Re: Connecticut General Life Insurance Company
CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account A
Dear Mr. Jones:
This is written in connection with the filing of the Rule 24f-2 Notice for
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company's CG Variable Life Insurance
Separate Account A dated February 28, 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
life insurance contract interest (the "Securities") registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Registration No. 33-60967). I have been
asked for my opinion whether such securities have been legally issued, fully
paid and are nonassessable.
In my capacity as Counsel to Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, I have
examined such records and documents pertaining to variable life insurance
contracts issued by Connecticut General Life Insurance Company and funded
through its CG Variable Life Insurance Separate Account A, as well as
applicable Federal and State laws, as in my judgement are necessary and
appropriate to enable me to formulate the opinion sought. As the current filing
reflects, no such contracts were issued in 1996; however, the records reflect
that Connecticut General Life Insurance Company was prepared to issue legally
any such contracts which were purchased, provided that their registration were
made definite in number by filing the Notice with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or before June 30, 1997. The records further reflect that such
contracts would have been issued only in such a manner that they were fully
paid and nonassessable.
Sincerely,
/s/ MICHAEL A. JAMES
Michael A. James
