          agreed to with regard to the tax adjustments in dispute and with            
          regard to increased interest under section 6621(c).  The years              
          before us in this case are 1979 and 1980.                                   
               Stipulations of settlement were filed by the parties on                
          October 6, 1992, and July 7, 1995, respectively.  The                       
          computational dispute between the parties involves an                       
          interpretation of the stipulation of settlement filed on July 7,            
          1995 (the stipulation).                                                     
               The stipulation provides, among other things, that                     
          respondent’s adjustments regarding the so-called Arbitrage                  
          Management tax shelter scheme, as those adjustments are set forth           
          in respondent’s notice of deficiency for 1979 and 1980, are to be           
          sustained.                                                                  
               Although petitioners’ 1981 and 1982 tax years are closed for           
          the filing by petitioners of claims for refund and although those           
          years are not before us in this case, the stipulation provides,             
          by way of settlement, that petitioners’ income for 1979 is to be            
          increased by $645,469, which income relates to the netting into             
          petitioners’ 1979 tax year adjustments pertaining to Arbitrage              
          Management that arose in 1981 and 1982.                                     
               For 1979 and apparently for 1980, petitioners now attempt to           
          offset against the tax adjustments agreed to in the stipulation             
          alleged net operating losses (NOL's) of $174,176 and $184,972,              
          respectively, from petitioners' closed 1981 and 1982 tax years,
