Dear Ms. Samuel:

Pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, FS Variable
Separate Account ("the Registrant"), a separate account of The United
States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York, hereby requests the

Commission grant an order for the withdrawal of the Registration Statement
and declare the withdrawal effective upon filing.
