EXHIBIT TO SUB-ITEM 77Q3:

(i)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
     An evaluation was performed under the supervision
     of the registrant's management, including the
     principal executive officer and principal financial
     officer, of the effectiveness of the design
     and operation of the registrant's disclosure
     controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation,
     the registrant's management, including the principal
     executive officer and principal financial officer,
     concluded that the registrant's disclosure controls
     and procedures were effective for this reporting period.

(ii) Changes in internal controls.  Effective July 2002, the
     fund accounting and administrative functions previously
     performed by State Street Bank for the TIAA-CREF
     Institutional Mutual Funds were transferred over to
     employees of TIAA.  There have been no significant
     changes in the registrant's internal controls or in
     other factors that could significantly affect internal
     controls since that time and subsequent to the date
     of the evaluation described above.

(iii) Certifications.  See attached.
