Re: Van Kampen Trust -- Rule 497(j) Filing
(File Nos. 33-4410 and 811-4629)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Van Kampen Trust (the "Registrant") filed via EDGAR on July 29, 1999, a
copy of Post-Effective Amendment No. 46 to the Registration Statement on Form
N-1A (the "Registration Statement") complete with exhibits filed therewith
pursuant to Rule 485(b) of the General Rules and Regulations (the "1933 Act
Rules") of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
In accordance with the provisions of Rule 497(j) of the 1933 Act Rules this
letter serves to certify that the prospectuses and statements of additional
information contained in the Registration Statement do not differ from that
which would have been filed pursuant to Rule 497(c) of the 1933 Act Rules.
Should the staff have any questions regarding the foregoing, please contact
me at (312) 407-0863.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Charles B. Taylor
