          American Energy Association and the American Energy Society, both           
          of which are "citizens' action groups" whose purpose is to                  
          locate, and pursue the prosecution of, violators of various                 
          energy laws.                                                                
               Additionally, petitioner has conducted seminars in solar               
          energy over the years.  Some of these solar energy seminars were            
          conducted at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.               
          During 1991, petitioner made several speaking appearances on this           
          subject, including a keynote speech at the University of Dubuque,           
          Iowa.3                                                                      
               Finally, during 1991, Thomason Enterprises was formed for              
          the stated purpose of acquiring rental real estate.  However,               
          Thomason Enterprises later became a part of Thomason Solar Homes,           
          Inc.4                                                                       
               In January 1991, petitioner and Mrs. Thomason purchased a              
          condominium in Manatee County, Florida, at a public auction for             
          $1,950.  They subsequently began to advertise the condominium for           
          sale or rent in the Washington Post, a newspaper of daily                   
          circulation in Washington, D.C.  Petitioner intended to make "a

               Petitioner's accomplishments in the field of solar energy              
          have been recognized by an article in the Reader's Digest, by               
          publications of the Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Customs            
          Service, and the Audubon Naturalist Society, and in a Mexico City           
          newspaper, the Washington Post, and the former Washington, D.C.,            
          Evening Star.

               The record does not reflect when or in what manner Thomason            
          Enterprises became a part of Thomason Solar Homes, Inc.
