          consolidated cases herein, raised issues regarding additions to             
          tax for negligence and valuation overstatement.  We have found              
          the taxpayers liable for such additions to tax in all but one of            
          the opinions to date on these issues, although procedural rulings           
          have involved many more favorable results for taxpayers.2

          2    In Zidanich v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1995-382, we held              
          the taxpayers liable for the sec. 6659 addition to tax, but not             
          liable for the negligence additions to tax under sec. 6653(a).              
          As indicated in our opinion, the Zidanich case, and the Steinberg           
          case consolidated with it for opinion, involved exceptional                 
          circumstances.                                                              
               In Estate of Satin v. Commissioner, supra, and Fisher v.               
          Commissioner, supra, after the decision in Provizer v.                      
          Commissioner, supra, the taxpayers were allowed to elect to                 
                                                             (continued...)
