 credits. None of the Fund's  holdings
has  been identified as a participant in  the Orange County investment pool. The
three  largest  sectors  were  water  &  sewer,  transportation  facilities  and
educational facilities revenue bonds, representing 44 percent of net assets. The
average  maturity and call  protection of the Fund's  long-term holdings were 18
years and 7  years, respectively.  The credit-quality ratings  of the  long-term
portfolio are summarized below:

LOOKING AHEAD

    Moving  into  1995,  the  Fund  plans  to  reduce  its  defensive positions,
including refunded  bonds,  as the  pace  of economic  growth  and  inflationary
expectations  moderate. New investments  will continue to  stress credit quality
and essential service sectors.

    We  appreciate  your  ongoing  support  of  Dean  Witter  Select   Municipal
Reinvestment Fund and look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs.

                                        Very truly yours,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.     Organization  and  Accounting   Policies--Dean  Witter  Select  Municipal
Reinvestment Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "Act"),  as a diversified, open-end management  investment
company.  The Fund was  organized as a  Massachusetts business trust  on June 1,
1983 and commenced operations on September 22, 1983.

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

    A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--Portfolio securities are valued for the Fund by
    an outside independent pricing service approved by the Trustees. The pricing
    service  has  informed  the  Fund  that  in  valuing  the  Fund's  portfolio
    securities,  it uses both a computerized matrix of tax-exempt securities and
    evaluations by  its staff,  in  each case  based on  information  concerning
    market  transactions and quotations from dealers  which reflect the bid side
    of the market each day. The  Fund's portfolio securities are thus valued  by
    reference  to a combination  of transactions and quotations  for the same or
    other securities believed  to be  comparable in  quality, coupon,  maturity,
    type  of issue, call provisions,  trading characteristics and other features
    deemed to be relevant. Short-term debt securities having a maturity date  of
    more  than sixty  days at  time of purchase  are valued  on a mark-to-market
    basis until sixty days  prior to maturity and  thereafter at amortized  cost
    based  on their value on  the 61st day. Short-term  debt securities having a
    maturity date of sixty days  or less at the time  of purchase are valued  at
    amortized cost.

    B.  ACCOUNTING FOR  INVESTMENTS--Security transactions are  accounted for on
    the trade date (date the order to  buy or sell is executed). Realized  gains
    and  losses on security  transactions are determined  by the identified cost
    method. The Fund  amortizes premiums and  discounts on securities  purchased
    over the life of the respective securities. Interest income is accrued daily
    except where collection is not expected.

    C.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX  STATUS--It is the  Fund's policy to  comply with the
    requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
    companies and to distribute all of its taxable and nontaxable income to  its
    shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.

    D.  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO  SHAREHOLDERS--The Fund records dividends
    and distributions to  its shareholders  on the  record date.  The amount  of
    dividends  and  distributions from  net investment  income and  net realized
    capital  gains  are  determined  in  accordance  with  federal  income   tax
    regulations  which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
    These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
    nature. To  the  extent these  differences  are permanent  in  nature,  such
    amounts  are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal
    tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require  reclassification.
    Dividends  and  distributions which  exceed  net investment  income  and net
    realized capital  gains for  financial reporting  purposes but  not for  tax
    purposes  are reported  as dividends in  excess of net  investment income or
    distributions in excess of  net realized capital gains.  To the extent  they
    exceed  net  investment  income  and  net  realized  capital  gains  for tax
    purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

2.   Investment  Management  Agreement--Pursuant  to  an  Investment  Management
Agreement  with Dean  Witter InterCapital  Inc. (the  "Investment Manager"), the
Fund pays its  Investment Manager a  management fee, accrued  daily and  payable
monthly,  by applying the  annual rate of 0.50%  to the daily  net assets of the
Fund determined as of the close of each business day.

    Under the  terms  of the  Agreement,  in  addition to  managing  the  Fund's
investments,  the Investment Manager  maintains certain of  the Fund's books and
records and furnishes, at its own expense, office space,

facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and certain legal services and pays
the salaries of all personnel, including officers of the Fund who are  employees
of  the  Investment  Manager. The  Investment  Manager  also bears  the  cost of
telephone services, heat, light, power and other utilities provided to the Fund.

3.    Security  Transactions  and  Transactions  with  Affiliates--The  cost  of
purchases  and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term
investments, for the  year ended  December 31, 1994  aggregated $15,915,314  and
$19,602,361, respectively.

    Dean  Witter Trust Company,  an affiliate of the  Investment Manager, is the
Fund's transfer agent. At  December 31, 1994, the  Fund had transfer agent  fees
and expenses payable of approximately $31,000.

4.  Shares of Beneficial Interest--Transactions in shares of beneficial interest
were as follows:

To  the Shareholders and  Trustees of Dean  Witter Select Municipal Reinvestment
Fund.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the  portfolio of investments,  and the related statements  of operations and of
changes in  net assets  and  the financial  highlights  present fairly,  in  all
material  respects,  the  financial  position of  Dean  Witter  Select Municipal
Reinvestment Fund  (the  "Fund")  at  December 31,  1994,  the  results  of  its
operations  for the year then  ended, the changes in its  net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each  of
the  ten years in the  period then ended, in  conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  These  financial  statements  and  financial  highlights
(hereafter  referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Fund's management;  our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these
financial  statements  based on  our audits.  We conducted  our audits  of these
financial statements in  accordance with generally  accepted auditing  standards
which  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the  financial statements  are free of  material misstatement.  An
audit  includes examining, on a test  basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in  the financial  statements, assessing  the accounting  principles
used  and significant estimates  made by management,  and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe  that our  audits, which  included
confirmation of securities owned at December 31, 1994 by correspondence with the
custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
