                        SUPPLEMENT DATED OCTOBER 9, 2000
                      TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 2000
                            WHICH DESCRIBES SVUL II

Please review this supplement carefully, because it contains new information not
in the May 1, 2000 Prospectus. Keep this supplement with the Prospectus.

1.__ The following is added to the HIGHLIGHTS section on page 4, prior to the
     section entitled "Amount of Premium Payment".:

The Coverage Protection Benefit Rider provides a limited additional means to
help you maintain your death benefit protection and avoid the lapse of your
Policy. In states where approved, it will automatically be a part of your Policy
at Date of Issue. Please refer to page 32 for additional information.

2.__ The following is added to the "Lapse of a Policy" section on page 32:

COVERAGE PROTECTION BENEFIT RIDER

This rider provides you with additional protection to prevent a lapse in your
Policy. It protects your Policy from lapse as long as the Coverage Protection
Value is not less than zero, therefore providing you a means of maintaining the
death benefit when there are insufficient funds in your account to pay for that
month's Cost of Insurance charges. It is a limited benefit in that it does not
provide any additional death benefit amount or any increase in your cash
surrender value. Also, it does not provide any type of market performance
guarantee, nor does it offer protection against the lapse of your Policy due to
actual investment gains or losses that are worse than expected.

We calculate the Coverage Protection Value in a fashion similar to the Net
Accumulation Value, but use current expenses and a unique table of guaranteed
monthly insurance factors called the Coverage Protection Factors. We fix these
factors at Date of Issue for the life of the Policy. We also use an Investment
Adjustment in lieu of any actual gain or loss due to market performance of the
Variable Account and in lieu of any actual interest credited to the Fixed
Account. The Investment Adjustment is intended to reflect a gain, or loss, in
relative proportion to what is realized in calculating the Net Accumulation
Value for that period.

You will automatically be issued this rider in states where it has been
approved. In certain states, the rider may be provided under a different name.
If available in your state, the rider will be effective as of the Date of Issue
of your Policy.

LINCOLN LIFE FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT R

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND VARIABLE ACCOUNT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
    DIVIDENDS:
    Dividends paid to the Variable Account are automatically
    reinvested in shares of the variable subaccounts on the
    payable date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
    date.

    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
    Operations of the Variable Account form a part of and are
    taxed with operations of Lincoln Life, which is taxed as a
    life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. The
    Variable Account will not be taxed as a regulated investment
    company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
    Using current federal income tax law, no federal income
    taxes are payable with respect to the Variable Account's net
    investment income and the net realized gain on investments.

2.  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE GUARANTEES & OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATE
    Amounts are paid to Lincoln Life for mortality and expense
    guarantees at a percentage of the current value of the
    Variable Account each day. The current rate of deduction,
    stated as an annual percentage, is .80%. The mortality and
    expense risk charges for each of the variable subaccounts
    are reported in the statements of operations.

    Prior to the allocation of premiums to the Variable Account,
    Lincoln Life deducts a premium load of 8% of each premium
    payment to cover state taxes and federal income tax
    liabilities and a portion of the sales expenses incurred by
    Lincoln Life. The premium loads for the six months ended
    June 30, 2000 amounted to $1,875,442.

    Lincoln Life charges a monthly administrative fee of $12.50
    in the first policy year and $5 in subsequent policy years.
    In addition, there is a monthly charge of $0.09 per $1,000
    of specified amount for the first twenty years of the policy
    and for the first twenty years following an increase in
    specified amount. If the no lapse provision is in effect
    there will also be a monthly charge of $0.01 per $1,000 of
    specified amount. This charge is for items such as premium
    billing and collection, policy value calculation,
    confirmations and periodic reports. Administrative fees for
    the six months ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $1,352,205.

    Lincoln Life assumes responsibility for providing the
    insurance benefit included in the policy. Lincoln Life
    charges a monthly deduction of the cost of insurance and any
    charges for supplemental riders. The cost of insurance
    charge depends on the attained age, risk classification,
    gender classification (in accordance with state law) and the
    current net amount at risk. On a monthly basis, the
    administrative fee and the cost of insurance charge are
    deducted proportionately for the value of each variable
    subaccount and/or fixed account funding options. The fixed
    account is part of the general account of Lincoln Life and
    is not included in these financial statements. The cost of
    insurance charges for the six months ended June 30, 2000
    amounted to $319,876.

2.  MORTALITY AND EXPENSE GUARANTEES & OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATE
    (CONTINUED)
    Under certain circumstances, Lincoln Life reserves the right
    to charge a transfer fee of $25 for each transfer after the
    twelfth transfer per year between variable subaccounts. For
    the six months ended June 30, 2000, no transfer fees were
    deducted from the variable subaccounts.

    Lincoln Life, upon full surrender of a policy, may charge a
    surrender charge. This charge is in part a deferred sales
    charge and in part a recovery of certain first year
    administrative costs. The amount of the surrender charge, if
    any, will depend on the face amount of the policy and the
    issue age of the policy. In no event will the surrender
    charge exceed the maximum allowed by state or federal law.
    No surrender charge is imposed on a partial surrender, but
    an administrative fee of $25 is imposed, allocated pro-rata
    among the variable sub-accounts (and, where applicable, the
    fixed account) from which the partial surrender proceeds are
    taken. There were no full surrender charges or partial
    surrender administrative charges paid to Lincoln Life
    attributable to the variable subaccounts for the six months
    ended June 30, 2000.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of The Lincoln National
Life Insurance Company (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Indiana Insurance Department
(the "Department"), except that they do not contain complete notes. "Prescribed"
statutory accounting practices include state laws, regulations and general
administrative rules, as well as a variety of publications of the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). "Permitted" statutory
accounting practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed;
such practices may differ from state to state, may differ from company to
company within a state and may change in the future. These financial statements
are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results, in accordance with
the accounting basis described above. For further information, refer to the
statutory-basis financial statements and notes as of December 31, 1999, 1998,
and 1997 included in this registration statement.

Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending
December 31, 2000.

                                    PART II
                        FEES AND CHARGES REPRESENTATION


    Lincoln Life represents that the fees and charges deducted under the
Contracts, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services
rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by Lincoln
Life.

                          UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

    Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic
information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or
regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to
authority conferred in that section.

                                INDEMNIFICATION

       (a) Brief description of indemnification provisions.

           In general, Article VII of the By-Laws of The Lincoln National Life
           Insurance Company (LNL) provides that LNL will indemnify certain
           persons against expenses, judgments and certain other specified costs
           incurred by any such person if he/she is made a party or is
           threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he/she
           was a director, officer, or employee of LNL, as long as he/she acted
           in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in the
           best interests of, or not opposed to the best interests of, LNL.
           Certain additional conditions apply to indemnification in criminal
           proceedings.

           In particular, separate conditions govern indemnification of
           directors, officers, and employees of LNL in connection with suits
           by, or in the right of, LNL.

           Please refer to Article VII of the By-Laws of LNL (Exhibit No. 6(b)
           hereto) for the full text of the indemnification provisions.
           Indemnification is permitted by, and is subject to the requirements
           of, Indiana law.

       (b) Undertaking pursuant to Rule 484 of Regulation C under the Securities
           Act of 1933.

           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
           Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
           controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions
           described in Item 28(a) above or otherwise, the Registrant has been
           advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
           such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
           and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
           indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
           the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer,
           or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
           any such action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
           officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
           registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
           the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
           court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
           indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
           Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
