      Re:  Issuance and Sale of 99,296,408
           Shares of The Bond Fund of America,
           Inc.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
          The Bond Fund of America, Inc. (the "Fund") has requested our opinion
in connection with the registration for offer and sale by the Fund of
99,296,408 shares of capital stock of the Fund (the "Stock").  We understand
that a copy of this opinion will be provided to the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Rule 24f-2(b)(1) under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
 
          We have examined documents relating to the organization of the Fund
and the authorization for registration and issuance of shares of the Fund.  We
have also examined a Certificate of the Treasurer dated January 31, 1995,
relating to the number of shares of the Fund sold by the Fund during Fiscal
1994.
 
          Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
 
          The issuance and sale of the Stock by the Fund have been duly and
validity authorized by all appropriate corporate action and, assuming delivery
thereof and payment therefor was in accordance with the description set forth
in the Fund's current prospectus under the Securities Act of 1933, the Stock
will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable when
sold.
 
          We consent to the submission of a copy of this opinion to the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the filing of the Fund's
Rule 24f-2 Notice for Fiscal 1994, as contemplated in Rule 24f-2(b)(1) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
          The opinion given above is subject to the condition that the Fund
will comply with the provisions of any applicable laws, regulations and permits
of any state or foreign country in which any of the Stock is sold.
 
                                   Very truly yours,
                                   /s/ Morrison & Foerster
