               Shortly after receiving this memorandum, Mr. Li called Gary            
          Lipetzky (Mr. Lipetzky), an Appeals officer in Honolulu, who had            
          begun to gather information about the Bauspar program.                      
          Mr. Lipetzky informed Mr. Li that he was the key Appeals officer            
          on the Bauspar program and that he had not formulated any                   
          settlement offer for that program.                                          
               Mr. Li subsequently contacted his supervisor, Ron Wise                 
          (Mr. Wise), Assistant Chief of Appeals in San Francisco, about              
          Mr. Sims' request.  On May 22, 1992, Mr. Wise talked to Mr. Sims            
          about the Thompson cases.  Mr. Sims told Mr. Wise that the                  
          Thompsons had been selected as Kersting test cases, the Thompsons           
          had their own attorney, Mr. Kersting had threatened to sue the              
          Thompsons, Mr. Kersting had denied the Thompsons the return                 
          on one of their investments, and Mr. Kersting considered                    
          Mr. Thompson to be a renegade.  Mr. Sims told Mr. Wise that he              
          and Mr. Thompson had worked out an informal arrangement that                
          the Thompsons would receive the better of the Tax Court decision            
          or the best settlement allowed to other Kersting program
