Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Spectrum Series
Monthly Report
November 1999

Dear Limited Partner:

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

Funds                    N.A.V.                   % change for month
Spectrum Global Balanced $15.81                           1.97%
Spectrum Select          $21.65                           3.25%
Spectrum Strategic       $14.49                           4.82%
Spectrum Technical       $14.36                           1.88%

During November, several of the markets that had trended during much of the
third quarter of 1999 and subsequently experienced reversals and short-term
price volatility from mid to late October, re-established their price
trends and moved in a consistent manner.  Markets such as the U.S. dollar,
the Japanese yen and crude oil resumed previous price trends and thus
proved profitable for Spectrum Technical and Spectrum Select.
Historically, it has been similar price trends and the lack of choppy price
movement that has helped the Funds' long-term technical trend-following
money managers profit as they did during November.

The re-emergence of the upward momentum in the U.S. dollar relative to the
euro and Swiss franc, as well as the continued strength of the Japanese yen
versus other major currencies, contributed positively to Spectrum Technical
and Spectrum Select's performance during the month.  Short positions in the
euro and the Swiss franc were profitable as the value of these European
currencies declined following an interest rate increase by the European
Central Bank ("ECB"), the Swiss National Bank's decision not to follow the
ECB's rate hike and questions regarding the European economy.  Additional
currency gains were recorded from long Japanese yen positions as the value
of the yen strengthened to a 4-year high versus the U.S. dollar following
the release of optimistic Japanese economic data.

In the commodities markets, oil prices, prior to October, had climbed from
below $12 a barrel in January to nearly $25 a barrel in September.  Sudden
price reversals and short-term volatility during October were followed by a
resumed upward climb reaching a nine-year high above $27 a barrel during
November.  The increase in oil prices, which in turn was profitable for the
Fund's long positions, was primarily attributed to reports of low supplies,
increasing demand from Asia and heightening diplomatic tensions between
Iraq and the United Nations.  Additional gains were recorded in the
commodities markets from long coffee futures positions as coffee prices
soared higher as dry weather persisted in Brazil.

The future direction of U.S. interest rates, and to a lesser extent
European interest rates, came into importance during the month as the U.S.
Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England each
raised their key interest rates.  As a result, bond prices remained in a
short-term volatile pattern, thus resulting in losses within the global
interest rate futures markets.  These losses were mitigated by profits from
long positions in global stock index futures as equity prices pushed higher
on beliefs that the interest rate increases would be the last for the near-
term.

In Spectrum Global Balanced, a balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds and
managed futures, gains were recorded during November due primarily to gains
recorded in the global stock index futures component of the balanced
portfolio from long positions in European stock index futures as prices
moved higher due to the strength of the U.S. equity market and in relief
that the interest rate hikes by the European Central Bank and Bank of
England were by the amounts expected.  In the currency markets, gains were
recorded from short crossrate positions, particularly the euro and Swiss
franc versus the Japanese yen.  The yen strengthened versus these
currencies in anticipation of Japan's economic stimulus package and from
increased optimism for Japan's economic recovery.  In the energy markets,
gains were recorded from short natural gas futures positions as prices
declined amid periodic shots of cold air which were likely to cause only
brief boosts in demand in the Northeast, coupled with reports that most of
the central and western areas of the U.S. would be warmer than usual.  In
the agricultural markets, smaller gains were recorded from short wheat
futures positions as wheat prices declined.  A portion of these gains was
offset by losses recorded in the fixed income component from long positions
in
<PAGE>
U.S. interest rate futures as domestic bond prices declined as the dollar's
deterioration against the Japanese yen triggered a sharp, broad sell-off.

In Spectrum Strategic, a Fund managed by multiple trading advisors who
employ fundamental trading methodologies, gains were recorded during
November due primarily to profits recorded from long positions in crude oil
futures as oil prices soared to nine-year highs.  Oil prices increased
after Iraq withdrew its exports from the international markets and from
speculation over whether world producers would extend an output cutback.
These gains were partially offset by losses recorded in this market sector
from long natural gas futures positions as prices declined amid periodic
shots of cold air which were likely to cause only brief boosts in demand in
the Northeast, coupled with reports that most of the central and western
areas of the U.S. would be warmer than usual.  In the global stock index
futures market, gains were recorded from long S&P 500 Index futures
positions as U.S. equity prices moved higher after the Federal Reserve
announced its decision to raise interest rates, leading investors to
believe that the increase would be the last for the near-term.  In the soft
commodities markets, gains were recorded from long coffee futures positions
as coffee prices increased as dry weather persisted in Brazil.  A portion
of the Fund's overall gains for the month was offset by losses incurred
later in the month in the global interest rate futures markets from long
positions in U.S. interest rate futures as domestic bond prices declined as
the U.S. dollar's decline against the Japanese yen triggered a sharp, broad
sell-off.  In the metals markets, smaller losses were experienced later in
the month from long positions in gold futures as gold prices fell on
disappointment over a gold auction by the Bank of England.

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, but
not limited to, 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.

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 Limited
Partnership interest ("Unit(s)") 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.

and continuing offering expenses including legal, auditing,

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
