          section 351 or sections 354, 355, and 368(a)(1)(D) (except as               
          required by such sections or section 357(c)), and that pursuant             
          to section 355 neither petitioner nor Pilkington Holdings                   
          recognized any gain or loss upon the exchange of LOF Glass, Inc.,           
          shares for the LOF shares.                                                  
               Before February 19, 1986, income, deductions, and credits              
          with respect to the LOF Glass Division were included in                     
          petitioner's return.  From February 19, 1986, through April 28,             
          1986, deductions and credits with respect to LOF Glass, Inc. (the           
          subsidiary), were included as part of petitioner's consolidated             
          return.  After April 28, 1986, LOF Glass, Inc., was no longer               
          part of petitioner, petitioner's affiliated group, or                       
          petitioner's consolidated Federal income tax return.                        
               On its 1986 consolidated return, petitioner did not include            
          any amount of ITC recapture with respect to the LOF Glass, Inc.,            
          section 38 assets.  Respondent determined that a $5,718,749 ITC             
          recapture arose from the April 1986 transaction.  Petitioner does           
          not dispute the amount of the ITC recapture, should the Court               
          hold petitioner liable for it.                                              
          Discussion                                                                  
               The investment tax credit provisions, now repealed but in              
          effect in respect of the taxable year 1986, provided for a tax              
          credit to taxpayers purchasing certain types of property for use            
          in their businesses.  Whether petitioner is required to recapture           
          its investment tax credit turns upon the impact of a revenue
