Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for
CG Variable Annuity Account I
Individual Variable Annuities
File No. 2-31674
-----------------------------
Gentlemen:
I am rendering this opinion to you on behalf of CG Variable Annuity Account
I, Individual Variable Annuities (the "Account"), a separate account of
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of CIGNA Corporation ("CIGNA"). In connection therewith, I have examined the
Rule 24f-2 Notice for the Account in the form filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Notice"). By the Notice, the Account will make
definite in number the registration of variable annuity contracts sold by the
Account in 1996 in the amount of $4,683.00 (the "Securities"). For purposes of
this opinion, I have made or caused to be made such investigations of fact and
law, and have examined or caused to be examined and relied without further
inquiry upon originals or copies furnished to me or others on my behalf of such
official and corporate certificates, instruments, and other documents and oral
statements of corporate employees whom I believe to be responsible, as I have
deemed relevant as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In rendering
this opinion, I have assumed the authenticity of all original documents, the
accuracy of all copies, the genuineness of all signatures, and the power and
authority of all persons other than employees of CIGNA and its affiliates to
act in the respective capacities in which they purport to act.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and assuming that the Securities were
sold, issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Account's
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, as contained in the
Account's Registration Statement in effect at the time of sale, I am of the
opinion that the Securities were legally issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable by the Account.
