ITEM 77Q(i) - COPIES OF ANY NEW OR AMENDED REGISTRANT INVESTMENT ADVISORY
CONTRACTS


Amendment to
Investment Advisory Contract
between
Federated Limited Duration Government Fund, Inc.
and
Federated Investment Management Company

	This Amendment to the Investment Advisory Contract ("Agreement") dated
July 22, 1991, between Federated Limited Duration Government Fund, Inc.
("Fund") and Federated Investment Management Company ("Service Provider")
is made and entered into as of the 1st day of June, 2001.

	WHEREAS, the Fund has entered into the Agreement with the Service
Provider;

	WHEREAS, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Regulation
S-P at 17 CFR Part 248 to protect the privacy of individuals who obtain a
financial product or service for personal, family or household use;

         WHEREAS, Regulation S-P permits financial institutions, such as the
Fund, to disclose "nonpublic personal information" ("NPI") of its
"customers" and "consumers" (as those terms are therein defined in
Regulation S-P) to affiliated and nonaffiliated third parties of the Fund,
without giving such customers and consumers the ability to opt out of such
disclosure, for the limited purposes of processing and servicing transactions
(17 CFR  248.14) ("Section 248.14 NPI"); for specified law enforcement and
miscellaneous purposes (17 CFR  248.15) ("Section 248.15 NPI") ; and to
service providers or in connection with joint marketing arrangements (17 CFR
248.13) ("Section 248.13 NPI");

         WHEREAS, Regulation S-P provides that the right of a customer and
consumer to opt out of having his or her NPI disclosed pursuant to 17 CFR
248.7 and 17 CFR  248.10 does not apply when the NPI is disclosed to service
providers or in connection with joint marketing arrangements, provided the
Fund and third party enter into a contractual agreement that prohibits the
third party from disclosing or using the information other than to carry out
the purposes for which the Fund disclosed the information (17 CFR  248.13);

	NOW, THEREFORE, the parties intending to be legally bound agree as
follows:

1.	The Fund and the Service Provider hereby acknowledge that the Fund may
disclose shareholder NPI to the Service Provider as agent of the Fund
and solely in furtherance of fulfilling the Service Provider's
contractual obligations under the Agreement in the ordinary course of
business to support the Fund and its shareholders.



2.	The Service Provider hereby agrees to be bound to use and redisclose
such NPI only for the limited purpose of fulfilling its duties and
obligations under the Agreement, for law enforcement and miscellaneous
purposes as permitted in 17 CFR  248.15, or in connection with joint
marketing arrangements that the Funds may establish with the Service
Provider in accordance with the limited exception set forth in 17 CFR
248.13.

3.	The Service Provider further represents and warrants that, in accordance
with 17 CFR  248.30, it has implemented, and will continue to carry out
for the term of the Agreement, policies and procedures reasonably
designed to:
*	insure the security and confidentiality of records and NPI of Fund
customers,
*	protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or
integrity of Fund customer records and NPI, and
*	protect against unauthorized access to or use of such Fund customer
records or NPI that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience
to any Fund customer.

4.   The Service Provider may redisclose Section 248.13 NPI only to: (a)
the Fund and affiliated persons of the Fund ("Fund Affiliates"); (b)
affiliated persons of the Service Provider ("Service Provider
Affiliates") (which in turn may disclose or use the information only to
the extent permitted under the original receipt); (c) a third party not
affiliated with the Service Provider of the Fund ("Nonaffiliated Third
Party") under the service and processing (248.14) or miscellaneous
(248.15) exceptions, but only in the ordinary course of business to
carry out the activity covered by the exception under which the Service
Provider received the information in the first instance; and (d) a
Nonaffiliated Third Party under the service provider and joint marketing
exception (248.13), provided the Service Provider enters into a written
contract with the Nonaffiliated Third Party that prohibits the
Nonaffiliated Third Party from disclosing or using the information other
than to carry out the purposes for which the Fund disclosed the
information in the first instance.

5.   The Service Provider may redisclose Section 248.14 NPI and Section
248.15 NPI to: (a) the Fund and Fund Affiliates; (b) Service Provider
Affiliates (which in turn may disclose the information to the same
extent permitted under the original receipt); and (c) a Nonaffiliated
Third Party to whom the Fund might lawfully have disclosed NPI directly.

6.	The Service Provider is obligated to maintain beyond the termination
date of the Agreement the confidentiality of any NPI it receives from
the Fund in connection with the Agreement or any joint marketing
arrangement, and hereby agrees that this Amendment shall survive such
termination.
