SUPPLEMENT DATED DECEMBER 14, 2000

The information in this Supplement updates and amends certain information       
contained in the Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information and Contract
Prospectus Summaries and replaces the Supplement dated August 21, 2000. You     
should read this Supplement along with the applicable Prospectus, Statement of  
Additional Information and Contract Prospectus Summary.                         

Effective November 17, 2000, Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company's         
("ALIAC") broker-dealer subsidiary, Aetna Investment Services, Inc. (which was  
subsequently converted to Aetna Investment Services, LLC) ("AIS"), became the   
principal underwriter for the securities sold under the prospectus. AIS, a      
Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the   
Securities and Exchange Commission. AIS is also a member of the National        
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Securities Investor Protection  
Corporation. AIS' principal office is located at 151 Farmington Avenue,         
Hartford, Connecticut 06156. ALIAC is no longer a registered broker-dealer.     

On December 13, 2000, ALIAC and Aetna Insurance Company of America ("AICA")     
became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). ING is a   
global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, banking and     
asset management. The terms of your contract will not be affected by this change
in ownership. In the future, you may begin to see the use of the ING lion logo  
on our printed materials.

ITEM 28.      INDEMNIFICATION                                                   

Florida Statutes chapter 607.0850 governs the indemnification of officers,      
directors, employees and agents of a Florida corporation. Section 607.0850(1)   
provides that a corporation may indemnify a person who is or was a party to a   
proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, 
employee or agent of the corporation (or in certain other defined circumstances)
against liability (defined as obligations to pay a judgment, settlement,        
penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to any employee    
benefit plan, and expenses actually and reasonably incurred with respect to the 
proceeding). Section 607.0850(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify a    
person who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the        
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason that the person is or  
was connected to the corporation as noted in subsection (1) against expenses and
amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of       
directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion,    
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
such proceeding, including any appeal. Indemnification under both subsection (1)
and (2) is subject to a determination that the person seeking indemnification   
has met the standard of conduct set forth in the applicable subsection. However,
pursuant to section 607.0850(3), to the extent that the person seeking          
indemnification has been successful in defense of any proceeding, claim or issue
referred to in subsection (1) or (2), that person shall be indemnified against  
expenses that he or she actually and reasonably incurred. Expenses incurred by  
an officer or director in defending any such proceeding may be paid in advance  
of the final disposition of the proceeding, provided that such person undertakes
to repay any such amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to 
indemnification pursuant to section 607.0850. Expenses incurred by other        
employees or agents may be advanced upon such terms and conditions deemed       
appropriate by the board of directors.                                          

Section 607.0850(4) provides that any indemnification under subsection (1) or   
(2), unless made pursuant to a determination by a court, shall be made only as  
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that that indemnification  
is proper in the circumstances because the party has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in subsection (1) or (2). Such determination may be made   
(a) by the disinterested directors, pursuant to section 607.0850(4)(a); (b) by a
committee duly designated by the board of directors, pursuant to section        
607.0850(4)(b); (c) by independent legal counsel, pursuant to section           
607.0850(4)(c); or (d) by the shareholders, pursuant to section 607.0850(4)(d). 
The reasonableness of expenses and authorization of indemnification shall be    
made in the same manner, except as otherwise required by section 607.0850(5).   

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of section 607.0850  
are not exclusive, and a corporation may make other or further provisions for   
the indemnification or advancement of expenses of parties identified in section 
607.0850(1), except as otherwise prohibited by section 607.0850(7).             
Indemnification and advancement of expenses may also be ordered by a court of   
competent jurisdiction, pursuant to section 607.0850(9). Section 607.0850(12)   
specifically authorizes a corporation to procure indemnification insurance on   
behalf of an individual who was a director, officer, employee or agent of the   
corporation. Consistent with this statute, Aetna Inc. has procured insurance    
from Lloyd's of London and several major United States excess insurers for its  
directors and officers and the directors and officers of its subsidiary,        
including the Depositor.

Registrant hereby undertakes:                                         

  (a) to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement on
   Form N-4 as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited
        financial statements in the registration statement are never more than
       sixteen months old for as long as payments under the variable annuity
contracts may be accepted;                                    

     (b) to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by
        a prospectus which is part of this registration statement on Form N-4,
a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of 
Additional Information; and                                   

  (c) to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial
       statements required to be made available under this Form N-4 promptly
upon written or oral request.                                 

     (d) The Company hereby represents that it is relying upon and complies with
 the provisions of Paragraphs (1) through (4) of the SEC Staff's
   No-Action Letter dated November 28, 1988 with respect to language
  covering withdrawal restrictions applicable to plans established
       pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, See American
       Counsel of Life Insurance; SEC No-Action Letter, [1988 WL 1235221 *13
(S.E.C.)].                                                    

   (e) Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
     Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
    persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
       otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
    Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
         public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
        In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
        (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
       by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
      successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
     such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
         securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
      of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
       submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
         such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
   Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (f) Aetna Insurance Company of America represents that the fees and charges
         deducted under the contracts covered by this registration statement, in
         the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the
expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the
insurance company.
