[49-CTRS]

                    THE U.S. TREASURY MONEY FUND OF AMERICA
                 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, California

                           --------------------------

                                PROXY STATEMENT
                            MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                               NOVEMBER 19, 1999
                             ---------------------

    The enclosed Proxy is solicited by the Board of Trustees of the Fund in
connection with the Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Friday, November 19,
1999. Every Proxy returned in time to be voted at the meeting will be voted and,
if you specify how to vote on any proposal, the Proxy will be voted accordingly.
Unless you specify otherwise, the Proxy will be voted in favor of the proposal.
You can revoke a Proxy prior to its exercise, either by filing with the Fund a
written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed Proxy bearing a
later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. This Proxy was
first mailed to shareholders on or about September 24, 1999.

    At the close of business on August 25, 1999, the record date fixed by the
Board of Trustees for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of
and to vote at the meeting, there were outstanding 460,314,042 shares of
beneficial interest, the only authorized class of securities of the Fund (the
"Shares"). Each Share is entitled to one vote. There is no provision for
cumulative voting. No person owned of record or was known by the Fund to own
beneficially 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

    With respect to the election of Trustees (Item 1), the 10 nominees receiving
the highest number of votes will be elected. The vote required to approve Item 2
is the affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by
proxy.

    If sufficient votes are not received by the meeting date, a person named as
proxy may propose one or more adjournments of the meeting for up to 120 days in
the aggregate to permit further solicitation of Proxies. The persons named as
proxies may vote all Proxies in favor of such adjournment. Signed but unmarked
Proxies will be voted for the Trustees nominated below and in favor of the
proposal. Shareholders who return Proxies marked as abstaining from voting on
one or more proposals are treated as being present at the meeting for purposes
of obtaining the quorum necessary to hold the meeting, but are not counted as
part of the vote necessary to approve the proposal(s). If brokers holding Shares

                                       1

for their customers in Street Name have not received instructions and are not
authorized to vote without instruction, those Shares also will be treated as
abstentions.

1.  ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

    Ten Trustees are to be elected at the meeting, each to hold office until
their resignation or removal and until a successor is elected and qualified.
Because meetings of shareholders will not be held each year, the Trustees' terms
will be indefinite in length. All of the nominees for Trustee except Richard G.
Capen, Jr., Don R. Conlan, Diane C. Creel, Leonard R. Fuller, and Frank M.
Sanchez were elected by the shareholders at the meeting held on June 15, 1992.
Diane C. Creel and Leonard R. Fuller were elected by the Trustees on September
22, 1994; Don R. Conlan was elected by the Trustees on December 16, 1996.
Richard G. Capen, Jr. and Frank M. Sanchez have been nominated by the Trustees.
Herbert Hoover III, a Trustee since 1991, has reached the Fund's retirement age
and is not seeking re-election.

    Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as Trustee if elected. If, due to
presently unforeseen circumstances, any nominee is not available for election,
the persons named as proxies will vote the signed but unmarked Proxies and those
marked for the nominated Trustees for such other nominee as the present Trustees
may recommend. The table below sets forth certain information regarding the
nominees.

(2)   Includes funds managed by Capital Research and Management Company and
    affiliates.

(3)   Richard G. Capen, Jr. and Frank M. Sanchez have been nominated as Trustees

    changed during this period.

2.  RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
    PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT

    Shareholders are requested to ratify the selection by the Board of Trustees
(including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the
Fund as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as
independent accountant for the Fund for the fiscal year 2000. In addition to the
normal audit services, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provides services in
connection with the preparation and review of federal and state tax returns for
the Fund. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served as the Fund's independent
accountant since inception and has advised the Fund that it has no material
direct or indirect financial interest in the Fund or its affiliates. The Fund's
Audit Committee recommended that PricewaterhouseCoopers

                                       7

LLP be selected as the Fund's independent accountant for the current fiscal
year. The employment of the accountant is conditioned upon the right of the Fund
to terminate such employment at any time without any penalty. No representative
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is expected to attend the Meeting of Shareholders.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF
ITS SELECTION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP.

                                 OTHER MATTERS

    Neither the persons named in the enclosed Proxy nor the Board of Trustees
are aware of any matters that will be presented for action at the meeting other
than the matters set forth herein. If any other matters requiring a vote of
shareholders arise, the Proxies will confer upon the person or persons entitled
to vote the Shares they represent a discretionary authority to vote the Shares
in respect to any such other matters in accordance with their best judgment in
the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

                             SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

    Any shareholder proposals for inclusion in Proxy solicitation material for a
shareholders meeting should be submitted to the Secretary of the Fund, at the
Fund's principal executive offices, 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, CA
90071. Any such proposals must comply with the requirements of rule 14a-8 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    Under the laws of Massachusetts, where the Fund is organized, the Fund is
not required to hold regular meetings of shareholders. Under the 1940 Act, a
vote of shareholders is required from time to time for particular matters but
not necessarily on an annual basis. As a result, it is not anticipated that the
Fund will hold shareholders meetings on a regular basis, and any shareholder
proposal received may not be considered until such a meeting is held.
