               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.  The          
          stipulation of facts and the attached exhibits are incorporated

               Petitioners resided in New Canaan, Connecticut, at the time            
          they filed their petition.                                                  
               Petitioner was born on April 23, 1938.  He graduated from Yale         
          Law School in 1964, and subsequently became a member of the New             
          York and District of Columbia bars.  Margaret Sherman, petitioner's         
          wife, did not work outside the home.                                        
          Employment with IBM                                                         
               Petitioner was employed by IBM between December 1, 1965, and           
          May 28, 1993.  At all relevant times, he was a staff attorney,              
          assigned to the IBM corporate division.                                     
               The IBM corporate division determined that "permanent resource         
          reductions" (permanent employee layoffs) were necessary.  This              
          determination was announced sometime in February 1993.
