                                        - 4 -                                         
          required to pay tax; and (4) whether the substitute for return              
          under section 6020(b) applies only to alcohol, tobacco, and                 
          firearm activities.  Petitioner listed no witnesses in his                  
          pretrial memorandum.  He relied on his proposed stipulation of              
          facts as the statement of facts in his pretrial memorandum.                 
               Petitioner also submitted a white notebook which contained             
          materials stating his position in this case.  The Court filed               
          petitioner's pretrial memorandum, white notebook, and statement             
          to make a record of his contentions.                                        
               Petitioner contends that the income tax is invalid and                 
          denies that it applies to him.  Petitioner said that he                     
          researched tax law and decided to file a return for a non-                  
          resident alien because he believed that he was entitled to                  
          receive a refund of tax that he had previously paid.  In his                
          response to respondent's proposed stipulation of facts, he said             
          that he should not have filed a Form 1040NR return because he did           
          not know of any obligation he had to file any return.                       
               Petitioner also contends that:  (1) He was not liable for              
          tax because he was not involved in any excisable activity; (2)              
          respondent's substitute for return is invalid because section               
          6020(b) only applies to alcohol, tobacco, and firearms; (3) Form            
          1040 is not the proper form for an individual taxpayer to file;             
          (4) payment of income tax is voluntary, and he did not volunteer            
          to pay it; (5) he did not receive due process; (6) he did not               
          receive notice that he was required to keep records; (7)
