The purpose of this supplement is to modify certain information contained in
your prospectus dated May 1, 2000. The change made in this supplement relates to
the following section of your prospectus:
Tax Considerations, Tax Status of the Policy (page 55)
In the section regarding Restrictions on the extent to which you can direct the
investment of Account Values, please delete the second sentence and replace
with:
The U.S. Treasury Department stated in 1986 that it expected to issue
guidance clarifying those limits, but it has not yet done so. Thus, the
nature of the limits is currently uncertain. As a result, your right to
allocate Cash Values among the Funds may exceed those limits.
This Supplement should be retained with your Prospectus for future reference.
