Gentlemen:
At your request, we have examined your Registration Statement on Form N-1A
and Post-Effective Amendment No. 10 thereto as filed by you with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an indefinite number of shares
of your Capital Stock, $.01 par value, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. We have also examined the form of Rule 24f-2
Notice proposed to be filed by you with the Commission not later than the end
of December 1996, which indicates that during the fiscal year ended October 31,
1996 you issued and sold 27,651,266 shares of stock pursuant to said indefinite
registration (the "Shares") including 6,760,213 Shares issued in connection
with dividend and capital gain reinvestment plans. We are familiar with the
proceedings taken by you in connection with the authorization and issuance of
the Shares.
Based upon our examination and upon our knowledge of your corporate
activities, and assuming, without independent verification, that the Shares
were sold in compliance with applicable Blue Sky laws and in the manner
referred to in the Registration Statement, it is our opinion that the Shares
constitute legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of your Capital
Stock.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Rule 24f-2
Notice.
Respectfully submitted,
O'Melveny & Myers LLP
