Re: Registration Statement of Form S-6 for GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company
33 Act#: 333-37856
Accession# 0000950109-00-002343
Dear Commissioners:
On May 25, 2000, we filed a registration statement on Form S-6 for the GE Life &
Annuity Separate Account III. In doing so we inadvertently left off the delaying
amendment. Set forth below is the text that should be incorporated into the
registration statement filed on May 25, 2000.
The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such dates
as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant
shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this
Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance
with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the
Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the
Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (804) 484-7164.
