We have examined the accompanying
description of the Prudential Multiple
Class Pricing Worksheet (the
"Worksheet") application of State
Street Bank and Trust Company ("State
Street"), custodian and recordkeeper
for the Prudential Mutual Funds (the
"Funds"). Our examination included
procedures to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether (1) the
accompanying description presents
fairly, in all material respects, the
aspects of State Street's policies and
procedures that may be relevant to a
Fund's internal control structure
relating to the Worksheet, (2) the
control structure policies and
procedures included in the description
were suitably designed to achieve the
control objectives specified in the
description, if those policies and
procedures were complied with
satisfactorily, and (3) such policies
and procedures had been placed in
operation as of June 30, 1996. The
control objectives were specified by
Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc.
Our examination was performed in
accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants and included those
procedures we considered necessary in
the circumstances to obtain a
reasonable basis for rendering our
opinion.
In our opinion, the accompanying
description of the aforementioned
application presents fairly, in all
material respects, the relevant aspects
of State Street's policies and
procedures that had been placed in
operation as of June 30, 1996. Also,
in our opinion, the policies and
procedures, as described, are suitably
designed to provide reasonable
assurance that the specified control
objectives would be achieved if the
described policies and procedures were
complied with satisfactorily.
In addition to the procedures we
considered necessary to render our
opinion as expressed in the previous
paragraph, we applied tests to specific
policies and procedures, listed in
Section I, to obtain evidence about
their effectiveness in meeting the
control objectives, described in
Section I during the period from
July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. The
nature, timing, extent, and results of
the tests are listed in Section II. In
our opinion the policies and procedures
that were tested, as described in
Section II, were operating with
sufficient effectiveness to provide
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance
that the control objectives specified
in Section I were achieved during the
period from July 1, 1995 to June 30,
1996. However, the scope of our
engagement did not include tests to
determine whether control objectives
not listed in Section I were achieved;
accordingly we express no opinion on
the achievement of control objectives
not included in Section I.
The relative effectiveness and
significance of specific policies and
procedures at State Street, and their
effect on assessments of control risk
on the Funds are dependent on their
interaction with the policies,
procedures, and other factors present
at individual Funds. We have performed
no procedures to evaluate the
effectiveness of policies and
procedures at individual Funds in
connection with this report.
The description of policies and
procedures at State Street is as of
June 30, 1996, and information about
tests of the operating effectiveness of
specified policies and procedures
covers the period from July 1, 1995 to
June 30, 1996. Any projection of such
information to the future is subject to
the risk that, because of change, the
description may no longer portray the
system in existence. The potential
effectiveness of specified policies and
procedures at State Street is subject
to inherent limitations and,
accordingly, errors or irregularities
may occur and not be detected.
Furthermore, the projection of any
conclusions, based on our findings, to
future periods is subject to the risk
that changes may alter the validity of
such conclusions.
This report is intended solely for use
by the management and Boards of
Directors/Trustees of the Funds, the
independent auditors of the Funds and
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION I
Policies and Procedures Placed in Operation
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
The Prudential Mutual Funds (the "Funds") have adopted a multiple
class pricing system. The multiple class pricing system consists of
four classes of shares (Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z). Class
A shares are subject to an initial sales charge, Class B and Class C
shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge and Class Z
shares have no sales charge (Class Z shares which were first offered
on March 1, 1996, are offered exclusively for sale to the PSI Pension
Plan). Each of the classes of shares represent interests in the same
portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and are identical in
all respects, except that each class is subject to different
distribution expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to
the Rule 12b-1 distribution plan pursuant to which such distribution
expenses are paid.
In order to allocate income and expenses among the classes of shares,
State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Funds' custodian and
recordkeeper) utilizes the Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
(the "Worksheet") (see Exhibit I). The Worksheet is a manual
supplementary application that extracts relevant data from the Funds'
primary accounting system, allocates income and expenses among the
classes of shares and computes the daily net asset value and, if
applicable, the dividend/distribution for each class of shares.
Internal accounting controls that are relevant to the Fund can be
divided into two components - controls related to the mutual fund
accounting system resident at State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
"primary accounting system") and controls related to the Worksheet.
The specific control objectives and policies and procedures relating
to the Worksheet are described on pages 4 and 5. A description of the
tests of the policies and procedures designed to obtain evidence about
the operating effectiveness of those policies and procedures in
achieving the specific control objectives is included in Section II.
Control Objectives and Policies and Procedures
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
The Worksheet is a supplementary manual application to the Funds'
primary accounting system. Certain data is extracted from the primary
accounting system to allocate income and expenses and to calculate the
daily net asset value and, if applicable, dividends/distributions for
each class of shares. The primary accounting system includes the
details of transactions in accordance with the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.
The following represents the internal accounting control objectives
and policies and procedures for the allocation of income and expenses
and the computation of the net asset value and, if applicable, the
dividend/distribution for each class of shares utilizing the
Worksheet. It does not cover the internal accounting control policies
and procedures surrounding the processing of information into the
Funds' primary accounting system.

SECTION II
Tests of Operating Effectiveness
Prudential Multiple Class Pricing Worksheet
July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996
We reviewed the methodology and procedures for calculating the daily
net asset value and, if applicable, the dividends/distributions of the
classes of shares and the allocation of income and expenses among the
classes of shares.
The following are the detailed procedures which we performed with
respect to the Worksheet. These procedures were performed for
selected days encompassing all Funds subject to multiple class pricing
during the year ended June 30, 1996, which we believe is a
representative sample, to test compliance with the control policies
and procedures as described in Section I.
Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc. is the manager of the Funds
and has represented to us that adequate facilities are in place to
ensure implementation of the methodology and procedures for
calculating the net asset value and dividends/distributions of the
classes of shares and the allocation of income and expenses among the
classes of shares. Based on our review of the description of the
policies and procedures of the Worksheet, as described in Section I,
and performance of tests of operating effectiveness as described in
Section II, we concur with such representation.

To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of
Prudential Global Genesis Fund,
Inc.
In planning and performing our
audit of the financial statements
of Prudential Global Genesis Fund,
Inc. (the "Fund") for the year
ended May 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 internal control.
The management of the Fund 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 control activities.
Generally, control activities 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 control activities include
the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in
internal control, errors or
irregularities 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 internal
control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in 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 any specific
internal control components does
not reduce to a relatively low
level the risk that errors or
irregularities 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 internal control,
including control activities for
safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be material weaknesses
as defined above as of May 31,
1997.
This report is intended solely for
the information and use of
management and the Board of
Directors of the Fund and the
