Rule 497(j) Filing
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, this letter serves as certification that the form of
Prospectus that would have been filed under paragraph (c) of Rule
497 would not have differed from that contained in Post-Effective
Amendment No. 20 to the Registration Statement of The Brinson
Funds which became effective with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Wednesday, February 11, 1998.
Please direct any questions or comments relating to this
certification to me or, in my absence, to Bruce G. Leto, Esquire
at (215) 564-8115.
Very truly yours,
MARK A. SHEEHAN
