Re: Van Kampen Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund
Rule 497(j) Filing (File Nos. 33-11384 and 811-4983)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Van Kampen Pennsylvania Tax Free Income Fund (the "Registrant"), filed
via EDGAR on January 27, 2000, a copy of Post-Effective Amendment No. 20 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 the 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 (312) 407-0863.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Charles B. Taylor
