Re: STRONG SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL BOND FUND, INC.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We represent Strong Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Company"),
in connection with its filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 15 (the
"Post-Effective Amendment") to the Company's Registration Statement
(Registration Nos. 33-42773; 811-6409) on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Securities Act") and the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Post-Effective Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the
Securities Act.
We have reviewed the Post-Effective Amendment and, in accordance with Rule
485(b)(4) under the Securities Act, hereby represent that the Post-Effective
Amendment does not contain disclosures which would render it ineligible to
become effective pursuant to Rule 485(b).
We consent to the use of this letter in the Post-Effective Amendment.
Very truly yours,
GODFREY & KAHN, S.C.
