          $243,665.65.  In the amendment to answer respondent increased               
          this figure by an additional $144,812.48.  During 1976, at the              
          direction of Mrs. Conway, Ingersoll-Rand deposited commissions              
          totaling �5,494.40 into the Zand FNCB London account.  At the               
          average monthly exchange rate for March 1976, this was equivalent           
          to $10,688.05. (International Financial Statistics, March 1976.)            
          In a sworn affidavit dated February 26, 1981, handwritten by one            
          of the IGOS shareholders, Hossein Shirazi, (Mr. Shirazi), stated            
          that during both 1976 and 1978 IGOS paid $120,000 to petitioner             
          for Ingersoll-Rand commissions.  Mr. Shirazi was not a witness in           
          this proceeding.  No income from IGOS was reported on                       
          petitioner's 1976 return.  Petitioner reported $120,000 as income           
          attributable to IGOS on his 1978 Federal income tax return.                 
          Respondent now concedes a portion of the earlier positions and              
          contends only that petitioner failed to report $130,769.02 in               
          1976 commissions from Ingersoll-Rand.  This amount consists of              
          the alleged $120,000 distribution from IGOS described by Mr.                
          Shirazi in his affidavit and the equivalent of $10,769.02                   
          deposited in the form of British pounds in the Zand FNCB London             
          account.                                                                    
                                      K. Morgan                                       
               Although there was no written agreement or contract between            
          Morgan and Diesel Power, petitioner, or CTC, there apparently was
