Re: Van Kampen Tax Free Money Fund -- Rule 497(j) Filing
(File Nos. 33-6745 and 811-4718)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Van Kampen Tax Free Money Fund (the "Registrant") filed via EDGAR on
October 28, 1999, a copy of Post-Effective Amendment No. 18 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 prospectus and statement 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
