REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
The Money Market Portfolios:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial
statements and financial highlights of The Money Market
Portfolios for the year ended June 30, 1995, we considered
its internal control structure, including procedures for
safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and financial highlights and to comply
with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide
assurance on the internal control structure.
The management of The Money Market Portfolios is responsible
for establishing and maintaining an internal control
structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgements by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of internal control structure
policies and procedures. Two of the objectives of an
internal control structure are to provide management with
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or
disposition and that transactions are executed in accordance
with management's authorization and recorded properly to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control
structure, errors or irregularities may occur and not be
detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the
structure to future periods is subject to the risk that it
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the effectiveness of the design and operation may
deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would
not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control
structure 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 the specific internal control
structure elements 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
and financial highlights 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 the internal control structure,
including procedures for safeguarding securities, that we
consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above, as of
June 30, 1995.
This report is intended solely for the information and use
of management of The Money Market Portfolios and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
