          IX. Posttrial Developments                                                  
          A.   First Thompson Refund                                                  
          Around the time of the Dixon II trial, Mr. DeCastro asked                   
          Mr. McWade to arrange for the Thompsons to receive a refund of              
          $30,000 of their advance payments, in accordance with the second            
          revision of the Thompson settlement.  In a memorandum dated                 
          April 10, 1989, Mr. McWade requested Mr. Stevens to process a               
          $30,000 refund to the Thompsons.  Mr. McWade's April 10, 1989,              
          memorandum states:                                                          
                    The above-named taxpayers are part of the Kersting                
               Interest Deduction Project.  Because their case was                    
               designated as one of the "test cases", the basis for                   
               settlement agreed to prior to trial cannot be finalized                
               until after the Court enters its decision, projected to                
               be after mid-year 1990.                                                
                    The basis for settlement will result in                           
               approximate deficiencies, as follows:                                  

                Tax Year   Deficiencies     Interest         Total                    
               1980      $15,000.00     $19,241.66     $34,241.66                     
               1981      $15,000.00     $15,191.44     $30,191.44                     
                    Based upon the enclosed transcript, the taxpayers                 
               have made advance payments as follows:                                 
                    Tax Year            Advance Payment                               
                    1979                 $63,000.00                                   
          1980                 $35,373.09                                             
          1981                    $145.88                                             
                    In an effort to minimize the interest expense to                  
               the government, it is requested that $30,000.00 of                     
               advance payment be refunded to the taxpayers, the                      
               allocations and/or inter-year adjustments being made,                  
               as necessary.                                                          
                    Following the refund, there will be sufficient                    
               advance payments to full pay the agreed deficiencies,                  
               plus accrued interest, with a $4,085.87 reserve.
