Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide the quarterly report for the Greenwich Street
Municipal Fund Inc. ("Fund") for the three months ended August 31, 1997. During
the past quarter, the Fund distributed income dividends totaling $0.18 per
share. The table below shows the annualized distribution rate and three-month
total return based on the Fund's August 31, 1997 net asset value (NAV) per share
and its New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) closing price:
Price Annualized Three-Month
Per Share Distribution Rate* Total Return
--------- ------------------ ------------
$11.74 (NAV) 5.72% 2.85%
$11.688 (NYSE) 5.75% 4.33%
In comparison, general closed-end municipal bond funds posted an average
total return on NAV of 3.47% for the same time period, as reported by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper is a major fund-tracking organization.)
Municipal Bond Market Update
The past twelve months in the municipal bond market can be described in
three phases. The first phase was a meaningful rally that began late summer 1996
and culminated in Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") Chairman Alan Greenspan's
"irrational exuberance" speech in early December. The second phase was a notable
increase in rates because of subsequent fears of a major Fed rate action. The
final phase, culminating in today's market, is one
- ----------

share for twelve months.

in which rates are back to the levels present before the Fed chairman's speech.
We believe that today's municipal bond prices are quite appropriate, given the
low inflation that continues to be evident.
Investment Strategy
The Fund continues its investment strategy of selecting coupons and
maturities that should benefit the most from a further decline in long-term
interest rates. The Fund's average weighted maturity is approximately 24 years.
In addition, in every market downturn, we have sought out bonds with coupons
that would benefit from further drops in rates.
As of this report, the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield is approximately
6.7%, and it could decline to 6% in the near future if inflation remains at
today's low levels. Given our expectations for a continued moderate U.S.
economy, we continue to emphasize longer-term, deeper-discount bonds with very
high credit quality.
As of August 31, 1997, approximately 93% of the Fund's holdings were rated
investment grade (BBB/Baa and higher) by either Standard & Poor's Corporation or
Moody's Investors Service Inc., with about 60.4% of the Fund invested in AAA
bonds, the highest possible rating. (Standard & Poor's and Moody's are two major
credit reporting and bond rating agencies.) The Fund's largest holdings are
concentrated in water/sewer bonds (17.2%), transportation bonds (15.1%), general
obligation bonds (11.1%), education bonds (10.4%) and hospital bonds (10.0%).
Municipal Bond Market Outlook
Going forward, we expect a drop in long-term rates, probably sooner rather
than later. The inflation rate is still key for us, and until we begin to see
that deteriorate we will continue to maintain our positive outlook on municipal
bonds.
Municipal bonds have continued to be in tight supply, and there is little
reason to believe there is a major supply spike on the horizon. Municipals have
outperformed the taxable market in the past year and will likely continue to in
the near future. In our view, the municipal bond market at today's levels is
very competitively priced and will provide investors with attractive after-tax
yields. Furthermore, municipal bonds may have some capital appreciation
possibilities if the inflation numbers continue on today's steady path.

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 con sidered 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.

Short-Term Securities Ratings
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SP-1 -- Standard & Poor's highest rate rating indicating very strong or strong
capacity to pay principal and interest; those issues determined to
possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+)
sign.
A-1 -- Standard & Poor's highest commercial paper and variable-rate demand
obligation (VRDO) rating indicating that the degree of safety regarding
timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong; those issues
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted
with a plus (+) sign.
VMIG 1-- Moody's highest rating for issues having demand feature -- VRDO.
P-1 -- Moody's highest rating for commercial paper and for VRDO prior to the
advent of the VMIG 1 rating.

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 ask 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, which
approximates value; (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) the
character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. At May 31, 1997, reclassifications were made to the Portfolio's
capital accounts to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and gains
available for distributions under income tax regulations; 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. 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 ("Plan"), a shareholder whose
shares of Common Stock are registered in his or her own name will have all
distributions from the Fund reinvested automatically by 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 ("Street Name") will be reinvested by the broker or nominee in
additional shares under the Plan, unless the service is not provided by the
broker-dealer or nominee, or the shareholder elects to receive distributions in
cash. Investors who own Common Stock registered in Street Name should consult
their broker-dealers for details regarding reinvestment. All distributions to
Fund shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will be paid by check
mailed directly to the record holder by or under the direction of First Data as
dividend-paying agent.
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 Common Stock is equal to or exceeds the net asset value
per share at the time shares are valued for purposes of determining the number
of shares equivalent to the cash dividend or capital gains distribution. Plan
participants will be issued shares of Common Stock valued at the greater of (1)
the net asset value per share most recently determined as described under "Net
Asset Value" or (2) 95% of the market value.
If the net asset value per share of Common Stock at the time of valuation
exceeds the market price of the Common Stock, or if the Fund declares a dividend
or capital gains distribution payable only in cash, First Data will buy Common
Stock in the open market, on the NYSE or elsewhere, for the participants'
accounts.
If, following the commencement of the purchases and before First Data has
completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value of the
Common Stock, First Data will attempt to terminate purchases in the open market
and cause the Fund to issue the remaining dividend or distribution in shares a
price equal to the greater of (a) net asset value or (b) 95% of the then-current
market price. In this case, the number of shares of Common Stock received by a
Plan participant will be based on the weighted

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(unaudited) (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
average of prices paid for shares purchased in the open market and the price at
which the Fund issues the remaining shares. To the extent First Data is unable
to stop open market purchases and cause the Fund to issue the remaining shares,
the average per share purchase price paid by First Data may exceed the net asset
value of the Common Stock, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if
the dividend or capital gains distribution had been paid in Common Stock issued
by the Fund at net asset value. First Data will begin to purchase Common Stock
on the open market as soon as practicable after the record date of the dividend
or capital gains distribution, but in no event shall such purchases continue
later than 30 days after the payment date thereof, except when necessary to
comply with applicable provisions of the Federal securities laws.
First Data maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes
written confirmations of all transactions in each account, including information
needed by a shareholder for personal and tax records. The automatic reinvestment
of dividends and capital gains distributions will not relieve Plan participants
of any income tax that may be payable on the dividends or capital gains
distributions. Common Stock in the account of each Plan participant will be held
by First Data in uncertificated form in the name of each Plan participant, and
each shareholder's proxy will include those shares purchased pursuant to the
Plan.
Plan participants are subject to no charge for reinvesting dividends and
capital gains distributions. First Data's fees for handling the reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains distributions will be paid by the Fund. No brokerage
charges apply with respect to shares of Common Stock issued directly by the Fund
as a result of dividends or capital gains distributions payable either in Common
Stock or in cash. Each Plan participant will, however, bear a proportionate
share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to open market purchases
made in connection with the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains
distributions.
Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes to it are desirable.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to any
dividend or capital gains distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the
change sent to participants at least 30 days before the record date for the

dividend or capital gains distribution. The Plan also may be amended or
terminated by First Data, with the Fund's prior written consent, on at least 30
days' written notice to Plan participants. All correspondence concerning the
Plan should be directed by mail to First Data, P.O. Box 5128, Westborough,
Massachusetts 01581-5128 or by telephone at (800) 451-2010.
