Re:   T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the "Registrant")
      File Nos.: 002-65539/811-2958
      Post-Effective Amendment No. 81

Commissioners:

We are counsel to the above-referenced registrant which proposes to file,
pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 485 (the "Rule"), the above-referenced
Post-Effective Amendment (the "Amendment") to its registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Pursuant to paragraph (b)(4) of the Rule, we represent that the Amendment does
not contain disclosures which would render it ineligible to become effective
pursuant to paragraph (b) of the Rule.

Sincerely,
