(‘‘Company’’) has filed an application

with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant

to Section 12(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) and Rule

12d2–2(d) promulgated thereunder, to

The reasons cited in the application

The Company has complied with Rule

18 of the Amex by filing with such

Exchange a certified copy of preambles

and resolutions adopted by the

Company’s Board of Directors

authorizing the withdrawal of its

Securities from listing on the Amex and

by setting forth in detail to such

Exchange the reasons for such proposed

withdrawal, and the facts in support

thereof.

In making the decision to withdraw

its Securities from listing on the Amex,

the Company considered the following:

The Company has been advised by its

underwriters and financial advisers to

list its Shares and Debentures on the

New York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’);

that such listing will help facilitate a

distribution in an offering; that listing

on the NYSE is beneficial to the

Company in connection with a

distribution of the Company’s Securities

overseas and on foreign exchanges; that

such listing would help facilitate a

distribution of the Company’s Securities

to institutional investors; and the

underwriters have required that such

listing be accomplished prior to any

proposed public offering by the

Company. The Company’s Securities

began trading on the NYSE at the

opening of business on September 18,

1997.

By letter dated September 17, 1997,

the Amex informed the Company that

the Exchange would not object to the

Company’s filing of an application to

withdraw its Securities from listing on

the Amex.

Any interested person may, on or

before October 23, 1997, submit by letter

$0.01 Par Value) File No. 1–9719

October 1, 1997.

Scudder Spain and Portugal Fund,

Inc. (‘‘Company’’) has filed an

application with Securities and

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’),

pursuant to Section 12(d) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’)

and Rule 12d2–2(d) promulgated

thereunder, to withdraw the above

specified security (‘‘Security’’) from

listing and registration on the American

Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Amex’’ or

‘‘Exchange’’).

The reasons cited in the application

for withdrawing the Security from

listing and registration include the

following:

Pursuant to the rules of the Amex

regarding de-listing, and in particular

Rule 18 of the Amex, the Company has

transmitted to the Amex a certified copy

of resolutions adopted by its Board of

Directors (‘‘Board’’) authorizing the

withdrawal of the Security from listing

on the Amex.

The Board and management of the

Company have determined that listing

the Security on the New York Stock

Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’) may provide

potential benefits to the Company and

the Company’s stockholders, including

increased market visibility and

increased exposure of the Company

among the financial community, and a

potential for increased trading volume

for the Security, which, if realized,

could provide increased liquidity and a

decrease in the discount in the market

price of the Security as compared to the

Company’s net asset value per share of

Security. The Company’s Security began

trading on the NYSE on July 30, 1997.

By letter dated July 18, 1997, the

Amex informed the Company that the

Exchange would not object to the

Company’s filing of the application to

be removed from listing and registration

on the Exchange.
