Re: Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free Money Fund,
Prospectus filing pursuant to Rule 497(j)
(File Nos. 33-6745 and 811-4718)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free Money Fund (the
"Registrant"), filed via EDGAR on October 28, 1996, a copy of
Post-Effective Amendment No. 14 to the Registration Statement on
Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement") complete with exhibits
filed therewith pursuant to Rule 485 (a) 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 (the "Securities Act"), 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 Prospectus
contained in the Registration Statement does not differ from
that which would have been filed pursuant to Rule 497 (c) of the
Securities Act.
A copy of the Registrant's Statement of Additional
Information, dated October 28, 1996, was filed under separate
cover pursuant to Rule 497 (c) of the Securities Act.
Should the staff have any questions regarding the
foregoing, please do not hesitate to call me at (630) 684-6774.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Nicholas Dalmaso
