             DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

LOGO
                         We are pleased to provide you with
the semi-annual
                         report for the six months ended
June 30, 1995,
                         including the portfolio of
investments, for the Smith
                         Barney Telecommunications Growth
Fund. As you know, the
             Fund's primary objective is to provide capital
appreciation through
             common stock investment; income is a secondary
objective. The
             Fund's holdings are concentrated in the areas
of communications,
             telecommunications and technology.

             The Fund's Class A total return (income plus
change in share price)
             was 8.40% for the first six months of 1995. By
comparison, the
             Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, an unmanaged
index used to
             portray common stock price movement of large
U.S. companies, was up
             20.19%. The Fund underperformed this index
because of concerns
             generated by pending regulatory and legislative
actions, as well as
             by the unveiling of major capital spending
plans to upgrade phone
             networks to provide video, wireless and
somewhat ill-defined
             "information superhighway" services. With fears
of entry barriers
             coming down (deregulation and demonopolization
are now common
             terminology), as well as capital investment
requirements
             accelerating, it was difficult for investors to
maintain faith that
             managements, amidst all the change and
spending, would continue to
             successfully operate their existing core
businesses and, at the
same time, make value-enhancing long-term strategic
decisions.

We continue to believe that we are on the threshold of a
telecommunications
revolution that will impact societies across the globe. The
recognition of
growth in the areas of information access and communications
has increased
almost as fast as the leaps in technology associated with
this revolution. This
second wave of telecommunications stock recognition has been
centered on those
companies that are most directly involved in increasing
computer power,
digitizing data, increasing band-width and expanding and
simplifying access
through software, networking and providing online services.
Our goal is to
identify and invest in those stocks for the Fund.

<PAGE>

The debate in Congress over universal service and
deregulation with restriction
has hurt telephone, cable, cellular, and multimedia stocks,
most of which have
not participated in the most recent telecom boom. There is
no doubt this
information-communication revolution is going to be a major
engine of growth and
change well into the next millennium. Investors, no doubt,
recognize this. But,
at times, the influence of an economic slowdown or change in
regulation is not
correctly anticipated.

We believe the telecommunications sector will be a
predominant growth area in
the second half of this decade.

Thank you again for your continued confidence in the Fund.

Sincerely,

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Smith Barney Telecommunications Trust (the "Trust") was
organized as an
unincorporated business trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of
Massachusetts by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated
June 2, 1983. The
Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940
Act"), as a
non-diversified, open-end management investment company,
consisting of two
portfolios, Smith Barney Telecommunications Growth Fund (the
"Fund") and Smith
Barney Telecommunications Income Fund, each with a separate
investment
objective. Each commenced operations on January 1, 1984, by
issuing shares of
the Trust in a tax-free exchange for shares of American
Telephone & Telegraph
Company with rights to the divested Bell regional operating
companies attached.
At the time of this report the Fund offered four classes of
shares: Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold
with a front-end
sales charge. Class B and Class C shares may be subject to a
contingent deferred
sales charge ("CDSC") upon redemption. Class B shares will
convert automatically
to Class A shares approximately eight years after the date
of original purchase.
Class Y shares are available to investors making an initial
investment of at
least $5 million and are not subject to any sales charges,
distribution or
service fees. As of June 30, 1995, no Class Y shares had
been sold. All classes
of shares have identical rights and privileges except with
respect to the effect
of the respective sales charges, the distribution and/or
service fees borne by
each class, expenses allocable exclusively to each class,
voting rights on
matters affecting a single class, the exchange privilege of
each class and the
conversion feature of Class B shares. The following is a
summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the
preparation of its
financial statements:

Portfolio valuation:  Investments in securities which are
traded on a national
securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales
price or, in the
absence of a recorded sale, at the mean of the closing bid
and asked prices.
Over-the-counter securities are valued at the closing bid
price. Short-term
investments with maturities of 60 days or less from the
valuation date are
valued on the basis of amortized cost.

Repurchase agreements:  The Fund engages in repurchase
agreement transactions.
Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund
takes possession of
an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of
the seller to
repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an
agreed-upon price and
time, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's
holding period. This
arrangement results in a

14

Telecommunications Growth Fund

- --------------------
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------

fixed rate of return that is not subject to market
fluctuations during the
Fund's holding period. The value of the collateral is at
least equal at all
times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations,
including interest. In
the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to
use the collateral
to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the
Fund in the event that
the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights
to dispose of the
collateral securities including the risk of a possible
decline in the value of
the underlying securities during the period while the Fund
seeks to assert its
rights. The Fund's investment adviser or sub-investment
adviser, acting under
the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value
of the collateral
and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with
which the Fund enters
into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

Securities transactions and investment income:  Securities
transactions are
recorded as of the trade date. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual
basis. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are
recorded on the
identified cost basis. Investment income, realized and
unrealized gains and
losses are allocated based upon relative net assets of each
class.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders:  Dividends from
net investment
income determined on a class level, if any, of the Fund are
declared once a
year, normally at the end of the year in which they were
earned or at the
beginning of the next year. Distributions determined on a
Fund level, if any, of
any net short and long-term capital gains earned by the Fund
will be made
annually after the close of the fiscal year in which they
are earned. Additional
distributions of net investment income and capital gains
from the Fund may be
made at the discretion of the Trust's Board of Trustees in
order to avoid the
application of a 4.00% nondeductible excise tax on certain
undistributed amounts
of ordinary income and capital gains.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions on a
Fund level are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which
may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
are primarily due to
differing treatments of income and gains on various
investment securities held
by the Fund, timing differences and differing
characterization of distributions
made by the Fund as a whole.

Federal taxes:  It is the Fund's policy to qualify as a
regulated investment
company, if such qualification is in the best interest of
its shareholders, by
complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as
amended, applicable

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

to regulated investment companies and by distributing
substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal
income tax provision
is required.

2.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND OTHER
TRANSACTIONS

The Trust on behalf of the Fund has entered into an
investment advisory
agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Smith Barney
Strategy Advisers Inc.
("SBSA"), a division of Smith Barney Mutual Funds
Management, Inc. ("SBMFM").
SBMFM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("Holdings"),
which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Travelers
Group Inc. Under this
agreement, the Fund paid a monthly fee at the annual rate of
0.55% of the value
of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Fund has entered into a sub-investment advisory
agreement (the "Sub-Advisory
Agreement") with the Boston Company Advisors, Inc. ("Boston
Advisors"), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation
("Mellon"). Under
the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, SBSA pays Boston
Advisors a monthly fee
at an annual rate based on the value of the Fund's average
daily net assets.

The Fund has also entered into an administration agreement
(the "Administration
Agreement') with SBMFM. For administrative services rendered
the Fund pays SBMFM
a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.20% of the value of the
Fund's average
daily net assets.

The Fund and SBMFM have also entered into a sub-
administration agreement (the
"Sub-Administration Agreement") with Boston Advisors. Under
the
Sub-Administration Agreement, SBMFM pays Boston Advisors a
portion of its
administration fee at a rate agreed upon from time to time
between SBMFM and
Boston Advisors.

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Fund incurred
total brokerage
commissions of $21,522 of which $6,250 was paid to Smith
Barney Inc. ("Smith
Barney").

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, Smith Barney
received from investors
$30,069 representing commissions (sales charges) on sales of

purchase. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, Smith

No officer, director or employee of Smith Barney, or any of
its affiliates
receives any compensation from the Trust for serving as a
Trustee or officer of
the Trust. The Trust pays each Trustee who is not an
officer, director or
employee of Smith Barney or any of its affiliates $4,500 per
annum plus $250 for
each meeting attended and reimburses each such Trustee for
travel and
out-of-pocket expenses.

owned subsidiary of
Mellon, serves as the Trust's custodian. The Shareholder
Services Group, Inc., a
subsidiary of First Data Corporation, serves as the Trust's
transfer agent.

3.  DISTRIBUTION PLAN

Smith Barney acts as distributor of the Fund's shares
pursuant to a distribution
agreement with the Fund, and sells shares of the Fund
through Smith Barney or
its affiliates.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act the Fund has
adopted a services and
distribution plan (the "Plan"). Under this Plan, the Fund
compensates Smith
Barney for servicing shareholder accounts for Class A, Class
B and Class C
shareholders, and covers expenses incurred in distributing
Class B and Class C
shares. Smith Barney is paid an annual service fee with
respect to Class A,
Class B and Class C shares of the Fund at the rate of 0.25%
of the value of the
average daily net assets of each respective class of shares.
Smith Barney is
also paid an annual distribution fee with respect to Class B
and Class C shares
at the rate of 0.75% of the value of the average daily net
assets attributable
to those shares. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the
Fund paid service
fees of $98,762, $217,128 and $513 for Class A, Class B and
Class C shares,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the
Fund paid $651,385 and
$1,538 in distribution fees for Class B and Class C shares,
respectively.

4.  EXPENSE ALLOCATION

Expenses of the Fund not directly attributable to the
operations of any class of
shares are prorated among the classes based upon the
relative net assets of each
class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a class
of shares are charged
to that class' operations. In addition to the above service
and distribution
fees, class specific operating expenses include transfer
agent fees. For the six
months ended June 30,

7.  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT

Because the Fund concentrates its investments in one
industry, its portfolio may
be subject to greater risk and market fluctuations than a
portfolio of
securities representing a broader range of investment
alternatives. The risks
could adversely affect the ability and inclination of the
issuers within the
telecommunications industry to declare or pay dividends or
interest and the
ability of holders of securities to realize any value from
the assets of the
issuer upon liquidation or bankruptcy.

8.  CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD

As of December 31, 1994, the Fund had available for Federal
tax purposes an
unused capital loss carryforward of $5,387,295 expiring in
the year 2002.

9.  LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund and several affiliated entities participate in a
$50 million line of
credit provided by Bank of America, N.A. under an Amended
and Restated Line of
Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") dated April 30, 1992, and
renewed effective
May 31, 1994, primarily for temporary or emergency purposes,
including the
meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require
the untimely
disposition of securities. The Fund may borrow up to the
lesser of $25 million
or 25% of its net assets. However, pursuant to the Fund's
prospectus, the Fund
may only borrow up to 10% of its net assets. Under the terms
of the Agreement,
as amended, the Fund and the other affiliated entities are
charged an aggregate
commitment fee of $100,000 which is allocated equally among
each of the
participants. The Agreement requires, among other
provisions, each participating
fund to maintain a ratio of net assets (not including funds
borrowed pursuant to
the Agreement) to aggregate amount of indebtedness pursuant
to the Agreement of
no less than 5 to 1. During the six months ended June 30,
1995, the Fund did not
borrow under the Agreement.
