Rule 497(j) Filing (File Nos. 33-11384 and 811-4983)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Van Kampen American Capital Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund (the
"Registrant"), filed via EDGAR on April 30, 1997, a copy of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 16 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
(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 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 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
