DREYFUS 100% U.S. TREASURY INTERMEDIATE TERM FUND
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide you with this report on the Dreyfus 100%
U.S.Treasury Intermediate-Term Fund. For its annual reporting period ended
December 31, 1995, your Fund produced a total return of 15.77% per share.*
Income dividends of approximately $.892 per share were paid, which is
equivalent to an annualized distribution rate per share of 6.81%.** For the
same period, the Merrill Lynch Governments, U.S. Treasury, Intermediate-Term
(1-9.99 Years) Index recorded a total return of 14.59%.***
THE ECONOMY
Modest economic growth and low inflation have spurred a dramatic,
year-long rally in the bond market. In December the Federal Reserve Board
reduced the Federal Funds rate (the rate at which the nation's banks borrow
money from each other) to 5.5%, the second reduction in 1995.
The economic recovery of the 1990s was productivity driven. Corporations
implemented extraordinary cost control measures that, while dramatically
improving bottom line earnings, now contribute to the slow rate of employment
growth. Job creation is a significant factor that affects overall consumer
spending, a major component of economic activity. The pace of new job
creation, currently running at its slowest since World War II, is worrisome.
Still, surveys indicate that consumers remain optimistic, despite indications
that their spending has been curtailed by the slow growth in disposable
income. Indeed, wages and salaries grew at under 3% over the past year,
barely keeping pace with inflation. A consumer-led weakening of the economy
could lead to further Federal Reserve easing of monetary policy.
It was the favorable low inflation environment that allowed the Federal
Reserve to ease the Federal Funds rate twice this year. The inflation outlook
can be easily seen in the retail sector, where consumers wait for deep
discounts before buying. The retail sales outlook is bleak at best; most
retailers have reported sales that were analogous to the weak 1991 season. A
possible reason for this disappointment is the high debt load that consumers
are carrying.
One bright area of the economy has been exports. Because of the new
competitiveness of American businesses abroad, the U.S. trade deficit
continues to shrink. Through September, the trade deficit with Japan narrowed
for the sixth consecutive month. Exports, while a relatively small component
of overall economic activity in this country, provide an important support
for the job market.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Bonds have enjoyed a dramatic bull market for the past 12 months. Current
business sluggishness may result in further easing of the Fed Funds rate,
particularly if the Clinton Administration and Congress can arrive at a
meaningful budget agreement. Of course, the prospect of a balanced Federal
budget should be beneficial to the bond market since it means a reduction in
the growth of government securities.
Overall, we remain confident in our optimistic view of the bond market.
Yet we are also cognizant of the stimulatory effect of easing monetary
policy, and are watchful for any signs of renewed inflationary pressures in
the economy.
THE PORTFOLIO
As we said in our previous letters, we were optimistic about the
potential for declining interest rates. We positioned the Fund accordingly by
extending the average maturity of the Fund. At one point the Fund had an
average maturity at its maximum of close to seven years; currently it is at
5.5 years. Because
this Fund does not use any derivatives or speculative trading techniques, the
average maturity of its holdings is critical to its overall performance.
Positioning the Fund at a 5.5 year average maturity, while not our most
bullish stance, is still bullish. Our optimism for lower rates is still
there, but we are cognizant that as rates move lower the stimulatory effect
will be seen in the economy at some point.
We still believe that monetary policy is restrictive, and that the
government shutdown and reduced spending will have a dragging effect on the
economy. One way to counter the effect is to ease monetary policy, and we
still believe the Fed will indeed ease it further. We have positioned the
Fund to benefit from a steeper yield curve environment (as the Fed lowers
rates the yield curve becomes steeper; for example, the difference between
the yield on two-year Treasuries and 30-year bonds becomes greater). We
accomplished this by selling the shorter and longer maturities, while buying
the maturities in between.
The high level of volatility exhibited by the market in recent years
underscores the need to maintain a disciplined and long-term focus. Solid
market performance thus far in 1995 has rewarded the patient investor.
Our primary task - to earn a high level of current income to the extent
consistent with preservation of capital - continues to guide our portfolio
management decisions.
Included in this report is a series of detailed statements about your
Fund's holdings and its financial condition. We hope they are informative.
Please know that we greatly appreciate your continued confidence in the Fund
and in The Dreyfus Corporation.
Very truly yours,

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.
The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Dreyfus 100% U.S.
Treasury Intermediate Term Fund on 3/27/87 (Inception Date) to a $10,000
investment made in the Merrill Lynch Governments, U.S. Treasury,
Intermediate-Term (1-9.99 Years) Index on that date. All dividends and
capital gain distributions are reinvested.
The Fund invests exclusively in U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund's
portfolio of U.S. Treasury Securities will, under normal market conditions,
have a dollar-weighted average maturity ranging between three and seven
years. The Fund's performance shown in the line graph takes into account fees
and expenses. Unlike the Fund, the Merrill Lynch Governments, U.S. Treasury,
Intermediate-Term (1-9.99 Years)Index is an unmanaged performance benchmark
for Treasury securities with maturities of 1-9.99 years. The Index does not
take into account charges, fees and other expenses. In past reports, the Fund
has misidentified this Index as the Merrill Lynch Treasury Master Index -
Intermediate-Term. Further information relating to Fund performance,
including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the
Financial Highlights section of the Prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

DREYFUS 100% U.S. TREASURY INTERMEDIATE TERM FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act")
as a diversified open-end management investment company. Premier Mutual Fund
Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the distributor of the Fund's
shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. The Distributor,
located at One Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FDI Distribution Services, Inc., a provider of mutual fund
administration services, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FDI
Holdings, Inc., the parent company of which is Boston Institutional Group,
Inc. The Dreyfus Corporation ("Manager") serves as the Fund's investment
adviser. The Manager is a direct subsidiary of Mellon Bank, N.A.
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: The Fund's investments are valued at the mean
between quoted bid and asked prices.
(B) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from
securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest
income, including, where applicable, amortization of discount on investments,
is recognized on the accrual basis.
(C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of the Fund to declare
dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly.
Dividends from net realized capital gain are normally declared and paid
annually, but the Fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to
comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. To
the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss
carryovers, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gain.
(D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the
best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable
income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and
excise taxes.
The Fund has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately
$14,530,000 available for Federal income tax purposes to be applied against
future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31,
1995. If not applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2002.
NOTE 2-MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
(A) Pursuant to a management agreement ("Agreement") with the Manager,
the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .60 of 1% of the average
daily value of the Fund's net assets and is payable monthly. The Agreement
provides for an expense reimbursement from the Manager should the Fund's
aggregate expenses, exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest on borrowings and
extraordinary expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any state having
jurisdiction over the Fund for any full year. The most stringent state
expense limitation applicable to the Fund presently requires reimbursement of
expenses in any full year that such expenses (exclusive of certain expenses
as described above) exceed 21\2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next $70
million and 11\2% of the excess over $100 million of the average value of the
Fund's net assets in accordance with California "blue sky" regulations. The
Manager has currently undertaken from September 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996
to reduce the Management
DREYFUS 100% U.S. TREASURY INTERMEDIATE TERM FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
fee paid by, or reimburse such excess expenses of the Fund, to the extent
that the Fund's aggregate expenses (exclusive of certain expenses as
described above) exceed an annual rate of .80 of 1% of the average daily
value of the Fund's net assets. The reduction in management fee, pursuant to
the undertaking, amounted to $38,036 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
The undertaking may be modified by the Manager from time to time,
provided that the resulting expense reimbursement would not be less than the
amount required pursuant to the Agreement.
Effective December 1, 1995, the Fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement
for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services
for the Fund. Such compensation amounted to $9,849 for the period from
December 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995.
(B) Pursuant to the Fund's Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund reimburses
Dreyfus Service Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, an
amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the Fund's
average daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal
services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts. The services provided may
include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering
shareholder inquiries regarding the Fund and providing reports and other
information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund was charged an aggregate of
$153,913 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
(C) Each trustee who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives from the Fund an annual fee of $2,500 and an attendance fee of $250
per meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such
compensation.
NOTE 3-SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities,
excluding short-term securities, during the year ended December 31, 1995,
amounted to $858,330,253 and $872,211,685, respectively.
At December 31, 1995, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on
investments was $2,399,131, consisting of $2,413,609 gross unrealized
appreciation and $14,478 gross unrealized depreciation.
At December 31, 1995, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

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.
