Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc.:

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
of the Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. (Fund) for the year ended
May 31, 2004, we considered its internal control, including control
activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on
the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of
Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control.

The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining internal control.  In fulfilling this responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of controls.  Generally,
controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's
objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes
that are fairly presented in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Those controls include the
safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in internal control, error or
fraud may occur and not be detected.  Also, projection of
any evaluation of internal control to future periods is subject
to the risk that it may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation
may deteriorate.

Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily
disclose all matters in internal control that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A material weakness
is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of
the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively
low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud
in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial
statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a
timely period by employees in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions.  However, we noted no matters involving
internal control and its operation, including controls for
safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of May 31, 2004.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Directors of the Fund and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to
be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
