                              Year      Deficiency                                    
                              1990      $6,400.27

          The issue for decision is whether reimbursement by the State of             
          Mississippi for certain travel, lodging, and meal expenses incurred         
          by James Lawton Robertson (petitioner) during his term as a Justice         
          of the Mississippi Supreme Court is excludable from petitioners'            
          income.  To the extent petitioner incurred unreimbursed travel,             
          lodging, and meal expenses, we must also decide whether those               
          expenses are deductible from petitioners' income.

          Internal Revenue Code as in effect for the years in issue.  All

                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.  The
