               This case involves the question of whether an assignment of            
          accounts receivable by petitioner to a defined benefit plan was a           
          prohibited transaction giving rise to an excise tax under section           
          4975, which was added to the Code by section 2003(a) of the                 
          Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), Pub. L.            
          93-406, 88 Stat. 829, 971.  More specifically, the issues for               
          decision are:  (1) Whether the assignment of an employer's                  
          accounts receivable to a defined benefit plan is a prohibited               
          transaction within the meaning of section 4975(c), resulting in             
          petitioner's being liable under section 4975(a); (2) whether the            
          assignment of accounts receivable was not corrected within the              
          meaning of section 4975(f)(5), resulting in petitioner's being              
          liable under section 4975(b); (3) whether petitioner is liable              


               1(...continued)                                                        
          Procedure.                                                                  
               2  Respondent concedes that petitioner is not subject to the           
          first-tier excise tax of sec. 4975(a) or any additions to tax for           
          the taxable years 1986 and 1987, as determined in the notice of             
          deficiency.  Additionally, respondent concedes petitioner is not            
          subject to an addition to tax under sec. 6653(a)(1) for the                 
          taxable year ended Dec. 31, 1988.
