          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.3

          3         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.

          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                 
          accept a beneficial settlement because of exceptional
