Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am writing this letter as Deputy General Counsel of American General
Retirement Services, and as Counsel to American General Annuity Insurance
Company, as the depositor of the Registrant and on behalf of the Registrant.
Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"),
Registrant has elected to file the certification set out below in lieu of
electronically filing definitive copies of the prospectus and statement of
additional information contained in its most recent amendment to its Form N-4
Registration Statement ("Amendment"), as required by Rule 497(c) under the 1933
Act and as provided by Rule 309(b) of Regulation S-T.
Registrant hereby certifies that:
(1) the form of prospectus and statement of additional information
that would have been filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497
under the 1933 Act following the filing of the Amendment would
not have been different from that contained in the Amendment,
and
(2) the Amendment, which is designated as Post-Effective Amendment
No. 1 under the 1933 Act and as Amendment No. 16 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, was filed electronically on
April 18, 2000.
Please direct any inquiry regarding the foregoing to the undersigned at
(713) 831-1230.
Very truly yours,
