               officers, directors and their immediate familites                       
               [sic], friends and business associates.                                 
          The second Form 1023 did not list specifics as to petitioner's               
          operations, including the manner in which petitioner would effect            
          its primary purpose.  The second Form 1023 did not address any               
          safeguards against private inurement.                                        
               On April 9, 1996, the Commissioner mailed a letter to                   
          petitioner explaining that it had not yet described its                      
          operations in sufficient detail.  The letter set forth four items            
          of information that the Commissioner lacked as to petitioner                 
          including a definition of the term "financially strap" as set                
          forth in the second Form 1023.                                               
               By way of an undated letter, Mr. Tully responded to the                 
          Commissioner's letter of April 9, 1996.  The response was                    
          generally vague as to the information sought.  As to the                     
          definition of the term "financially strap", the letter stated:               
                    This organization defines the term "financially                    
               strap" as a temporary condition wherein the person, or                  
               family, under consideration is without "immediate funds                 
               in sufficient amount to provide the very necessities of                 
               life for the present day, or week, at most".                            
                    It is not to bail out any person or family from                    
               their current financial psoition [sic].  Rather, it is                  
               a temporary means of relief that is intended to assist                  
               that person or family in their immediate need of foods                  
               and or lodging for at least a day or two, perhaps a                     
               week at the most until they can get on relief or find                   
               other assistance, if that be the case.
