Re Princor Government Securities Income Fund, Inc.
In my capacity as Counsel of Princor Government Securities Income Fund, Inc.
("the Fund"),I have supervised the preparation of the Rule 24f-2 Notice for
the Fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and have reviewed the
legality of the securities which are to be registered thereunder. Based
upon examination of such corporate records and matters of fact and law as
deemed necessary, I am of the opinion that such securities were legally
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Rule 24f-2
Notice for the Fund und the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Sincerely
Michael D. Roughton
