          petitioner's Federal income tax returns is as follows:

          1992      8/30/96        ---       59,669         1987/1988                 
          1993      8/14/96        ---       114,000        1987/1988                 
               1  Petitioner filed joint income tax returns with his spouse           
          for all tax years in question.                                              
               2  Information relating to petitioner's 1984 and 1985 tax              
          years has not been made part of this record.                                





               6    Respondent bears the burden of proof on any increase in           
          deficiency.  Rule 142(a).  The increase in deficiency is based on           
          the amount of income reported on petitioner's delinquent 1993               
          income tax return, filed after the petition was filed in this               
          case.  Since petitioner has reported the income and does not                
          otherwise dispute the receipt of the income as reported,                    
          respondent's burden of proof has been met.                                  
               7    Respondent subsequently conceded the item of income               
          resulting in the request for an increase in deficiency, along               
          with additional Schedule A itemized deductions claimed by                   
          petitioner.  Respondent's burden of proof on this increase in               
          deficiency is therefore not an issue.
