          Thomas during a field visit at the Lightning View address.  The             
          aforementioned revenue officers have no recollection of being               
          informed that petitioner was residing at the Rogers Avenue                  
          address or that petitioner wanted correspondence to be mailed to            
          that address.                                                               
               Petitioner was provided with a copy of the notice of                   
          deficiency for 1978 by letter from Revenue Officer Jaecksch dated           
          November 10, 1988.                                                          
               On February 24, 1998 (more than 14 years after the mailing             
          of the notice of deficiency and more than 9 years after                     
          petitioner received a copy of the notice of deficiency),                    
          petitioner filed a petition for redetermination with the Court.             
          The petition was hand-delivered to the Court.                               
               As indicated, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack            
          of Jurisdiction on the ground that the petition was not timely              
          filed.  Petitioner filed an objection to respondent's motion                
          asserting that the notice of deficiency was not mailed to his               
          last known address.                                                         
          This matter was called for hearing on two occasions at the                  
          Court's motions sessions held in Washington, D.C.  Counsel for              
          both parties appeared and presented evidence.  Following the                
          evidentiary hearing, both parties filed memoranda with the Court            
          setting forth their respective positions.
