Re: AUL American Individual Variable Annuity Unit Trust of
American United Life Insurance Company (R)
Individual Flexible Premium Deferred Variable Annuity
File Number: 333-70049
Dear Sir or Madam:
Attached for filing is a Delaying Amendment to the Registration Statement
for the AUL American Individual Variable Annuity Unit Trust for Individual
Flexible Premium Deferred Variable Annuity contracts. This Amendment is being
filed to effectuate a delay in the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
pursuant to Rule 473 under the Securities Act of 1933. The File Number is
333-70049.
The following language should be added to the Registration Statement to
effectuatate this modification:
"The Registrant amends this Registration Statement under the Securities Act
of 1933 on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective
date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically
states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective
in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of
1933 or until the Registration Statement shall become effective on such
date as the Commission, acting pursuant to Section 8(a) may determine."
Martha Peterson of the SEC Office of Insurance Products notified us that
the Registration Statement did not have the proper "delaying amendment" in it.
She suggested that we contact Filer Support to determine the proper course of
action to rectify the situation. George Young of Filer Support stated that we
needed to file Submission Type DEL AM with a letter of explanation, including
the actual language requested. This filing is hereby intended to satisfy this
requirement.
No fees are required in connection with this filing. Please call me at
(317) 285-1869 with any questions or comments regarding the attached, or any of
the related filings.
Cordially,
/s/ John C. Swhear
