REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Franklin Templeton International Trust
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Franklin
Templeton International Trust (the "Trust") for the year ended October 31, 2000,
we considered its internal controls, including controls over 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 Trust 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
controls. Generally, controls 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 controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or irregularities
may occur and may 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 their
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 component 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 controls,
including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2000.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of
Trustees, management and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
