                      ----------------------------------

                    FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                       TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2000

                                 INTRODUCTION

  This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the
solicitation by the
Board of Directors (the "Board") of Managed Municipals Portfolio
Inc. (the
"Portfolio") of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders (the
"Meeting") of the Portfolio, to be held at the Portfolio's
principal executive
offices at Seven World Trade Center, 42nd Floor, New York, New York
10048, on
September 13, 2000 at 9:00 A.M. (New York Time), and at any
adjournments
thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of
Annual
Meeting of Shareholders (the "Notice").

  The cost of soliciting proxies and the expenses incurred in
preparing this
proxy statement will be borne by the Portfolio. Proxy solicitations
will be
made mainly by mail. In addition, certain officers, directors and
employees of
the Portfolio; Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("Salomon Smith Barney");
SSB Citi
Fund Management LLC ("SSB Citi" or the "Manager") (successor to
SSBC Fund
Management Inc.), the Portfolio's investment manager, which is an
affiliate of
Salomon Smith Barney; and/or PFPC Global Fund Services ("PFPC"),
the
Portfolio's sub-transfer agent, may solicit proxies in person or by
telephone
or mail. Salomon Smith Barney and SSB Citi are each located at 7
World Trade
Center, New York, New York 10048; PFPC is located at 101 Federal
Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02110. In addition, the Portfolio will
reimburse
brokerage firms or other record holders for their expenses in
forwarding
solicitation materials to beneficial owners of shares of the
Portfolio.

  The Annual Report of the Portfolio, including audited financial
statements
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, has previously been
furnished to all
shareholders of the Portfolio. This proxy statement and form of
proxy are
first being mailed to shareholders on or about August 14, 2000. The
Portfolio
will provide additional copies of the Annual Report to any
shareholder upon
request by calling the Portfolio at 1-800-451-2010.

  All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will
be voted at
the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or
otherwise as
<PAGE>

provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked,
shares
represented by the proxies will be voted "FOR" all the proposals
listed in the
Notice. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for
transacting
business at the Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes" (i.e.
proxies from
brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received
instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to
vote
shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or
nominees do
not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are
present but
which have not been voted. Because both proposals require a
proportion of the
votes cast for their approval, abstentions and broker "non-votes"
may
influence whether a quorum is present but will have no impact on
the requisite
approval of a proposal. A quorum consists of the presence (in
person or by
proxy) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Portfolio
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Proposal 1
requires for
approval the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at
the Meeting
with a quorum present. Proposal 2 requires for approval the
affirmative vote
of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting with a quorum
present. Any
proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof by
submitting
another proxy bearing a later date or by giving written notice to
the
Secretary of the Portfolio at the Portfolio's address indicated
above or by
voting in person at the Meeting.

  The Board knows of no business other than that specifically
mentioned in the
Notice that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If
any other
matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons
named in
the enclosed proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment
to the
extent permissible under applicable law.

  The Board of Directors of the Portfolio has fixed the close of
business on
July 28, 2000 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the
determination of
shareholders of the Portfolio entitled to notice of and to vote at
the Meeting
or any adjournment thereof. Shareholders of the Portfolio as of the
Record
Date will be entitled to one vote on each matter for each share
held and a
fractional vote with respect to fractional shares, with no
cumulative voting
rights. As of the Record Date, the Portfolio had outstanding
32,007,443.546
shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, the only
authorized class
of stock, of which 31,196,153 shares (97.47%) were held but not
beneficially
owned by CEDE & CO., P.O. Box 20, Bowling Green Station, New York,
NY 10004.
As of the Record Date, no other person (including any "group" as
that term is
used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), to
the
knowledge of the Board, owned beneficially more than 5% of the
outstanding
shares of the Portfolio. As of the Record Date, the officers and
Board members
of the Portfolio as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the
outstanding
shares of the Portfolio.

  In the event that a quorum is not present, or if sufficient votes
in favor
of the proposals set forth in the Notice and this Proxy Statement
are not
received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named
as proxies
may propose one or

                                       2
<PAGE>

more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of
proxies
with respect to any such proposals. In determining whether to
adjourn the
Meeting, the following factors may be considered: the nature of the
proposals
that are the subject of the Meeting, the percentage of votes
actually cast,
the percentage of negative votes actually cast, the nature of any
further
solicitation and the information to be provided to shareholders
with respect
to the reasons for the solicitation. Any such adjournment will
require the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the
Meeting. The
persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment
those shares
which they are entitled to vote and which have voted in favor of
such
proposals.

                                PROPOSAL NO. 1

                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

  The Board of Directors of the Portfolio is classified into three
classes.
The directors serving in Class I have terms expiring at the
Meeting; the Class
I directors currently serving on the Board have been nominated by
the Board of
Directors for re-election at the Meeting to serve for a term of
three years
(until the year 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders) or until their
successors
have been duly elected and qualified.

  The Board of Directors of the Portfolio knows of no reason why
any of the
Class I nominees listed below will be unable to serve, and each
nominee has
consented to serve if elected, but in the event of any such
unavailability,
the proxies received will be voted for such substitute nominees as
the Board
of Directors may recommend.

  Certain information concerning the nominees is set forth below.
For any
nominee or director indicated as owning shares of the Portfolio,
such
ownership constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the
Record
Date. All of the nominees are currently directors of the Portfolio.
Except as
indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other
offices in the
same company for the last five years.

            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 require the Portfolio's officers and directors, and
persons who
beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the
Portfolio's equity securities, and certain entities to file reports
of
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York
Stock
Exchange, Inc. and the Portfolio. Based solely upon its review of
the copies
of such forms received by it, the Portfolio believes that, during
fiscal year
2000, all filing requirements applicable to such persons were
complied with.

  The Portfolio has no compensation or nominating committee of the
Board of
Directors, or any committee performing similar functions. The
Portfolio has an
audit committee composed of all the directors who are not
"interested persons"
of the Portfolio, as defined under the 1940 Act (the "independent
directors"),
which is charged with recommending a firm of independent auditors
to the
Portfolio and reviewing accounting matters with the auditors.

  Five meetings of the Board of Directors of the Portfolio were
held during
the last fiscal year, four of which were regular meetings. In the
last fiscal
year, no director attended less than 75% of these meetings of the
Board that
were held.

  Only the independent directors receive remuneration from the
Portfolio for
acting as a director. Aggregate fees and expenses (including
reimbursement for
travel and out-of-pocket expenses) of $2,953.24 were paid to such
directors by
the Portfolio during the fiscal year ended on May 31, 2000. Fees
for the
independent directors are set at $5,000 per annum and, in addition,
these
directors receive $500 for each Board meeting attended in person,
$100 for
each telephonic board meeting, plus travel and out-of-pocket
expenses incurred
in connection with Board meetings. The out-of-pocket expenses are
borne
equally by each individual fund in the group of funds served by the
same Board
members. None of the officers of the Portfolio received any
compensation from
the Portfolio for such period. Officers and interested directors of
the
Portfolio are compensated by the Manager or by Salomon Smith
Barney.

  The following table shows the compensation paid by the Portfolio
to each
person who was a director during the Portfolio's last fiscal year.

                                PROPOSAL NO. 2

               RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

  KPMG LLP ("KPMG") has been selected as the independent auditors
to audit the
accounts of the Portfolio for and during the fiscal year ending May
31, 2001
by a majority of the independent directors, which is subject to
ratification
by the shareholders at the Meeting. The entire Board concurred in
the
selection of KPMG. KPMG also serves as the independent auditors for
the
Manager, other investment companies associated with Salomon Smith
Barney and
for Citigroup, Inc. ("Citigroup"), the ultimate parent company of
Salomon
Smith Barney and the Manager. KPMG has no direct or material
indirect
financial interest in the Portfolio, the Manager, Citigroup or any
other
investment company sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney or its
affiliates.

                                       6

  If the Portfolio receives a written request from any shareholder
at least
five days prior to the Meeting stating that the shareholder will be
present in
person at the Meeting and desires to ask questions of the auditors
concerning
the Portfolio's financial statements, the Portfolio will arrange to
have a
representative of KPMG present at the Meeting who will respond to
appropriate
questions and have an opportunity to make a statement.

  The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at the Meeting
is required
to ratify the selection of KPMG. The Board of Directors, including
all of the
independent directors, recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR"
the
ratification of the selection of independent auditors.

                                 OTHER MATTERS

  The Manager knows of no other matters which are to be brought
before the
Meeting. However, if any other matters not now known or determined
properly
come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named
in the
enclosed form of proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their
judgment on
such matters.

  All proxies received will be voted in favor of all the proposals,
unless
otherwise directed therein.

                      SUBMISSION OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

  Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2001 Annual
Meeting of
the shareholders of the Portfolio must be received by April 17,
2001 to be
included in the proxy statement and the form of proxy relating to
that
meeting, as the Portfolio expects that the 2001 Annual Meeting will
be held in
September of 2001. The submission by a shareholder of a proposal
for inclusion
in the proxy statement does not guarantee that it will be included.
Shareholder proposals are subject to certain regulations under the
federal
securities laws.

  The persons named as proxies for the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders for 2001
will have discretionary authority to vote on any matter presented
by a
shareholder for action at that meeting unless the Portfolio
receives notice of
the matter by June 30, 2001, in which case these persons will not
have
discretionary voting authority except as provided in the Securities
and
Exchange Commission's rules governing shareholder proposals.

  It is important that proxies be returned promptly. Shareholders
who do not
expect to attend the meeting are therefore urged to complete and
sign, date
and return the proxy card as soon as possible in the enclosed
postage-paid
