          medical treatment for Janet, and they lived in Chicago, Illinois,           
          for approximately 11 years prior to trial.  Sometime during 1993,           
          or prior thereto, petitioners determined that medical treatment             
          was too costly in the United States, and Janet returned to Mexico           
          for treatment.  Janet lived with petitioner's mother, Altagracia            
          Figueroa, and father, Jacinto Olvera Camacho.  Petitioner's                 
          parents live in a rented two-bedroom home in the city of                    
          Cuernavaca, in Morelos, Mexico.  In addition to Janet,                      
          petitioner's sister, Zulma Olvera, resided in the home.                     
          Petitioner's father worked periodically, doing electrical or                
          plumbing work, but he did not work on a regular basis.  By                  
          petitioner's estimates, his parents' annual expenditures for                
          rent, utilities, and food averaged approximately $6,390 during              
          the years in issue.                                                         
               In June 1993 Felicitas Olvera (Mrs. Olvera) and Illiana                
          returned to Mexico to care for Janet because petitioner's mother            
          became ill.  Mrs. Olvera and Illiana stayed with Mrs. Olvera's              
          parents.  Janet remained with petitioner's parents.                         
               During the years in issue, petitioner wired money to various           
          relatives in Mexico to help support his parents and his sister              
          Zulma Olvera, to pay for Janet's care, and to support Mrs.                  
          Olvera, Janet, and Illiana.  Petitioner wired funds at least 12             
          times in 1993 and at least 6 times in 1994, transferring amounts            
          totaling $3,510 and $2,400 in 1993 and 1994, respectively.  Of
