You have requested our opinion with respect to the shares of

1940. You have represented that a total of 10,141,001 shares were sold by the
Fund during said fiscal year, all of which were sold in reliance upon Rule

Based upon our review of such records, documents, and

beneficial interest of the Fund sold and issued by the Fund during its fiscal
year ended October 31, 1996, in reliance upon the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
"Rule 24f-2 Notice" being filed by the Fund, covering the registration of the
said shares under the Securities Act and we further consent to reference in the
Prospectus of the Fund to the fact that this opinion concerning the legality of
the issue has been rendered by us.
Very truly yours,
