RE: The Vantagepoint Funds  File Nos. 333-60789 and 811-08941

To Whom It May Concern:

On behalf of The Vantagepoint Funds (the Funds), we are requesting, pursuant to
Rule 477(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, that the submission made of behalf of
the Funds as Form Type 485BPOS (Accession # 0000950133-02-00076) on February 28,
2002 be withdrawn as it was inadvertently filed under the wrong submission type.
We immediately refiled the registration statement as a Form Type 485APOS
(Accession # 950133-02-000758) upon discovery of this mistake.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at 202-962-4621 if you have any questions

Sincerely,
