ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The following documents have been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by CIGNA Corporation ("CIGNA") or the
Savings and Investment Plus Plan (the "Plan"), all in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act") (File No. 1-8323), and are incorporated herein by reference:

         (a)  CIGNA's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1992;

         (b)  CIGNA's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
March 31, June 30 and September 30, 1993;

         (c)  CIGNA's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated January 21, February
16, March 4, March 31, May 3, August 2, November 1, November 19, December 14
and December 21, 1993;

         (d)  The Plan's Annual Report on Form 11-K for the year ended December
31, 1992; and

         (e)  The description of CIGNA's Common Stock contained in CIGNA's
Registration Statement on Form 8-B dated March 22, 1982, the description of
Preferred Stock Purchase Rights contained in CIGNA's Registration Statement on
Form 8-A dated July 28, 1987, as amended by CIGNA's filings on Form 8 dated
August 11, 1987 and March 27, 1989, and any amendment or report filed for the
purpose of updating such descriptions.

         All reports and other documents subsequently filed by CIGNA and the
Plan pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior 
to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities
offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         The legality of the 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock registered hereby
has been passed upon by Thomas W. O'Connell, Esquire.  Mr.  O'Connell was a
full-time employee of CIGNA at the time his opinion was delivered.  As
permitted by Item 8(a) of Form S-8, such opinion relates only to original
issuance securities and not to securities acquired by the Plan on the open
market.

         The legality of the 250,000 shares of Common Stock registered pursuant
to the Plan's former registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No.
2-76445), which registration statement has been incorporated herein by
reference, has previously been passed upon by counsel to CIGNA in connection
with Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to such registration statement.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, CIGNA is
empowered to indemnify its directors and officers in the circumstances therein
provided.

         Under Article VI of its Bylaws, CIGNA will indemnify any director or
officer of CIGNA, as well as any other persons who serve as directors or
officers of any other entity at the request of CIGNA, to the extent that such
persons' defense to any claim against them in such capacity is successful or to
the extent that they are determined to have acted in good faith and in a manner
such persons reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of CIGNA and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, as to which such persons
had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.  Article VI
will not provide indemnification to a director or officer who has been adjudged
to be liable to CIGNA, unless a competent court shall determine that such
indemnification is proper.

         CIGNA is insured against liabilities which it may incur by reason of
Article VI of its Bylaws.  In addition, directors and officers are insured, at
CIGNA's expense, against some liabilities which might arise out of their
employment and not be subject to indemnification under the Bylaws.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

         Documents filed as Exhibits hereto are listed in the Exhibit Index
appearing on page E-1.

         The registrant has previously submitted the Plan to the Internal
Revenue Service and received a favorable determination letter.  The
registrant hereby undertakes to submit the Plan and any amendment thereto to
the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner and make all changes required
by the Internal Revenue Service in order to qualify the Plan under Section 401
of the Internal Revenue Code.  

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

CIGNA hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   5
                    (i)  To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3)
                    of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                    arising after the effective date of the registration
                    statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
                    thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
                    a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
                    Registration Statement; and


                    (iii) To include any material information with respect to
                    the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
                    Registration Statement or any material change to such
                    information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii)
above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by CIGNA Corporation pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.

         (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

         (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("the Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described
under item 6 above, or otherwise, the





                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   6
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE:  CIGNA Savings and Investment Plus Plan

Sirs:

     This opinion is being delivered in connection with the filing of a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") by CIGNA
Corporation ("CIGNA") on or about January 4, 1994 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Pursuant to the Registration Statement,
CIGNA is registering the offer and sale of 1,500,000 shares of its Common
Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Shares"), for issuance under the terms
and conditions of the above- referenced plan (the "Plan").  The Registration
Statement also covers an equal number of Rights to Purchase Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, Series D (the "Rights"), which are attached to
the Shares.

     As Counsel for CIGNA, I am familiar with the Certificate of Incorporation
and the By-Laws of CIGNA, and with the terms of the Plan and the Plan's Summary 
Plan Description and Prospectus.  I have also examined, or caused to be
examined, such documents and instruments (including minutes of proceedings of
CIGNA's Board of Directors) and have made, or caused to be made, such further
investigation, as I have deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with
this opinion.

     As permitted by Item 8(a) of Form S-8, this opinion extends only to those
securities offered and sold pursuant to the Plan which are original issuance
securities.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Shares
(together with the attached Rights), when duly issued and delivered against
full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Plan will be
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.





                                      E-4

     I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Registration Statement, and I further consent to the appearance of my name in
the Registration Statement under the caption "Interests of Named Experts and
Counsel".

                              Very truly yours,
