          its annual report.  The report went to petitioner's members.                
          USNB did not expect or require petitioner to mail direct                    
          solicitation materials to satisfy its duty to inform members                
          about the affinity credit card program.                                     
               2.  Petitioner's Occasional Assistance to Alumni                       
               After the affinity credit card program began, petitioner               
          occasionally received requests from alumni for credit card                  
          applications.  In each case, petitioner sent a brochure to the              
          person making the request.                                                  
               Petitioner received a few complaints from alumni who had               
          been denied a credit card.  Petitioner referred these complaints            
          to USNB and asked USNB to look into the problem.  USNB decided              
          whether to issue a credit card.  On each occasion, USNB told                
          petitioner that the alumni member was contacted and the matter              
          handled appropriately.                                                      
               Petitioner occasionally received requests for credit cards             
          from persons who were connected with the University of Oregon but           
          who were not alumni.  Petitioner forwarded each request to USNB.            
               3.   USNB's 800 Number for Affinity Credit Card Holders                
               All advertisements and solicitations asked the recipient to            
          contact USNB directly.  The promotional materials listed USNB's             
          800 number.  It was expected that alumni would contact USNB.                
          Petitioner maintained a list of USNB employees and their areas of
