Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Van Kampen California Value Municipal Income Trust:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Van
Kampen California Value Municipal Income Trust for the year ended October
31, 1998, we considered its internal control, including control activities
for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures
for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and
to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on
internal control.
The management of Van Kampen California Value Municipal Income Trust is
responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls.
Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's
objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are
fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or fraud may
occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal
control 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 internal control would not necessarily disclose all
matters in internal control 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 one or more of the internal control components does not reduce
to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or
fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial
statements 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 internal control and its
operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider
to be material weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management,
the Board of Trustees of Van Kampen California Value Municipal Income
Trust, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
