Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for TIAA Separate Account VA-1
(Registration No. 33-79124)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
It is my opinion that the securities issued in accordance
with the captioned filing and which this Notice makes definite in
number were legally issued and non-assessable. The variable
annuity contracts contemplate but do not require the payment of
additional premiums. Therefore, they may not be deemed to be fully
paid.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Charles H. Stamm
