REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Van Kampen Bond Fund

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Van Kampen
Bond Fund (the "Fund") for the year ended June 30, 2000 (on which we have issued
our report dated August 7, 2000), 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, and not to provide
assurance on the Fund's 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 accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those controls include the safeguarding of
assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.

Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any
evaluation of internal control to future periods are subject to the risk that
the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal control would not necessarily disclose
all matters in the 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 the
Fund's internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
June 30, 2000.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Fund's
management, the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Van Kampen Bond 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.

Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street, N.W.
Washigton, D.C.  20549


Gentlemen:


We have read the statements in Exhibit 77K of Form N-SAR dated June 30, 2000, of
Van Kampen Bond Fund and are in agreement with the statements contained therein.
We have no basis to agree or disagree with other statements of the registrant
contained therein.


                                                              Very truly yours,



                                                              ERNST & YOUNG LLP

<PAGE>

Exhibit 77K


Ernst & Young LLP served as the independent public accountants for the Fund's
last fiscal year. The client-auditor relationship between Ernst & Young LLP and
the Fund ceased as of May 8, 2000. Ernst & Young LLP reports on the financial
statements for the Fund during the Fund's last two fiscal years did not contain
an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the
last two fiscal years and any subsequent interim period, there were no
disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would
have caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement in connection with its report.
