Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
The above-referenced registration statement on Form N-4 filed via EDGAR on

statement 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 the registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance
with 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 said Section 8(a) may determine.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Shari J. Lease, Vice
President & Counsel at 603/226-5105.
Sincerely,
/s/ Dennis R. Glass
