ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS--AUGUST 17, 1995
The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of American
Select Portfolio Inc. ("SLA"), American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc. ("ASP"),
American Strategic Income Portfolio Inc.--II ("BSP") and American Strategic
Income Portfolio Inc.--III ("CSP") (individually, a "Fund" and collectively,
the "Funds"), in connection with the annual meeting of shareholders of each Fund
to be held August 17, 1995, and any adjournments thereof. The costs of
solicitation, including the cost of preparing and mailing the Notice of Meeting
and this Proxy Statement, will be paid by the Funds, and such mailing will take
place on approximately July 12, 1995. Representatives of Piper Capital
Management Incorporated (the "Adviser"), the investment adviser and manager of
each Fund, may, without cost to the Funds, solicit proxies on behalf of the
management of the Funds by means of mail, telephone, or personal calls. The
address of the Adviser is that of the Funds as provided above.
A proxy may be revoked before the meeting by giving written notice of
revocation to the Secretary of the Funds, or at the meeting prior to voting.
Unless revoked, properly executed proxies in which choices are not specified by
the shareholders will be voted "for" each item for which no choice is specified,
in accordance with the recommendation of each Fund's Board of Directors. In
instances where choices are specified by the shareholders in the proxy, those
proxies will be voted or the vote will be withheld in accordance with the
shareholder's choice. With regard to the election of directors, votes may be
cast in favor or withheld; votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely
from the vote and will have no effect. Abstentions may be specified on all
proposals other than the election of directors and will be counted as present
for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at the meeting
with respect to the item on which the abstention is noted, but will be counted
as a vote "against" such item. Under the Rules of the New York Stock Exchange,
each of the proposals being considered at the meeting is considered a
"discretionary" proposal, which means that brokers who hold Fund shares in
street name for customers are authorized to vote on such proposal on behalf of
their customers with or without specific voting instructions from such
customers. Should any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the
intention of the persons named as proxies in the enclosed proxy to act upon them
according to their best judgment.
Only shareholders of record on June 23, 1995, may vote at the meeting or
any adjournments thereof. As of that date, there were issued and outstanding
common shares, each with a $.01 par value, of each Fund as follow:
SLA--13,437,867; ASP--5,312,521; BSP--20,189,335; and CSP--27,058,496. Common
shares represent the only class of securities of each Fund. Each shareholder of
the Funds is entitled to one vote for each share held. None of the matters to be
presented at the meeting will entitle any shareholder to appraisal rights. No
person, to the knowledge of Fund management, was the beneficial owner of more
than 5% of the voting shares of any of the Funds as of June 26, 1995.
THE FUNDS' ANNUAL REPORTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1994 OF
SLA AND ASP AND MAY 31, 1995 OF BSP AND CSP, INCLUDING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,
WERE PREVIOUSLY MAILED TO SHAREHOLDERS. IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPORT FOR
YOUR FUND OR WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE ANOTHER COPY, PLEASE CONTACT THE FUNDS AT 222
SOUTH NINTH STREET, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55402, OR CALL 800-866-7778,

</TABLE>
*Denotes Directors who are "interested persons" (as defined by the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Funds. Mr. Ellis is deemed an
"interested person" of the Funds because of his positions with the Adviser
and/or its affiliates
Except as indicated above, the Directors of the Funds are not directors of
any other "reporting companies." As of June 26, 1995, the officers and Directors
of the Funds as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding
shares of each Fund. None of the Funds' officers or Directors has a family
relationship with any other Fund officer or Director, except that Michael P.
Jansen and Kevin A. Jansen, who are officers of each Fund, are brothers.
The Board of Directors of each Fund has established an Audit Committee,
currently consisting of Mr. Dyer, Ms. Emmerich and Ms. Goldberg, who serves as
its chairperson. The Audit Committee met twice during the most recently ended
fiscal year for each of the Funds. The Funds do not have nominating or
compensation committees.
The functions to be performed by the Audit Committee are to recommend
annually to the Board a firm of independent certified public accountants to
audit the books and records of the Funds for the ensuing year; to monitor that
firm's performance; to review with the firm the scope and results of each audit
and determine the need, if any, to extend audit procedures; to confer with the
firm and representatives of the Funds on matters concerning the Funds' financial
statements and reports including the appropriateness of its accounting practices
and of its financial controls and procedures; to evaluate the independence of
the firm; to review procedures to safeguard portfolio securities; to review the
purchase by the Funds from the firm of non-audit services; to review all fees
paid to the firm; and to facilitate communications between the firm and the
Funds' officers and Directors.
The Board of Directors also has established a Committee of the Independent
Directors, consisting of Mr. Bennett, who serves as chairperson, Messrs. Dyer
and Latimer, Ms. Emmerich and Ms. Goldberg and a Derivatives Committee
consisting of Ms. Emmerich, who serves as chairperson, Ms. Goldberg and Mr.
Dyer. The Committee of the Independent Directors met two times for SLA and ASP
and ten times for BSP and CSP and the Derivatives Committee met one time (for
all Funds) from their formation on November 1, 1994 through the most recent
fiscal year end for each of the Funds.
The functions of the Committee of the Independent Directors are: (a)
recommendation to the full Board of approval of any management, advisory,
sub-advisory and/or administration agreements; (b) recommendation to the full
Board of approval of any underwriting and/or distribution agreements; (c) review
of the fidelity bond and premium allocation; (d) review of errors and omissions
and any other joint insurance policies and premium allocation; (e) review of,
and monitoring of compliance with, procedures adopted pursuant to certain rules
promulgated under the 1940 Act; and (f) such other duties as the independent
directors shall, from time to time, conclude are necessary or appropriate to
carry out their duties under the 1940 Act. The functions of the Derivatives
Committee are: (a) to oversee practices, policies and procedures of the Adviser
in connection with the use of derivatives; (b) to receive periodic reports from
management and independent accountants; and (c) to report periodically to the
Committee of the Independent Directors and the Board of Directors.
During their most recently ended fiscal years, there were seven meetings of
the Board of Directors of SLA and ASP and five meetings of the Board of
Directors of BSP and CSP. All Directors, except Mr. Ellis and Ms. Goldberg,
attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board of Directors
and meetings of committees of which they were members that were held while they
were serving on the Board of Directors or on such committee. Mr. Ellis (who is
not on any committees) attended four of the seven meetings of the Board of
Directors of SLA and ASP. Ms. Goldberg attended seven of the ten of the
aggregate of the meetings of the Board of Directors and meetings of committees
of which she was a member of SLA and ASP.
No compensation is paid by the Funds to any Directors who are officers or
employees of the Adviser or any of its affiliates. The Funds, together with all
closed-end investment companies managed by the Adviser, pay each of the other
Directors an aggregate quarterly retainer of $5,000, which is allocated among
the Funds and such other investment companies on the basis of each company's net
assets. In addition, each Fund pays each such Director a fee for each in-person
meeting of the Board of Directors he or she attends. Such fee is based on the
net asset value of the Fund and ranges from $250 (net assets of less than $200
million) to $1,500 (net assets of $5 billion or more). Members of the Audit
Committee who are not affiliated with the Adviser receive $1,000 per meeting
attended ($2,000 for the chairperson of such Committee) with such fee being
allocated among all closed- and open-end investment companies managed by the
Adviser on the basis of relative net asset values. Members of the Committee of
the Independent Directors and the Derivatives Committee currently receive no
additional compensation. In addition, each Director who is not affiliated with
the Adviser is reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with attending
meetings.
The following table sets forth the aggregate compensation received by each
Director during the most recently ended fiscal year of each Fund, as well as the
total compensation received by each Director from the Funds and all other
open-end and closed-end investment companies managed by the Adviser or an
affiliate of the Adviser (the "Fund Complex") during the calendar year ended
December 31, 1994. Directors who are officers or employees of the Adviser or any
of its affiliates did not receive any such compensation and are not included in
the table.

* Consists of 26 open-end and closed-end investment companies managed by the
Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser, including the Funds. Each director
included in the table, other than Mr. Bennett, serves on the board of each
such open-end and closed end investment company. Mr. Bennett serves on the
board of 24 of such open-end and closed-end investment companies.
The Directors recommend that the shareholders of each Fund vote in favor of
the foregoing nominees to serve as Directors of each Fund. The vote of a
majority of shares of each Fund represented at the meeting, provided at least a
quorum (a majority of the outstanding shares) is represented in person or by
proxy, is sufficient for the election of the above nominees. Unless otherwise
instructed, the proxies will vote for the above six nominees. In the event any
of the above nominees are not candidates for election at the meeting, the
proxies will vote for such other persons as the Board of Directors may
designate. Nothing currently indicates that such a situation will arise.
PROPOSAL TWO
RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") provides that every
registered investment company shall be audited at least once each year by
independent public accountants selected by a majority of the directors of the
investment company who are not interested persons of the investment company or
its investment adviser. The 1940 Act requires that the selection be submitted
for ratification or rejection by the shareholders at their next annual meeting
following the selection.
The Directors, including a majority who are not interested persons of the
Adviser or the Funds, have selected KPMG Peat Marwick LLP to be the Funds'
independent public accountants for the fiscal years ending November 30, 1995 for
SLA and ASP and May 31, 1996 for BSP and CSP. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP has no
direct or material indirect financial interest in the Funds or in the Adviser,
other than receipt of fees for services to the Funds. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP also
serves as the independent public accountants for each of the other investment
companies managed by the Adviser. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP has been the independent
public accountants for the Funds since each commenced operations.
Representatives of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP are expected to be present at the
meeting. Such representatives will be given the opportunity to make a statement
to the shareholders if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to
respond to any questions that may be raised at the meeting.
The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders of each Fund vote
in favor of the ratification of the selection of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the
independent public accountants for the Funds. The vote of a majority of the
shares of each Fund represented at the meeting, provided at least a quorum (a
majority of the outstanding shares) is represented in person or by proxy, is
sufficient for the ratification of the selection of the independent public
accountants. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxies will vote for the
ratification of the selection of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as each Fund's
independent public accountants.
