     Re:    Lehman Brothers Income Funds. - Post-Effective Amendment No. 68
                 --Neuberger Berman Cash Reserves, Investor Class
                   (File Nos. 002-85229 and 811-03802)
            Form Type: 485APOS; Accession Number: 0000898432-08-000915
            Application for Withdrawal
            ---------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Hallock:

     The Lehman  Brothers  Income  Funds  (the  "Registrant")  hereby  requests,
pursuant  to Rule  477  under  the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended,  the
withdrawal of Post-Effective  Amendment No. 68 (the "Post-Effective  Amendment")
to the  Registrant's  Registration  Statement  on Form N-1A,  which was filed as
EDGAR  submission  type 485APOS with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission on
September  8, 2008  (Accession  No.  0000898432-08-000915).  The  Post-Effective
Amendment was filed to  incorporate  proposed  changes to Neuberger  Berman Cash
Reserves'  investment  policy,  whereby the Fund would change to a hub-and-spoke
structure  and  would  invest  all  of  the  its  net  investable  assets  in  a
corresponding  master  fund.  Subsequent  to the  filing  of the  Post-Effective
Amendment,  the Registrant  has  determined  that it would be in the Fund's best
interest not to enter into a hub-and-spoke  structure at this time. Accordingly,
the Registrant  requests the  withdrawal of the  Post-Effective  Amendment.  The
Registrant confirms that no securities were sold in connection with the proposed
offering pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendment.

     If you have any questions concerning the foregoing,  please do not hesitate
to contact Fatima Sulaiman of K&L Gates LLP, counsel to the Registrant, at (202)
778-9223.


                                   Sincerely,

                                   LEHMAN BROTHERS INCOME FUNDS
