               51           26 U.S.C. 7201               Tax evasion for 1985                           

                      By the start of Mr. London's trial on January 4,                                  
               1993, the 51 counts of the second superseding indictment                                 
               had been reduced to 30 counts.  Several counts, including                                
               the count charging Mr. London with gambling, were dismissed                              
               by the Government, and several other counts were dismissed                               
               by the District Court.  The two counts of tax evasion                                    
               (counts 50 and 51) were among the counts that were not                                   
               tried, but the record of these cases does not explain why.                               
               On February 19, 1993, a jury returned guilty verdicts with                               
               respect to 29 counts involving RICO, money laundering,                                   
               failure to file CTR's, and extortion.  The jury acquitted                                
               Mr. London on one count of money laundering.  During the                                 
               jury trial, the contents of the communications intercepted                               
               during the electronic surveillance of Heller's Cafe were                                 
               introduced into evidence.  On March 3, 1993, Mr. London                                  
               pleaded guilty to willful evasion of his 1985 Federal                                    
               income tax under section 7201.
