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, 2003 (on
which we have issued our report dated August 4, 2003), 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 due to 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, 2003.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the
Fund's management, the 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.
