Re: Glenbrook Life Discover Variable Account A ("Registrant")
Initial Registration Statement on Form N-4

Dear Ms. Vlcek:
On behalf of Registrant and pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, I hereby request withdrawal of Registrant's Initial
Registration Statement on Form N-4 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") on October 15, 1999. We are requesting withdrawal
because Registrant's depositor, Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company, has decided
that it will not offer the contract described in the Initial Registration
Statement.
For ease of reference, additional information regarding Registrant's October 15,
1999 Form N-4 filing is set forth below:
Filing date: 15 October 1999
Received date: 15 October 1999
Accepted date: 15 October 1999
Test Filing: No
Confirming Copy: No
Accession Number: 0000945094-99-000292
For the foregoing reasons, I submit that withdrawal of Registrant's October 15,
1999 Form N-4 Initial Registration Statement would be consistent with the public
interest and the protection of investors, and respectfully request that the
Commission grant this request for withdrawal. The cooperation of the
Commission's Staff is greatly appreciated in this matter.
Please direct any question or comment to me at 847-402-6461.
