Fund Inc.

Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide you with the first quarter report for the
Greenwich Street Municipal Fund Inc. (the "Fund") for the three-month period
ended August 31, 1996. Over the three-month period covered by this report, the
Fund distributed dividends totaling $0.18 per share. The table below details the
annualized distribution rates based on the Fund's August 31, 1996 net asset
value (NAV) per share and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closing price:
Annualized
Price Per Share Distribution Rate
--------------- -----------------
$11.98 (NAV) 6.01%
$11.75 (NYSE) 6.13%
For the three months ended August 31, 1996, the Fund had a negative total
return on NAV of 0.19%. In comparison, closed end municipal bond funds posted an
average total return of 2.22% for the same time period, as reported by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper is an independent fund tracking organization.)
Municipal Bond Market Update
Although this has been a challenging period for the fixed income markets,
the municipal bond market has outperformed the U.S. government bond market. In
our view, this can be attributed to the modest supply of municipal bonds that
have been issued. In recent months, investors have been seeking to reinvest
proceeds of municipal bonds that have either matured or been called, back into
the municipal bond market. However, at the same time, the supply of new issues
has been far below recent averages, and is very close to the low for the year.
This increased demand combined
- ---------------------------------- 1 ---------------------------------
<PAGE>
with light supply has caused municipal bond prices to stay higher, and yields to
conversely remain lower, relative to those of U.S. Treasury securities.
Fund's Investment Strategy
The Fund had maintained a more defensive investment strategy from the end
of 1995 up until May of 1996. We purchased higher coupon issues and shortened
maturities so that at the beginning of 1996 we were in a position to protect the
Fund's NAV in a rather hostile market environment. We maintained this
conservative position through the middle of May until the yield on the 30-year
U.S. Treasury bond rose above 7.10% and yields on high grade long-term municipal
bonds rose above 6.20%. At this point we changed the Fund's investment strategy
because we believed it was time to lock in those yields as we became more
positive on the market. Since May, every time municipal bond yields have risen
even close to those levels, we have added to our existing high grade discount
coupon positions because we feel the market at these rates is quite attractive.
In addition, we have added issues with longer maturities. As of August 31, 1996,
the Fund's average weighted maturity was 23.5 years versus 22 years on May 31,
1996.
As of August 31, 1996, approximately 91% of the Fund's holdings were rated
investment grade (BBB/Baa and higher) by either Standard and Poor's Corporation
or Moody's Investors Service Inc., with 51% of the Fund invested in AAA/Aaa
bonds, the highest possible rating. (Standard and Poor's and Moody's are two
major credit reporting and bond rating agencies.) The Fund's largest holdings
are concentrated in general obligation bonds (15.0%), hospital bonds (14.4%),
utility bonds (13.8%) and water/sewer bonds (12.1%).
Municipal Bond Market Outlook
Going forward, we expect the municipal bond market should benefit from a
comfortably low inflation rate, a Federal Reserve that seems content with
short-term rates right where they are, an economy that is not overly robust, and
municipalities that are issuing new debt sparingly. For these reasons, we
maintain a positive outlook on the market for the balance of 1996.
As stated in our municipal bond market update, supply has been light, which
has allowed municipal bonds to outperform government bonds for all of 1996, and
should do so going forward. In our view, the rate of U.S.
- ---------------------------------- 2 ---------------------------------
<PAGE>
economic growth will moderate somewhat in the next quarter or two, and allow
long-term rates to ease from their current levels. The market at today's levels
is attractively priced and, with limited supply, provides investors with
attractive after-tax yields. Furthermore, municipal bonds may offer capital
appreciation possibilities if the economic numbers ease at all.
In closing, thank you for investing in the Greenwich Street Municipal Fund
Inc. We look forward to continuing to help you achieve your financial goals.
Sincerely,
/s/ Heath B. McLendon /s/ Joseph P. Deane

Bond Ratings
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All ratings are by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard & Poor's"), except
that those identified by an asterisk (*) are rated by Moody's Investors Services
Inc. ("Moody's"). The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth
below:
Standard & Poor's -- Ratings from "AA" to "BBB" may be modified by the addition
of a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign to show relative standings within the major
rating categories.
AAA -- Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely
strong.
AA -- Bonds rated "AA" have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differ from the highest rated issue only in a small
degree.
A -- Bonds rated "A" have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt
in higher rated categories.
BBB -- Bonds rated "BBB" are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher
rated categories.
Moody's -- Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 may be applied to each generic rating
from "Aa" to "Baa", where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest rating
within its generic category.
Aaa -- Bonds that are rated "Aaa" are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally
referred to as "gilt edge." Interest payments are protected by a large
or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While
the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as
can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong
position of such issues.
Aa -- Bonds that are rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the "Aaa" group they comprise what are
generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the
best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in
"Aaa" securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make
the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.
A -- Bonds that are rated "A" possess many favorable investment attributes
and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors
giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but
elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment
some time in the future.
Baa -- Bonds that are rated "Baa" are considered as medium grade obligations,
i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest
payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but
certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such
bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have
speculative characteristics as well.
NR -- Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poor's or Moody's.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
Greenwich Street Municipal Fund Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland corporation, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
non-diversified, closed-end management investment company.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are:
(a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities are
valued at the mean between bid and asked prices provided by an independent
pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal obligations,
quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable
securities and various relationships between securities; (c) securities maturing
within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized
premium, as applicable; (d) gains or losses on the sale of securities are
calculated by using the specific identification method; (e) interest income,
adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of original issue discount,
is recorded on the accrual basis; market discount is recognized upon the
disposition of the security; (f) dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date; (g) the Fund intends to comply with the
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of
taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income
and excise taxes; (h) certain prior years amounts have been restated to reflect
current year's presentation. Net investment income, realized gains, and net
assets were not affected by this change; and (i) estimates and assumptions are
required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets
resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the
economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in
determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), through its Greenwich Street Advisors division,
acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays SBMFM an advisory fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities but excluding
short-term securities) were $85,837,952 and $71,627,505, respectively.
At August 31, 1996, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of investments were as follows:
================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation $ (5,291,213)*

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized depreciation $ (6,698,945)*
================================================================================
* Substantially the same for Federal income tax purposes.
4. Dividends, Exempt-Interest Dividends and Other Distributions
The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular Federal income tax and from
designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed
to the shareholders of the Fund.
Capital gain distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the Fund's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), a shareholder
whose Common Stock is registered in his own name will have all distributions
reinvested automatically by First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("First
Data") as agent under the Plan, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash.
Distributions with respect to shares registered in the name of a broker-dealer
or other nominee (that is, in "street name") will be reinvested by the broker or
nominee in additional Common Stock under the Plan, but only if the service is
provided by the broker or nominee, and the broker or nominee makes an election
on behalf of the shareholder to participate in the Plan. Distributions with
respect to Common Stock registered in the name of Smith Barney will
automatically be reinvested by Smith Barney in additional shares under the Plan
unless the shareholder elects to receive distributions in cash. A shareholder
who holds Common Stock registered in the name of a broker or other nominee may
not be able to transfer the Common Stock to another broker or nominee and
continue to participate in the Plan. Investors who own Common Stock registered
in street name should consult their broker or nominee for details regarding
reinvestment.
The number of shares of Common Stock distributed to participants in the
Plan in lieu of a cash dividend is determined in the following manner. Whenever
the market price of the Fund's Common Stock is equal to or exceeds the net asset
value per share, participants will be issued shares of Common Stock valued at
the greater (i) net asset value per share or (ii) 95% of the then current market
price. If the net asset value per share of Common Stock at the time of valuation
exceeds the market price of the Common Stock, First Data will buy shares of the
Fund's Common Stock on the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or
elsewhere, beginning on the payment date of the dividend or distribution, until
it has expended for such purchases all of the cash that would otherwise be
payable to the participants.
First Data may commence purchasing shares beginning on the record date for
the dividend or distribution. The number of purchased shares that will then be
credited to the participants' accounts will be based on the average per share
purchase price of the shares so purchased, including brokerage commissions. If
First Data commences purchases in the open market and the market price of the
shares subsequently exceeds net asset value before the completion of the
purchases, First Data will attempt to terminate purchases in the open market and
cause the Fund to issue the remaining dividend or distribution in shares at net
asset value per share. In
- ---------------------------------- 22 ---------------------------------
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(unaudited) (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this case, the number of shares of Common Stock received by the participant will
be based on the weighted average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open
market and the price at which the Fund issues the remaining shares.
Plan participants are not subject to any charge for reinvesting dividends
or capital gains distributions. Each Plan participant will, however, bear a
proportionate share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to First
Data's open market purchases of shares of Common Stock in connection with
reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions.
A participant in the Plan will be treated for Federal income tax purposes
as having received, on the dividend payment date, a dividend or distribution in
an amount equal to the cash that the participant could have received instead of
shares of Common Stock.
A shareholder may terminate participation in the Plan at any time by
notifying First Data in writing. A termination will be effective immediately if
notice is received by First Data not less than 10 days before any dividend or
distribution record date. Otherwise, the termination will be effective, and only
with respect to any subsequent dividends or distributions, on the first trading
day after the dividend or distribution has been credited to the participant's
account in additional shares of Common Stock of the Fund. Upon termination
according to a participant's instructions, First Data will either (a) issue
certificates for the whole shares credited to a Plan account and a check
representing any fractional shares or (b) sell the shares in the market. There
will be $5.00 fee assessed for liquidation service, plus brokerage commissions,
and First Data is authorized to sell a sufficient number of a participant's
shares to cover such amounts.
The Plan is described in more detail on pages 38-40 of the Fund's
Prospectus dated June 16, 1994. Information concerning the Plan may be obtained
from First Data at (800) 331-1710.
