                                        - 6 -                                         


                  Petitioner [sic] respectfully submits that this                     
                  Court's prior holding that the consent encompass'                   
                  B.D.B. is in error.  Petitioners contend that the                   
                  872-A executed by it [sic] specifically limits                      
                  the scope of any adjustments to Petitioners'                        
                  income to those adjustments resulting only from                     
                  modifications to any interest that Petitioner may                   
                  have in Thunderbird Associates, Ltd.  Petitioners                   
                  do not own an interest in Thunderbird Associates,                   
                  Ltd. but rather, Denis Brody was a partner in                       
                  B.D.B. Properties, a New York general partner-                      
                  ship.  B.D.B. Properties owned an interest in                       
                  Thunderbird Associates, Ltd., a Texas Limited                       
                  Partnership.  B.D.B. Properties, on or about                        
                  April 15, 1979 filed a form 1065 for the year                       
                  1978, including its share of Thunderbirds' net                      
                  taxable loss in its return.  The Petitioners in                     
                  their 1978 Income Tax Return Form 1040 included                     
                  their share of B.D.B.'s net taxable loss in their                   
                  Tax Return.  *  *  *                                                
                  The 872-A executed by Petitioners and Respondent                    
                  clearly limits any adjustments to Petitioner's                      
                  [sic] income only as a result of an adjustment to                   
                  Thunderbird Associates, Ltd.  Since Petitioners                     
                  are not a partner in Thunderbird, an adjustment                     
                  to Thunderbirds' income in 1978 has no effect                       
                  [sic] on Petitioner's taxable income 1978                           
                  notifications and adjustments would have to just                    
                  be made to the return of B.D.B.  However, since                     
                  the 872-A did not also extend the Statute of                        
                  Limitations with respect to B.D.B., the Internal                    
                  Revenue Service is barred from making the instant                   
                  assessment which purports to adjust Petitioner's                    
                  [sic] income as a result of an adjustment to                        
                  B.D.B.'s income for 1978.                                           
                            *    *    *    *     *   *    *                           
                  Since the Petitioners were not Partners in                          
                  Thunderbird Associates, Ltd., and since no                          
                  special consent was utilized to extend the                          
                  Statute of Limitations on behalf of the BDB                         
                  Partnership, no flow-through may occur.                             
                            *    *    *    *     *   *    *
