          decedent wrote "CALL STATE 1-378-2881 FOR DOPE".4  On the page              
          reporting bonds that paid interest in April and October, decedent           
          wrote next to one of the entries:                                           
                    First Optional Call Date 4/1/2001                                 
                    Watch for Call Date

               In March 1993, while Mr. Meyer was obtaining valuation                 
          figures for use in the Probate Inventory, Mr. Kadish prepared a             
          disclaimer that he and Mr. Wyse had intended decedent to sign               
          (Exhibit 8-H). Page 1 of Exhibit 8-H listed all the classes of              
          Mrs. Chamberlain's property; page 2 of Exhibit 8-H stated a                 
          specific amount, $525,000, as being disclaimed.  Exhibit 8-H did            
          not list any assets because Messrs. Meyer and Kadish planned to             
          wait until the values of all of Mrs. Chamberlain's probate assets           
          had been determined before deciding which assets to include in              
          the disclaimer.  To that effect, in a memo to the June                      
          Chamberlain Probate File, Mr. Meyer wrote:                                  
               Attached is the file.  You can see a very nice                         
               memorandum from John about disclaimers.  I will need                   
               to make up a total list of joint bonds as well, but we                 
               won't pick those up right now, but we're going to have                 
               to make a quick decision.  Let's get what were [sic]                   
               talking about, we'll value them and then see how many                  
               more we want to add to the pile.                                       




               4 The area code for Portland, Oregon is "503."  The                    
          telephone number (503) 378-2881 is assigned to the Bond and                 
          Coupon Section of the Oregon State Treasury.
