              SUBSTITUTION OF NEW PORTFOLIOS OF EQ ADVISORS TRUST
                    FOR PORTFOLIOS OF THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST

                        Supplement dated August 30, 1999
  to prospectuses dated before May 1, 1999, and Supplemented as of May 1, 1999;
                   and prospectuses dated May 1, 1999 or later
     for all Variable Annuity Contracts and Variable Life Insurance Policies
                                    issued by
            The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This supplement relates to our prospectuses for VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS and
VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES.

Currently, the variable investment options invest in Class IA or IB shares of
the corresponding Portfolios of The Hudson River Trust or EQ Advisors Trust.

     The Securities and Exchange Commission has published a notice of our filing
of an application for an order approving the Substitution of new Portfolios of
EQ Advisors Trust for Portfolios of The Hudson River Trust. The new Portfolios
that will be available under your contract or policy will replace each of The
Hudson River Trust Portfolios currently available under this contract or policy.
We expect the order to be issued in September 1999. The proposed Substitution is
discussed in the applicable prospectus or supplement dated May 1, 1999 or later.

We plan to effect the Substitution on or about October 1, 1999. At that time,
the assets of each of the Portfolios of The Hudson River Trust will be
transferred to the corresponding new Portfolios of EQ Advisors Trust. Class IA
and Class IB shares of The Hudson River Trust will become Class IA and Class IB
shares of EQ Advisors Trust. At the time the Substitution is effected, the value
of your variable investment options under a contract or policy will be the same
as immediately before the Substitution.

We will send you written confirmation that the Substitution has been completed.
After that, your investment results in any affected variable investment option
will be based on the investment performance of the corresponding EQ Advisors
Trust Portfolio. The Hudson River Trust Portfolios will no longer be available.

The management fees for the new Portfolios will be the same as those for the
corresponding Portfolios of The Hudson River Trust. It is expected that the
other Portfolio expenses may increase marginally by 0.01%.

Of course, you may make transfers among the investment options, as usual. From
now through 30 days after the Substitution, we will waive any applicable
charges.

If you have any questions regarding the Substitution, please communicate with us
directly or contact your registered representative.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED AUGUST 30, 1999

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This supplement updates certain information in the most recent prospectus you
received for your Equitable variable life insurance policy listed above, and in
any prior supplements to that prospectus.*

NEW INVESTMENT OPTIONS. Beginning August 30, 1999, you will have four new
investment options (Funds) available under your policy:

o    Capital Guardian Research
o    Capital Guardian U.S. Equity
o    EQ/Evergreen
o    EQ/Evergreen Foundation

See "Investment Portfolios" below, as well as the EQ Advisors Trust supplement
attached to this supplement, for more information.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS. As of August 30, 1999, your policy offers 30 investment
Portfolios, plus a Guaranteed Interest Account. The prospectus or supplement you
received dated May 1, 1999 describes the 26 investment portfolios that were
available on that date. The four new Portfolios that will be available to you
beginning August 30, 1999, are listed in the table below.

In addition to the other charges we make under your policy, you also bear your
proportionate share of all fees and expenses paid by a Portfolio that
corresponds to any variable investment option (Fund) you are using. The tables
below show the fees and expenses estimated to be paid by each new Portfolio for
the year ended December 31, 1999. These fees and expenses are reflected in the
Portfolio's net asset value each day. Therefore, they reduce the investment
return of the Portfolio and of the related variable investment option. Actual
fees and expenses are likely to fluctuate from year to year. All figures are
expressed as an annual percentage of each Portfolio's daily average net assets.

This information supplements the fee and expense information contained in your
May 1, 1999 prospectus or supplement.

(1)  Based on annualized estimates for 1999. Portfolios listed will commence operations on August 30, 1999. The EQ
     Advisors Trust's manager has entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement with respect to each Portfolio under
     which it has agreed to waive or reduce its fees and to assume other expenses of each of the Portfolios, if
     necessary, in an amount that limits each Portfolio's Total Annual Expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes,
     brokerage commissions, capitalized expenditures, extraordinary expenses and 12b-1 fees) to not more than the
     amounts specified above as Net Total Annual Expenses. See the EQ Advisors Trust prospectus for more information.

NAME CHANGES. The Equitable Companies Incorporated is planning to change its
name in September 1999 to "AXA Financial, Inc." Equitable Life is a subsidiary
of The Equitable Companies Incorporated. Also, EQ Financial Consultants, Inc.,
currently a subsidiary of Equitable Life, will become AXA Advisors, LLC and will
be an indirect subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc.

TRUST MANAGEMENT. In September 1999, following state regulatory approvals,
Equitable Life will become the manager of EQ Advisors Trust. Currently, EQ
Financial Consultants, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable Life, is the
manager of EQ Advisors Trust. Equitable Life will take over all of EQ Financial
Consultants' rights and responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

ASSET REBALANCING SERVICE. You may wish us to periodically redistribute the
amounts you have in our variable investment options (Funds) so that the relative
amount of your account value in each variable option is restored to an asset
allocation that you select. You can accomplish this automatically through our
asset rebalancing service. The rebalancing may be on a onetime basis or at
quarterly, semiannual, or annual intervals.

You may specify asset allocation percentages for up to eight variable investment
options. The allocation percentage you specify for each option selected must be
at least 5% (whole percentage only) of the total value you hold under the
variable investment options, and the sum of the percentages must equal 100%. You
may not elect the asset rebalancing service if you already participate in the
dollar cost averaging service (also referred to as the "automatic transfer
service").

You may request the asset rebalancing service at any time. You may change the
allocation instructions or discontinue participation in the asset rebalancing
service at any time.

YEAR 2000 PROGRESS. Equitable Life relies upon various computer systems in order
to administer your policy and operate the policy's investment options. Some of
these systems belong to service providers who are not affiliated with Equitable
Life.

In 1995, Equitable Life began addressing the question of whether its computer
systems would recognize the year 2000 before, on or after January 1, 2000, and
Equitable Life has identified those of its systems critical to business
operations that were not year 2000 compliant. Equitable Life has completed the
work of modifying or replacing non-compliant systems and has confirmed, through
testing, that its systems are year 2000 compliant. Equitable Life has contacted
third-party vendors and service providers to seek confirmation that they are
acting to address the year 2000 issue with the goal of avoiding any material
adverse effect on services provided to policyowners and on operations of the
investment options under Equitable Life policies. All third-party vendors and
service providers considered critical to Equitable Life's business have provided
us confirmation of their year 2000 compliance or a satisfactory plan for
compliance. With respect to vendors and service providers considered
non-critical, we believe that we are on schedule for substantially all such
vendors and service providers to be confirmed by September 30, 1999 as year 2000
compliant or the subject of a satisfactory plan for compliance. If such
confirmation is not received by September 30, 1999, the vendor or service
provider will be replaced, eliminated or be the subject of contingency plans.
Additionally, Equitable Life has supplemented its existing business continuity
and disaster recovery plans to cover certain categories of contingencies that
could arise as a result of year 2000 related failures.

                                                                               3
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


There are many risks associated with year 2000 issues, including the risk that
Equitable Life's computer systems will not operate as intended. Additionally,
there can be no assurance that the systems of third parties will be year 2000
compliant. Any significant unresolved difficulty related to the year 2000
compliance initiatives could result in an interruption in, or a failure of,
normal business operations and, accordingly, could have a material adverse
effect on our ability to administer your policy and operate the investment
options.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the foregoing year 2000 discussion is a
"Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" within the meaning of The Year 2000 Information
and Readiness Disclosure Act (P.L. 105-271) (1998).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 1999

1.  General

    Effective January 1, 1997 Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company
    ("Equitable Variable Life") was merged into The Equitable Life Assurance
    Society of the United States ("Equitable Life"). From January 1, 1997,
    Equitable Life is liable in place of Equitable Variable Life for the
    liabilities and obligations of Equitable Variable Life, including
    liabilities under policies and contracts issued by Equitable Variable Life,
    and all of Equitable Variable Life's assets became assets of Equitable Life.
    The merger had no effect on the net assets of the Separate Account
    attributable to contractowners. Alliance Capital Management L.P., an
    indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Equitable Life, manages The Hudson
    River Trust (HR Trust) and is investment adviser for all of the investment
    funds of HR Trust. EQ Financial Consultants, Inc. ("EQFC"), and Equitable
    Distributors Inc. ("EDI") are wholly owned subsidiaries of Equitable Life.
    EQFC manages the EQ Advisors Trust (EQ Trust) and has overall responsibility
    for general management and administration of EQ Trust.

    Equitable Life Separate Account FP (the Account) is organized as a unit
    investment trust, a type of investment company, and is registered with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
    The Account consists of twenty-six investment funds: the Alliance Money
    Market Fund, the Alliance Intermediate Government Securities Fund, the
    Alliance Quality Bond Fund, the Alliance High Yield Fund, T. Rowe Price
    Equity Income Fund, the EQ/Putnam Growth and Income Value Fund, Alliance
    Growth & Income Fund, the Alliance Equity Index Fund, the Merrill Lynch
    Basic Value Equity Fund, the Alliance Common Stock Fund, the MFS Research
    Fund, MFS Growth with Income Fund, EQ/Alliance Premier Growth Fund, the
    Alliance Global Fund, the Alliance International Fund, the T. Rowe Price
    International Stock Fund, the Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Equity Fund,
    the Alliance Aggressive Stock Fund, the Warburg Pincus Small Company Value
    Fund, the Alliance Small Cap Growth Fund, MFS Emerging Growth Companies
    Fund, the Alliance Conservative Investors Fund, the EQ/Putnam Balanced Fund,
    the Alliance Balanced Fund, the Alliance Growth Investors Fund, and the
    Merrill Lynch World Strategy Fund ("the Funds"). The assets in each fund are
    invested in shares of a corresponding portfolio (Portfolio) of a mutual
    fund, Class 1A or 1B shares of HR Trust or Class 1B shares of EQ Trust
    (collectively, the "Trusts"). Class 1A and 1B shares are offered by the
    Trust at net asset value. Both classes of shares are subject to fees for
    investment management and advisory services and other Trust expenses. Class
    1A shares are not subject to distribution fees imposed pursuant to a
    distribution plan. Class 1B shares are subject to distribution fees imposed
    under a distribution plan (herein the "Rule 12b-1 Plans") adopted in 1997
    pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Rule 12b-1 Plans
    provide that the Trusts, on behalf of each Fund, may charge annually up to
    0.25% of the average daily net assets of a Fund attributable to its Class 1B
    shares in respect of activities primarily intended to result in the sale of
    the Class 1B shares. These fees are reflected in the net asset value of the
    shares. The Trusts are open-ended, diversified management investment
    companies that invest separate account assets of insurance companies. Each
    Portfolio has separate investment objectives.

    EQFC and EDI earn fees from both Trusts under distribution agreements held
    with the Trusts. EQFC also earns fees under an investment management
    agreement with the EQ Trust. Alliance earns fees under an investment
    advisory agreement with the HR Trust.

     The Account supports the operations of Incentive Life, Incentive Life 2000,

     Incentive Life Plus(SM), IL Protector(SM) and IL COLI, flexible premium
     variable life insurance policies, Champion 2000, modified premium variable
     whole life insurance policies; Survivorship 2000, Survivorship Incentive
     Life, flexible premium joint survivorship variable life insurance policies;
     and SP-Flex, variable life insurance policies with additional premium
     option (collectively, the "Policies"). The Incentive Life 2000, Champion
     2000 and Survivorship 2000 policies are herein referred to as the "Series
     2000 Policies." Incentive Life Plus(SM) policies offered with a prospectus
     dated on or after September 15, 1995, are referred to as Incentive Life
     PlusSM Second Series. Incentive Life Plus policies issued with a prior
     prospectus are referred to as Incentive Life Plus Original Series. All
     Policies are issued by Equitable Life. The assets of the Account are the
     property of Equitable Life. However, the portion of the Account's assets
     attributable to the Policies will not be chargeable with liabilities
     arising out of any other business Equitable Life may conduct.

    Receivable/payable for policy-related transactions represent amount due
    to/from General Account predominately related to premiums, surrenders and
    death benefits.

    Policyowners may allocate amounts in their individual accounts to the Funds
    of the Account and/or (except for SP-Flex policies) to the guaranteed
    interest account of Equitable Life's General Account. Net transfers to
    (from) the guaranteed interest account of the General Account and other
    Separate Accounts of $142,374,638 for the six months ended 1999 are included
    in Net Transfers among Funds. The net assets of any Fund of the Account may
    not be less than the aggregate of the policyowners' accounts allocated to
    that Fund. Additional assets are set aside in Equitable Life's General
    Account to provide for (1) the unearned portion of the monthly charges for
    mortality costs, and (2) other policy benefits, as required under the state
    insurance law.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

    The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with
    generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of
    financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
    estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
    liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
    of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
    expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
    estimates.

    Investments are made in shares of the Trusts and are valued at the net asset
    values per share of the respective Portfolios. The net asset value is
    determined by the Trusts using the market or fair value of the underlying
    assets of the Portfolio less liabilities.

    Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividends are
    recorded by the Trusts in the fourth quarter on the ex-dividend date.
    Dividend and capital gain distributions are automatically reinvested on the
    ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses include gains and losses on
    redemptions of the Trust's shares (determined on the identified cost basis)
    and Trust distributions representing the net realized gains on Trust
    investment transactions are distributed by the Trust at the end of each
    year.

     The operations of the Account are included in the consolidated federal
     income tax return of Equitable Life. Under the provisions of the Policies,
     Equitable Life has the right to charge the Account for federal income tax
     attributable to the Account. No charge is currently being made against the
     Account for such tax since, under current tax law, Equitable Life pays no
     tax on investment income and capital gains reflected in variable life
     insurance policy reserves. However, Equitable Life retains the right to
     charge for any federal income tax incurred which is attributable to the
     Account if the law is changed. Charges for state and local taxes, if any,
     attributable to the Account also may be made.

3.  Asset Charges

    Under the Policies, Equitable Life assumes mortality and expense risks and,
    to cover these risks, charges the daily net assets of the Account currently
    at annual rates of:

    Before amounts are remitted to the Account for Incentive Life, Incentive
    Life Plus, IL COLI, Survivorship Incentive Life, and the Series 2000
    Policies, Equitable Life deducts a charge for taxes and either an initial
    policy fee (Incentive Life) or a premium sales charge (Incentive Life Plus,
    Survivorship Incentive Life, Incentive Life sales 1999 and after, and Series
    2000 Policies) from premiums. Under SP-Flex, the entire initial premium is
    allocated to the Account. Before any additional premiums under SP-Flex are
    allocated to the Account, however, an administrative charge is deducted.

    The amounts attributable to Incentive Life, Incentive Life Plus, IL
    Protector, IL COLI, and the Series 2000 policyowners' accounts are assessed
    monthly by Equitable Life for cost of insurance and administrative charges.
    These charges are withdrawn from the policyowner accounts along with amounts
    for additional benefits. Under the Policies, amounts for certain
    policy-related transactions (such as policy loans and surrenders) are
    transferred out of the Separate Account.

    Included in the Withdrawals and Administrative Charges line of the Statement
    of Changes in Net Assets are certain administrative charges which are
    deducted from the policyowners account value.

4.  Amounts Retained by Equitable Life in Separate Account FP


    The amount retained by Equitable Life (surplus) in the Account arises
    principally from (1) contributions from Equitable Life, (2) mortality and
    expense risk charges and administrative charges accumulated in the account,
    and (3) that portion, determined ratably, of the Account's investment
    results applicable to those assets in the Account in excess of the net
    assets for the Policies. Amounts retained by Equitable Life are not subject
    to charges for mortality and expense charges and administrative charges.


    Amounts retained by Equitable Life in the Account may be transferred at any
    time by Equitable Life to its General Account.


    The following table shows the surplus withdrawals by Equitable Life by
    investment fund:

5.  Distribution and Servicing Agreements

    Equitable Life has entered into Distribution and Servicing Agreements with
    EQFC, an affiliate of Equitable Life, and EDI, whereby registered
    representatives of EQFC, authorized as variable life insurance agents under
    applicable state insurance laws, sell the Policies. The registered
    representatives are compensated on a commission basis by Equitable Life.

6.  Investment Returns

    The tables on the following pages show the gross and net investment returns
    with respect to the Funds for the periods shown. The net return for each
    Fund is based upon beginning and ending net unit value for a policy and is
    not based on the average net assets in the Fund during such period. Gross
    return is equal to the total return earned by the underlying Trust
    investment which is after deduction of trust expense.

    The Separate Account rates of return attributable to Incentive Life,
    Incentive Life 2000, Incentive Life Plus Second Series and Champion 2000
    policyowners are different than those attributable to Survivorship 2000,
    Survivorship Incentive Life, Incentive Life Plus Original Series, IL
    Protector, IL COLI, and to SP-Flex policyowners because asset charges are
    deducted at different rates under each policy (see Note 3). The Separate
    Account rates of return attributable to Incentive Life sales 1999 and after
    and Survivorship Incentive Life for the Alliance Money Market Fund, Alliance
    Intermediate Government Securities Fund, Alliance Quality Bond Fund,
    Alliance High Yield Fund, Alliance Growth & Income Fund, Alliance Equity
    Index Fund, Alliance Common Stock Fund, Alliance Global Fund, Alliance
    International Fund, Alliance Aggressive Stock Fund, Alliance Small Cap
    Growth Fund, Alliance Conservative Investors Fund, Alliance Balanced Fund,
    Alliance Growth Investors Fund are different from other products in the same
    funds because distribution fees of .025% of the average daily assets of the
    Fund are deducted (see Note 1).

            THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


 1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The  accompanying   consolidated  financial  statements  are  prepared  in
      conformity  with GAAP which  requires  management  to make  estimates  and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date  of the
      financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues and expenses
      during  the  reporting   period.   These  statements  should  be  read  in
      conjunction with the consolidated  financial statements of the Company for
      the year ended  December 31, 1998.  The results of operations  for the six
      months ended June 30, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results
      to be expected for the full year.

      The terms  "second  quarter  1999" and "second  quarter 1998" refer to the
      three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  The terms "first
      half of 1999" and "first half of 1998" refer to the six months  ended June
      30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      Certain  reclassifications  have been made in the  amounts  presented  for
      prior periods to conform those periods with the current presentation.

 2)   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
      Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of
      FASB Statement No. 133," which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133
      to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
      The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001.

 3)   DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

      As part of its asset/liability management process, in second quarter 1999,
      management  initiated  a review  of the  matching  of  invested  assets to
      Insurance  product lines given their different  liability  characteristics
      and  liquidity  requirements.  As a  result  of  this  review,  management
      reallocated the current and  prospective  interests of the various product
      lines in the invested assets.  These asset  reallocations  and the related
      changes in investment yields by product line, in turn,  triggered a review
      of and revisions to the  estimated  future gross profits used to determine
      the amortization of DAC for universal life and  investment-type  products.
      The revisions to estimated  future gross profits  resulted in an after-tax
      writedown of DAC of $85.6 million (net of a Federal  income tax benefit of
      $46.1 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999.

</TABLE>

      For the  second  quarter  and first  half of 1999 and of 1998,  investment
      income  is shown  net of  investment  expenses  of $53.1  million,  $113.3
      million, $64.3 million and $144.6 million, respectively.

      As of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, fixed maturities  classified as
      available for sale had amortized costs of $19,438.4  million and $18,453.8
      million  and  fixed  maturities  in the  held to  maturity  portfolio  had
      estimated fair values of $128.9 million and $125.0 million,  respectively.
      Other equity investments include equity securities with carrying values of
      $140.5  million and $150.6  million  and costs of $39.6  million and $58.3
      million as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

      On  January  1,  1999,   investments  in  publicly-traded   common  equity
      securities  in  the  General   Account   portfolio   within  other  equity
      investments  amounting to $102.3 million were  transferred  from available
      for sale securities to trading  securities.  As a result of this transfer,
      unrealized investment gains of $83.3 million ($43.2 million net of related
      DAC and Federal income taxes) were recognized as realized investment gains
      in the  consolidated  statements  of earnings.  In the second  quarter and
      first half of 1999,  $27.8 million  ($16.1  million net of related DAC and
      Federal  income taxes) and $99.2 million ($53.2 million net of related DAC
      and  Federal  income  taxes) of  increases  in fair  value on the  trading
      portfolios  were recognized as net investment  income in the  consolidated
      statements of earnings.  These trading  securities had a carrying value of
      $118.2 million and costs of $3.8 million at June 30, 1999.

      For the  first  half of 1999 and of 1998,  proceeds  received  on sales of
      fixed  maturities  classified  as available  for sale amounted to $4,390.9
      million and $8,380.5 million,  respectively.  Gross gains of $40.0 million
      and $89.9 million and gross losses of $89.5 million and $47.0 million were
      realized  on  these  sales  for  the  first  half  of  1999  and of  1998,
      respectively.  Unrealized  investment  gains  related to fixed  maturities
      classified as available for sale  decreased by $773.9 million in the first
      half of 1999,  resulting  in a balance  of $234.0  million  of  unrealized
      investment losses at June 30, 1999.

      The Company's  quarterly  process for  evaluating the allowance for future
      losses applies the current  period's  results of  discontinued  operations
      against  the  allowance,  re-estimates  future  losses,  and  adjusts  the
      allowance,  if appropriate.  The evaluations performed as of June 30, 1999
      and 1998 resulted in management's  decision to strengthen the allowance by
      $10.1 million and release the allowance by $2.7 million for the six months
      ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  This  resulted in  after-tax
      losses of $6.6 million for the first half of 1999 and  after-tax  earnings
      of $1.8 million for the first half of 1998.

      Management  believes the  allowance  for future losses at June 30, 1999 is
      adequate to provide for all future losses;  however,  the determination of
      the  allowance  involves  numerous  estimates  and  subjective   judgments
      regarding the expected performance of Discontinued  Operations  Investment
      Assets.  There can be no assurance the losses provided for will not differ
      from the  losses  ultimately  realized.  To the extent  actual  results or
      future  projections of discontinued  operations  differ from  management's
      current  estimates  and  assumptions  underlying  the allowance for future
      losses,  the difference would be reflected in the consolidated  statements
      of earnings  in  discontinued  operations.  In  particular,  to the extent
      income,  sales proceeds and holding  periods for equity real estate differ
      from  management's  previous  assumptions,  periodic  adjustments  to  the
      allowance are likely to result.

      Investment  valuation allowances amounted to $4.5 million and $3.0 million
      on  mortgage  loans and $42.0  million  and $34.8  million on equity  real
      estate at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

      Impaired  mortgage loans along with the related  provision for losses were

</TABLE>

      During  the  first  half of 1999  and of  1998,  discontinued  operations'
      average recorded  investment in impaired  mortgage loans was $16.6 million
      and $121.5  million,  respectively.  Interest  income  recognized on these
      impaired mortgage loans totaled $.9 million and $4.0 million ($3.4 million
      recognized  on a cash  basis for the first half of 1998) in the first half
      of 1999 and 1998, respectively.

      Benefits and other  deductions  included $5.8 million and $15.9 million of
      interest  expense related to amounts  borrowed from continuing  operations
      for the second quarter and first half of 1998.

 8)   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

      Federal  income  taxes for interim  periods  have been  computed  using an
      estimated annual  effective tax rate. This rate is revised,  if necessary,
      at the end of each  successive  interim  period  to  reflect  the  current
      estimate of the annual effective tax rate.

 9)   RESTRUCTURING COSTS

      At June 30, 1999, the restructuring  liabilities included costs related to
      employee  termination and exit costs,  the termination of operating leases
      and  the  consolidation  of  insurance  operations'  service  centers  and
      amounted to $15.6 million.  The amounts paid during the first half of 1999
      totaled $8.7 million.

10)   LITIGATION

      There  have  been no new  material  legal  proceedings  and  no  material
      developments in specific litigations  previously reported in the Company's
      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31,
      1998, except as follows:

      In  Rickel,  the  complaint  was  dismissed  in April  1999 by the  Court.
      Plaintiff has filed an appeal.  Although there can be no assurance,  DLJ's
      management  does not believe that the ultimate  outcome of this litigation
      will  have a  material  adverse  effect  on DLJ's  consolidated  financial
      condition or DLJ's results of operations in any particular period.

      The Dayton Monetary Associates and Mid-American Waste Systems actions have
      been  settled  without a  material  adverse  effect on DLJ's  consolidated
      financial condition or results of operation in any particular period.

      In November 1998, three purported class actions (Gillet v. Goldman,  Sachs
      & Co.  et al.,  Prager  v.  Goldman,  Sachs & Co. et al.  and  Holzman  v.
      Goldman, Sachs & Co. et al.) were filed in the U.S. District Court for the
      Southern District of New York against more than 25 underwriters of initial
      public offering  securities,  including DLJSC. The complaints  allege that
      defendants conspired to fix the "fee" paid for underwriting initial public
      offering  securities by setting the underwriters'  discount or "spread" at
      7%, in violation of the federal antitrust laws. The complaints seek treble
      damages  in an  unspecified  amount  and  injunctive  relief  as  well  as
      attorneys'  fees and costs.  On March 15,  1999,  the  plaintiffs  filed a
      Consolidated  Amended  Complaint  captioned  In  re  Public  Offering  Fee
      Antitrust Litigation. A motion by all defendants to dismiss the complaints
      on several grounds is pending.  Separately, the U.S. Department of Justice
      has  issued a Civil  Investigative  Demand to several  investment  banking
      firms,  including  DLJSC,  seeking  documents and information  relating to
      "alleged"  price-fixing  with respect to  underwriting  spreads in initial
      public offerings. The government has not made any charges against DLJSC or
      the other investment  banking firms. DLJSC is cooperating with the Justice
      Department  in providing the  requested  information  and believes that no
      violation  of  law  by  DLJSC  has  occurred.  Although  there  can  be no
      assurance,  DLJ's management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of
      these matters will have a material  adverse  effect on DLJ's  consolidated
      financial condition. Based upon the information currently available to it,
      DLJ's  management  cannot predict whether or not these matters will have a
      material  adverse  effect on DLJ's results of operations in any particular
      period.

      In addition to the matters  previously  reported and the matters described
      above,  Equitable Life and its  subsidiaries  and DLJ and its subsidiaries
      are involved in various legal actions and  proceedings in connection  with
      their businesses. Some of the actions and proceedings have been brought on
      behalf of  various  alleged  classes  of  claimants  and  certain of these
      claimants seek damages of unspecified amounts.  While the ultimate outcome
      of such matters  cannot be  predicted  with  certainty,  in the opinion of
      management no such matter is likely to have a material  adverse  effect on
      the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States
1290 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10104

Dear Sirs:

      This opinion is furnished in connection with the filing of a Registration
Statement on Form S-6, File No. 333-17671 ("Registration Statement") of Separate
Account FP ("Separate Account FP") of The Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States ("Equitable"). The Registration Statement covers an indefinite
number of units of interest in Separate Account FP ("Units") funding Champion
2000 (policy form no. 90-400), individual modified premium variable whole life
insurance policies ("Policies") issued by The Equitable Life Assurance Society
of the United States ("Equitable"). Although the Policies are no longer being
offered for sale, Equitable will continue to collect premiums under the
Policies. Net premiums received under the Policies are allocated by Equitable to
Separate Account FP to the extent directed by owners of the Policies. Net
premiums under other Equitable variable life insurance policies will also be
allocated to Separate Account FP.

      I have examined all such corporate records of Equitable and such other
documents and laws as I consider appropriate as a basis for the opinion
hereinafter expressed. On the basis of such examination, it is my opinion that:

      1. Equitable is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under
the laws of the State of New York.

      2. Separate Account FP has been duly established by Equitable pursuant to
the laws of the State of New York, under which income, gains and losses, whether
or not realized, from assets allocated to Separate Account FP, are to be, in
accordance with the Policies, credited to or charged against Separate Account FP
without regard to other income, gains or losses of Equitable.

      3. Assets allocated to Separate Account FP will be owned by Equitable;
Equitable will not be a trustee with respect thereto. The Policies provide that
the portion of the assets of Separate Account FP equal to the reserves and other
Policy liabilities with respect to Separate Account FP will not be chargeable
with liabilities arising out of any other business Equitable may conduct.
Equitable reserves the right to transfer assets of Separate Account FP in excess
of such reserves and other Policy liabilities to the general account of
Equitable.

      4. The Policies (including any Units duly credited thereunder) have been
duly authorized and constitute validly issued and binding obligations of
Equitable in accordance with their terms.

      I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                                  Very truly yours,


                                                  /s/ William Schor
