EDGAR FILING

     Re:  MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut
          Form S-3 Registration Statement
          File No. 333-____________

Dear Sir or Madam:

     On behalf of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"), transmitted
herewith for filing, pursuant to the requirements of Section 10(a) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") and Rule 101(a) of
Regulation S-T, is a conformed electronic format copy of a registration
statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") with respect to MetLife
Target Maturity ("MTM"), a deferred annuity contract issued by MICC with a
market value adjustment feature. The Registration Statement has been filed in
accordance with Rule 413 under the 1933 Act to register additional securities in
the same class as already in effect for MTM pursuant to a registration statement
filed on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-156846).

     The disclosure requirements of Form S-3 are substantially similar to the
disclosure requirements of Form S-1; however, unlike Form S-1, Form S-3 provides
that all documents filed subsequently by the registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"),
prior to termination of the registration statement, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into the prospectus. Form S-1 filers typically file a
post-effective amendment to incorporate by reference any new documents filed
subsequently by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act.

     The existing disclosure has been updated as necessary and has otherwise not
materially changed. The Registration Statement includes a delaying amendment in
accordance with Rule 473 under the 1933 Act. MICC intends to file a
pre-effective amendment in early 2012 to address (i) open items in the
Registration Statement and (ii) address any comments raised by the Commission
staff.



     This transmission contains conformed signature pages, the manually signed
originals of which are maintained at MICC's offices. Please contact Andras P.
Teleki at (202) 778-9477 or the undersigned at (202) 778-9886 with any questions
comments.

                                          Sincerely,

                                          /s/ Diane E. Ambler

                                          Diane E. Ambler
