| |
| 1 | . | | I have reviewed this report on Form N-CSR of The Salomon Brothers Fund Inc.; |
| |
| 2 | . | | Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact |
| | | or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the |
| | | circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the |
| | | period covered by this report; |
| |
| 3 | . | | Based on my knowledge, the financial information included in this report, and the financial |
| | | statements on which the financial information is based, fairly present in all material respects |
| | | the financial condition, results of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows (if the |
| | | financial statements are required to include a statement of cash flows) of the registrant as of, |
| | | and for, the periods presented in this report; |
| |
| 4 | . | | The registrant’s other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and |
| | | maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the |
| | | Investment Company Act of 1940) and internal control over financial reporting (as |
| | | defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) for the |
| | | registrant and have: |
| |
| | | a) | | Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and |
| | | | | procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information |
| | | | | relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by |
| | | | | others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being |
| | | | | prepared; |
| |
| | | b) | | Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over |
| | | | | financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance |
| | | | | regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements |
| | | | | for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; |
| | | | | |
| | | c) | | Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and |
| | | | | presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls |
| | | | | and procedures, as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report based on |
| | | | | such evaluation; and |
| |
| | | d) | | Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial |
| | | | | reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal half-year (the registrant’s |
| | | | | second fiscal half-year in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is |
| | | | | reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial |
| | | | | reporting; and |
| |
| 5 | . | | The registrant’s other certifying officers and I have disclosed to the registrant’s auditors and |
| | | the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the |
| | | equivalent functions): |
| |
| | | a) | | All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal |
| | | | | control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the |
| | | | | registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; and |
| |
| | | b) | | Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who |
| | | | | have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting. |
