A Message to Variable  Annuity Contract Owners


There were significant increases in the Stock Markets in both 1995 and 1996.  
In 1996, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 26.0% in value and the 
Standard & Poor's 500 Index increased by 20.3%.  Both the Dow Jones Industrial 
Average and the S&P 500 are unmanaged indices.

The yield on the 30 year Treasury Bond has increased recently, so that at the 
end of January, 1997 it was approximately 7%.  Short term rates, as measured 
by the 3 month Treasury Bill, are yielding 5.4% now, which is slightly ahead 
of a year ago.

The U.S. Gross Domestic Product for 1996 increased approximately 3% while 
inflation remains low with the Consumer Price Index increasing by 3.3% in 
1996.

The Variable Annuity contracts which are the subject of this report are 
distributed by Washington Square Securities, Inc. ("WSSI"), 20 Washington 
Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401, (612) 372-5507.  WSSI, a 
registered broker-dealer, is an affiliated company of ReliaStar Bankers 
Security Life Insurance Company, the issuer of your insurance contract.

The Outlook.  For 1997, we expect economic growth to continue near the trend 
rate and continuing moderate inflation with interest rates remaining near 
current levels.  At the time of this report, macroeconomic indicators are 
showing mixed signs.  While the business expansion has been underway for 
almost six years, it is likely to be sustained throughout 1997.  Nevertheless, 
profits are expected to grow albeit at a slower rate than in the past few 
years.

New Investment Options.  In November 1996, the Northstar Growth Fund (an 
affiliated entity) and the Fidelity Contrafund Fund were added as investment 
options.  We encourage you to obtain and review  the prospectuses for these 
funds.

Name Change.  Please note that on July 1, 1996, Bankers Security Life 
Insurance Society changed its name to ReliaStar Bankers Security Life 
Insurance Company.  ReliaStar Bankers Security is part of a group of companies 
owned by ReliaStar Financial Corp.

	RELIASTAR BANKERS SECURITY VARIABLE ANNUITY FUNDS P AND Q FOR THE USA PLAN
	NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	December 31, 1996

Note 1 - Organization

ReliaStar Bankers Security Variable Annuity Funds P and Q for The USA Plan 
(the "Separate Accounts") were established under the provisions of New York 
insurance laws by ReliaStar Bankers Security Life Insurance Company 
("ReliaStar Bankers"), previously Bankers Security Life Insurance Society (see 
Note 6), in April 1987 (Funds 144, 145, 146, 147, 044, 045, 046 and 047), in 
November 1990 (Funds 148, 149, 048 and 049), in December 1990 (Fund 043), in 
January 1991 (Fund 143), in April 1995 (Funds 150, 151, 152, 050, 051 and 
052), in May 1995 (Funds 174, 175, 172, 176, 171, 120, 127, 074, 075, 072, 
076, 071, 020 and 027) and in November 1996 (Funds 178, 179, 078 and 079).  
The Separate Accounts are registered with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 
1940, as amended (the "Act"), and are used to fund certain benefits for 
variable annuity policies issued by ReliaStar Bankers.  The assets of the 
Separate Accounts are invested in open-end diversified management investment 
companies registered under the Act.

Note 2 - Investments

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date at the purchase cost or 
sales proceeds, as applicable.  Investments owned are valued at closing market 
quotations.  The difference between beginning of year value and current market 
value of investments owned is recorded as an unrealized gain (loss) on 
investments.  Dividends received are generally recorded as income on the 
record date and are reinvested to purchase additional mutual fund shares.  The 
aggregate cost of shares acquired and the aggregate proceeds from shares sold 
for the year ended December 31,  1996, were:

</TABLE>

Note 3 - Taxes

ReliaStar Bankers is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Since the Separate Accounts 
are not separate entities from ReliaStar Bankers, and their operations form a 
part of ReliaStar Bankers, they will not be taxed separately as a "regulated 
investment company" under Sub-chapter M of the Code.  Under existing Federal 
income tax law, investment income of the Separate Accounts, to the extent that 
it is applied to increase reserves under a contract, is not taxed and may be 
compounded through reinvestment without additional tax to ReliaStar Bankers.

Note 4 - Charges and Transfers

ReliaStar Bankers does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments made 
for these contracts.  All or a portion of the accumulated value may be 
withdrawn during the accumulation period.  However, purchase payments that are 
partially or totally withdrawn from the contract prior to eight years from 
their date of payment will be charged (with certain exceptions) a contingent 
deferred sales charge of a percentage of the amount of the purchase payment 
withdrawn.  No such charge will be imposed against withdrawals of purchase 
payments held for at least eight years.  The withdrawn amounts shall be 
considered withdrawals of purchase payments until the total of all purchase 
payments in the accumulated value have been withdrawn.  A contingent deferred 
sales charge will not be made against that portion of withdrawals which are in 
excess of the total of all purchase payments.  Within the period applicable to 
the contingent deferred sales charge for purchase payments, the contract owner 
may surrender up to 10% of such purchase payments held for at least one year, 
within stated guidelines, without paying a contingent deferred sales charge.  
This "free withdrawal" amount is cumulative to 20% of such purchase payments 
if no withdrawals are taken for a two-year period.  ReliaStar Bankers deducts 
a daily charge equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the daily asset value of 
the Separate Accounts for mortality and expense risks assumed.  In addition, 
on each contract anniversary, ReliaStar Bankers deducts an annual maintenance 
charge of $30 from the accumulated value of the contract.  Where applicable, 
premium taxes are charged.

The amount of reserves for contracts in the distribution period is determined 
by actuarial assumptions which meet statutory requirements.  Gains and losses 
resulting from actual mortality experience, the full responsibility for which 
is assumed by ReliaStar Bankers, are offset by transfers to, or from, 
ReliaStar Bankers.  Included in Net receivable from (payable to) ReliaStar 
Bankers are policy transactions which are unsettled as of the reporting date.

<PAGE>

Note 5 - Transfers Among Funds

ReliaStar Bankers established a fixed fund in 1989 to which contract owners in 
the Separate Accounts could transfer all or part of their contract equity.  
This fund is reported in the General Account of ReliaStar Bankers.  Transfer 
activity to/from the fixed annuity fund is included in Transfers Among Funds 
in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.  Net transfers from 
(to) the fixed fund were $3.8 million and ($1.3) million for the years ended 
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Note 6 - Related Parties

On January 17, 1995, ReliaStar Bankers became an indirect wholly owned 
subsidiary of ReliaStar Financial Corp. ("ReliaStar"), an insurance holding 
company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  In conjunction with this merger, in 
May 1995, the Northstar Income and Growth and High Yield Bond Funds were added 
as investment options.  Subsequently, in November 1996, the Northstar Growth 
Fund was added as an investment option.  These Funds are affiliates of 
ReliaStar Bankers.

                                  	INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




To ReliaStar Bankers Security Life Insurance Company and 
 	 ReliaStar Bankers Security Variable Annuity Funds P and Q for the USA 
   Plan Contract Owners:



We have audited the accompanying combined statement of assets and liabilities 
of the ReliaStar Bankers Security Variable Annuity Funds P and Q for the USA 
Plan as of December 31, 1996, and the related combined statements of 
operations and changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 
1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of ReliaStar Bankers 
Security Life Insurance Company management.  Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  The 
accumulation unit values for each of the years in the eight-year period ended 
December 31, 1994, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 
9, 1995, expressed an unqualified opinion on those values.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant 
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of the combined funds 
constituting the ReliaStar Bankers Security Variable Annuity Funds P and Q for 
the USA Plan as of December 31, 1996, and the combined results of operations 
and the changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, 
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
