Changes to Variable Investment Options

   Effective November 9, 2007, the Special Value portfolio merged into the
Small Cap Value portfolio. As a result, you will not be able to allocate your
Policy Value or any Premium Payments to the variable investment option
corresponding to the underlying Special Value portfolio after November 9, 2007.
You should disregard any reference in the product prospectuses to the Special
Value portfolio.

If you need additional information, please contact your representative or
contact our Service Office at the address or telephone number on the back page
of your product prospectus.

You should read this supplement together with the prospectus for the contract
you purchase, and retain both for future reference.
