The Global Government Plus Fund

Dear Sir/Madam:
As counsel for The Global Government Plus Fund (the "Fund during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, we are familiar with the Fund's
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and with the registration
statement relating to its shares of common stock(the "Shares") under the
Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-13643) (the "Registration Statement"). We
have also examined such other corporate records, agreements, documents and
instruments as we deemed appropriate.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion with respect to the
Shares the registration of which is being made definite by the Notice pursuant
to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Notice") being filed by
the Fund for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, assuming such Shares were
sold at the public offering price and delivered by the Fund against receipt of
the net asset value of the Shares in compliance with the terms of the
Registration Statement and the requirements of applicable law, that such Shares
were, when sold, duly and validly authorized, legally and validly issued, and
fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion in connection with the
Notice on Form 24F-2 to be filed by the Fund with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Dechert Price & Rhoads
