Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Western Asset Funds, Inc. (the “Fund”), today we filed, pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by electronic submission via EDGAR, Post-Effective Amendment No. 40 (the “Amendment”) to the Fund’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A. Pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1), it is intended that the Amendment become effective on April 30, 2010.
The Amendment is being filed primarily to reflect the amendments that have been made to Form N-1A since the Fund’s last amendment to its registration statement.
No fees are required in connection with this filing. Please direct any questions you may have with respect to this filing to me at (617) 951-7114.
Regards,
/s/ Adam Schlichtmann
