          Corp. v. United States, ___ F.3d ___ (Fed. Cir. 1997), and cases            
          discussed therein.                                                          
               We are obliged to apply the law as written.  Because section           
          6404(e) does not grant authority to the Commissioner to abate               
          interest accruing on deficiencies for tax years beginning before            
          January 1, 1979, we decline to graft on to the provision an                 
          exception for interest assessed as the result of the disallowance           
          of the carryback of net operating losses to the 1978 taxable                
          year.  Consequently, we shall grant respondent's Motion for                 
          Partial Summary Judgment.                                                   
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                             An order will be issued                  
                                        denying respondent's Motion to                
                                        Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction              
                                        and granting respondent's Motion              
                                        for Partial Summary Judgment.
