PROXY STATEMENT

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation by the
Board of Directors of Salomon Brothers 2008 Worldwide Dollar Government Term
Trust Inc. (the "Fund") of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of the Fund (the "Meeting") to be held at Citigroup Center, 153
East 53rd Street, 14th Floor, New York, New York, on Thursday, November 20, 2003
at 4:00 p.m., New York time (and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof) for
the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. This proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first
being mailed to stockholders on or about October 17, 2003. Stockholders who
execute proxies retain the right to revoke them in person at the Meeting or by
written notice received by the Secretary of the Fund at any time before they are
voted. Unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications
thereon and, unless specified to the contrary, will be voted FOR the election of
Directors. The close of business on October 8, 2003 has been fixed as the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at
the Meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each full share and an
appropriate fraction of a vote for each fractional share held. On October 8,
2003, there were 34,510,639 shares of the Fund's common stock outstanding.

In accordance with the Fund's By-Laws, a quorum is normally constituted by
the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Fund's common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting.
In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or in the event that a
quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals are not
received, the Meeting may be adjourned to a date not more than 120 days after
the original record date to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such
adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares
represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. The persons named as proxies
will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote FOR or AGAINST any such
proposal in their discretion. A stockholder vote may be taken on one or more of
the proposals in this proxy statement prior to any such adjournment if
sufficient votes have been received for approval.

Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc ("SBAM"), whose principal business
address is 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, is the Fund's investment
adviser. SBAM is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Fund's Charter, the Fund's Board of Directors is
divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. At the Meeting,
stockholders will be asked to elect one Class II Director to hold office until
the year 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and two Class III Directors to hold
office until the year 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or thereafter when
their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The terms of office
of the remaining Class I and Class II Directors expire at the year 2004 and 2005
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, respectively, or thereafter in each case when
their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The effect of these
staggered terms is to limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire
control of the Fund by delaying the replacement of a majority of the Board of
Directors.

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote at the
Meeting (unless directed not to vote) FOR the election of the nominees named
below. Carol L. Colman, Daniel P. Cronin and William R. Hutchinson are currently
members of the Fund's Board of Directors; Mr. Hutchinson, however, has not been
previously elected as a Director by the Fund's stockholders. Each of the
nominees for election has indicated that he or she will serve if elected, but if
he or she should be unable to serve, the proxy will be voted for any other
person determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their
judgment.

The following table provides certain information concerning the nominees
for election as Class II and Class III Directors of the Fund:

* It is the practice of the Fund that upon attainment of age 80, Fund
Directors are required to change to emeritus status. Directors emeritus are
entitled to serve in emeritus status for a maximum of 10 years, during
which time they are paid 50% of the annual retainer fee and meeting fees
otherwise applicable to Fund Directors together with reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses for each meeting attended.

** Mr. Gerken is an "interested person" as defined in the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), because he is a Managing Director
of CGM, an affiliate of SBAM, the Fund's investment adviser.

The following table provides information concerning the dollar range(1) of
equity securities owned beneficially by each Director and nominee for election
as Director as of December 31, 2002:

"C" = $10,001-$50,000; "D" = $50,001-$100,000; "E" = over $100,000.

No Director or nominee for election as Director who is not an "interested
person" of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act, nor any immediate family member
of such persons, had any interest in SBAM, the Fund's investment adviser, or
any person or entity (other than the Fund) directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with SBAM as of May 1, 2003.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the Fund is
managed in the best interest of its stockholders. The Directors oversee the
Fund's business by, among other things, meeting with the Fund's management and
evaluating the performance of the Fund's service providers including SBAM, the
custodian and the transfer agent. As part of this process, the Directors
consult with the Fund's independent auditors and with their own separate
independent counsel.

The Board of Directors has four regularly scheduled meetings each year and
additional meetings are scheduled as needed. In addition, the Board has an
Audit Committee and a Nominating Committee which meet periodically during the
year and whose responsibilities are described below.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, the Board of Directors held
four regular meetings. Each director (other than Mr. Hutchinson who became a
Director of the Fund on August 1, 2003) attended at least 75% of the aggregate
number of meetings of the Board and the committees for which he or she was
eligible.

The Directors regularly review the Fund's financial statements,
performance and market price as well as the quality of the services being
provided to the Fund. As part of this process, the Directors review the Fund's
fees and expenses to determine if they are reasonable and competitive in light
of the services being received and while also ensuring that the Fund continues
to have access to high quality services in the future. Based on these reviews,
the Directors periodically make suggestions to the Fund's management and
monitor to ensure that responsive action is taken. The Directors also monitor
potential conflicts of interest among the Fund, SBAM and its affiliates and
other funds and clients managed by SBAM to ensure that the Fund is managed in a
manner which is in the best interest of the Fund's stockholders.

At October 8, 2003, Directors and officers of the Fund as a group owned
beneficially less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund's common stock.
To the knowledge of the Fund's management, no person owned of record, or owned
beneficially, more than 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares of common stock at
that date, except that Cede & Co., a nominee for participants in Depository
Trust Company, held of record 32,961,827 shares, equal to approximately 95.51%
of the outstanding shares of the Fund's common stock.

The Fund's executive officers are chosen each year at the meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Fund immediately following the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, to hold office until the meeting of the Board following the next
Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and
qualified. In addition to Mr. Gerken, the current executive officers of the
Fund are:

The Fund's Audit Committee is composed of all of the Directors who are not
"interested persons" of the Fund, SBAM or their affiliates within the meaning
of the 1940 Act, and who are "independent" as defined in the New York Stock
Exchange listing standards. The principal functions of the Audit Committee are:
(i) to recommend to the Board the appointment of the Fund's independent
auditors; (ii) to approve all audit and permitted non-audit services proposed
to be performed by the independent auditors on behalf of the Fund and certain
affiliates; (iii) to review with the independent auditors the scope and
anticipated cost of their audit; and (iv) to receive and consider a report from
the independent auditors concerning their conduct of the audit, including any
comments or recommendations they might want to make in that connection. This
Committee met three times during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003. The Fund
adopted an Audit Committee Charter at a meeting held on May 23, 2000.

The Directors constituting the Fund's Audit Committee also constitute the
Fund's Nominating Committee, which is composed of all of the non-interested
Directors of the Fund. The Nominating Committee met twice during the fiscal
year ended July 31, 2003. The Nominating Committee selects and nominates new
non-interested Directors. The Nominating Committee will accept nominations for
the office of Director made by stockholders in a written request addressed to
the Secretary of the Fund that includes biographical data and sets forth the
qualifications of the proposed nominee. The Fund has a Valuation Committee
composed of the Chairman and at least one non-interested Director. The
Valuation Committee is charged with determining fair value prices for
securities when required. The Fund does not have a Compensation Committee.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

In connection with a meeting of the Audit Committee on September 22, 2003,
the Audit Committee reports that it has: (i) reviewed and discussed the Fund's
audited financial statements with management; (ii) discussed with
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), the independent auditors to the Fund, the
matters (such as the quality of the Fund's accounting principles and internal
controls) required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61;
and (iii) previously received written confirmation from PwC that it is
independent and written disclosures regarding such independence as required by
Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and discussed with PwC the
auditors' independence. Based on the review and discussions referred to in
items (i) through (iii) above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of
Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund's
annual report for the Fund's fiscal year ended July 31, 2003.

ADDITIONAL MATTERS

A representative of PwC will be available by telephone at the Meeting to
answer appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement
if he or she chooses to do so.

Under the federal securities laws, the Fund is required to provide to
stockholders in connection with the Meeting information regarding compensation
paid to the Directors by the Fund, as well as by the various other investment
companies advised by SBAM. The following table provides information concerning
the compensation paid from the Fund to each Director during the fiscal year
ended July 31, 2003 and the total compensation paid to each Director for the
calendar year ended December 31, 2002. Each of the Directors listed below is a
member of the Audit Committee of the Fund and other committees of certain other
investment companies advised by

SBAM, and accordingly, the amounts provided in the table include compensation
for service on such committees. The Fund does not provide any pension or
retirement benefits to Directors. In addition, no remuneration was paid during
the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 by the Fund to Mr. Gerken, who is an
"interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act.

During the Fund's last fiscal year, total compensation paid by the Fund to
a Director Emeritus was $3,900.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 30(h) of
the 1940 Act in combination require the Fund's Directors and officers, persons
who own more than 10% of the Fund's common stock and SBAM and its directors and
officers to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. The Fund believes that for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, all
relevant persons have complied with applicable filing requirements during its
most recently completed fiscal year, except that Evan Merberg inadvertently
failed to file on a timely basis his Initial Report on Form 3 with respect to
the Fund, which has subsequently been filed.

REQUIRED VOTE

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of
shares of the Fund's common stock present in person or represented by proxy at
a meeting at which a quorum is present. For purposes of the election of
Directors, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast,
and do not affect the plurality vote required for Directors.

THE DIRECTORS, INCLUDING THE DIRECTORS WHO ARE NOT "INTERESTED PERSONS,"
UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE NOMINEES FOR
DIRECTOR.

FEES PAID TO INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

AUDIT FEES. The fees for the annual audit of the Fund's financial
statements by PwC for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 were $55,000.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES. There were
no fees billed for financial information systems design and implementation
services rendered by PwC to the Fund, SBAM and entities controlled by or
affiliated with SBAM that provide services to the Fund for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 2003.

ALL OTHER FEES. The aggregate fees billed for all other non-audit
services, including fees for tax-related services, rendered by PwC to the Fund,
SBAM and entities controlled by or affiliated with SBAM that provide services
to the Fund for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 were $3,600. The Fund's
Audit Committee has determined that provision of these non-audit services is
compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC.

PROPOSALS TO BE SUBMITTED BY STOCKHOLDERS

All proposals by stockholders of the Fund which are intended to be
presented at the Fund's next Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2004
must be received by the Fund for inclusion in the Fund's proxy statement and
proxy relating to that meeting no later than June 18, 2004. Any stockholder who
desires to bring a proposal at the Fund's 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
without including such proposal in the Fund's proxy statement must deliver
written notice thereof to the Secretary of the Fund (addressed to Salomon
Brothers 2008 Worldwide Dollar Government Term Trust Inc, 125 Broad Street, New
York, New York 10004) during the period from August 23, 2004 to September 21,
2004. However, if the Fund's 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held
earlier than October 21, 2004 or later than January 19, 2005, such written
notice must be delivered to the Secretary of the Fund during the period from 90
days before the date of the 2004 Annual Meeting to the later of 60 days prior
to the date of the 2004 Annual Meeting or 10 days following the public
announcement of the date of the 2004 Annual Meeting.
