APPENDIX A

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND CONTINGENT LIQUIDATION

         This Agreement and Plan of Merger and Contingent Liquidation
(the Agreement) is made as of August 2, 2001, in San Francisco,
California, by and between RCM Strategic Global Government Fund,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (RCS Fund), and Dresdner RCM Global
Strategic Income Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (DSF Fund).

PLAN OF MERGER AND CONTINGENT LIQUIDATION

(a)	Prior to the Valuation Time (as defined in Section 4 of this
Agreement), DSF Fund shall conduct a tender offer for 50% of the
shares of common stock of DSF Fund issued and outstanding as of the
date of this Agreement for a purchase price per share equal to
99-1/2% of DSF Funds per share net asset value at the expiration of
such tender offer (the Tender Offer).

(b)  In accordance with provisions of the Maryland General Corporation
Law (the MGCL) and the charters of each of DSF Fund and RCS Fund,
respectively, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement, and subject to the approval of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of DSF Fund and
of RCS Fund, respectively, at the meetings referred to in Section 7
of this Agreement, DSF Fund shall on the Merger Date (as defined in
Section 5 of this Agreement) be merged with and into RCS Fund (the
Merger).  Pursuant to provisions of the MGCL, upon consummation
of the Merger, DSF Fund shall cease to exist as a separate corporation
and RCS Fund shall survive and continue to exist as a corporation
duly incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland.  The
charter and Bylaws, as amended, of RCS Fund, as in effect immediately
prior to the Merger Date, shall be the charter and Bylaws of RCS Fund,
as the surviving corporation, after the Merger, until thereafter
changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

(c)  On the Merger Date, upon the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement, all shares of common stock of DSF Fund issued and
outstanding as of such date shall, by virtue of the Merger and without
any action on the part of the holders thereof (each, a DSF
Stockholder, and collectively, the DSF Stockholders), be converted
into a number of full and fractional shares of common stock of RCS
Fund (the Merger Shares) determined by dividing the aggregate net
asset value of such DSF Fund shares by the net asset value of one
share of common stock of RCS Fund, such values being determined at
the Valuation Time as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement.

(d)  At and after the Merger Date, the Merger will have the effects
set forth in relevant provisions of the MGCL. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Merger
Date all the assets, rights, privileges and powers of DSF Fund shall
be vested in RCS Fund, and RCS Fund shall assume all of the debts,
liabilities and duties of DSF Fund.

(e)  On or prior to the Merger Date, RCS Fund and DSF Fund shall
file for record with the State Department of Assessments and
Taxation of Maryland Articles of Merger (the Articles of Merger),
the contents of which shall conform in all material respects to
the requirements of the MGCL.

(f) It is intended that the Merger described in this Agreement
shall be a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Plan of Merger
and Contingent Liquidation (the Plan of Merger), if an event
described in Section 13(b) or Section 13(c) of this Agreement occurs,
then (i) this Agreement shall terminate, (ii) the Merger and the
Tender Offer shall be abandoned, and (iii) the assets of DSF Fund
shall be liquidated in an orderly fashion and DSF Fund shall be
dissolved pursuant to the MGCL.

RCS Fund and DSF Fund agree as follows:

1.  Representations and warranties of RCS Fund.  RCS Fund
represents and warrants to and agrees with DSF Fund that:
         (a)  RCS Fund is a corporation duly incorporated and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, and has

prosecuted to their conclusion, result in liability on the part of
RCS Fund, other than as have been disclosed in the Registration

         (e)  RCS Fund has no known liabilities of a material
nature, contingent or otherwise, other than those shown on its

investment company since such date.
         (f)  No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or

Agreement, except such as have been or will be obtained under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 1934 Act), the 1940 Act or
state securities or blue sky laws (which term as used herein shall
include the laws of the District of Columbia and of Puerto Rico).
         (g)  The registration statement and any amendments thereto
(including any post-effective amendments) filed with the Securities

relating to the Merger Shares (the Registration Statement), the
section captioned Additional Proposals to be Voted on by DSF Fund
Stockholders Only included therein (the DSF Fund Additional

Fund Additional Proposals and, together with the DSF Fund Additional
Proposals, the Additional Proposals), on the effective date of the
Registration Statement (i) will comply in all material respects with
the provisions of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the 1940 Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder and (ii) will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required

state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that none of the representations and warranties
in this subsection shall apply to statements in or omissions from the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Additional Proposals
made or omitted in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished by DSF Fund for use
in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Additional
Proposals.
         (h)  There are no material contracts made outside the
ordinary course of business to which RCS Fund is a party, other than
as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or the
Additional Proposals.
         (i)  All of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of RCS Fund have been offered for sale and sold in conformity
with all applicable federal securities laws.
         (j)  RCS Fund is and will at all times through the Merger
Date qualify for taxation as a regulated investment company under
Sections 851 and 852 of the Code.
         (k)  The issuance of the Merger Shares will be in compliance
with all applicable federal securities laws.
         (l)  The Merger Shares have been duly authorized and, when
issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, will be legally and
validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable, and no
stockholder of RCS Fund will have any preemptive right of
subscription or purchase in respect thereof.

for the periods covered thereby in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
         (d)  There are no material legal, administrative or other
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of DSF Fund, threatened

such date.
         (f)  No consent, approval, authorization or order of any
court or governmental authority is required for the consummation by
DSF Fund of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except

misleading; and at the time of the stockholders' meeting referred to
in Section 7(a) of this Agreement and on the Merger Date, the
Prospectus, as amended or supplemented by any amendments or supplements
filed or requested to be filed with the Commission by DSF Fund or RCS
Fund, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties
in this subsection shall apply only to statements of fact relating to
DSF Fund contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
or the Additional Proposals, or omissions to state in any thereof a
material fact relating to DSF Fund, made or omitted in reliance upon

constitute a guarantee of payment so that DSF Fund will pay in
the first instance any expenses, losses, claims, damages and
liabilities required to be paid by it under this Section 11(a)
without the necessity of the RCS Indemnified Parties first
paying the same.
         (b)  RCS Fund will indemnify and hold harmless DSF
Fund and each of its directors and officers (for purposes of
this subparagraph, the DSF Indemnified Parties) against any
and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities at any
time imposed upon or reasonably incurred by any one or more of
the DSF Indemnified Parties (i) in connection with, arising out
of, or resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact relating to RCS Fund contained in
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Additional
Proposals, or any amendment or supplement to any of the
foregoing, (ii) arising out of, or based upon, the omission or
alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing a material
fact relating to RCS Fund required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements relating to RCS Fund therein
not misleading, including without limitation any amounts paid
by any one or more of the DSF Indemnified Parties in a
reasonable compromise or settlement of any such claim, action,
suit or proceeding made with the consent of RCS Fund, or (iii)
arising out of or based upon a breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of RCS Fund contained in this Agreement.
The DSF Indemnified Parties will notify RCS Fund in writing
within ten days after the receipt by any one or more of the
DSF Indemnified Parties of any notice of legal process or any
suit brought against or claim made against such DSF Indemnified
Party as to any matters covered by this Section 11(b) or within
ten days of having discovered any loss or expense arising out
of or based upon a breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant of RCS Fund contained in this Agreement.  RCS Fund
shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the
defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding covered by
this Section 11(b), or, if it so elects, to assume at its
expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the DSF Indemnified
Parties the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding,
and, if RCS Fund elects to assume such defense, the DSF
Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to participate in the
defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding at their
own expense.  RCS Funds obligation under this Section 11(b) to

liabilities required to be paid by it under this Section 11(b)
without the necessity of the DSF Indemnified Parties first
paying the same.
         (c)  In the event that the Merger is not consummated by
reason of the breach by either DSF Fund or RCS Fund of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants contained in this
Agreement, the exclusive remedy of the non breaching party,
whether pursuant to this Section 11 or otherwise, shall be to be
reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred by it in

connection with obtaining such reimbursement.  The limitations in
this paragraph 11(c) shall not apply to the indemnities set forth
in Sections 11(a)(i), 11(a)(ii), 11(b)(i) or 11(b)(ii) of this
Agreement.
12.  No broker, etc.  Each of DSF Fund and RCS Fund represents that
there is no person who has dealt with it who by reason of such
dealings is entitled to any brokers or finders or other similar
fee or commission arising out of the Merger contemplated by this
Agreement.
13.  Waiver and Termination. DSF Fund and RCS Fund may waive any
condition to their respective obligations under this Agreement.
In addition, this Agreement shall terminate:
         (a)  if agreed by mutual consent of the boards of
directors of DSF Fund and RCS Fund;
         (b)  if more than 75% of the shares of common stock of DSF
Fund outstanding as of the date of this Agreement are tendered in
the Tender Offer;
         (c)  if the average daily closing price of a share of
common stock of RCS Fund during the five trading days immediately
preceding and including the expiration date of the Tender Offer
represents a percentage discount from its net asset value that is
more than 15 percentage points greater than the percentage discount
from net asset value represented by the average daily closing price
of a share of common stock of DSF Fund during that same period (for
the purposes of this Section 13(c), a premium to net asset value for
a share of common stock, as a percentage of such shares net asset
value, will be treated as a negative discount from net asset value for
such share of common stock, as a percentage of its net asset value);
or
         (d)  if the Merger has not been consummated by December 31,
2001, unless the boards of directors of DSF Fund and RCS Fund
otherwise agree. DSF Funds obligations pursuant to Section 6 of
this Agreement to reimburse RCS Fund for expenses incurred in
connection with the Merger shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
14.  Covenants, etc. deemed material.  All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made under this Agreement and any
certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed
to have been material and relied upon by each of the parties,
notwithstanding any investigation made by them or on their behalf.
15.  Sole agreement; amendments.  This Agreement supersedes all

Board of Directors
RCM Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc.


Dear Sirs:

	Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of August 2, 2001 (the Merger Agreement) between RCM
Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (RCS Fund) and Dresdner
RCM Global Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (DSF Fund).  This
letter is being delivered to RCS Fund by Dresdner RCM Global
Investors LLC (Dresdner RCM), on its own behalf, in order to
facilitate the consummation of the merger transaction provided
for in the Merger Agreement (the Merger) and in consideration
of the benefits to Dresdner RCM from the Merger.  Capitalized
terms used but not defined in this letter are used herein as
defined in the Merger Agreement.

	1.  In addition to the expense reimbursement obligations
of DSF Fund pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Dresdner RCM
hereby agrees:

          (a) to reimburse RCS Fund for all RCS Fund Expenses
up to a maximum amount of forty thousand dollars (US $40,000)
in the event that the Merger is not consummated by reason of
(i) DSF Funds being relieved of its obligation to consummate
the Merger by reason of the nonfulfillment of any condition to
such obligation referred to in Section 9 of the Merger Agreement,
including a failure to obtain the requisite majority vote of the
RCS Fund stockholders but excluding a failure to obtain the
requisite majority vote of the DSF Fund stockholders to approve
 the Merger; and/or (ii) a Termination With Cause; and

         (b) to reimburse RCS Fund for all Joint Expenses up to
a maximum amount of forty thousand dollars (US $ 40,000) in the
event that the Merger is not consummated by reason of the failure
to obtain the requisite majority vote of the DSF Fund stockholders
 to approve the Merger.

	2.  Dresdner RCM hereby agrees to waive during the
twelve months immediately following the consummation of the Merger
such portion of the investment management fee payable to Dresdner
RCM by RCS Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement
dated as of June 14, 1996, as may be necessary to ensure that the
Projected Total Expenses of RCS Fund shall be at least seventy five
thousand dollars ($75,000) more than the Pro Forma Total
Expenses of RCS Fund.  For purposes of this paragraph,
Projected Total Expenses shall mean the product of (x) the expense
ratio of RCS Funds estimated fixed expense items (including,
without limitation, legal, audit, accounting and regulatory
compliance expenses) and estimated variable expense items
(including, without limitation, management, administrative,
custody and transfer agencyfees) for fiscal year 2002, assuming that
the Merger had not been consummated, as shown in Column A of
Exhibit A hereto, and (y) the aggregate value of RCS Funds assets
immediately following consummation of the Merger; and Pro Forma
Total Expenses shall mean RCS Funds estimated fixed expense items
(including, without limitation, legal, audit, accounting and
regulatory compliance expenses) and estimated variable expense items
(including, without limitation, management, administrative, custody
and transfer agency fees) calculated based on the total value of
RCS Funds assets immediately following the consummation of the
Merger (in each case using the same assumptions as used to
calculate the Projected Total Expenses and covering the twelve
month period immediately following the consummation of the Merger),
together with incremental Merger-related legal and other
costs and expenses actually incurred by RCS Fund.

	3.  Dresdner RCM hereby agrees that,
following the consummation of the Merger, it will receive from
RCS Fund an investment management fee at a rate of 0.75%
(rather than 0.95%) per annum with respect to the value of all
assets in excess of the value of RCS Funds assets at the
Valuation Time.

         4.  Dresdner RCM hereby represents and warrants to
RCS Fund that the information furnished or approved by Dresdner
RCM for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the
Proxy Statements, including, without limitation, information with
respect to the investment policies and restrictions of RCS Fund
contained therein, will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading.

         5.  Dresdner RCM hereby agrees to provide RCS
Fund within 30 days following the Merger Date a list setting
forth the respective federal income tax bases of the DSF Fund
portfolio securities acquired by RCS Fund in the
Merger.

	6.  Dresdner RCM hereby represents and warrants
to RCS Fund that (i) for the period from November 1, 1999 to
the Merger Date, DSF Fund at all times has qualified for
taxation as a regulated investment company under Sections 851
and 852 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (ii)
DSF Fund has no known liabilities of a material nature,
contingent or otherwise, other than those shown as belonging
to it on its statement of assets and liabilities as of April
30, 2001 and those that DSF Fund shall have advised RCS Fund
at or prior to the Valuation Time were incurred by DSF
Fund subsequent to April 30, 2001, whether or not incurred in
the ordinary course of business; and (iii) the list of
portfolio securities and their
respective tax costs provided to RCS Fund pursuant to
paragraph 5 hereof fairly presents the federal income tax
 basis of such assets.

	7.  Dresdner RCM will indemnify and hold harmless
the RCS Indemnified Parties against any and all expenses,
losses, claims, damages and liabilities at any time imposed upon
or reasonably incurred by any one or more of the RCS Indemnified
Parties in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or
based upon a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
of Dresdner RCM contained in this letter.  The RCS Indemnified
Parties will notify Dresdner RCM in writing within ten days after
the receipt by any one or more of the RCS Indemnified Parties of
any notice of legal process or any suit brought against or claim
made against such RCS Indemnified Party as to any matters
covered by this indemnification or within ten days of having
discovered any loss or expense arising out of or based upon a
breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Dresdner RCM
contained in this letter.  Dresdner RCM shall be entitled to
participate at its own expense in the defense of any claim,
action, suit or proceeding covered by this paragraph, or, if it
so elects, to assume at its expense by counsel satisfactory to
the RCS Indemnified Parties the defense of any such claim,
action, suit or proceeding, and if Dresdner RCM elects to assume
such defense, the RCS Indemnified Parties shall be entitled
to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, suit
or proceeding at their expense. Dresdner RCMs obligation under
this paragraph to indemnify and hold harmless the RCS Indemnified
Parties shall constitute a guarantee of payment so that Dresdner
RCM will pay in the first instance any expenses, losses,
claims, damages and liabilities required to be paid by it
under this paragraph without the necessity of the RCS Indemnified
Parties' first paying the same.
	8.  Dresdner RCM hereby agrees that the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in this letter shall survive
the consummation of the Merger.

         9.  Dresdner RCM hereby agrees that the terms of
this letter, including the indemnification provided for in paragraph
7 hereof, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of
Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

Sincerely,
Dresdner RCM Global Investors LLC

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of RCM Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc.


In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
RCM Strategic Global Government Fund, Inc. (the Fund) for the year
ended January 31, 2002, 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 entitys objective of
preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Those controls include the safeguarding of assets
against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors 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 controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the effectiveness of their 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 American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants.  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
January 31, 2002.This report is intended solely for the information
and use of the Board of Directors, management and the Securities
and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not
be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
