          assessed at any time on or before June 30, 1995."  That Form 872

               The officers of Amax and Cyprus Amax who signed the Forms              
          872 in question were not at any relevant times officers of Alumax           
          or of any other member of petitioners' group.  Neither Alumax nor           
          any other member of petitioners' group executed at any relevant             
          times a written power of attorney or any other document explic-             
          itly referring to a power of attorney, which specifically autho-            
          rized any of those officers to represent Alumax or any other                
          member of petitioners' group with respect to the years 1984,                
          1985, and 1986.                                                             
               On March 15, 1995, respondent issued a notice of deficiency            
          (notice) to Alumax, Incorporated and Consolidated Subsidiaries.             
          In the notice, respondent determined, inter alia:                           
               you are not qualified for inclusion in Amax, Inc.'s                    
               affiliated group for the taxable years ended December                  
               31, 1984, December 31, 1985 and November 24, 1986,                     
               because Amax, Inc. did not satisfy the requirements of                 
               I.R.C. �1504(a) during any portion of said taxable                     
               years.                                                                 
                     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *                      
               Accordingly, you are treated as filing separate income                 
               tax returns for the years ended December 31, 1984,
