In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Prudential Government Income Fund, Inc. ("Fund") for the year ended February 28, 1995, we considered its internal control structure, including procedures 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 the internal control structure. The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. Two of the objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure 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 the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure 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 the specific internal control structure elements 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 the internal control structure, including procedures for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of February 28, 1995. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Nicholas-Appelgate Fund, Inc. We have examined the accompanying description of the Prudential Dual Pricing Worksheet (the "Worksheet") application of State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), custodian and recordkeeper for the Prudential Mutual Funds (the "Funds"). Our examination included procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether (1) the accompanying description presents fairly, in all material respects, the aspects of State Street's policies and procedures that may be relevant to a Fund's internal control structure relating to the Worksheet, (2) the control structure policies and procedures included in the description were suitably designed to achieve the control objectives specified in the description, if those policies and procedures were complied with satisfactorily, and (3) such policies and procedures had been placed in operation as of June 30, 1993. The control objectives were specified by Prudential Mutual Fund Management. Our examination was performed in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and included those procedures we considered necessary in the circumstances to obtain a reasonable basis for rendering our opinion. In our opinion, the accompanying description of the aforementioned application presents fairly, in all material respects, the relevant aspects of State Street's policies and procedures that had been placed in operation as of June 30, 1993. Also, in our opinion, the policies and procedures, as described, are suitably designed to provide reasonable assurance that the specified control objectives would be achieved if the described policies and procedures were complied with satisfactorily. In addition to the procedures we considered necessary to render our opinion as expressed in the previous paragraph, we applied tests to specific policies and procedures, listed in Section I, to obtain evidence about their effectiveness in meeting the control objectives, described in Section I during the period from July 1, 1992 to June 30, 1993. The nature, timing, extent, and results of the tests are listed in Section II. In our opinion the policies and procedures that were tested, as described in Section II, were operating with sufficient effectiveness to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control objectives specified in Section I were achieved during the period from July 1, 1992 to June 30, 1993. The relative effectiveness and significance of specific policies and procedures at State Street, and their effect on assessments of control risk on the Funds are dependent on their interaction with the policies, procedures, and other factors present at individual Funds. We have performed no procedures to evaluate the effectiveness of policies and procedures at individual Funds in connection with this report. The description of policies and procedures at State Street is as of June 30, 1993, and information about tests of the operating effectiveness of specified policies and procedures covers the period from July 1, 1992 to June 30, 1993. Any projection of such information to the future is subject to the risk that, because of change, the description may no longer portray the system in existence. The potential effectiveness of specified policies and procedures at State Street is subject to inherent limitations and, accordingly, errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Furthermore, the projection of any conclusions, based on our findings, to future periods is subject to the risk that changes may alter the validity of such conclusions. This report is intended solely for use by the management and Boards of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, the independent auditors of the Funds and the Securities and Exchange Commission. DELOITTE & TOUCHE August 13, 1993 SECTION I Policies and Procedures Placed in Operation Prudential Dual Pricing Worksheet Effective January 22, 1990, the Funds, offered by Prudential Securities Incorporated (formerly Prudential-Bache Securities, Inc.) and Prudential Mutual Fund Distributors, Inc., adopted a dual pricing system. The dual pricing system consists of two classes of shares (Class A and Class B) for the Funds. The Class A shares are subject to a front-end sales load and the Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The two classes of shares represent interests in the same portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and are identical in all respects, except that each class is subject to different distribution expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to the Rule 12b-1 distribution plan pursuant to which such distribution expenses are paid. In order to allocate income and expenses between the two classes of shares, State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Funds' custodian and recordkeeper) utilizes the Prudential Dual Pricing Worksheet (the "Worksheet") (see Exhibit I). The Worksheet is a manual supplementary application that extracts relevant data from the Funds' primary accounting system, allocates income and expenses between the two classes of shares and computes the daily net asset value and, if applicable, the dividend/distribution for each class of shares. Internal accounting controls that are relevant to the Fund can be divided into two components - controls related to the mutual fund accounting system resident at State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "primary accounting system") and controls related to the Worksheet. The specific control objectives and policies and procedures relating to the Worksheet are described on pages 4 and 5. A description of the tests of the policies and procedures designed to obtain evidence about the operating effectiveness of those policies and procedures in achieving the specific control objectives is included in Section II. Control Objectives and Policies and Procedures Prudential Dual Pricing Worksheet The Worksheet is a supplementary manual application to the Funds' primary accounting system. Certain data is extracted from the primary accounting system to allocate income and expenses and to calculate the daily net asset value and, if applicable, dividends/distributions for each class of shares. The primary accounting system includes the details of transactions in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The following represents the internal accounting control objectives and policies and procedures for the allocation of income and expenses and the computation of the net asset value and, if applicable, the dividend/distribution for each class of shares utilizing the Worksheet. It does not cover the internal accounting control policies and procedures surrounding the processing of information into the Funds' primary accounting system. CONTROL OBJECTIVES CONTROL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES A. Capital share activity 1.

The daily net capital stock activity for each class for the current day is agreed to the Supersheet as described in Control Procedures A.1 and 2., above. 3. Percentage Assets by Class and Percentage Dividend Assets by Class are calculated for each class based upon information from the prior day Worksheet and information recorded on the Supersheet. CONTROL OBJECTIVES CONTROL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 4. Allocate investment income between classes based on the appropriate asset allocation percentage for each class. 5. Agree composite dividend income, interest income, income amortization, income equalization, management fees, other expenses, realized gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation/depreciation to the primary accounting system of the Fund. 6. Allocate expenses between classes as follows: a. Expenses directly attributable to each class (12b-1 distribution expenses) are calculated and recorded to that class. b. Expenses attributable to both classes are allocated in accordance with the appropriate asset allocation percentage for each class. 7. Allocate realized and unrealized gains and losses between the classes in accordance with the appropriate asset allocation percentage of each class. 8. Record dividends/distributions to shareholders of each class in the primary accounting system. 9. Aggregate the net assets for each class and agree to the total net assets per the primary accounting system. 10. For each class, reconcile the current day's NAV and, if applicable, the dividend/distribution to the previous day's NAV and dividend/distribution for each class. 11. The above procedures are reviewed by the Fund supervisor or manager. SECTION II Tests of Operating Effectiveness Prudential Dual Pricing Worksheet July 1, 1992 to June 30, 1993 We reviewed the methodology and procedures for calculating the daily net asset value and, if applicable, the dividends/distributions of the two classes of shares and the allocation of income and expenses between the two classes of shares. The following are the detailed procedures which we performed with respect to the Worksheet. These procedures were performed for selected days encompassing all Funds subject to dual pricing during the year ended June 30, 1993, which we believe is a representative sample, to test compliance with the control policies and procedures as described in Section I. Prudential Mutual Fund Management, Inc. is the manager of the Funds and has represented to us that adequate facilities are in place to ensure implementation of the methodology and procedures for calculating the net asset value and dividends/distributions of the two classes of shares and the allocation of income and expenses between the two classes of shares.
