REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee of
  Government Trust G-1:

We have audited the accompanying Distribution Report of Government Trust
G-1 as of December 31, 1997 and for the year then ended.  The Distribution
Report is the responsibility of the Trustee.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Distribution Report based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Distribution Report is free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Distribution Report.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
Distribution Report presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the Distribution Report referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, amounts distributed to Zero Coupon Certificate
holders, the aggregate amount of Zero Coupon Certificates outstanding,
the unpaid principal amount of the Promissory Note and funds in excess
of amounts distributed of Government Trust G-1 as of December 31, 1997
and for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTE B - G-1 ZERO COUPON CERTIFICATES

The Trust's Zero Coupon Certificates (the "Zero Coupon Certificates")
represent an undivided fractional interest in the Trust.  Holders of the Zero
Coupon Certificates are entitled to semi-annual distributions on May 15 and
November 15.  The Trust is required to distribute to the Zero Coupon
Certificate holders from funds held by the Trust, amounts equal to 90% of
the principal and interest required to be paid by the Borrower on its
Promissory Note (see Note C) and payments from the Securities Trust, less
amounts paid to the Trustee for periodic fees and expenses.  The government
securities in the Securities Trust held for the benefit of the Trust consist
of U.S. Treasury Securities and are projected to provide the Trust, on or
before each Zero Coupon Certificate Payment Date, with funds equal to at
least 10% of the principal and interest due on the Borrower's Promissory
Note on that Zero Coupon Certificate Payment Date.

NOTE C - PROMISSORY NOTE

Interest at 9.0572% is payable by the Borrower on its Promissory Note semi-
annually on each Note Payment Date, which is the tenth business day before
a Zero Coupon Certificate Payment Date (see Note B).  Principal payments on
the Promissory Note commence on November 11, 1998 and are payable on the
same basis as interest payments.

The United States of America, acting through the Defense Security Assistance
Agency of the Department of Defense, has guaranteed the punctual payment of
90% of the principal and interest due on the Promissory Note.

The Borrower is required to remit to the Trust 100% of the principal and
interest due on its Promissory Note.  However, to the extent that the total
of (a) payments from the Borrower on its Promissory Note, (b) any payments
received by the Trust with respect to the Defense Security Assistance
Agency's Guaranty and (c) payments received by the Trust from the Securities
Trust, less (d) amounts paid by the Trust to the Trustee for periodic fees
and expenses, exceed the required Zero Coupon Certificate Payment, the
excess is to be returned to the Borrower.
