                                        - 3 -                                         

               After a concession by petitioners,2 the issues remaining for           
          decision are as follows:                                                    
               (1) Whether petitioners are entitled to a partnership loss             
          deduction and investment and energy tax credits flowing from the            
          Sentinel EPE recycler leasing program entered into by the                   
          Clearwater Group.  We hold that they are not.                               
               (2) Whether petitioners are liable for additions to tax                
          under section 6653(a)(1) and (2) for negligence or intentional              
          disregard of rules or regulations.  We hold that they are.                  
               (3) Whether petitioners are liable for additional interest             
          under section 6621(c).  We hold that they are.                              
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated, and they are so                
          found.3  The stipulated facts and the attached exhibits are                 
          incorporated herein by this reference.  Petitioners resided in              
          White Plains, New York, at the time that their petition was filed           
          with the Court.                                                             



               2  Petitioners concede that the Sentinel EPE recyclers that            
          are involved in this case were overvalued.  Petitioners therefore           
          also concede that they are liable for the addition to tax for               
          overvaluation under sec. 6659 if we hold that they are liable for           
          the underlying deficiency.                                                  
               3  Petitioners objected to many of the stipulated facts on             
          the ground of relevancy.  We have considered petitioners'                   
          objections, and they are overruled.
