Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for
Flag Investors Value Builder Fund, Inc.
(File Nos. 33-46279 and 811-6600)
Gentlemen:
Flag Investors Value Builder Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is a
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland
with its principal place of business in Baltimore, Maryland. The
Fund is an open-end diversified management investment company
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act"). This opinion relates to shares of common stock, par value
$.001 per share, sold by the Fund in reliance upon Rule 24f-2
during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, the registration of
which is made definite by the filing of the attached Notice.
We have reviewed all proceedings taken by the Fund in connection
with the offer and sale of shares of common stock, par value
$.001 per share, which have been offered under Prospectuses
included as part of the Fund's Registration Statement on Form
N-1A, as amended to the date hereof, which has been filed with
the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and the 1940 Act
(collectively, the "Registration Statement").
We are of the opinion that such shares of common stock, when sold
and issued in return for the payment described in the Fund's
Registration Statement, were legally issued, fully paid and non-
assessable by the Fund.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
