                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Chase Manhattan Bank, Trustee
Government Trust P-3


We have audited the accompanying Distribution Report of Government Trust P-3
as of December 31, 1997 and for the year then ended.  This schedule is the
responsibility of the Trustee.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on this schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Distribution Report is free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Distribution Report.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
schedule presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the Distribution Report referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, amounts distributed to certificate holders, the
aggregate initial amount of certificates outstanding, the unpaid principal
amount of the promissory note and funds compared with amounts distributed
from Government Trust P-3 at December 31, 1997 and for the year then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO DISTRIBUTION REPORT

GOVERNMENT TRUST P-3

December 31, 1997


NOTE A--ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION

Government Trust P-3 (the Trust) was formed in January 1989 by The Chase
Manhattan Bank (Successor to Chemical Bank), as Trustee, to issue Certificates
(see Note B), the proceeds of which were used to loan funds evidenced by a
Note (see Note C) from The Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Borrower) and to
purchase a beneficial interest in a government securities trust (Securities
Trust), for which The Chase Manhattan Bank also acts as Trustee.  The Trust
was created for the limited purpose of conducting transactions relating to
the Certificates, the Note and the Securities Trust.  All capitalized terms
used in the Distribution Report are as defined in the Declaration of Trust
dated as of January 15, 1989.


NOTE B--ZERO COUPON CERTIFICATES

The Trust issued Zero Coupon Certificates (the Certificates) with an aggregate
principal amount of $339,745,000.  Each Certificate represents an interest
in specific payments of principal and/or interest on the assets of the Trust.
The Holder of each of the Certificates is entitled to receive a single payment
on the date indicated in such Certificate.  The Trust is required to
distribute to the Certificate holders all funds held by the Trust, which
would consist of an amount equal to 90% of the principal and interest
required to be paid by the Borrower on the Related Note (see Note C), any
payments received with respect to the Guaranty (see Note C), and payments
from the related Securities Trust, less amounts paid to the Trustee for
periodic fees and expenses.  The government securities held for the benefit
of the Trust consist of U.S. Treasury Securities and are calculated to provide
the Trust on or before each Certificate Payment Date with funds equal to at
least 10% of the principal and/or interest payment due on the related Note
on the next preceding Note Payment Date.  No distributions remain as of
December, 1997.

   
NOTE C--PROMISSORY NOTE

After the May 15, 1997 payment, the Promissory Note was paid in full.
