EXHIBIT A
September 27, 1995
Vanguard Equity Income Fund, Inc.
P.O. Box 1100
Valley Forge, PA 19482
Gentlemen:
As a member of the Pennsylvania bar acting as Counsel to Vanguard
Equity Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), I have examined the Fund's Articles
of Incorporation and other relevant documents and corporate records as well
as procedures and requirements relative to the issuance and sale of the
Fund's shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value. This examination disclosed
that there were approximately 960,539,000 shares of the Fund issued and
outstanding as of September 25, 1995.
Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Fund is a valid and subsisting corporation of the State of
Maryland, authorized to issue one billion shares of its common stock, with a
$.001 par value per share.
2. Upon the effectiveness of Post-Effective Amendment No. 10 to its
Registration Statement on Form N-1A under the Act covering 12,926,439
shares of the Fund, the Fund will, in jurisdictions where the Fund's shares
are qualified for sale, be authorized to make a public offering of such
shares at prices calculated in the manner disclosed in the Fund's then
current Prospectus, which shares, when so issued, will be lawfully issued,
fully paid, and non-assessable.
3. No material events requiring disclosure in the Fund's Prospectus,
other than those listed in paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 485 under the Act, have
occurred since the effective date of the Fund's most recent Post-Effective
Amendment, and Post-Effective Amendment No. 10 to the Fund's Registration
Statement can be properly filed under paragraph (b) of Rule 485.
I consent to the inclusion of this opinion as an Exhibit to such Post-
Effective Amendment No. 10 to the Fund's Registration Statement and to the
applications and registration statements filed in accordance with the
securities laws of the several jurisdictions in which the Fund's shares are
to be offered and I further consent to a reference in the Fund's Prospectus
concerning the substance of this opinion.
Very truly yours,
By: Raymond J. Klapinsky, Counsel
