NUVEEN INSURED TAX-FREE BOND FUND, INC.
333 West Wacker Drive
Chicago, Illinois 60606
RE: Rule 24f-2 Notice
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Nuveen Insured Tax-Free Bond Fund, Inc., a
Minnesota Corporation (the "Fund"), in connection with the Fund's registration,
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
of an indefinite number of its Nuveen Insured Municipal Bond Fund, Series A
Shares; Nuveen Insured Municipal Bond Fund, Series C Shares; Nuveen
Insured Municipal Bond Fund, Series R Shares; Nuveen
Massachusetts Insured Tax-Free Value Fund, Series A Shares; Nuveen
Massachusetts Insured Tax-Free Value Fund, Series C Shares; Nuveen
Massachusetts Insured Tax-Free Value Fund, Series R Shares; Nuveen
New York Insured Tax-Free Value Fund, Series A Shares; Nuveen New York
Insured Tax-Free Value Fund, Series C Shares; and Nuveen New York
Insured Tax-Free Value Fund, Series R Shares, par value $.01
(collectively, the "Shares"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
We understand that, pursuant to such Rule 24f-2, the Fund proposes to file
a notice (the "Notice") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") with respect to the fiscal year ended February 29, 1996,
in order to make definite the registration of Shares in the aggregate
amount of $319,708,895. This opinion is being delivered to you in connection
with the Fund's filing of such Notice.
In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things,
executed copies of the following documents:
(a) a certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota as to
the existence and good standing of the Fund;
(b) copies, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota;
of the Fund's Articles of Incorporation and of all amendments and all
supplements thereto (the "Articles of Incorporation");
(c) a certificate executed by Morrison C. Warren, an Assistant Secretary
of the Fund, certifying as to, and attaching copies of, the Fund's Articles
of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended (the "By-Laws") and certain
resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund authorizing the
issuance of the Shares covered by the Notice; and
(d) a certificate executed by H. William Stabenow, the Treasurer of the Fund,
as to the issuance of the Shares in accordance with the Fund's Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws and as to the receipt by the Fund of the net asset
value of the Shares covered by the Notice.
In our capacity as counsel to the Fund, we have examined the originals, or
certified, conformed or reproduced copies, of all records, agreements,
instruments and documents as we have deemed relevant or necessary as the
basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In all such examinations, we
have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents,
the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all original or
certified copies, and the conformity to original or certified copies of all
copies submitted to us as conformed or reproduced copies. As to various
questions of fact relevant to such opinion, we have relied upon, and assume
the accuracy of, certificates and oral or written statements of public
officials and officers or representatives of the Fund.
Based upon, and subject to, the limitations set forth herein, we are of the
opinion that the Shares covered by the Notice were legally issued and (to
the extent still outstanding) are fully paid and nonassessable.
This opinion expressed herein is limited to the laws of the State of
Minnesota.
Very truly yours,
FRIED, FRANK, HARRIS, SHRIVER & JACOBSON
