          Petitioners' Exhibit 3 is a tax protester harangue.  (More                  
          hereinafter about petitioners' Exhibit 3, for identification.)              
               The Court, on four separate occasions, invited petitioner to           
          address the issues contained in the notice of deficiency and Mr.            
          Langeliers' testimony as a fact witness.  In pertinent part, the            
          four occasions when the Court so instructed petitioner are as               
          follows:                                                                    
               THE COURT:     We don't want to keep this witness on                   
                              the stand --                                            
               MR. ROUGH:     Well --                                                 
               THE COURT:     -- for anything other than his                          
                              testimony. His testimony was that he                    
                              gave you these checks that are in                       
                              evidence now as E,that he made two other                
                              checks to you.  I believe he stated the                 
                              amounts of the checks or the number of                  
                              the check, and he's been unable to                      
                              obtain copies of those checks.  That is                 
                              the direct testimony.  And your cross-                  
                              examination will be restricted to the                   
                              witness' direct testimony.                              
               MR. ROUGH:     Okay.                                                   
               THE COURT:     So the questions you are about to ask                   
                              him I assume are going to be in regard                  
                              to the two checks which he could not                    
                              locate.                                                 
               MR. ROUGH:     Okay.  Forgive me, for I don't know the                 
                              correct words on how to - how to say                    
                              this, so I'll just say it in my own                     
                              words. Exhibit A [marked for                            
                              identification as Exhibit 3] will allow                 
                              me to prove that any -- any citizen off                 
                              the street would end up agreeing with me                
                              after -- after asking questions and                     
                              referring to Exhibit A, that the label                  
                              of tax protester attached to me   by the                
                              respondent is an incorrect statement.
