Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Seligman Portfolios, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Seligman
Portfolios, Inc. (comprising, respectively, Seligman Bond Portfolio, Seligman
Capital Portfolio, Seligman Cash Management Portfolio, Seligman Common Stock
Portfolio, Seligman Communications and Information Portfolio, Seligman Frontier
Portfolio, Seligman Henderson Global Growth Opportunities Portfolio, Seligman
Henderson Global Smaller Companies Portfolio, Seligman Henderson Global
Technology Portfolio, Seligman Henderson International Portfolio, Seligman
High-Yield Bond Portfolio and Seligman Income Portfolio) for the year ended
December 31, 1997, we considered its internal control, including control
activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide
assurance on the internal control.
The management of Seligman Portfolios, Inc. is responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant
to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements
for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of
assets against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal
control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control would not necessarily disclose all
matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce
to a relatively low level the risk that errors or fraud in amounts that would
be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and
not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving
the internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above at
December 31, 1997.
