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 a 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 Friday, May 24, 1996 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 12, 1996.
The Board of Directors of each Fund has fixed the close of business on March
29, 1996 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 29, 1996 consisted,
respectively, of 57,136,172 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, 21,356,368 shares of common stock
and 950 shares of Remarketed Preferred Shares, Series A (the "ACM V Preferred
Stock") of ACM V and 10,554,317 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.
Accordingly, unless instructions to the contrary are marked, proxies for a
Fund will be voted for the
1
election of three Directors of ACM I, II, III, IV, V and VII and for the
ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Funds' independent auditors for each
of their respective fiscal years ending in 1996. 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 identical matters. Stockholders of each Fund will vote separately on
each proposal set fourth 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 24, 1996, 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.
Each Fund has engaged Shareholder Communications Corporation, 17 State
Street, New York, New York 10004, to assist the Funds in soliciting proxies
for the Meeting. Shareholder Communications Corporation will receive a fee of
$3,000 from each Fund for its services, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket
expenses.
PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the Meeting, three Directors of each Fund will be elected to serve for
terms of three years, and until their successors are elected and qualified.
With respect to each Fund, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes
cast at the Meeting is required to elect a Director. It is the intention of
the persons named in the enclosed proxy to nominate and vote in favor of the
election of the persons in Class Two as described below.
Pursuant to the Funds' respective Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, the
Board of Directors of each Fund has been divided into three classes. With
respect to all of the Funds, the term of office of the members of Class Two
will expire as of the Meeting, the term of office of the members of Class
Three will expire as of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1997
and the term of office of the members of Class One will expire as of the
annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1998. 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, David H. Dievler, James
M. Hester and James D. Hodgson are the members constituting Class Two; Ruth
Block, John D. Carifa and Robert C. White are the members constituting Class
Three; and James R. Greene and Clifford L. Michel are the members constituting
Class One.
2
As a result, 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,
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 the Meeting, the three Directors in Class Two of each Fund are standing
for re-election. Each nominee has consented to serve as a Director. The Boards
of Directors know 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 Boards of Directors may recommend.
Certain information concerning each Fund's Directors is set forth below.
WITH RESPECT TO EACH FUND, ONLY CLASS TWO DIRECTORS ARE STANDING FOR ELECTION
AS DIRECTORS.

During their respective fiscal years ended in 1995, the Boards of Directors
of ACM I, II, III and VII each met five times and the Boards of Directors of
ACM IV and V each 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 ACM I, II, III, IV, V and VII 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 Committees do 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 1995, the
aggregate compensation paid to each of the Directors during calendar year 1995
by all of the registered investment companies to which the Adviser provides
investment advisory services, including the Funds (collectively, the "Alliance
Fund Complex") and the total number of funds in the Alliance Fund Complex with
respect to which each of the Directors serves as a director or trustee, are set
forth below. Neither the Funds nor any other fund in the Alliance Fund Complex
provides compensation in the form of pension or retirement benefits to any of
its directors or trustees.

As of March 29, 1996, 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 the Funds' Directors engaged in a
purchase or sale of the securities of Alliance Capital Management L.P. or any
of its parents or subsidiaries.
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 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, 1996
(ACM I, II, III), July 31, 1996 (ACM IV), August 31, 1996 (ACM V) and October
31, 1996 (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
Act, at meetings held on December 13, 1995 for ACM I, II and III, June 14,
1995 for ACM IV and V and September 13, 1995 for ACM VII. With respect to each
Fund, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting is
required to ratify such selection. 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.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND
THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE FUNDS
