JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

INTRODUCTION
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies on behalf of the respective Boards of Directors of ACM Government
Income Fund, Inc. ("ACM I"), ACM Government Securities Fund, Inc. ("ACM II"),
ACM Government Spectrum Fund, Inc. ("ACM III"), ACM Government Opportunity
Fund, Inc. ("ACM IV"), ACM Managed Income Fund, Inc. ("ACM V") and ACM
Municipal Securities Income Fund, Inc. ("ACM VII"), each of which is a Maryland
corporation (individually, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), to be voted
at the 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 Thursday, May 25, 1995 at 11:00 a.m. 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 April 18, 1995.
The Board of Directors of each Fund has fixed the close of business on March
31, 1995 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. The
outstanding voting shares of the Funds as of March 31, 1995 consisted,
respectively, of 56,778,149 shares of common stock of ACM I, 77,850,706 shares
of common stock of ACM II, 37,028,027 shares of common stock of ACM III,
13,071,872 shares of common stock of ACM IV, 20,814,905 shares of common stock
and 950 shares of Remarketed Preferred Shares, Series A (the "ACM V Preferred
Stock") of ACM V and 10,522,367 shares of common stock and 1,800 shares of
Series A, Series B and Series C Municipal Income Preferred Shares (the "ACM VII
Preferred Stock") of ACM VII, each share being entitled to one vote.
With respect to ACM V and ACM VII, at the Meeting the holders of ACM V
Preferred Stock and the holders of ACM VII Preferred Stock will have equal
voting rights with the holders of ACM V common stock and the holders of ACM VII
common stock, respectively (i.e., one vote per share), and will vote together
with the holders of common stock of each Fund as a single class on all
proposals to be brought before the Meeting, including the election of directors
(see "Proposal One -- Election of Directors," below). All properly executed
proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in
accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise provided therein.
1
Accordingly, unless instructions to the contrary are marked, proxies for the
Funds will be voted for the election of two Directors of each Fund and for the
ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Funds' independent auditors for each
of their respective fiscal years ending in 1995. 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 another proxy of a later date or by
personally voting at the Meeting.
The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the respective stockholders of
the Funds because the stockholders of all the Funds are to consider and vote on
similar matters. In the event that any stockholder of a Fund present at the
Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for an adjournment
of the Meeting with respect to that Fund to a time immediately after the
Meeting, so that the Meeting for that Fund may be held separately, the persons
named as proxies will vote in favor of adjournment.
Stockholders of each Fund will vote separately on each proposal set forth
herein and on any other matters that may arise for that Fund, and an
unfavorable vote on a proposal by the stockholders of one Fund will not affect
the implementation of the proposal by any other Fund if such proposal is
approved by the stockholders of the other Fund.
A quorum for each Fund for the Meeting will consist of a majority of the
shares outstanding and entitled to vote. In the event that a quorum is not
represented at the Meeting for a Fund or, even if a quorum is so represented,
in the event that sufficient votes in favor of any proposal set forth in the
Notice of Meeting with respect to a Fund are not received by May 25, 1995, 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, and further solicitation of proxies with respect to such proposal
may be made. Shares represented by proxies indicating a vote against any
proposal will be voted against adjournment.
PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Pursuant to the Funds' respective Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, the
Board of Directors of each Fund has been divided into three classes. The term
of office of the first class will expire as of the Meeting (Class One), the
term of office of the second class will expire as of the annual meeting of
stockholders to be held in 1996 (Class Two), and the term of office of the
third class will expire as of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in
1997 (Class Three). Upon expiration of the term of office of each class as set
forth above, those persons then elected as Directors in that class will serve
until the third annual meeting of stockholders following their election. For
each Fund, James R. Greene and Clifford L. Michel are the members constituting
Class One; David H. Dievler, James M. Hester and James D. Hodgson are the
members constituting Class Two; and Ruth Block, John D. Carifa and Robert C.
White are the members constituting Class Three.
As a result of this system, only those Directors of each Fund in a single
class may be changed in any one year, and it would require two years to change
a majority of the Board of Directors of a Fund (although, under Maryland law,
procedures are available for the removal of Directors even if they are not then
standing for re-election and, under Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations,
2
procedures are available for including appropriate stockholder proposals in
management's annual proxy statement). This system of electing Directors, which
may be regarded as an "anti-takeover" provision, may make it more difficult for
each Fund's stockholders to change the majority of Directors of that Fund and,
thus, have the effect of maintaining the continuity of management.
At this Meeting, the stockholders of each Fund are being requested to elect
Class One Directors for a three-year term expiring on the date of the annual
meeting of stockholders to be held in 1998. At the Meeting, the two Directors
in Class One of each Fund, Messrs. Greene and Michel, are standing for re-
election.
Each nominee has consented to serve as a Director. The Board of Directors
knows of no reason why any of these nominees will be unable to serve, but in
the event of such inability, the proxies received will be voted for such
substitute nominees as the Board of Directors may recommend. With respect to
each Fund, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast is required to
elect a Director.
Certain information concerning each Fund's Directors is set forth below. WITH
RESPECT TO EACH FUND, ONLY CLASS ONE DIRECTORS ARE STANDING FOR ELECTION AS
DIRECTORS.

During their respective fiscal years ended in 1994, the Boards of Directors
of ACM I, II, III and IV each met four times, the Board of Directors of ACM VII
met five times and the Board of Directors of ACM V met six times. The Audit
Committee of each Fund meets during the fiscal year for the purposes described
below in Proposal Two. The Audit Committees of each Fund each met twice during
their respective fiscal years. The Nominating Committee of each Fund, which did
not meet during such fiscal year, was constituted for the purpose of selecting
and nominating persons to fill any vacancies on the Board of Directors. The
Nominating Committee of each Fund does not currently consider candidates
proposed by stockholders for election as Directors.
A Fund does not pay any fees to, or reimburse expenses of, its Directors who
are considered "interested persons" of the Fund. The aggregate compensation
paid by each Fund to its Directors during its fiscal year ended in 1994 and the
aggregate compensation paid to each of the Directors during calendar year 1994
by all of the registered investment companies to which the Adviser provides
investment advisory services, including the Funds (collectively, the "Alliance
Fund Complex"), are set forth below. Each of the Directors is a director or
trustee of one or more other registered investment companies in the Alliance
Fund Complex.

As of March 31, 1995, the Directors and officers of each Fund as a group
owned less than 1% of the shares of such Fund. During each Fund's most recently
completed fiscal year, none of a Fund's Directors engaged in a purchase or sale
of the securities of Alliance Capital Management L.P. or any of its parents or
subsidiaries in an amount exceeding 1% of the relevant class of outstanding
securities.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EACH FUND RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF EACH
FUND VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE FOREGOING NOMINEES TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS OF
THE FUND.
PROPOSAL TWO
RATIFICATION OR REJECTION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE FUNDS
The Board of Directors of each Fund recommends that the stockholders of the
Fund ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, to audit
the accounts of each such Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995
(ACM I, II, III), July 31, 1995 (ACM IV), August 31, 1995 (ACM V) and October
31, 1995 (ACM VII). Their selection was 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, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), at meetings held on
December 7, 1994 for ACM I, II and III, June 15, 1994 for ACM IV and V and
September 14, 1994 for ACM VII. Ernst & Young LLP has audited the accounts of
ACM I, II, III, IV and VII since the commencement of each Fund's operations,
and of ACM V since its fiscal year ending August 31, 1990, and does not have
any direct financial interest or any material indirect financial interest in
any of the Funds.
A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to attend the Meeting and
to have the opportunity to make a statement and respond to appropriate
questions from the stockholders. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
of each Fund meets twice during each full fiscal year with representatives of
the independent auditors to discuss the scope of their engagement and review
the financial statements of such Fund and the results of their examination
thereof.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EACH FUND RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS OF EACH
FUND VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE FUND.

ADMINISTRATOR OF THE FUNDS

DEFINITION OF "VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES" OF A
FUND
The "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" of a Fund, as
defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the Act, means the vote (i) of 67% or more of
the voting securities of the Fund present or represented at any meeting, if the
holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are
present or represented by proxy, or (ii) of more than 50% of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund, whichever is less. The only voting securities of
a Fund are its outstanding shares of common and, in the case of ACM V and ACM
VII, preferred stock.
SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS FOR THE NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the next annual meeting
of stockholders of each Fund must be received by the Fund by December 20, 1995
for inclusion in such Fund's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that
meeting. The submission by a stockholder of a proposal for inclusion in the
proxy statement does not guarantee that it will be included. Stockholder
proposals are subject to certain regulations under federal securities laws.
OTHER MATTERS
Management of each Fund does not know of any matters to be presented at the
Meeting other than those mentioned in this Proxy Statement. If any other
matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by proxies
will be voted with respect thereto in accordance with the best judgment of the
person or persons voting the proxies.
REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS
A Fund will furnish each person to whom the proxy statement is delivered with
