To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
ofSalomon Brothers 2008 Worldwide Dollar
Government Term Trust Inc.In planning
and performing our audit of the financial
statements of Salomon Brothers 2008
Worldwide Dollar Government Term
Trust Inc (the "Fund") for the year ended
July 31, 1997, 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 the Fund 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 control activities.
Generally, control activities 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 control
activities include the safeguarding of
assets against unauthorized acquisition, use
or disposition.Because of inherent limitations
in internal control, errors or irregularities 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 any specific internal control components
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 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, including
control activities for safeguarding securities,
that we consider to be material weaknesses
as defined above as of July 31, 1997.
This report is intended solely for the
information and use of management and
the Board of Directors of the Fund and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
