Re: Issuance of 142,622,717 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 issuance by the Fund of 142,622,717 capital shares of the
Fund (the "Stock") during the period January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995
inclusive ("Fiscal 1995").  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 and issuance of shares of the Fund.  We have also examined a
certificate of the Assistant Treasurer of the Fund, dated February 14, 1996,
relating to the number of shares of the Fund issued by the Fund during Fiscal
1995.  
 
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:  
The issuance of the Stock by the Fund has been duly and validly authorized by
all appropriate corporate action and, assuming delivery by sale or in accord
with the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan in accordance with the description
set forth in the Fund's current prospectus under the Securities Act of 1933,
the Stock was legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  
 
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 1995, 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 shall have
complied with the provision of any applicable laws, regulations and permits of
any state or foreign country in which any of the Stock was sold or was issued
in accord with the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan.
 
Very truly yours,
 
MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP
