Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Monthly Report
June 1999

Dear Limited Partner:

The Net Asset Value per Unit for each of the four Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter Spectrum Funds as of June 30, 1999 was as follows:

Funds                    N.A.V.                   % change for month
Spectrum Global Balanced $16.17                              2.30%
Spectrum Select          $23.64                              0.32%
Spectrum Strategic       $12.94                            21.58%
Spectrum Technical       $16.39                              5.13%

In Spectrum Global Balanced, a balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds and
managed futures, gains were recorded during June in the global stock index
futures component of the balanced portfolio from long positions in German
stock index futures as German equity prices were fueled by Japan's Nikkei
Index closing at its strongest level since October 1997 after a weaker yen
buoyed it.   Big gains in Hong Kong stocks also supported the German stock
market with a stable euro and a calmness on the interest rate front adding
to the well being of equities.  In the global interest rate futures
component, gains were recorded from short positions in European interest
rate futures, particularly Spanish bond futures, as prices declined due to
dampened sentiment regarding the European Monetary Union and fears of an
interest rate hike in the U.S.  In the livestock markets, gains were
recorded later in the month from short lean hog futures positions as prices
decreased in response to a bearish USDA quarterly hog report.  In soft
commodities, small gains were recorded from short cotton futures positions
as prices dropped late in the month on reports of beneficial rainfalls
across the Southeastern U.S.  A portion of the Fund's overall gains was
offset by losses in the metals markets from short positions in copper
futures as prices increased due to a drop in warehouse stocks and in
reaction to news that an Australian resources company will close its less-
than-profitable mines in the southwestern U.S.  In the currency markets,
losses were experienced from previously established short positions in the
Singapore dollar as its value increased versus the U.S. dollar during mid-
month due to the short-lived strength in the Japanese yen.

In Spectrum Select, a Fund managed by multiple trading advisors who employ
long-term technical trend-following trading strategies, gains were recorded
during June in the global interest rate futures markets from short
positions in European interest rate futures, particularly German bond
futures, as prices declined due to dampened sentiment regarding the
European Monetary Union and fears of an interest rate hike in the U.S.
Additional gains were recorded from short positions in U.S. interest rate
futures as domestic bond prices fell amid fears of a tighter Federal
Reserve monetary policy ahead of the month-end Federal Open Market
Committee meeting.  In the metals markets, gains were recorded from short
gold futures positions as prices dropped on bearish sentiment ahead of the
U.K. Treasury's gold auction on July 6, pressure from the U.S. dollar's
climb against the euro and speculation that the Central Bank of Russia
intends to spend forex reserves, which includes gold, to support the ruble.
In the livestock markets, gains were recorded later in the month from short
lean hog futures positions as prices decreased in response to a bearish
USDA quarterly hog report.  A portion of the Fund's overall gains was
offset by losses recorded in soft commodities from long coffee futures
positions as prices decreased early in the month amid warmer-than-expected
temperatures in Brazil and on abundant supplies.  In the global stock index
futures markets, losses were experienced early in the month from short
positions in Hang Seng Index futures as stock prices in the Pacific Rim
received a boost from the upward momentum in Tokyo stocks.

In Spectrum Strategic, a Fund managed by multiple trading advisors who
employ fundamental trading methodologies, substantial gains were recorded
primarily in the energy markets as the Fund exhibited a significant bias
toward rising prices.  As a result, a majority of the Fund's increase in
value came from long futures positions in crude oil and its refined
products, unleaded gas and heating oil, as oil prices increased during the
first half of the month amid a technical rally that was spurred by signs of
better demand, particularly from Asia, a decline in American crude reserves
and signs that OPEC member states were respecting output cuts agreed upon
in April.  The Fund's long positions in these markets were able to record
additional profits at month-end when oil prices broke through resistance
levels to reach the highest price since November 1997.  The strong upward
move in prices towards the end of June was largely attributed to further
evidence
<PAGE>
that OPEC's stringent output limits were eating into surplus stockpiles in
the U.S. and on reports that demand for gasoline and other petroleum
products was rising faster than forecasted.  In the global interest rate
futures markets, gains were recorded from short U.S. interest rate futures
positions as domestic bond prices fell amid fears of a tighter Federal
Reserve monetary policy ahead of the month-end Federal Open Market
Committee meeting.  In the global stock index futures markets, gains were
recorded from long Nikkei Index futures positions as the Japanese benchmark
index jumped higher amid hopes for an economic recovery in that region and
strong relief that the yen won't go higher due to the Bank of Japan's
intervention.  In the metals markets, gains were recorded from long copper
futures positions as prices were boosted by news that several major
producers would cut back production.  A portion of the Fund's overall gains
was offset by losses in the currency markets from short Japanese yen
positions as its value temporarily strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar
during mid-month on stronger-than-expected gross domestic product data from
Japan.  In the agricultural markets, small losses were experienced from
long positions in soybean futures as prices decreased sharply due to rain
in the western portion of the U.S. Midwest and forecasts for more
precipitation which should be beneficial for crops.

In Spectrum Technical, a Fund managed by multiple trading advisors who
employ long-term technical trend-following trading systems, gains were
recorded during June in the global interest rate futures markets from short
positions in European interest rate futures, particularly German bond
futures, as prices declined due to dampened sentiment regarding the
European Monetary Union and fears of an interest rate hike in the U.S.  In
the energy markets, gains were recorded from long futures positions in
crude oil and its refined products, unleaded gas and heating oil, as oil
prices increased after another unexpected drop in U.S. crude oil supplies
and signs of growing demand for gasoline.  In the global stock index
futures markets, gains were recorded from long Nikkei Index futures
positions as the Japanese benchmark index jumped higher amid hopes for an
economic recovery in that region and strong relief that the yen won't go
higher due to the Bank of Japan's intervention.  In the currency markets,
gains were recorded from short positions in the Swiss franc and the
European common currency, the euro, as the value of these currencies
weakened versus the U.S. dollar despite NATO's suspension of bombing and
the subsequent withdrawal of Serbian forces from Kosovo.  In the livestock
markets, gains were recorded later in the month from short lean hog futures
positions as prices decreased in response to a bearish USDA quarterly hog
report.  In the agricultural markets, gains were recorded from short
positions in soybean futures as prices posted new contract lows amid
favorable crop growing weather conditions in the U.S. Midwest.  A portion
of the Fund's overall gains was offset by losses in soft commodities from
long coffee futures positions as prices decreased early in the month amid
warmer-than-expected temperatures in Brazil and on abundant supplies.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization - Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Global
Balanced L.P. ("Spectrum Global Balanced"), Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter Spectrum Select L.P. ("Spectrum Select"), Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter Spectrum Strategic L.P. ("Spectrum Strategic") and
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Technical L.P. ("Spectrum
Technical") (individually, a "Partnership", or collectively,
the "Partnerships") are limited partnerships organized to
engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures and
forward contracts, options on futures contracts and on physical
commodities, and other commodities interests, including foreign
currencies, financial instruments, precious and industrial
metals, energy products, and agriculturals (collectively,
"futures interests").  The general partner for each Partnership
is Demeter Management Corporation ("Demeter").  The non-
clearing commodity broker is Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. ("DWR")
and an unaffiliated clearing commodity broker, Carr Futures
Inc. ("Carr"), provides clearing and execution services. Both
Demeter and DWR are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter & Co. ("MSDW").

Demeter is required to maintain a 1% minimum interest in the
equity of each Partnership and income (losses) are shared by
the General and Limited Partners based upon their proportional
ownership interests.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition - Futures interests are open commitments
until settlement date.  They are valued at market and the
resulting unrealized gains and losses are reflected in income.
Monthly, DWR pays each Partnership interest income based upon
80% of its average daily "Net Assets" (as defined in the
limited partnership agreements), for the month in the case of
Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical and
100% in the case of Spectrum Global Balanced.  The interest
rate is equal to a prevailing rate on U.S. Treasury bills.  For
purposes of such interest payments, Net Assets do not include
monies due  to the Partnership on futures interests, but not
actually received.

Net Income (Loss) per Unit - Net income (loss) per Unit is
computed using the weighted average number of units outstanding
during the period.

Brokerage and Related Transaction Fees and Costs - Brokerage
fees for Spectrum Global Balanced are accrued at a flat monthly
rate of 1/12 of 4.60% (a 4.60% annual rate) of the Net Assets
as of the first day of each month.

Brokerage fees for Spectrum Select, Spectrum Strategic and
Spectrum Technical are accrued at a flat monthly rate of 1/12
of 7.25% (a 7.25% annual rate) of the Net Assets as of the
first day of each month.

Such fee covers all brokerage commissions, transaction fees and
costs and ordinary administrative and continuing offering
expenses.

Operating Expenses - The Partnerships incur monthly management
fees and may incur incentive fees.  All common administrative
and continuing offering expenses including legal, auditing,
accounting, filing fees and other related expenses are borne by
DWR through the brokerage fees paid by each Partnership.

Income Taxes - No provision for income taxes has been made in
the accompanying financial statements, as partners are
individually responsible for reporting income or loss based
upon their respective share of each Partnership's revenues and
expenses for income tax purposes.

Distributions - Distributions, other than on redemptions of
Units, are made on a pro-rata basis at the sole discretion of
Demeter.  No distributions have been made to date.

Continuing Offering - Units of each Partnership are offered at
a price equal to 100% of the Net Asset Value per Unit as of the
close of business on the last day of the month.  No selling
commissions or charges related to the continuing offering of
Units are borne by the Limited Partners or the Partnership.
DWR will pays all such costs.

Redemptions - Limited Partners may redeem some or all of their
Units at 100% of the Net Asset Value Per Unit as of the end of
the last day that is six months after the closing at which a
person becomes a Limited Partner, upon five business days
advance notice by redemption form to Demeter.  Thereafter,
Units redeemed on or prior to the last day of the twelfth month
after such Units were purchased will be subject to a redemption
charge equal to 2% of the Net Asset Value of a Unit on the date
of such redemption.  Units redeemed after the last day of the
twelfth month and on or prior to the last day of the twenty-
fourth month after which such Units were purchased will be
subject to a redemption charge equal to 1% of the Net Asset
Value of a Unit on the date of such redemption.  Units redeemed
after the last day of the twenty-fourth month after which such
Units were purchased will not be subject to a redemption
charge.  The foregoing redemptions charges will be paid to DWR.
Redemptions must be made in whole Units, in a minimum amount of
50 Units, unless a Limited Partner is redeeming his entire
interest in a Partnership.

Spectrum Strategic and Spectrum Technical will terminate on

defined in each Partnership's Limited Partnership Agreement.

2.  Related Party Transactions

received by Spectrum Strategic at each monthly closing will be
allocated 75% to AICM, 0% to Blenheim, and 25% to Willowbridge

Incentive Fee - Spectrum Global Balanced, Spectrum Select and
Spectrum Strategic pay a monthly incentive fee equal to 15% of
the "Trading Profits" as defined in their Limited Partnership
Agreements, experienced with respect to each trading advisor's
allocated Net Assets as of the end of each calendar month.

Spectrum Technical pays a monthly incentive fee equal to 15% of
the Trading Profits experienced with respect to the Net Assets
allocated to Campbell and JWH and 19% of the Trading Profits
experienced with respect to the Net Assets allocated to
Chesapeake as of the end of each calendar month.

For all Partnerships when Trading Losses are incurred, no
incentive fee will be paid in subsequent months until the

trading losses are adjusted on a pro-rata basis for the net
amount of each months subscriptions and redemptions.
