            Kelly Long GC trust           17.9258               25                                      
            Ronald II GC trust            17.9258               25                                      

                  Respondent refused to accept petitioners' $11,333.30 per-share                        
            valuation of decedent's beneficial interest in 117.7568 shares of                           
            CamVic stock as reported on Schedule G of the Federal estate tax                            
            return.  In the notices of deficiency in these cases, respondent                            
            determined that the fair market value of the shares of CamVic stock                         
            includable in decedent's gross estate was $75,278.22 per share.                             
            Consequently, respondent increased decedent's gross estate in the                           
            amount of $7,529,951.                                                                       

                                                  OPINION                                               

                  The only issue we address in this opinion is the effect, if                           
            any, of CamVic's restrictive stock agreement on the value of the                            
            CamVic stock includable in decedent's gross estate pursuant to                              
            section 2036(a).                                                                            
                  The gross estate includes the value of all property to the                            
            extent of the decedent's interest therein at the time of his death.
