Important Information:
Through our ongoing efforts to reduce expenses and respond to shareholder
requests, your annual and semiannual report mailings are now "streamlined."
One copy of each report will be sent to each address, instead of our
previous practice of sending one report to every registered owner. For many
shareholders and their families, this eliminates duplicate copies, saving
paper and postage costs to the Fund.
If you are the primary shareholder on at least one account, prefer not to
participate in streamlining, and would like to continue receiving one
report per registered account owner, you may request this in writing to:
USAA Investment Management Company
Attn: Report Mail
9800 Fredericksburg Road
San Antonio, TX 78284-8916
or phone a Mutual Fund Representative at 1-800-531-8448 during business hours.
This report is for the information of the shareholders and others who have
received a copy of the currently effective prospectus of the USAA Treasury
Money Market Trust, managed by USAA Investment Management Company (IMCO).
It may be used as sales literature only when preceded or accompanied by a
current prospectus which gives further details about the fund.

Message from the President
[Photo of Michael J.C. Roth, President appears here]
Most of these messages look back at events. This one looks forward.
On January 29, 1995, my wife and I became grandparents. Karl Joseph Marbach
was born to Alexandra, my wife's daughter, and her husband Keith Marbach.
When my wife learned of the name Alexandra and Keith had chosen,
she smiled. She noted that my middle names are Joseph Carl, and she said,
"I think this kid's college education is secure."
"Secure" may be an exaggeration, but I did decide to practice one thing I
have preached for many years. I told Alexandra to get the little fellow a
social security number, and as soon as she furnished that to me, (well,
almost as soon), I opened an InveStart (registered trademark) account for
Karl Joseph. This account, in the USAA Income Stock Fund, was opened for
$100, and will have $50 per month added to it by an electronic funds
transfer from my checking account.
InveStart is a program that we have offered for many years. For now it is
available for use with the Income Stock Fund, Cornerstone Fund and Money Market
Fund.(1) That lineup will soon expand. We originally intended it for young USAA
members as a good way to start investing. We found, however, that many
grandparents were using it as I just did.
The effect for Karl Joseph can be quite powerful. It is well documented
that the stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 stock index has produced
a total return of 10% for the last 18 years ended May 31, 1995 (Source: Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc.).
The chart on the next page shows the growth of an account with a $100
initial investment and $50 subsequent monthly investments for 18 years at
an 8% return - a hypothetical figure based upon and more conservative than
historical results. It is for illustrative purposes only and should not be
considered an indication of fund performance by any of the USAA Family of
Funds.
[A graph is shown here which shows the growth of an account with a $100 initial
investment and $50 subsequent monthly investments for 18 years at an 8% return
- - a hypothetical figure based upon amd more conservative than histroical
results. The horizontal axis shows the years, and the vertical axis shows the
dollar amount. The beginning value is $100 and the ending value is $24,209.]
A systematic plan like this doesn't assure a profit or protect against loss
in declining markets. Since such a plan involves continuous investment in
securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities, you
should consider your financial ability to continue purchases through
periods of low and high price levels.
In 18 years, college will cost more than it does now. This sum today would
go a long way toward an education in an in-state public university. In 18
years it will not buy as much education as it does today, but it will be quite
meaningful. If we add to the cash flow on birthdays, or if other relatives kick
in, it will be even more meaningful. And it is relatively painless.
I promise to keep you posted on the progress of Karl Joseph's education
fund. This is not theoretical; it is real.
" . . . I did decide to practice one thing
I have preached for many years."
Sincerely,
Michael Joseph Carl Roth
President and
Vice Chairman of the Board

Investment Review
Treasury Money Market trust
OBJECTIVE: Provide investors with maximum current income while maintaining
the highest degree of safety and liquidity.
TYPES OF INVESTMENTS: Securities with maturities of 397 days or less that
are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and
repurchase agreements collateralized by such securities.
5/31/95
Net Assets $67.9 Million
Net Asset Value Per Share $1.00
Average Annual Total Return as of 5/31/95
1 Year 4.88%
Since inception on February 1, 1991 3.98%
The Fund's simple yield was 5.61% for the 7-day period ended May 31, 1995,
and the weighted average maturity was 72 days.
[A graph is shown here which is a cpmparison of the 7-day yield of the
USAA Treasury Money Market Trust to the IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Averages
U.S. Treasury & Repo from 5/94 to 5/95. The vertical axis shows the yield and
the horizontal axis shows the time period. The 7-day yield as of 5/31/95 for
the USAA Treasury Money Market Trust is 5.63% and the 7-day yield as of 5/31/95
for the IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Averages/U.S.Treasury & Repo is 5.34%.]
The graph tracks the Fund's 7-day yield against IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund
Averages/U.S. Treasury & Repo, an average of all major treasury money
market fund yields. While past performance is no guarantee of future results,
the Fund appears to remain competitive in the money market industry.
Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes
reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. No adjustment
has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested
dividends and capital gain distributions. An investment in this Fund is
neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government, and there can be no
assurance that the Fund can maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share.

Fund Performance
Yields for this Fund rise and fall with other short-term securities,
particularly Treasury securities. Since the last semiannual report in
November 1994, the Federal Reserve made one additional increase to the Fed
Funds Rate. This resulted in higher yields for the Fund, particularly from
those yield levels seen last May. As of this writing, the Fed Funds target
is 6.0%, an increase of 3.0% since the beginning of 1994.
We manage the Fund using a barbell approach of repurchase agreements and
Treasury securities. You may recall that a barbell maturity structure is
one where securities are concentrated in both short maturities and long
maturities, while still maintaining a weighted average maturity within SEC
guidelines. Now that short-term interest rates are falling, this strategy
remains the same. The strategy provides daily liquidity while at the same
time allowing for investment in relatively longer-term Treasury securities
with higher yields.
To illustrate, as of May 31, 1995, 48% of the securities in the Fund mature
in less than seven days. At the other extreme, 40% of the securities mature
in 70 days or longer, although none of the securities exceed 397 days (as
required by law). The weighted average maturity of the Fund is 72 days, 19
days longer than last November.
This Fund remains an alternative for investors looking for safety of
principal and minimum risk. Although the primary focus is credit strength,
it offers a competitive yield that may be enhanced by an exemption from
state income tax. Under federal law, the income derived from obligations
issued by the U.S. government and certain of its agencies and
instrumentalities is exempt from state personal income taxes. Many states
that tax personal income permit mutual funds to pass-through this tax
exemption to shareholders. You may wish to consult a tax advisor,
accountant, or attorney for more details.
See page 9 for a complete listing of the Portfolio of Investments in
Securities.
An investment in this Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
government, and there can be no assurance that the Fund can maintain a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

5/31/95, invested in the USAA Treasury Money Market Trust. The
vertical axis shows the dollar amount and the horizontal axis shows
the time period. The ending value is $11,845.]
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS AND THE VALUE
OF YOUR INVESTMENT MAY VARY ACCORDING TO THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE.
INCOME MAY BE SUBJECT TO FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAXES, OR TO THE
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX.

May 31, 1995
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
USAA INVESTMENT TRUST (the Trust), registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, is a diversified, open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust consisting of eight separate
funds. The information presented in this annual report pertains only to
the Treasury Money Market Trust (the Fund).
On November 8, 1993, the Board of Trustees of the Trust voted to change the
Fund's fiscal year end from September 30 to May 31. The financial information
for the eight-month period ended May 31, 1994 reflects this change.
A. Security valuation - The value of each security is determined (as of
the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each business day
the Exchange is open) as set forth below:
1. Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
securities in the Fund are stated at amortized cost which approximates
market value. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.
2. Securities which cannot be valued by the methods set forth above, and
all other assets, are valued in good faith at fair value, using methods
determined by the Manager under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees.
B. Federal taxes - The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute substantially all of its income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.
C. Investments in securities - As is common in the industry, security
transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or
sold (trade date). Gain or loss from sales of investment securities is computed
on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Discounts and premiums on securities are amortized over the life of the
respective securities.
(2) Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other USAA funds in a joint $150 million
short-term revolving loan agreement (the Agreement) through January 15,
1996, for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of
redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition
of securities. Subject to availability under this Agreement, the Fund may
borrow up to 5% of the market value of its assets at the time of the
borrowing. Borrowings under this Agreement will bear interest at .125% over
the Federal Funds Rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
or at .125% over the London Interbank Offered Rate. The Fund had no
borrowings under this Agreement during the year ended May 31, 1995.
(3) Distributions
As required by Federal Law (Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
the Regulations thereunder), the distributions related to earnings for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1995 were $.05 per share, which were entirely derived
from taxable interest income.
Net investment income is accrued daily as dividends and distributed to
shareholders monthly. All net investment income available for distribution
was distributed as of May 31, 1995. Distributions of realized gains from
security transactions not offset by capital losses are made in the
succeeding fiscal year.
The Treasury Money Market Trust earned 56.4% of its income from investments
in U.S. Treasury securities during the fiscal year.
(4) Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales/maturities of securities for the year ended May 31,
1995 were $1,405,799 and $1,372,665, respectively.
(5) Transactions with Manager
A. Management fees - The investment policy of the Fund and the management
of the Fund's portfolio is carried out by USAA Investment Management
Company (the Manager). The Fund's management fees are computed at .125% of
its annual average net assets.
The Manager has voluntarily agreed to limit the annual expenses of the Fund
to .375% of its annual average net assets. This limitation may be rescinded
at any time and in the event of rescission the terms of the advisory
agreement would govern.
B. Transfer agent's fees - USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA
Shareholder Account Services, an affiliate of the Manager, provides
transfer agent services to the Fund. Shareholder accounting service fees
are based on an annual charge per shareholder account plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
C. Underwriting agreement - The Trust has an agreement with the Manager
for exclusive underwriting and distribution of the Fund's shares on a
continuing best efforts basis. This agreement provides that the Manager
will receive no fee or other remuneration for such services.
(6) Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with commercial banks or
recognized security dealers. These agreements are secured by obligations
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Obligations
pledged as collateral are required to maintain a value equal to or in
excess of the resale price of the repurchase agreement and are held by the
Fund's custodian until maturity of the repurchase agreement. The Fund's
Manager monitors the creditworthiness of sellers with which the Fund may
enter into repurchase agreements.
(7) Financial Highlights
Per share operating performance for a share outstanding throughout each
period is as follows:
