Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of Transamerica Occidental Life Separate Account VUL-1 (the "Fund"),
we are filing a certification pursuant to paragraph (j) of Rule 497 under the
Securities Act of 1933. In this regard, we certify that the form of Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") for certain contracts offered by
the Fund otherwise required to be filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 does not
differ from the form of Prospectus and SAI contained in the Form S-6
registration statement for the Fund (the "Registration Statement"), which was
filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26,
2000, via EDGARLINK.
Sincerely,
Regina M. Fink
Assistant General Counsel
