          from sources outside the United States, Rule 142(a), and have not           
          met that burden.  Accordingly, we do not reconsider our holding             
          that LTD's income from client incorporation and trust creation is           
          to be treated as income from sources within the United States.              
          C.   Pace Investments Income                                                
               In our prior opinion, we found that LTD's Pace investments             
          constituted a specialized mechanism for clients to draw upon                
          their unused lines of credit with Mexican financial institutions.           
          In their motion, however, petitioners ask the Court to reconsider           
          our finding and to adopt instead petitioners' proposed finding of           
          fact that "the Pace investment involved merely the purchase of              
          certificates of deposit issued by the foreign branches of Mexican           
          banks".                                                                     
               In our prior opinion, our findings regarding the Pace                  
          investments were based upon the Deloitte workpapers, which                  
          contained a description of the handling of the Pace investments.            
          As we stated, supra, the Deloitte workpapers were offered and               
          entered into evidence at trial without any objection by                     
          petitioners.  We are satisfied that the record in the instant               
          case establishes that the Pace investments constituted a                    
          specialized mechanism for clients to draw upon their unused lines           
          of credit with Mexican financial institutions.  Accordingly, we             
          do not reconsider such finding.                                             
               Additionally, petitioners argue that, because the Pace                 
          investments interest derived from Mexican banks, the interest
