REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Managers and Owners of Variable
Annuity Contracts of The Travelers Timed
Aggressive Stock Account for Variable Annuities:
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements
and per unit data of The Travelers Timed Aggressive Stock
Account for Variable Annuities for the year ended December 31,
1996, we considered its internal control structure, including
procedures for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our
auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on
the financial statements and per unit data and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on the
internal control structure.
The management of The Travelers Timed Aggressive Stock
Account for Variable Annuities is responsible for establishing
and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of
internal control structure policies and procedures. Two of the
objectives of an internal control structure are to provide
management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or
disposition and that transactions are executed in accordance with
management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure,
errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also,
projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is
subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not
necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure
that might be material weaknesses under standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A
material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation
of the specific internal control structure elements does not reduce
to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in
amounts that would be material in relation to the financial
statements and per unit data being audited may occur and not be
detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions. However, we
noted no matters involving the internal control structure that we
consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above, as of
December 31, 1996.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management of The Travelers Timed Aggressive Stock Account
for Variable Annuities and the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
