               2.   Reaves Livestock's Amended Tax Returns                            
               In June 1989, after Bozeman told Davis about the First                 
          Citizens accounts, Davis prepared amended corporate returns which           
          included the First Citizens accounts in the Reaves Livestock                
          records.                                                                    
               3.   Respondent's Taped Telephone Conversation Between                 
                    Lawson and Mr. Reaves                                             
               On September 25, 1989, at respondent's request, Lawson                 
          placed a telephone call to Mr. Reaves which respondent recorded             
          without Mr. Reaves' knowledge.  When Lawson agreed to make the              
          call, he feared that respondent would treat the cash from the 282           
          checks as his income.  When Lawson called Mr. Reaves' house, Mike           
          Reaves answered.  Lawson concealed from him that respondent was             
          recording the call.                                                         
               Mr. Reaves' recorded comments confirm that Lawson had been             
          giving him an unspecified amount of cash.  During the call, Mr.             
          Reaves said that if respondent's agents asked Lawson what Mr.               
          Reaves did with the money, Lawson should say that he did not know           
          because that was true.  Mr. Reaves said that Lawson should say              
          that Mr. Reaves needed cash for feed, cattle, or other business
