THE TRAVELERS VARIABLE PRODUCT SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
INVESTMENT ADVISORY COMMENTARY AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1995




FINANCIAL MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Financial markets had a great year in 1995 with the Standard & Poors 500 Stock
Index having its best year since 1958 (+37.6%) and the Lehman
Government/Corporate Bond Index having its best performance since 1985
(+19.2%).  Beyond Wall Street, however, signs of economic stress are becoming
apparent.  Consumer delinquencies and defaults are increasing.  A number of
corporate defaults have already occurred, causing some negative fallout in the
high yield bond market.  December retail sales came in even below already
pessimistic expectations.  Cyclical industries such as paper, steel, and autos
are starting to see price declines, closing plants and laying off workers.  In
Washington, many government workers are on furlough as the two parties debate
how much (not whether or not) the Federal deficit will be reduced.  Against
this backdrop, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") dropped short-term interest
rates 25 basis points on December 19th, its first cut since July, 1995.

Looking towards 1996, the slowdown in economic growth combined with few sources
of upside surprises make lower money market rates our most confident forecast.
Current economic weakness will keep the Fed in an easing mode even if budget
talks remain in a stalemate. Theoretical policy rules for determining Federal
Funds targets argue that short-term interest rates should be between 4% and 5%,
not their current 5.5%.  Unlike 1993, when growth had been slow for several
years, there is no pent-up demand for housing, autos, or even capital goods
that can cause an upside surprise in economic growth.  The key question for the
bond market is whether slow economic growth causes short rates to go
significantly below 5%.  We think they will because the economy continues to
weaken and any backup in rates caused by the budget negotiations in Washington
will further weaken the economy.  We are focusing on intermediate maturities
because the yield curve is likely to steepen.  We also continue to be
comfortable with an overweighting in corporate issues, although we need to be
diligent to protect against credit surprises.  We also continue to think that
mortgaged-backed securities are cheap and have maintained our overweighting in
that area.

In the stock market, cyclical issues led by the railroad, aluminum, machinery,
and semiconductor groups rallied early in the third quarter on strong earnings
momentum, rising analyst estimates, and expectations for a rebound in economic
growth.  Mergers in the banking, utility, and media industries also gave an
optimistic tone to the market.  However by early September, investors turned
less optimistic about prospects for economic growth, earnings momentum, and
profit margins in late 1995 and 1996.  During the fourth quarter, investors
continued to rotate out of cyclical and into defensive groups, such as drugs,
food, and beverages, which were expected to produce the best relative earnings
and gains in 1996.  In the energy sector, rising prices for oil and natural
gas, as well as attractive relative yields, supported higher valuations.
Technology stocks declined dramatically on signs of weakening demand for
personal computers and softer prices for semiconductors and other PC
components.

The performance of the stock market in 1996 will be driven by corporate
earnings.  The impetus for much of last year's advance to new record highs was
generated by positive earnings surprises.  The weaker economic environment that
exists now makes it unlikely that the stock market will repeat its performance.
Generally, the U.S. stock market is fairly valued given the current level of
interest rates and should be able to muddle through with a "normal" 10% year as
long as we avoid a recession.  If the economy does worsen, the extent of the
equity market decline will be a function of how quickly companies can adjust
their cost structure to changes in revenues.  Judged by the ability of most
companies to sustain earnings growth even in the face of weakening demand in
1995, we think that the most negative "bears" on the outlook for the stock
market are too pessimistic, especially given the valuation support that will be
provided by lower interest rates.

                                 STOCK ACCOUNT
                             FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES


For the twelve months ending December 31, 1995, the Travelers Growth and Income
Stock Account achieved a total return of 37.7% before fees and expenses,
slightly outperforming the S&P 500 return of 37.6%.  Net of fees and expenses,
the portfolio's total return of 35.4% for the same period was well ahead of the
31.2% average total return for variable annuity stock accounts in the Lipper
Growth & Income category.

During the second half of 1995, the strongest contributions to relative
performance were achieved in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and
finance sectors.  In the consumer discretionary sector, performance was
bolstered in particular by our holdings in Nike (+66%) and Safeway (+36%).  In
the consumer staples sector, the portfolio benefited from overweighted
positions in PepsiCo (+24%), Philip Morris (+21%) and Ralston-Purina (+21%).
Stock selection in the financial sector also contributed positively, through
holdings in NationsBank (+29%) and Chase Manhattan Bank (+27%).  On the other
hand, performance in the technology sector was somewhat disappointing,
penalized by our holdings in Silicon Graphics (-32%), which experienced slower
than expected sales growth because of product transition problems, and by our
exposure to the weak semiconductor group, including Texas Instruments (-23%)
and Cypress Semiconductor (-24%).

Looking ahead, in light of the equity market's record-setting advance in 1995
and signs of an impending economic slowdown, we have placed increased emphasis
on diversifying our stock holdings, especially within sectors that are likely
to exhibit above-average cyclical earnings volatility.  In the technology
sector, we have focused on stocks that are likely to maintain positive earnings
visibility in 1996, including 3Com in the enterprise networking group and
Oracle Systems in the software group.  In the health care sector, we have
emphasized Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic in the medical devices group.  In
the consumer discretionary sector, our major overweights include Nike and
Safeway.  In the finance sector, we are emphasizing Green Tree Financial,
Citicorp and NationsBank.

This is a comparison of The Travelers Growth and Income Stock Account versus
Lipper Analytical Services' variable annuity composite index, which provides
the average performance of variable annuity funds with similar objectives as of
December 31, 1995.  Lipper Analytical Services is a leading independent
Variable Insurance Product Performance Analysis Service.  The performance of
the composite is net of all asset based fees such as mortality and expense
charges and portfolio management fees.  Performance reflects the charges
associated with Universal Annuity, which became available on May 16, 1983.
Contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983, have different contract charges that
result in different performance than presented above.

Universal Annuity fund performance information is net of: 1) the 1.25% annual
mortality and expense risk charge, and 2) portfolio management fees.  The
deduction of the $15 semi-annual administrative charge and the contingent
deferred sales charge (5% maximum) is not reflected.  The deduction of those
charges would reduce any percentage increase or make greater any percentage
decrease.  Performance data quoted represents past performance.  Investment
return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an
investor's units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.

The following is the performance data required by SEC rules governing uniform
performance reporting: one year 30.08%, five year 12.20% and ten year 10.75%.
This performance is based on a $1,000 hypothetical investment and reflects
deductions of all fees and charges including the semi-annual administrative
charge and deferred sales charge.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The Travelers Growth and Income Stock Account for Variable Annuities
    ("Account GIS") is a separate account of The Travelers Insurance Company
    ("The Travelers"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group
    Inc., and is available for funding certain variable annuity contracts issued
    by The Travelers.  Account GIS is registered under the Investment Company
    Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment
    company.
        
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
    followed by Account GIS in the preparation of its financial statements.
        
    SECURITY VALUATION.  Investments in securities traded on a national
    securities exchange are valued at the last-reported sale price as of the
    close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of
    the year; securities traded on the over-the-counter market and listed
    securities with no reported sales are valued at the mean between the last
    reported bid and asked prices or on the basis of quotations received from a
    reputable broker or other recognized source.
        
    When market quotations are not considered to be readily available for
    long-term corporate bonds and notes, such investments are generally stated
    at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. 
    These valuations are determined for normal institutional-size trading units
    of such securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable
    securities and various relationships between securities which are generally
    recognized by institutional traders.  Securities, including restricted
    securities, for which pricing services are not readily available are valued
    by management at prices which it deems in good faith to be fair.
        
    Short-term investments for which a quoted market price is available are
    valued at market.  Short-term investments for which there is no reliable
    quoted market price are valued by computing a market value based upon
    quotations from dealers or issuers for securities of a similar type, quality
    and maturity.
        
    FUTURES CONTRACTS.  Account GIS may use stock index futures contracts as a
    substitute for the purchase or sale of individual securities.  When Account
    GIS enters into a futures contract, it agrees to buy or sell a specified
    index of stocks at a future time for a fixed price, unless the contract is
    closed prior to expiration.  Account GIS is obligated to deposit with a
    broker an "initial margin" equivalent to a percentage of the face, or
    notional value of the contract.
        
    It is Account GIS's practice to hold cash and cash equivalents in an amount
    at least equal to the notional value of outstanding purchased futures
    contracts, less the initial margin.  Cash and cash equivalents include cash
    on hand, securities segregated under federal and brokerage regulations, and
    short-term highly liquid investments with maturities generally three months
    or less when purchased.  Generally, futures contracts are closed prior to
    expiration.
        
    Futures contracts purchased by Account GIS are priced and settled daily;
    accordingly, changes in daily prices are recorded as realized gains or
    losses and no asset is recorded in the Statement of Investments.  However,
    when Account GIS holds open futures contracts, it assumes a market risk
    generally equivalent to the underlying market risk of change in the value of
    the specified indexes associated with the futures contract.
        
    OPTIONS.  Account GIS may purchase index or individual equity put or call
    options, thereby obtaining the right to sell or buy a fixed number of shares
    of the underlying asset at the stated price on or before the stated
    expiration date.  Account GIS may sell the options before expiration. 
    Options held by Account GIS are listed on either national securities
    exchanges or on over-the-counter markets, and are short-term contracts with
    a duration of less than nine months.  The market value of the options will
    be the latest sale price as of the close of business of the New York Stock
    Exchange, or in the absence of such sale, the latest bid quotation.

    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  When Account GIS enters into a repurchase agreement
    (a purchase of securities whereby the seller agrees to repurchase the
    securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price), the repurchase price
    of the securities will generally equal the amount paid by Account GIS plus a
    negotiated interest amount. The seller under the repurchase agreement will
    be required to provide to Account GIS securities (collateral) whose market
    value, including accrued interest, will be at least equal to 102% of the
    repurchase price.  Account GIS monitors the value of collateral on a daily
    basis.  Repurchase agreements will be limited to transactions with national
    banks and reporting broker dealers believed to present minimal credit
    risks.  Account GIS's custodian will take actual or constructive receipt
    of all securities underlying repurchase agreements until such agreements
    expire.
        
    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.  The operations of Account GIS form a part of the
    total operations of The Travelers and are not taxed separately.  The
    Travelers is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue
    Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Under existing federal income tax
    law, no taxes are payable on the investment income and capital gains of
    Account GIS.  Account GIS is not taxed as a "regulated investment company"
    under Subchapter M of the Code.
        
    OTHER.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
    disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
    statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
    reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
        
    Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Dividend income
    is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded on the
    accrual basis.
        
2.  INVESTMENTS

    Purchases and sales of securities other than short-term investments
    aggregated $362,287,474 and $348,166,551 respectively, for the year ended
    December 31, 1995.  Realized gains and losses from security transactions are
    reported on an identified cost basis.
        
    At December 31, 1995, Account GIS held 6 open S&P 500 Stock Index futures
    contracts with a maturity date of March 15, 1996.  The underlying face
    value, or notional value, of these contracts at December 31, 1995, amounted
    to $1,855,350.  In connection with these contracts, short-term investments
    with a par value of $200,000 had been pledged as margin deposits.
        
    Net realized gains (losses) resulting from futures contracts were $2,884,399
    and ($190,085) for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
    These gains (losses) are included in the net realized gain from investment
    security transactions on both the Statement of Operations and the Statement
    of Changes in Net Assets.  The cash settlement for December 31, 1995 is
    shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable for
    variation on futures margin.
        
3.  CONTRACT CHARGES

    Investment management and advisory fees are calculated daily at an annual
    rate of 0.45% of Account GIS's average net assets.  These fees are paid to
    The Travelers Investment Management Company, an indirect wholly owned
    subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc.
        
    Insurance charges are paid to The Travelers for the mortality and expense
    risks assumed by The Travelers.  On contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983,
    these charges are equivalent to 1.0017% of the average net assets of Account
    GIS on an annual basis.  On contracts issued on or after May 16, 1983, the
    charges for mortality and expense risks are equivalent to 1.25% of the
    average net assets of Account GIS on an annual basis.  Additionally, for
    certain contracts in the accumulation phase, a semi-annual charge of $15
    (prorated for partial periods) is deducted from participant account balances
    and paid to The Travelers to cover administrative charges.
        
    On contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983, The Travelers retained from
    Account GIS sales charges of $40,106 and $54,101 for the years ended
    December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Travelers generally assesses
    a 5% contingent deferred sales charge if a participant's purchase payment is
    surrendered within five years of its payment date.  Contract surrender
    payments are stated prior to the deduction of $189,214 and $146,421 of
    contingent deferred sales charges for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
    1994, respectively.

    and 1994, respectively.  Transactions with this affiliate during the years
    ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, were comprised of participant purchase
    payments of approximately $427,000 and $356,000 and contract surrenders of
    approximately $560,000 and $653,000, respectively.

NOTES

(A)  Non-income Producing Security.

(B)  At December 31, 1995, net unrealized appreciation for all securities was
     $84,623,392. This consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for
     all securities in which there was an excess of market value over cost of
     $90,547,890 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities
     in which there was an excess of cost over market value of $5,924,498.

(C)  Par value of $200,000 pledged to cover margin deposits on futures
     contracts.

(D)  As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, it is
     Account GIS's practice to hold cash and cash equivalents (including
     short-term investments) at least equal to the underlying face value, or
     notional value, of outstanding purchased futures contracts, less the
     initial margin. Account GIS uses futures contracts as a substitute for
     holding individual securities.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Managers and Owners of Variable Annuity Contracts of
  The Travelers Growth and Income Stock Account for Variable Annuities:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Travelers Growth and Income Stock Account for Variable Annuities including the
statement of investments as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the per unit data for each
of the five years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and per
unit data are the responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and per unit data based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and per unit
data are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and per unit data referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Travelers Growth and Income Stock Account for Variable Annuities as of December
31, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in
its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the per
unit data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                              QUALITY BOND ACCOUNT
                             FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES


Bond markets rallied significantly in 1995 with yields falling 254 basis points
in the two year treasury to 193 for the thirty year.  The Federal Reserve Board
("Fed") punctuated this with their second cut in Funds to 5.50% in December.
In 1995, the fund had a gross return of 16.17% versus 15.31% for the Lehman
Intermediate Government/Corporate Index.  This quarter's outperformance in the
portfolio can be attributed to a slightly longer duration than the index and
item selection that avoided sectors that widened significantly.  Retailers (the
fund had no exposure here), for instance, were generally wider on continued
poor retail sales numbers and the potential for a bankruptcy filing by Kmart.

The curve exposure for the portfolio is generally neutral to our Lehman
benchmark except for a slight over-weighting in the five year area.  We also
maintain an over allocation to corporate product as we expect spreads to
slightly tighten in the first quarter as investors seek spread product.  An
effort has also been made to consolidate the portfolio's corporate positions to
enhance the liquidity and help improve performance going forward.

As the new year unfolds we expect the Fed to continue to reduce short term
rates as sluggish growth persists.  We will stay flat to slightly long our
benchmark until we perceive either economic rebound or inflationary pressures
developing.  Vigilance will be maintained with respect to corporates yet we
expect to maintain our long-run strategy to overweight this area.  At this
juncture we are emphasizing the media and utility sectors.

</TABLE>

This is a comparison of The Travelers Quality Bond Account versus Lipper
Analytical Services' variable annuity composite index, which provides the
average performance of variable annuity funds with similar objectives as of
December 31, 1995.  Lipper Analytical Services is a leading independent
Variable Insurance Product Performance Analysis Service.  The performance of
the composite is net of all asset based fees such as mortality and expense
charges and portfolio management fees.  Performance reflects the charges
associated with Universal Annuity, which became available on May 16, 1983.
Contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983, have different contract charges that
result in different performance than presented above.

Universal Annuity fund performance information is net of: 1) the 1.25% annual
mortality and expense risk charge, and 2) portfolio management fees.  The
deduction of the $15 semi-annual administrative charge and the contingent
deferred sales charge (5% maximum) is not reflected.  The deduction of those
charges would reduce any percentage increase or make greater any percentage
decrease.  Performance data quoted represents past performance.  Investment
return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an
investor's units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.

The following is the performance data required by SEC rules governing uniform
performance reporting:  one year 9.17%, five year 6.74% and ten year 7.19%.
This performance is based on a $1,000 hypothetical investment and reflects
deductions of all fees and charges including the semi-annual administrative
charge and deferred sales charge.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The Travelers Quality Bond Account for Variable Annuities ("Account QB") is
    a separate account of The Travelers Insurance Company ("The Travelers"), an
    indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc., and is available
    for funding certain variable annuity contracts issued by The Travelers. 
    Account QB is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as       
    amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company.
        
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
    followed by Account QB in the preparation of its financial statements.
        
    SECURITY VALUATION.  Investments in securities traded on a national
    securities exchange are valued at the last-reported sale price as of the
    close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of
    the year; securities traded on the over-the-counter market and listed
    securities with no reported sales are valued at the mean between the
    last-reported bid and asked prices or on the basis of quotations received
    from a reputable broker or other recognized source.
        
    When market quotations are not considered to be readily available for
    long-term corporate bonds and notes, such investments are generally stated
    at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. 
    These valuations are determined for normal institutional-size trading units
    of such securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable
    securities and various relationships between securities which are generally
    recognized by institutional traders.  Securities, including restricted
    securities, for which pricing services are not readily available, are valued
    by management at prices which it deems in good faith to be fair.
        
    Short-term investments for which a quoted market price is available are
    valued at market.  Short-term investments for which there is no reliable
    quoted market price are valued by computing a market value based upon
    quotations from dealers or issuers for securities of a similar type, quality
    and maturity.
        
    FUTURES CONTRACTS.  Account QB may use interest rate futures contracts as a
    substitute for the purchase or sale of individual securities.  When Account
    QB enters into a futures contract, it agrees to buy or sell specified debt
    securities at a future time for a fixed price, unless the contract is closed
    prior to expiration.  Account QB is obligated to deposit with a broker an
    "initial margin" equivalent to a percentage of the face, or notional value
    of the contract.
        
    It is Account QB's practice to hold cash and cash equivalents in an amount
    at least equal to the notional value of outstanding purchased futures
    contracts, less the initial margin.  Cash and cash equivalents include cash
    on hand, securities segregated under federal and brokerage regulations, and
    short-term highly liquid investments with maturities generally three months
    or less when purchased.  Generally, futures contracts are closed prior to
    expiration.
        
    Futures contracts purchased by Account QB are priced and settled daily;
    accordingly, changes in daily prices are recorded as realized gains or
    losses and no asset is recorded in the Statement of Investments.  However,
    when Account QB holds open futures contracts, it assumes a market risk
    generally equivalent to the underlying market risk of change in the value of
    the debt securities associated with the futures contract.
        
    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  When Account QB enters into a repurchase agreement
    (a purchase of securities whereby the seller agrees to repurchase the
    securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price), the repurchase price
    of the securities will generally equal the amount paid by Account QB plus a
    negotiated interest amount.  The seller under the repurchase agreement will
    be required to provide to Account QB securities (collateral) whose market
    value, including accrued interest, will be at least equal to 102% of the
    repurchase price. Account QB monitors the value of collateral on a daily
    basis.  Repurchase agreements will be limited to transactions with national
    banks and reporting broker dealers believed to present minimal credit 
    risks. Account QB's custodian will take actual or constructive receipt of 
    all securities underlying repurchase agreements until such agreements 
    expire.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.  The operations of Account QB form a part of the total
    operations of  The Travelers and are not taxed separately.  The Travelers is
    taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
    as amended (the "Code").  Under existing federal income tax law, no taxes
    are payable on the investment income and capital gains of Account QB. 
    Account QB is not taxed as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter
    M of the Code.
        
    OTHER.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
    disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
    statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
    reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
        
    Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Interest income
    is recorded on the accrual basis.
        
2.  INVESTMENTS

    Purchases and sales of securities other than short-term investments
    aggregated $226,088,270 and $214,619,503, respectively, for the year ended
    December 31, 1995.  Realized gains and losses from security transactions are
    reported on an identified cost basis.
        
    Net realized losses resulting from futures contracts were $132,050 for the
    year ended December 31, 1994.  These losses are included in the net realized
    loss from investment security transactions on the Statement of Changes in
    Net Assets.
        
3.  CONTRACT CHARGES

    Investment management and advisory fees are calculated daily at an annual
    rate of  0.3233% of Account QB's average net assets.  These fees are paid to
    Travelers Asset Management International Corporation, an indirect wholly
    owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc.
        
    Insurance charges are paid to The Travelers for the mortality and
    expense risks assumed by The Travelers.  On contracts issued prior to May
    16, 1983, these charges are equivalent to 1.0017% of the average net assets
    of Account QB on an annual basis.  On contracts issued on or after May 16,
    1983, the charges for mortality and expense risks are equivalent to 1.25% of
    the average net assets of Account QB on an annual basis.  Additionally, for
    certain contracts in the accumulation phase, a semi-annual charge of $15
    (prorated for partial periods and level of participation in other separate
    accounts of The Travelers) is deducted from participant account balances and
    paid to The Travelers to cover administrative charges.

    On contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983, The Travelers retained from
    Account QB sales charges of $20,292 and $30,136 for the years ended December
    31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Travelers generally assesses a 5%
    contingent deferred sales charge if a participant's purchase payment is
    surrendered within five years of its payment date.  Contract surrender
    payments are stated prior to the deduction of $108,615 and $67,230 of
    contingent deferred sales charges for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
    1994, respectively.

4.  NET ASSETS HELD BY AFFILIATE

    Approximately $755,000 and $722,000 of the net assets of Account QB were
    held on behalf of an affiliate of The Travelers as of December 31, 1995
    and 1994, respectively.  Transactions with this affiliate during the years
    ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, were comprised of participant purchase
    payments of approximately $17,000 and $50,000, and contract surrenders of
    approximately $86,000 and $115,000, respectively.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Managers and Owners of Variable Annuity Contracts of
  The Travelers Quality Bond Account for Variable Annuities:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Travelers Quality Bond Account for Variable Annuities including the statement
of investments as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and the per unit data for each of the five
years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and per unit data
are the responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and per unit data based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and per unit
data are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and per unit data referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Travelers Quality Bond Account for Variable Annuities as of December 31, 1995,
the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the per unit
data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                                 THE TRAVELERS
                              MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT
                             FOR VARIABLE ANNUITIES


At the outset of 1995, The Federal Reserve's economic theme was declining
inflation and moderate economic growth.  Despite no net change in The Federal
Reserve's policy there was a dramatic improvement in market sentiment.  The
steady flow of favorable economic data, shifted Federal Reserve policy nearly
180 degrees.  Fears of an overheating economy along with an aggressive Federal
Reserve tightening strategy turned into an easing of monetary policy due to
muted price pressures and subdued growth.  The Federal Reserve did manage to
stay on course with its policy of moderate growth and low inflation.  The
fourth quarter was marked by a 25 basis point reduction in the Federal funds
rate to 5.50%.  The Federal Reserve still has more latitude to lower short-term
rates, but the pace of easing will be relatively cautious.

Management's priority is diversification, protection of principal, and
liquidity.  Given this objective, we found 30 day maturities provided the best
returns for the Money Market account versus the 45 to 60 day alternatives.
Throughout 1995, the Money Market Account's asset size remained stable at
approximately $76 million with a slight decrease from $83 million at year-end
1994.  The average life of the portfolio assets increased slightly from 1994 to
26 days.

Election year 1996 and the possible re-appointment of the current Federal
Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan should provide the market with some
intangibles.  We do maintain that low inflation and moderate growth will be the
cornerstone for a stable and growing economy in 1996.

</TABLE>



This is a comparison of The Travelers Money Market Account versus Lipper
Analytical Services' variable annuity composite index, which provides the
average performance of variable annuity funds with similar objectives as of
December 31, 1995.  Lipper Analytical Services is a leading independent
Variable Insurance Product Performance Analysis Service.  The performance of
the composite is net of all asset based fees such as mortality and expense
charges and portfolio management fees.  Performance reflects the charges
associated with Universal Annuity, which became available on May 16, 1983.
Contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983, have different contract charges that
result in different performance than presented above.

Universal Annuity fund performance information is net of: 1) the 1.25% annual
mortality and expense risk charge, and 2) portfolio management fees.  The
deduction of the $15 semi-annual administrative charge and the contingent
deferred sales charge (5% maximum) is not reflected.  The deduction of those
charges would reduce any percentage increase or make greater any percentage
decrease.  Performance data quoted represents past performance.  Investment
return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an
investor's units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.  An investment in The Travelers Money Market Account is neither insured
nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

The following is the performance data required by SEC rules governing uniform
performance reporting:  one year -0.86%, five year 1.95% and ten year 4.44%.
This performance is based on a $1,000 hypothetical investment and reflects
deductions of all fees and charges including the semi-annual administrative
charge and deferred sales charge.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The Travelers Money Market Account for Variable Annuities ("Account MM") is
    a separate account of The Travelers Insurance Company ("The Travelers"), an
    indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc., and is available
    for funding certain variable annuity contracts issued by The Travelers. 
    Account MM is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
    amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company.
        
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
    followed by Account MM in the preparation of its financial statements.
        
    SECURITY VALUATION.  Short-term investments for which a quoted market price
    is available are valued at market.  Short-term investments for which there
    is no reliable quoted market price are valued by computing a market value
    based upon quotations from dealers or issuers for securities of a similar
    type, quality and maturity.
        
    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  When Account MM enters into a repurchase agreement
    (a purchase of securities whereby the seller agrees to repurchase the
    securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price), the repurchase price
    of the securities will generally equal the amount paid by Account MM plus a
    negotiated interest amount.  The seller under the repurchase agreement will
    be required to provide to Account MM securities (collateral) whose market
    value, including accrued interest, will be at least equal to 102% of the
    repurchase price. Account MM monitors the value of collateral on a daily
    basis.   Repurchase agreements will be limited to transactions with national
    banks and reporting broker dealers believed to present minimal credit risks.
    Account MM's custodian will take actual or constructive receipt of all
    securities underlying repurchase agreements until such agreements expire.
        
    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.   The operations of Account MM form a part of the
    total operations of  The Travelers and are not taxed separately.  The
    Travelers is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue
    Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Under existing federal income tax
    law, no taxes are payable on the investment income and capital gains of
    Account MM.  Account MM is not taxed as a "regulated investment company"
    under Subchapter M of the Code.
        
    OTHER.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
    accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
    disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
    statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
    reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
        
    Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Interest income
    is recorded on the accrual basis.
        
2.  CONTRACT CHARGES

    Investment management and advisory fees are calculated daily at an annual
    rate of  0.3233% of Account MM's net assets.  These fees are paid to
    Travelers Asset Management International Corporation, an indirect wholly
    owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc.
        
    Insurance charges are paid to The Travelers for the mortality and expense
    risks assumed by The Travelers.  On contracts issued prior to May 16, 1983,
    these charges are equivalent to 1.0017% of the average net assets of Account
    MM on an annual basis.  On contracts issued on or after May 16, 1983, the
    charges for mortality and expense risks are equivalent to 1.25% of the
    average net assets of Account MM on an annual basis.  Additionally, for
    certain contracts in the accumulation phase, a semi-annual charge of $15
    (prorated for partial periods) is deducted from participant account balances
    and paid to The Travelers to cover administrative charges.
        
    The Travelers assesses a 5% contingent deferred sales charge if a
    participant's purchase payment is surrendered within five years of its
    payment date. Contract surrender payments are stated prior to the deduction
    of $142,783 and $98,960 of contingent deferred sales charges for the years
    ended December, 31 1995 and 1994, respectively.

3.  NET ASSETS HELD BY AFFILIATE

    Approximately $1,816,000 and $485,000 of the net assets of Account MM were
    held on behalf of an affiliate of The Travelers as of December 31, 1995 and
    1994, respectively.  Transactions with this affiliate during the years ended
    December 31, 1995 and 1994, were comprised of contract surrenders of
    approximately $72,000 and $800,000, respectively.  Participant purchase
    payments were approximately $965,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Managers and Owners of Variable Annuity Contracts of
  The Travelers Money Market Account for Variable Annuities:


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The
Travelers Money Market Account for Variable Annuities including the statement
of investments as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and the per unit data for each of the five
years in the period then ended.  These financial statements and per unit data
are the responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and per unit data based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and per unit
data are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and per unit data referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Travelers Money Market Account for Variable Annuities as of December 31, 1995,
the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the per unit
data for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
