In the "MANAGING YOUR ANNUITY" section of each prospectus, under the heading entitled "May I Change the Owner, Annuitant and

     This  Supplement  should be read and  retained  with the current  Prospectus  for your  annuity.  This  Supplement  is
     intended to update certain  information in the Prospectus for the variable  annuity you own, and is not intended to be
     a prospectus or offer for any other  variable  annuity listed here that you do not own. If you would like another copy
     of the current Prospectus, please contact us at 1-888-PRU-2888.


     We are issuing this supplement to set forth eight  additional  Advanced Series Trust portfolios that are being offered
     as new variable investment options under each of the above-referenced  products.  In addition,  we describe changes to
     the Annuity Date  provisions  and set forth a new name of the principal  underwriter  of the  Annuities.  We also make
     certain other changes, as indicated herein.




I.  NEW SUB-ACCOUNTS

Effective  November 19, 2007,  the  underlying  portfolios  listed below are being offered as new  Sub-accounts  under your
annuity.  In order to reflect these additions:

     In the section of each  Prospectus  entitled  "Summary  of Contract  Expenses",  sub-section  "Underlying  Mutual Fund
     Portfolio Annual Expenses", under the heading "Advanced Series Trust", the following portfolios have been added:

3 The AST Balanced Asset Allocation  Portfolio,  AST Capital Growth Asset  Allocation  Portfolio,  AST  Conservative  Asset
Allocation  Portfolio,  and the AST  Preservation  Asset Allocation  Portfolio (the "Dynamic Asset Allocation  Portfolios")
each  invest in other  investment  companies  (the  Acquired  Portfolios).  For  example,  each  Dynamic  Asset  Allocation
Portfolio  invests in shares of other portfolios of the Advanced Series Trust,  and some Portfolios  invest in other funds,
including  the Dryden  Core  Investment  Fund.  Investors  in a  Portfolio  indirectly  bear the fees and  expenses  of the
Acquired  Portfolios.  The  expenses  shown in the column  entitled  "Acquired  Portfolio  Fees and  Expenses"  represent a
weighted  average of the expense  ratios of the  Acquired  Portfolios  in which each  Dynamic  Asset  Allocation  Portfolio
invested  during the year ended  December 31, 2006.  The Dynamic Asset  Allocation  Portfolios  do not pay any  transaction
fees when they purchase or redeem  shares of the Acquired  Portfolios.  Where  "Acquired  Portfolio  Fees and Expenses" are
less than 0.01%,  such expenses are included in "Other  Expenses."  This may cause the Total Annual  Operating  Expenses to
differ from those set forth in the Financial Highlights tables in the prospectus for the Portfolios.
