The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company

Separate Account A

Portfolio Director, Portfolio Director 2, Portfolio Director Plus

Fixed and Variable Deferred Annuity

SUPPLEMENT TO THE MAY 1, 2007 PROSPECTUS

Premium Enhancement Credit

Beginning August __, 2007, VALIC is offering a 2% and 4% premium enhancement credit ("Premium Enhancement") to a Participant meeting certain criteria as described below. The Premium Enhancement will be added to the Account Value as earnings, allocated to the Fixed and Variable Account Options in the same manner as the Participant's contributions or Eligible Deposits to the account.

Eligibility Criteria - 4% Premium Enhancement Credit

Participants

An "Eligible Participant" is a Participant employed in the K-12 market (educators and administrators and other employees eligible to participate in a 403(b) or 457 program in elementary and secondary schools) who opens a new 403(b) or 457 Portfolio Director account with VALIC. A "new" 403(b) or 457 account is an account opened between June 1 and December 31, 2007 that is the Participant's first annuity account on the VALIC Portfolio Director recordkeeping system.

Contributions

A Premium Enhancement of 4% will be paid on "First-Year" contributions made to the new account that are received and credited by VALIC for a period of one year beginning as of the date of the first contribution made to the new account in accordance with a salary reduction arrangement, on or after the endorsement effective date. A First-Year contribution does not include amounts rolled over or directly transferred to VALIC from another retirement contract or program, or to amounts attributable to employer contributions.

Contracts

This program is available only to certain 403(b) or 457 Portfolio Director accounts at this time. This does not include Contracts that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") or group Contracts that require permission or notice to offer this Premium Enhancement.

Eligibility Criteria - 2% Premium Enhancement Credit

Participants

An "Eligible Participant" is a Participant who opens a new 403(b) Portfolio Director account with VALIC. A "new" 403(b) account is an account opened between June 1, 2007 and July 31, 2008 that is the Participant's first annuity account on the VALIC Portfolio Director recordkeeping system.

Rollover Deposits

A Premium Enhancement of 2% will be paid following the receipt and crediting of Purchase Payments of $50,000 or more that are rolled over or transferred directly to VALIC from a non-VALIC retirement contract or program ("Eligible Deposit") on or after the endorsement effective date and between August 1, 2007 and July 31, 2008. We will total all such Eligible Deposits that we receive within a 90-day period in order to meet the $50,000 minimum requirement. An Eligible Deposit does not include a periodic Purchase Payment made to the Contract under a salary reduction arrangement; a Purchase Payment attributable to employer contributions; a transfer or exchange from any other VALIC product; or transfers from non-403(b) accounts. Eligibility for the Premium Enhancement will immediately end if an Eligible Participant takes a withdrawal from the Contract any time after we credit a Premium Enhancement to the Account Value. Participants may not transfer amounts in and out of a Contract to receive multiple bonuses on the same monies.

Contracts

This program is available only to certain 403(b) Portfolio Director accounts at this time. This does not include Contracts that are subject to ERISA or group Contracts that require permission or notice to offer this Premium Enhancement.

Important Information Applicable to Either Premium Enhancement Credit

The Premium Enhancement will not be counted as premium for contribution limits and is not considered to be an "Eligible Purchase Payment" for the IncomeLOCK program; however, any earnings on the Premium Enhancement will be included as a part of the Anniversary Value. The Premium Enhancement will be immediately available for withdrawal, annuitization or payment of a death benefit. The Premium Enhancement and any gains or losses attributable to it will be treated as "earnings" for all purposes under the Contract. As such, the Premium Enhancement will be subject to all of the rights and limitations that would otherwise apply under the Contract to earnings, gains or other credits. We may offer this Premium Enhancement program for one-year periods each year. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate the Premium Enhancement for Contracts that have not yet been issued. Additionally, we reserve the right to withhold payment of the Premium Enhancement until the expiration of the Contract's free look period. The Premium Enhancement may not be available in all states or through the broker-dealer with which your financial advisor is affiliated. Please check with your financial advisor for availability and any other restrictions.

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION

Set forth below is a summary of the general effect of applicable provisions of the Depositor's Bylaws regarding indemnification of, and advancement of legal expenses to, the Depositor's officers, directors and employees (collectively, "Indemnitees"). The Depositor shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a named defendant or respondent or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative (including any action by or in the right of the Depositor), or any appeal of such action, suit or proceeding and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, or officer or employee of the Depositor, or is or was serving at the request of the Depositor as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation or nonprofit corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, amounts paid in settlement, and reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) actually incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed, (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director of the Depositor, to be in the best interests of the Depositor and (ii) in all other cases, to be not opposed to the best interests of the Depositor; and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided, however that in the case of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Depositor, the indemnity shall be limited to reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) actually incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; and no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Depositor or liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person's official capacity as a director or officer. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Depositor; and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, shall not create a presumption that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Where an Indemnitee of the Depositor or other person entitled to indemnity hereunder has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys' fees) actually incurred by him in connection therewith.

Any indemnification (unless otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Depositor only as authorized in a specific case upon a determination that the applicable standard of conduct has been met. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who at the time of the vote have not been named as defendants or respondents in such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors, designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of all directors, consisting solely of two or more directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in such action, suit or proceeding, or (iii) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) by vote in the manner set forth in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) immediately above or if such a quorum cannot be obtained and such a committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of all directors, or (iv) by the shareholders in a vote that excludes the shares held by any Indemnitee who is named as a defendant or respondent in such action, suit or proceeding.

Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee of the Depositor or other person entitled to indemnity hereunder, who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in any such action, suit or proceeding described above may be paid by the Depositor in advance of the final disposition thereof upon (i) receipt of a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this article and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Depositor as authorized under this article and (ii) a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this article.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, the Depositor may pay or reimburse expenses incurred by any Indemnitee of the Depositor or any other person entitled to indemnity hereunder in connection with his appearance as a witness or other participation in any action, suit or a proceeding described above at a time when he is not named defendant or respondent in such action, suit or proceeding.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, as provided above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification by the Depositor is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and therefore may be unenforceable. In the event (a) that a claim for such indemnification (except insofar as it provides for the payment by the Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Depositor by such director, officer or controlling person; and (b) the Securities and Exchange Commission is still of the same opinion that the Depositor or Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit such cause to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by the Depositor is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 32. UNDERTAKINGS

a. VALIC hereby commits itself, on behalf of the contract owners, to the following undertakings:

1. To file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement as frequently as necessary to ensure that the audited financial statements in the registration statement are never more than 16 months old for so long as payments under the variable annuity contracts may be accepted;

2. To include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by the prospectus, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional Information;

3. To deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements required to be made available under this form promptly upon written or oral request.

b. The Company hereby represents that the fees and charges deducted under the contract, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred and the risks assumed by the Company.

c. Additional Commitments

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 added to the Internal Revenue Code a new section 403(b)(11) which applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 1988. This paragraph provides that withdrawal restrictions apply to contributions made and interest earned subsequent to December 31, 1988. Such restrictions require that distributions not begin before age 59 1/2, separation from service, death, disability, or hardship (only employee contributions without accrued interest may be withdrawn in case of hardship). These withdrawal restrictions appear in the Section "Federal Tax Matters" in either the prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information for contracts of this Registration Statement. The Company relies on a no-action letter issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 1988 stating that no enforcement action would be taken under sections 22(e), 27(c)(1), or 27(d) of the Act if, in effect, the Company permits restrictions on cash distributions from elective contributions to the extent necessary to comply with section 403(b)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code in accordance with the following conditions:

(1) Include appropriate disclosure regarding the redemption restrictions imposed by section 403(b)(11) in each registration statement, including the prospectus, used in connection with the offer of the contract;

(2) Include appropriate disclosure regarding the redemption restrictions imposed by section 403(b)(11) in any sales literature used in connection with the offer of the contract;

(3) Instruct sales representatives who solicit participants to purchase the contract specifically to bring the redemption restrictions imposed by section 403(b)(11) to the attention of the potential participants;

(4) Obtain from each plan participant who purchases a section 403(b) annuity contract, prior to or at the time of such purchase, a signed statement acknowledging the participant's understanding of (1) the restrictions on redemption imposed by section 403(b)(11), and (2) the investment alternatives available under the employer's section 403(b) arrangement, to which the participant may elect to transfer his Account Value.

The Company has complied, and is complying, with the provisions of paragraphs (1)-(4) above.

The Company relies on Rule 6c-7 of the Act which states that a registered separate account, and any depositor of or underwriter for such account, shall be exempt from the provisions of sections 22(e), 27(c)(1) and 27(d) of the Act with respect to a contract participating in this account to the extent necessary to permit compliance with the Texas Optional Retirement Program (Program) in accordance with the following conditions:

(a) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program in each registration statement, including the prospectus, used in connection with the Program;

(b) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program in any sales literature used in connection with the offer of the contract to Program participants;

(c) instruct salespeople who solicit Program participants to purchase the contract specifically to bring the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program to the attention of potential Program participants;

(d) obtain from each Program participant who purchases the contract in connection with the Program, prior to or at the time of such purchase, a signed statement acknowledging the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Program.

The Company has complied, and is complying, with the provisions of paragraphs (a)-(d) above.

The Company relies on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 19, 1993 exempting it from the provisions of section 22(e), 27(c)(1) and 27(d) of the Act with respect to a contract participating in this account to the extent necessary to permit compliance with the Optional Retirement Program of the State University System of Florida ("Florida ORP") as administered by the Division of Retirement of the Florida Department of Management Services ("Division") in accordance with the following conditions:

(a) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Division in each registration statement, including the prospectus, relating to the contracts issued in connection with the Florida ORP;

(b) include appropriate disclosure regarding the restrictions on redemption imposed by the Division in any sales literature used in connection with the offer of contracts to eligible employees;

(c) instruct salespeople who solicit eligible employees to purchase the contracts specifically to bring the restrictions on redemption imposed by the division to the attention of the eligible employees;

(d) obtain from each participant in the Florida ORP who purchases a contract, prior to or at the time of such purchase, a signed statement acknowledging the participant's understanding: (i) of the restrictions on redemption imposed by the division, and (ii) that other investment alternatives are available under the Florida ORP, to which the participant may elect to transfer his or her Account Values.

The Company has complied, and is complying, with the provisions of paragraphs (a)-(d) above.
