Re:	Registration Statement for Pacific Voyages Individual Flexible Premium Deferred
	Variable Annuity (File Number to be Assigned) funded by Separate Account A (File
	Number 811-08946) of Pacific Life Insurance Company
	Request for Selective Review of the Registration Statement

Dear Sir or Madam:

On behalf of Pacific Life Insurance Company (“Pacific Life”) and Separate Account A (“Separate Account”) of Pacific Life, attached for electronic filing under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) is a Registration Statement, with exhibits, on Form N-4. The enclosed relates to an individual flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract designated as the Pacific Voyages Individual Flexible Premium Deferred Variable Annuity Contract (“Pacific Voyages” or “Contract”), which is funded by the Separate Account.

Pacific Life is requesting selective review of this filing pursuant to “Revised Procedures for Processing Registration Statements, Post-Effective Amendments and Preliminary Proxy Materials Filed by Registered Investment Companies, Investment Co. Act Rel. No. 13768 (Feb. 15, 1984).” The prospectus for Pacific Voyages is based on, and is substantially similar to, the prospectus for Pacific Portfolios Individual Flexible Premium Deferred Variable Annuity (File No. 033-88460) (“Pacific Portfolios”) offered by Pacific Life. By copy of this letter, we are sending a hard copy of the Pacific Voyages prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) marked to show where disclosure differs from that in the Pacific Portfolios prospectus and SAI.

The prospectus disclosure included in Pacific Voyages differs materially from Pacific Portfolios as follows:

1. A lower Mortality and Expense Risk Charge (“Risk Charge”). The Risk Charge for Pacific Voyages is an annual rate of 1.00% (Pacific Portfolios is 1.20%) All references to the Risk Charge were updated to reflect the lower annual rate.

Pursuant to policies described in Release No. IC-13768, we believe that selective review is appropriate. We look forward to your response and comments. If you have any questions, please call me at (949) 219-3743.

Sincerely,

/s/ CHARLENE A. GRANT
