                        VARIABLE ANNUITY-1 SERIES ACCOUNT

                      Supplement dated June 10, 1998 to the
                   Prospectus for The Schwab Variable Annuity
                                dated May 1, 1998


Effective July 1, 1998, the Montgomery Variable Series:  International Small Cap
Fund (the "Montgomery  International  Fund") will be closed to Contributions and
Transfers.

Any Contract owner utilizing an Automatic  Contribution Plan ("ACP") or a custom
transfer  feature:  Dollar Cost  Averaging or  Rebalancer  Option  involving the
Montgomery  International  Fund should contact the Schwab Annuity Service Center
at  1-800-838-0649  or P.O.  Box  7806,  San  Francisco,  California  94120-9327
immediately  to make  alternate  arrangements.  If you  fail  to make  alternate
arrangements by July 1, 1998,  allocations made to the Montgomery  International
Fund utilizing ACP or a customer transfer feature will be directed to the Schwab
Money Market Investment Division.

First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
are seeking an order from the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") to
permit a substitution of the Montgomery  International Fund. If allowed,  shares
of the Montgomery  International  Fund would be  substituted  with shares of the
American  Century VP  International  Fund (the "American  Century Fund") and any
amounts that a Contract owner has allocated to the Montgomery International Fund
will be  transferred  to the American  Century Fund on the date to be designated
upon receipt of the SEC order. The American Century Fund is presently  available
for  allocations  under the Contract and is described in the  Prospectus for The
Schwab  Variable  Annuity and in the  American  Century Fund  Prospectus,  which
accompanies The Schwab Variable Annuity Prospectus.

At any time prior to the proposed  substitution,  you may transfer  your account
balance from the Montgomery International Fund Investment Division to any of the
remaining  Investment  Divisions without incurring any charges and such transfer
will not be counted as one of the twelve free transfers  permitted in a calendar
year. If the  substitution  is approved by the SEC,  Contract owners affected by
the  substitution  will be  permitted to make one transfer of all amounts in the
American Century Fund Investment  Division without incurring any charges and, so
long as the  transfer  is made  within  30  days  of the  effective  date of the
substitution,  it  will  not be  counted  as one of the  twelve  free  transfers
permitted in a calendar year.

This supplement  should be retained with The Schwab Variable Annuity  Prospectus
for future reference.
