   Seligman Quality Municipal Fund and Seligman Select Municipal Fund Approve
                  Changes in Dividends Effective December 2006

NEW YORK, November 16, 2006 - The Board of Directors of Seligman Quality
Municipal Fund, Inc. (NYSE: SQF) today approved a change in the monthly dividend
payment on the Fund's common stock. Additionally, the Board of Directors of
Seligman Select Municipal Fund, Inc. (NYSE: SEL) approved a change in the
monthly dividend payment on that Fund's common stock. Both changes are effective
December 2006.

The new dividend for Seligman Quality Municipal Fund will be $0.036 per share,
which represents a 12.2% decrease in the amount of the monthly dividend
previously paid to stockholders. The new dividend for Seligman Select Municipal
Fund will be $0.038 per share, which represents a 5% decrease in the amount of
the monthly dividend payment previously paid to stockholders.

Brian T. Zino, President of Seligman Quality Municipal Fund and Seligman Select
Municipal Fund, said that the dividend changes were required as a result of a
narrowing of the spread between each Fund's net earnings on its investment
portfolio and the dividend rates paid on its preferred shares, which reflect
short-term yields. Mr. Zino pointed out that the Funds continue to be impacted
by redemptions of higher-yielding bonds. "Portfolio income is reduced when the
proceeds of called bonds are reinvested at lower prevailing yields," he added.
Mr. Zino stated that Seligman Quality Municipal Fund's earnings were also
reduced by the costs associated with the Fund's recent proxy contest.
