          of an affiliated group of corporations making a consolidated

          1982 taxable (calendar) year in the amount of $9,856,982.76 along           
          with an increased rate of interest under section 6621(c).  The

          expenditures made in connection with certain cigarette products             
          and (2) the character of a portion of a payment received as the             
          result of an arbitration proceeding arising from the                        
          expropriation of certain property by the Government of Kuwait.
