     USAA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE SEMIANNUAL REPORT

                              PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

                        FROM THE DESK OF JIM MIDDLETON


Your Variable Universal Life* policy provides you with valuable life insurance
protection. As an added bonus, your policy offers the potential for future
financial growth.

I am pleased to provide you with this mid-year overview of our Variable
Universal Life's policy performance and accumulation unit values, as well as
USAA Life Investment Trust reports. Please take a moment to review your policy
and selected investment asset mix to ensure it matches your personal investment
and payment strategy.

Variable Universal Life is purchased because a long-term need for life insurance
has been identified. Sometimes its advantages - tax-deferred accumulation and
tax-free access to your cash value - are forgotten. Are you making the most of
this valuable policy to assist you in later years? Have you maximized its
potential?

When it comes to Variable Universal Life, here are some things to consider:

  . Make use of your policy's flexibility by increasing the amount of money you
    are investing. This could prevent your policy from lapsing when you need it
    most.

  . By adding money to your policy, you'll make optimum use of its valuable
    tax-deferral feature.

  . The more you invest in your policy now, the more you will have prepared for
    your retirement and estate planning goals.

Remember: One of the best ways to plan for retirement is to diversify your
portfolio. See page A-2 of this report for accumulation unit values and an
overview of the historical performance of your funds. If you would like to
discuss your personal financial goals, or learn more about payment strategies,
please call us at 1-800-531-4265 (456-9061 in San Antonio).

You may also access information about the value of your contract and the
performance of your investment options 24 hours a day, seven days a week by
simply calling the toll-free USAA Touchline(R) at 1-800-531-5433.

Sincerely,


/s/ James M. Middleton

THE PERFORMANCE OF THE USAA LIFE AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND ACCOUNT AND THE DEUTSCHE
VIT SMALL CAP INDEX FUND ACCOUNT WILL REFLECT THE VOLATILITY OF INVESTMENTS IN
SMALL CAP STOCKS AND INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS.

The 7-day yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund account
than the total return. An investment in the USAA Life Money Market Fund Account
is not insured or guaranteed by the F.D.I.C. or any other government agency.
Although the fund seeks to preserve a stable value at $1 per share, it is
possible to lose money by investing in the fund account. The 7-day yield
reflects the 7-day period ended June 30, 2000.

Foreign investing is subject to additional risks, such as currency fluctuations,
market illiquidity, and political instability.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not represent the
actual experience of amounts invested by a particular owner. Past performance is
not a guarantee of future results. The variable insurance products are subject
to market risk, including potential fluctuations in investment return and the
potential loss of principal.  .  Inception date for all variable fund accounts
for Variable Universal Life is 8/31/98 when sale of USAA Life's Variable
Universal Life insurance policy began. Since inception performance numbers
reflect experience since USAA Life began selling the product. All data reflects
the actual performance of the underlying funds in which the Life Insurance
Separate Account invests, adjusted to reflect a deduction of the M&E risk charge
and $5 monthly maintenance charge. M&E charges total 0.75% on an annual basis.
THE PERFORMANCE FIGURES ABOVE DO NOT REFLECT THE COST OF INSURANCE PROTECTION
AND OTHER INSURANCE POLICY FEES AND, IF THEY DID, THE PERFORMANCE QUOTED ABOVE
WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER. INVESTORS SHOULD ASK FOR A PERSONAL ILLUSTRATION
THAT SHOWS THE EFFECT ON PERFORMANCE OF THE COST OF INSURANCE, OTHER CHARGES,
AND OTHER VARIABLES.  .  Because accumulation units are part of an insurance
policy, actual performance should always be considered in conjunction with the
policy's fees, cash value, and death benefit.  .  This product is not yet
available in all states. This product is known in some states as Flexible
Premium Variable Life.
