DECEMBER 31, 1995 -- QUARTERLY REPORT
January 17, 1996
Dear Shareholder:
Short-term interest rates declined slightly in the 4th quarter, and our 7-
day and 30-day yields slipped to 4.9% (after expenses). My guess is that short
rates will continue to move lower, but in any event, our fund's yield will track
closely with Treasury bill rates.
Best regards,
/s/ Wallace R. Weitz
Wallace R. Weitz
President
