Re: Life Insurance Company of North America
Separate Account A
Dear Mr. Leonard:
This is written in connection with the filing of the Rule 24f-2
Notice for Life Insurance Company of North America's Separate
Account dated February 25, 1997, herewith (the "Notice") under
Section 24(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The Notice proposes to make definite the dollar amount of such
Separate Account's variable annuity contract interest (the
"Securities") registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (Registration No. 2-29623). I have been asked for my
opinion whether such securities have been legally issued, fully
paid and are nonassessable.
In my capacity as Senior Counsel of Life Insurance Company of
North America, I have examined such records and documents
pertaining to variable annuity contracts issued by Life Insurance
Company of North America and funded through its Separate Account
A, as well as applicable Federal and State laws, as in my
judgment are necessary and appropriate to enable me to formulate
the opinion sought. Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion
that the Securities have been legally issued, provided that their
registration is made definite in number by filing the Notice with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before June 30,
1997. The Securities are fully paid and nonassessable.
Sincerely,
/s/Michael A. James
Michael A. James
Senior Counsel
