        CHARLES W. STEADMAN                                February 17, 1997
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND PRESIDENT


Securities and Exchange Commission
450 5th Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20549

Dear Sirs:

        The Steadman Security Corporation and its affiliated mutual funds: 
Steadman Associated Fund, Steadman American Industry Fund, Steadman Investment
Fund, and Steadman Technology and Growth Fund ("Funds") received the 
resignation of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. on January 13, 1997 as independent 
accountants.

        The reports of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. on the financial statements for 
the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimers of opinion
and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting 
principle.

        In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and 
through January 13, 1997, there have been no disagreements with Coopers & 
Lybrand L.L.P. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial 
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. would have caused them 
to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such 
years.

        The Funds have requested that Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. furnish it with a
letter addressed to the SEC (see attached) stating whether or not it agrees with
the above statements.

        The Funds Board of Trustees approved Reznick, Fedder and Silverman as 
the new independent accountants of the Funds as of January 14, 1997. During the 
two most recent fiscal years and through January 13, 1997, the Funds have not 
consulted with Reznick and Silverman on items which (1) were or should have been
subject to SAS 50 or (2) concerned the subject matter of a disagreement or 
reportable event with the former auditor.

                                Sincerely,

                                /s/ Max Katcher

                Independent Auditors' Report on Internal Control

 


To the Board of Trustees of
Steadman Technology and Growth Fund

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements and financial
highlights of Steadman Technology and Growth Fund for the year ended June 30,
1997, we considered its internal control structure, including procedures for
safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and financial
highlights and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide
assurance on the internal control structure.

The management of Steadman Technology and Growth 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
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 and financial
highlights 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 a certain matter, as noted below,  involving the internal control
structure and its operations, including procedures for safeguarding securities,
that we considered to be a reportable condition, as of June 30, 1997, under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to
significant deficiencies in the design  or operation of the internal control
structure that, in our judgement, could adversely affect the Funds ability to
record, process, summerize, and report financial data consistent with the
assertions of management in the financial statement.

As of June 30, 1997, and during the year then ended, Steadman Technology and
Growth Fund deviated from its policy in respect of concentration of investments
in any particular industry or group of industries as recited in its registration
statement.  Management should review its policies and determine compliance with
such policies at all times.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of
Trustees and management of Steadman Technology and Growth Fund and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
