               The cases in the foregoing dockets have been selected by the           
          parties as test cases that will resolve common issues in more               
          than 120 cases in a group identified by respondent as "Fred Bryen           
          Promotions".  Most petitioners in the nontest cases have executed           
          "piggyback agreements" in which they agree with respondent to be            
          bound by the outcomes in the test cases.

               The global issue in these consolidated cases is the tax                
          effect of the purported employee leasing transactions of seven              
          partnerships.  By agreement of the parties, the questions                   
          presented for decision are whether the transactions of the seven            
          partnerships had (1) economic substance and (2) a profit                    
          objective.  Because we answer those questions in the negative, we           
          hold that neither the partners nor the partnerships are entitled            
          to loss deductions for payroll costs, that the Pettisani                    
          petitioners are not entitled to deductions for interest on                  
          certain long-term notes, that petitioner Intercoastal Management
