MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT


[PHOTOGRAPH OF PRESIDENT AND VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, MICHAEL J.C. ROTH, CFA,
 APPEARS HERE]


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF 2000 WERE AS  FASCINATING  AND  CHALLENGING A PERIOD AS
INVESTORS  HAVE  SEEN IN A LONG  TIME.  IT WAS  FRAMED BY TWO  EVENTS  THAT WERE
STUNNINGLY OPPOSITE TO ONE ANOTHER.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The more notable of the two was the precipitous  drop of the NASDAQ Index.  This
market  gauge is  dominated  by the tech stocks  which  created  the  stupendous
returns of 1999. Many mutual funds could boast triple-digit returns for 12-month
periods, and the valuation of tech stocks in general reached undreamt-of levels.
More traditional investors struggled with the triple-digit price/earnings ratios
of the  techs,  and the retort was that this was the new  economy.  Then,  about
three months into 2000, the trend cracked. The NASDAQ began falling, and it fell
hard.  There  were  numerous  drops of 5% or more in a day,  very  severe for an
entire index.

The second event was at the opposite end of the investment spectrum. Most people
were highly aware that the Federal  Reserve (the Fed) was getting  serious about
inflation  and  was  raising  interest  rates.  Therefore,   bonds  were  a  bad
investment? Wrong!

The Fed indeed raised  short-term  rates more than once.  But something else was
happening.  The federal government  continued to run a budget surplus,  and that
surplus has begun to be applied to the  national  debt.  The  Treasury  began to
retire  its  30-year  bond.  The  effect  was that by early  June the  six-month
Treasury bill yielded over 6.30%,  but the 30-year bond, which had long been the
benchmark for the entire bond market,  had a yield of 5.91%.  Not only could you
get a higher rate of interest investing for 180 days instead of 30 years, but if
you  happened to already own the 30-year  bond,  you  received  the benefit of a
run-up in its price.

In May THE WALL STREET JOURNAL  reported that one of the world's  foremost hedge
funds had suspected that tech stocks would drop,  but missed the  opportunity to
get out ahead of the event.

And there was no forewarning of what happened in the bond market. Once again, at
a pair of major market turns most investors were  surprised.  And that is why we
continue to believe that a well-allocated  portfolio, set up before the fact, is
an excellent way to approach investing.



Sincerely,


Michael J.C. Roth, CFA
PRESIDENT AND
VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGERS



[PHOTOGRAPH OF PORTFOLIO MANAGERS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:  ALBERT C. SEBASTIAN, CFA,
AND KEVIN P. MOORE APPEARS HERE.]



MARKET CONDITIONS

For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2000, the USAA International  Fund's total
return was 19.26%,  which compares with the Lipper  International  Funds Average
return of 25.62% and with the Morgan Stanley Capital Index (MSCI)-EAFE return of
15.73%.  Last  year  the  Fund's  performance  was  negatively  impacted  by its
under-representation  in  Asian  and  Internet  equities.  However,  the  Fund's
relative   return  this  year  was  positively   impacted  since  we  are  still
underweighted in these same stocks.

EUROPE

In 2000,  the Fund has  benefited  from its  overweighted  position  in European
equities.  This is in spite of a weaker euro compared to the U.S. dollar. Within
Europe,  the Fund has benefited  from good stock  selection and an  overweighted
position in energy and health care.  Consumer  staples and financials  have also
performed well, while metal and mining stocks have performed poorly.

CANADA

The Canadian  equity market has rebounded  strongly this year,  and the Fund has
consequently benefited from its overweighted  position.  Energy stocks have been
particularly strong as a result of higher oil and natural gas prices. Technology
and financial stocks have also positively contributed to performance.

JAPAN

Our overweighted  position in the technology sector worked well in 1999. Despite
the recent  turmoil in the technology  stocks,  our holdings in that sector were
the  primary  reason we  outperformed  the market  over the last 12 months.  Our
underweighted  position in bank  stocks and other OLD ECONOMY  stocks has turned
out to be positive. We believe that corporate  restructuring is still intact and
the earnings outlook continues to be favorable.  However, we are still skeptical
about the  Japanese  government's  commitment  to a tighter  fiscal  policy  and
deregulation. We will remain underweighted in Japan until we see more progress.

EMERGING MARKETS

Most emerging markets started 2000 on a strong upswing,  only to be subsequently
caught in the negative sentiment that gripped equity markets beginning in March.
Economic  growth in most Asian  emerging  markets  continues to rebound from the
lows of the regional  crisis.  Latin American markets have also rebounded on the
back of  strong  exports  as well as  improving  domestic  economies.  The South
African  economy,  while  suffering  from currency and interest  rate  pressure,
continues  to grow while  economic  performance  in Eastern  European and Middle
Eastern countries is mixed. We believe that improving  domestic demand,  coupled
with the potential for falling interest rates, provides a favorable backdrop for
emerging markets over the next 12 months.

OUTLOOK

We are  encouraged by the strength of the global economy and feel positive about
the recent signs that U.S. economic growth may be slowing.  We continue to favor
Europe and Canada based on attractive  valuations,  sustainable economic growth,
corporate  restructuring,  and a benign inflation outlook.  In Japan, the market
will  continue  to  be  led  by   large-capitalization   growth  stocks  in  the
telecommunication and technology sectors. Our outlook, however, is less positive
on Japan  because of the level of financial and  government  debt as well as the
uncertain  political outlook.  In emerging markets we favor Brazil and Mexico as
well as  technology  stocks in Korea and Taiwan.  Overall in the  portfolio,  we
continue  to  be   underweighted  in  the  financial  and  utility  sectors  and
overweighted in the technology, industrial, and energy sectors.


PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


KPMG


The Shareholders and Board of Trustees

USAA INTERNATIONAL FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the portfolio of investments,  of the USAA  International  Fund, a series of the
USAA  Investment  Trust,  as of May 31,  2000,  and  the  related  statement  of
operations for the year then ended,  the statements of changes in net assets for
each  of the  years  in the  two-year  period  then  ended,  and  the  financial
highlights,  presented in note 8 to the  financial  statements,  for each of the
years in the  five-year  period  then  ended.  These  financial  statements  and
financial  highlights  are the  responsibility  of the Trust's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to  express  an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities  owned as of May 31, 2000, by  correspondence  with the custodian and
brokers.  An audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles  used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements and financial  highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of the
USAA  International  Fund as of May 31, 2000,  the results of its operations for
the year then ended,  the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the
two-year period then ended,  and the financial  highlights for each of the years
in the five-year  period then ended, in conformity  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

USAA INTERNATIONAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MAY 31, 2000



(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USAA INVESTMENT TRUST (the Trust),  registered under the Investment  Company Act
of 1940, as amended, is a diversified,  open-end  management  investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust consisting of 11 separate funds. The
information   presented  in  this  annual  report  pertains  only  to  the  USAA
International  Fund (the  Fund).  The Fund's  primary  investment  objective  is
capital appreciation.  Current income is a secondary objective.  USAA Investment
Management  Company (the Manager) seeks to achieve this objective by investing a
great majority of the Fund's assets in equity securities of foreign companies.

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.  Portfolio  securities,  except as  otherwise  noted,  traded  primarily on a
domestic  securities  exchange  are  valued  at the  last  sales  price  on that
exchange.  Portfolio securities traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges
are generally  valued at the closing  values of such  securities on the exchange
where primarily traded. If no sale is reported, the average of the bid and asked
prices is generally used depending upon local custom or regulation.

2.  Over-the-counter  securities  are priced at the last sales  price or, if not
available, at the average of the bid and asked prices.

3.  Securities  purchased  with  maturities  of 60 days or less  are  stated  at
amortized cost which approximates market value.

4.  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 - 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.  Dividend
income,  less foreign taxes, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. If the
ex-dividend  date has passed,  certain  dividends  from foreign  securities  are
recorded upon  notification.  Interest  income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Discounts and premiums on short-term  securities  are amortized over the life of
the respective securities.

D.  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS - The assets of the  Fund may be  invested  in
the securities of foreign issuers.  Since the accounting records of the Fund are
maintained in U.S.  dollars,  foreign  currency amounts are translated into U.S.
dollars on the following basis:

1.  Market  value of  securities,  other  assets,  and  liabilities at the  mean
between the bid and asked  translation  rates of such  currencies  against  U.S.
dollars on a daily basis.

2.  Purchases  and sales of  securities,  income,  and  expenses  at the rate of
exchange obtained from an independent pricing service on the respective dates of
such transactions.

Net realized and unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) occurring during the
holding  period of  investments  are a  component  of  realized  gain  (loss) on
investments   and   unrealized    appreciation/depreciation    on   investments,
respectively.

Net  realized  foreign  currency  gains  (losses)  arise  from  sales of foreign
currency,  currency  gains  (losses)  realized  between the trade and settlement
dates on  security  transactions,  and from the  difference  between  amounts of
dividends,  interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books
and the U.S. dollar  equivalent of the amounts  received.  Net realized  foreign
currency gains (losses) have been  reclassified  from  accumulated  net realized
gain (loss) to accumulated  undistributed net investment income on the statement
of assets and  liabilities as such amounts are treated as ordinary income (loss)
for tax purposes.  Net unrealized foreign currency exchange gains (losses) arise
from changes in the value of assets and  liabilities  other than  investments in
securities resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

E.  USE OF ESTIMATES - The  preparation  of financial statements  in  conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates and assumptions  that may affect the reported amounts in the financial
statements.

(2) LINES OF CREDIT

The Fund participates with other USAA funds in three joint short-term  revolving
loan  agreements  totaling  $850  million,  two with  USAA  Capital  Corporation
(CAPCO),  an affiliate of the Manager ($250  million  committed and $500 million
uncommitted), and one with Bank of America ($100 million committed). The purpose
of the  agreements  is to meet  temporary  or  emergency  cash needs,  including
redemption  requests that might  otherwise  require the untimely  disposition of
securities.  Subject to availability  under both agreements with CAPCO, the Fund
may borrow from CAPCO an amount up to 5% of the Fund's  total  assets at CAPCO's
borrowing rate with no markup.  Subject to availability under its agreement with
Bank of America,  the Fund may borrow from Bank of America, at Bank of America's
borrowing  rate  plus a markup,  an  amount  which,  when  added to  outstanding
borrowings under the CAPCO  agreements,  does not exceed 25% of the Fund's total
assets.  The Fund had no borrowings under either of these agreements  during the
year ended May 31, 2000.

(3) DISTRIBUTIONS

Distributions  of  net  investment  income  and  realized  gains  from  security
transactions  not offset by capital  losses are made annually in the  succeeding
fiscal year or as otherwise required to avoid the payment of federal taxes.

(4) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of  securities,  excluding  short-term
securities, for the year ended May 31, 2000, were $213,831,000 and $269,487,000,
respectively.

Gross  unrealized  appreciation and depreciation of investments at May 31, 2000,
was $173,437,000 and $32,444,000, respectively.

(5) FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A forward currency contract  (currency  contract) is a commitment to purchase or
sell a foreign  currency at a specified  date, at a negotiated  price.  The Fund
currently enters into currency contracts only in connection with the purchase or
sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency.  These contracts allow the
fund to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of the security.  Currency contracts are
valued on a daily basis using foreign  currency  exchange rates obtained from an
independent  pricing service.  Risks of entering into currency contracts include
the potential  inability of the  counterparty  to meet the terms of the contract
and the Fund giving up the opportunity for potential profit.

At May 31, 2000,  the terms of open foreign  currency  contracts were as follows
(in thousands):
