LEGAL INFORMATION

For more  information,  including charges and expenses,  call  1-800-US-FUNDS or
visit us on the Web at  www.usfunds.com.  Please read the  prospectus  carefully
before investing;  it details the special risks,  including political,  currency
and economic  risks,  of investing in emerging  markets.  U.S. stands for United
Services. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns
and  principal of accounts in non-money  market funds may  fluctuate so that you
may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.

Lipper Analytical Services ranked the U.S. Government Securities Savings Fund #5
and #1 for the  one-  and  five-year  periods  ended  3/31/97  out of 115 and 79
government money market funds, respectively.

Morningstar uses a proprietary  rating system to show historical,  risk-adjusted
performance  as of 3/31/97.  These ratings may change monthly and are calculated
from the funds' one-, three-, five- and ten-year (when available) average annual
returns  in  excess  of  90-day  Treasury  bill  returns,  with  an  appropriate
adjustment  for fees and expenses and with a risk factor  reflecting  the funds'
performance  below 90-day  T-bill  returns.  The one-year  ranking is calculated
using  the same  methodology  but is not a  component  of the  overall  ranking.
Morningstar  awards five stars to funds in the top 10% of their  category,  four
stars to funds in the next 22.5%,  three stars to the next 35%, two stars to the
next  22.5%  and one star to funds in the  bottom  10%.  A summary  of  rankings
follows for the funds noted on the reverse.
