("ACM I"), ACM Government Opportunity Fund, Inc. ("ACM IV"), ACM Managed Income Fund, Inc. ("ACM V"), ACM Municipal Securities Income Fund, Inc. ("ACM VII"), ACM Managed Dollar Income Fund, Inc. ("ACM VIII"), Alliance World Dollar Government Fund, Inc. ("AWDGF"), Alliance World Dollar Government Fund II, Inc. ("AWDGF II"), Alliance All-Market Advantage Fund, Inc. ("AMA"), Alliance California Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("ACMIF"), Alliance National Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("ANMIF") and Alliance New York Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("ANYMIF"), each of which is a Maryland corporation (individually, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), to be voted at a Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Funds (the "Meeting"), to be held at the offices of the Funds, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10105, on March 24, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The solicitation will be by mail and the cost for each Fund will be borne by that Fund. The Notice of Meeting, Proxy Statement and Proxy Card are being mailed to stockholders on or about February 22, 2005. The Board of Directors of each Fund has fixed the close of business on January 21, 2005 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any postponement or adjournment thereof. The outstanding voting shares of the Funds as of January 21, 2005 consisted of 228,402,531 shares of common stock of ACM I, 12,903,932 shares of common stock of ACM IV, 25,300,262 shares of 1 common stock and 900 shares of Remarketed Preferred Stock, Series A of ACM V, 11,145,261 shares of common stock and 1,200 shares of each of Municipal Income Preferred Shares, Series A, Series B and Series C of ACM VII, 22,707,703 shares of common stock of ACM VIII, 8,897,498 shares of common stock of AWDGF, 67,648,715 shares of common stock of AWDGF II, 3,670,019 shares of common stock of AMA, 8,519,002 shares of common stock and 1,620 shares of each of Auction Preferred Shares, Series M and Series T of ACMIF, 20,471,667 shares of common stock and 1,950 shares of each of Auction Preferred Shares, Series M, Series T, Series W and Series Th of ANMIF and 4,826,667 shares of common stock and 900 shares of each of Auction Preferred Shares, Series M and Series T of ANYMIF, each share being entitled to one vote. At the Meeting, the holders of the preferred stock of ACM V and the holders of each series of preferred stock of ACM VII, ACMIF, ANMIF and ANYMIF will have equal voting rights with the holders of the common stock of ACM V, ACM VII, ACMIF, ANMIF and ANYMIF (i.e., one vote per share), respectively, and will vote together with the holders of ACM V, ACM VII, ACMIF, ANMIF and ANYMIF common stock, respectively, as a single class on proposals that may be properly presented at the Meeting applicable to their respective Funds as described below. While the holders of the preferred stock of each of these Funds, voting separately as a class, have the right to elect two Directors of their Fund, however, only Dr. Hester, a preferred stock Director for these Funds, is standing for re-election at the Meeting. Ms. Block, the other preferred stock Director for these Funds, is not standing for re-election at the Meeting because her term does not expire until 2006. All properly executed and timely received proxies will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or as otherwise provided therein. Accordingly, unless instructions to the contrary are marked, proxies from the holders of the common stock and, if applicable, preferred stock, will be voted for the election of four Directors of each Fund. Any stockholder may revoke that stockholder's proxy at any time prior to exercise thereof by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Funds at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, by signing and delivering to the Secretary another proxy of a later date or by voting in person at the Meeting. Properly executed proxies may be returned with instructions to abstain from voting or to withhold authority to vote (an "abstention"). The shares represented by abstentions will be considered present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business. However, with respect to Proposal One, which is a matter to be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, abstentions, not being votes cast, will not have any effect on the election of Directors. If any proposal, other than Proposal One, properly comes before the Meeting, shares represented by proxies will be voted on all such proposals in the discretion of the person or persons holding the proxies. The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the stockholders of the Funds because the stockholders of all the Funds are to consider and vote on the election 2 of Directors. Stockholders of each Fund will vote separately on the election of Directors for that Fund and on any other matter that may properly come before the meeting for a Fund. An unfavorable vote by the stockholders of one Fund will not affect the vote on the election of Directors or any other matter by the stockholders of another Fund. A quorum for each Fund for the Meeting will consist of the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares of common stock, and preferred stock, if any, of the particular Fund. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting for a Fund or, even if a quorum is so present, in the event that sufficient votes in favor of the positions recommended by the Board of Directors on the proposal described in the Proxy Statement with respect to a Fund are not timely received, the persons named as proxies may propose and vote for one or more adjournments of the Meeting with respect to that Fund, with no other notice than announcement at the Meeting, in order to permit further solicitation of proxies. Shares represented by proxies indicating a vote contrary to the position recommended by the Board of Directors on any proposal as to which the Meeting is proposed to be adjourned will be voted against adjournment of the Meeting. Each Fund has engaged King Mutual Fund Services ("DF King"), 48 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005, to assist in soliciting proxies for the Meeting. DF King will receive a total fee of $9,900 for its services, to be paid by the Funds as follows: ACM I--$900, ACM IV--$900, ACM V--$900, ACM VII--$900, ACM VIII--$900, AWDGF--$900, AWDGF II--$900, AMA--$900, ACMIF--$900, ANMIF--$900 and ANYMIF--$900, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. PROPOSAL ONE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS At the Meeting, three Directors of each Fund will be elected to serve for terms of three years and, in each case, until his successor is elected and qualifies. In addition, for each Fund, one Director will be elected to serve for a term of two years. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders of a Fund is required to elect a Director. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to nominate and vote in favor of the election of the three or four individuals, as the case may be, as described below. Pursuant to the Funds' respective Charters and Bylaws, the Board of Directors of each Fund has been divided into three classes. With respect to all of the Funds, the terms of Class Two Directors will expire as of the Meeting, the terms of Class Three Directors will expire as of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2006 and the terms of Class One Directors will expire as of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2007. Upon expiration of the terms of the Directors of each class as set forth above, the terms of their successors in that class will continue until the end of their terms and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. 3 Under this classified Board structure, only those Directors in a single class may be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders. It would require two years of annual meeting elections to change a majority of the Board of Directors of a Fund, although Maryland law provides that stockholders may remove Directors under certain circumstances even if they are not then standing for re-election and, under regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), appropriate stockholder proposals may be included in the Funds' annual proxy statements. This classified Board structure, which may be regarded as an "anti-takeover" provision, may make it more difficult for a Fund's stockholders to change the majority of Directors of the Fund and, thus, have the effect of maintaining the continuity of management. On December 31, 2004, Donald J. Robinson resigned as Director of each of the Funds. The Board of Directors of each Fund elected Michael J. Downey as Director of each of the Funds to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Robinson's resignation. At the Meeting, three Directors, David H. Dievler, William H. Foulk, Jr. and James M. Hester are standing for re-election in Class Two of ACM I, ACM IV, ACM V, ACM VII, ACMIF, ANMIF and ANYMIF, and three Directors, John H. Dobkin, William H. Foulk, Jr. and James M. Hester are standing for re-election in Class Two of ACM VIII, AWDGF, AWDGF II and AMA. In addition, Mr. Downey is standing for election in Class One of each Fund. Each nominee has consented to serve as a Director. The Boards of Directors know of no reason why any of the nominees for the Boards of Directors will be unable to serve, but in the event any nominee is unable to serve or for good cause will not serve, the proxies received indicating a vote in favor of such nominee will be voted for such substitute nominees as the Boards of Directors may recommend. 4 Certain information concerning the Funds' Directors is set forth below.

As of January 21, 2005, the Directors and officers of each Fund as a group owned less than 1% of the shares of any Fund. During each Fund's most recently completed fiscal year, the Funds' Directors as a group did not engage in the purchase or sale of more than 1% of any class of securities of the Adviser or of any of its parents or subsidiaries. During its fiscal year ended in 2004, the Board of Directors of ACM I met 13 times; of ACM IV met 11 times; of ACM V, 10 times; of ACM VII, 10 times; of ACM VIII, 9 times; of AWDGF, 10 times; of AWDGF II, 11 times; of AMA, 11 times; of ACMIF, 10 times; of ANMIF, 10 times; and of ANYMIF, 10 times. The Funds do not have a policy that requires a Director to attend annual meetings of stockholders. 8 Each Fund's Board of Directors has two standing committees, an Audit Committee and a Governance and Nominating Committee. The members of the Audit and the Governance and Nominating Committees are identified above in the table listing Directors of the Funds. The Audit Committee of each Fund is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and meets during the fiscal year for the purposes set forth in the Audit Committee Charter. The members of the Audit Committee are "independent" as required by applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Audit Committee of each of the Funds met 3 times during its Fund's most recently completed fiscal year. The Governance and Nominating Committee of each of the Funds met 3 times during the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year. Each Fund's Board of Directors has adopted a charter for its Governance and Nominating Committee, a copy of which may be found on the Adviser's website, http://www.alliancebernstein.com (click on Investment Solutions/Mutual Funds/ Closed-End). Pursuant to the charter, the Governance and Nominating Committee assists the Board of Directors in carrying out its responsibilities with respect to governance of the Fund and identifies, evaluates and selects and nominates, or recommends to the Board of Directors, candidates for the Board. It also may set standards or qualifications for Directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee may consider candidates as Directors submitted by current Directors, the Fund's investment adviser, Fund stockholders and other appropriate sources. The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider candidates submitted by a stockholder or group of stockholders who have owned at least 5% of the Fund's outstanding common stock for at least two years at the time of submission and who timely provide specified information about the candidates and the nominating stockholder or group. To be timely for consideration by the Governance and Nominating Committee, the submission, including all required information, must be submitted in writing to the attention of the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Fund not less than 120 days before the date of the proxy statement for the previous year's annual meeting of stockholders. The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider only one candidate submitted by such a stockholder or group for nomination for election at an annual meeting of stockholders. The Governance and Nominating Committee will not consider self-nominated candidates. The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider and evaluate candidates submitted by stockholders on the basis of the same criteria as those used to consider and evaluate candidates submitted from other sources. These criteria include the candidate's relevant knowledge, experience, and expertise, the candidate's ability to carry out his or her duties in the best interests of the Fund and the candidate's ability to qualify as a disinterested Director. Each Board of Directors has adopted a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board. To communicate with the Board of Directors or an individual Director of a Fund, a stockholder must send a written communication to 9 that Fund's principal office at the address listed in the Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders accompanying this Proxy Statement, addressed to the Board of Directors of that Fund or the individual Director. All stockholder communications received in accordance with this process will be forwarded to the Board of Directors or the individual Director. None of the Funds pays any fees to, or reimburses expenses of, any Director during a time when the Director is considered an "interested person" of the Fund. The aggregate compensation paid by the Funds to the Directors during the Funds' respective fiscal years ended in 2004, the aggregate compensation paid to the Directors during calendar year 2004 by all of the investment companies in the AllianceBernstein Fund Complex, and the total number of investment companies in the AllianceBernstein Fund Complex as to which the Directors are a director or trustee and the number of investment portfolios as to which the Directors are directors or trustees, are set forth below.

Audit Committee Report - ---------------------- The following Audit Committee Report was adopted by the Audit Committee of each of the Funds. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, a copy of which may be found on the Adviser's website, http//www.alliancebernstein.com (click on Investment Solutions/Mutual Funds/Closed-End). The purposes of the Audit Committee are to (1) assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of the Funds' financial statements and the independent audit thereof; (ii) the Funds' compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the independent registered public accounting firm's ("Accounting Firm") independence, qualifications and performance; and (iv) the Funds' compliance with applicable laws by receiving reports from counsel who believe they have credible evidence of a material violation of law by the Funds or by someone owing a fiduciary or other duty to the Funds; and (2) to prepare this report. As set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, management of each of the Funds is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Funds' financial statements, the Funds' accounting and financial reporting principles and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent Accounting Firm of each of the Funds is responsible for auditing the Funds' financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has considered and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the independent Accounting Firm of each of the Funds. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent Accounting Firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the provision of any non-audit services not pre-approved by the Audit Committee provided by the Funds' independent Accounting Firm to the Adviser and to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the 14 Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Funds is compatible with maintaining the auditors' independence. Finally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent Accounting Firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect, and has discussed with the auditors the auditors' independence. The members of the Funds' Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the Funds and are not performing the functions of auditors or accountants. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit Committee or its members to conduct "field work" or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures or to set auditor independence standards. Members of the Audit Committee necessarily rely on the information provided to them by management and the independent auditors. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of the Funds' financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.) or that the Funds' auditors are in fact "independent". Based upon the reports and discussions described in this report, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee referred to above and in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of each of the Funds that the audited financial statements of the Funds be included in the Funds' annual report to stockholders for the most recent fiscal period. Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Funds' Board of Directors Ruth Block William H. Foulk, Jr. David H. Dievler Dr. James M. Hester John H. Dobkin Michael J. Downey Independent Accounting Firms' - ----------------------------- The Boards of Directors of each of the Funds at meetings held on December 14-16, 2004 (ACM I), June 15-17, 2004 (ACM IV, ACM V and ACM VIII), September 28-30, 2004 (ACM VII and AWDGF), March 16-18, 2004 (AWDGF II) and September 28-30, 2004 (ACMIF, ANMIF and ANYMIF), respectively, approved by the vote, cast in person, of a majority of the Directors of each Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons" of each Fund, Ernst & Young LLP, independent Accounting Firm to audit the accounts of AWDGF II (for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005), ACM IV (July 31, 2005), ACM V (August 31, 2005), ACM VIII (September 30, 2005), ACM VII (October 31, 2005), AWDGF (October 31, 2005), ACMIF (October 31, 2005), ANMIF (October 31, 2005), ANYMIF (October 31, 2005) and ACM I (December 31, 2005). The Board of Directors of AMA at a meeting held on September 28-30, 2004 similarly approved by vote, cast in person, of a majority of the Directors of 15 the Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons" of the Fund, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent Accounting Firm, to audit the accounts of AMA for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2005. In reliance on Rule 32a-4 under the Act, the Funds are not seeking stockholder ratification of the selection of their independent auditors. Ernst & Young LLP has audited the accounts of ACM I, ACM IV, ACM VII, ACM VIII, AWDGF, AWDGF II, ACMIF, ANMIF and ANYMIF since the respective dates of their commencements of each of the Fund's operations, and of ACM V since its fiscal year ended August 31, 1990, and has represented that it does not have any direct financial interest or any material indirect financial interest in any of the Funds. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited the accounts of AMA since the Fund's commencement of operations and has represented that it does not have any direct financial interest or any material indirect financial interest in the Fund. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to attend the Meeting and to have the opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate questions from the stockholders. 16 Independent Accounting Firms' Fees - ---------------------------------- The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by the independent Accounting Firm for each Fund's last two fiscal years for professional services rendered for: (i) the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements included in the Fund's annual reports to stockholders; (ii) assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Fund's financial statements and are not reported under (i), which include advice and education on accounting and auditing issues, quarterly press release reviews and preferred stock maintenance testing (for those Funds that issue preferred stock); (iii) tax compliance, tax advice and tax return preparation; and (iv) aggregate non-audit services provided to the Fund, the Fund's Adviser and entities that control, are controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Service Affiliates"), which include conducting an annual internal control report pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70. No other services were provided to any Fund during this period.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The fees vary because they are presented based on each Fund's last two fiscal years and reflect fees for non-audit services for different periods. 17 Beginning with audit and non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Funds' Audit Committee policies and procedures require the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided to the Fund by the Funds' independent auditors. The Fund's Audit Committee policies and procedures also require pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services provided to the Adviser and Service Affiliates to the extent that these services are directly related to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund. Accordingly, all of the amounts in the table for Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees and Tax Fees for 2004 are for services pre-approved by each Fund's Audit Committee. The amounts of the Fees for Non-Audit Services provided to the Fund, the Adviser and Service Affiliates in the table for each Fund that were subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee for 2004 were ACM I, $102,910 (comprising $85,030 of audit related fees and $17,880 of tax fees); ACM IV, $276,582 (comprising $259,544 of audit related fees and $17,038 of tax fees); ACM V, $301,278 (comprising $272,535 of audit related fees and $28,743 of tax fees); ACM VII, $184,358 (comprising $163,145 of audit related fees and $21,213 of tax fees); ACM VIII, $284,589 (comprising $259,785 of audit related fees and $24,804 of tax fees); AWDGF, $185,893 (comprising $161,890 of audit related fees and $24,003 of tax fees); AWDGF II, $394,025 (comprising $375,125 of audit related fees and $18,900 of tax fees); AMA, $37,914 (comprising $2,514 of audit related fees and $35,400 of tax fees); ACMIF, $182,165 (comprising $163,145 of audit related fees and $19,020 of tax fees); ANMIF, $182,165 (comprising $163,145 of audit related fees and $19,020 of tax fees); and ANYMIF, $182,165 (comprising $163,145 of audit related fees and $19,020 of tax fees). The Audit Committee of the Funds has considered whether the provision of any non-audit services not pre-approved by the Audit Committee provided by the Funds' independent Accounting Firm to the Adviser and Service Affiliates is compatible with maintaining the auditors' independence.
