Mr. Kozak submitted his draft affidavit to Mr. McWade in
August 1986 in an effort to have Mr. McWade eliminate the
deficiencies in Mr. Kozak's case, assigned docket No. 25812-81,

award or "finder's fee". The prerequisites that Mr. McWade
mentioned included the submission of an affidavit, an Internal
Revenue Service investigation, and an assessment resulting from
the information provided. The amount of an award was not
discussed during the meeting. Mr. McWade suggested that
Mr. Alexander should see Myron Chang, head of the Internal
Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division in Honolulu, to
determine whether the Criminal Investigation Division was

Mr. Kozak that he could do nothing to reduce the Kozaks' tax
deficiencies.

Mr. McWade told Mr. Alexander to search his records for
