To the Board of Directors of
Prudential Institutional Liquidity
Portfolio, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of Prudential
Institutional Liquidity Portfolio,
Inc. (comprised of the Institutional
Money Market Series) (the "Fund")
for the year ended March 31, 1997,
we considered its internal control
structure, including procedures for
safeguarding securities, in order to
determine our auditing procedures
for the purposes of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements
and to comply with the requirements
of Form N-SAR, and not to provide
assurance on the internal control
structure.
The management of the Fund is responsible for
establishing and maintaining an
internal control structure. In
fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess
the expected benefits and related
costs of internal control structure
policies and procedures. Two of the
objectives of an internal control
structure are to provide management
with reasonable, but not absolute,
assurance that assets are
appropriately safeguarded against
loss from unauthorized use or
disposition and that transactions
are executed in accordance with
management's authorization and
recorded properly to permit
preparation of financial statements
in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any
internal control structure, errors
or irregularities may occur and may
not be detected. Also, projection
of any evaluation of the structure
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
structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal
control structure 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 the specific internal
control structure elements 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 the internal control
structure, including procedures for
safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be material weaknesses
as defined above as of March 31,
1997.
This report is intended solely for the
information and use of management
and the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
