Re: IL Annuity and Insurance Company
IL Annuity and Insurance Company Separate Account I
Post-Effective Amendment No. 5
File No. 33-89028
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of IL Annuity and Insurance Company (the "Company") and IL Annuity
and Insurance Company Separate Account 1 (the "Account"), we are filing a
certification pursuant to paragraph (j) of Rule 497 under the Securities Act of
1933. In this regard, we certify that the form of prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information ("SAI") for certain deferred variable annuity contracts
offered by the Company through the Account otherwise required to be filed under
paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from the form of prospectus
and SAI contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 to the Form N-4
registration statement for the Account (the "Amendment"). The Amendment was
filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8,
1997, via EDGARLINK.
Sincerely,
/s/ Teresa E. Kofodimos
Teresa E. Kofodimos
Attorney
