                    Held, the income thus received from the long-                     
               distance carriers for B & C services is income for the                 
               performance of "communication services" within sec.                    
               501(c)(12)(B)(i), and is therefore not taken into                      
               account to comply with the "85 percent or more"                        
               requirement of sec. 501(c)(12)(A).  Accordingly, since                 
               P is otherwise exempt from taxation under sec. 501(a),                 
               it does not lose that exempt status.                                   

               Raymond P. Wexler, Todd F. Maynes, James M. Caplinger, and             
          Mark E. Caplinger, for petitioner.                                          
               Robin W. Denick, Elizabeth Purcell, and Robert M. Fowler,              
          for respondent.                                                             

                                       OPINION                                        
               RAUM, Judge:  The Commissioner determined deficiencies of              
          $170,686, $164,484, and $90,241 in petitioner's Federal income              
          taxes for 1991, 1992, and 1993, respectively.  Petitioner, Golden           
          Belt Telephone Association, Inc., has filed a Motion for Summary            
          Judgment.  The facts are not in dispute; the Government "does not           
          take issue with petitioner's statement of Uncontested Facts" set            
          forth in petitioner's motion, and adopted those facts in its own            
          "Motion for Partial Summary Judgment".  Nor has the Government              
          disputed any facts stated in the "Preliminary Statement" of                 
          petitioner's motion.  At issue is whether income received by a              
          local telephone cooperative allocable to billing and collection             
          services performed in respect of long-distance calls qualifies as           
          income received for the performance of "communication services"
