                                        - 6 -                                         
          Accordingly, petitioners are entitled to a rate of $55 per hour             
          (i.e., for 44.8 hours).                                                     
               Petitioners incurred $183 of reimbursable litigation costs             
          relating to postage, photocopies, telephone calls, faxes, and Tax           
          Court filing fee.  An unsubstantiated $3.50 expense and an $11.50           
          Federal Express expense shall not be reimbursed.  See Cassuto v.            
          Commissioner, 93 T.C. 256, 275 (1989) (declining to reimburse               
          Federal Express expense absent proof of necessity), affd. in part           
          and revd. in part on another ground 936 F.2d 736 (2d Cir. 1991).            
               We award petitioners $10,798.                                          
               Any other contention made by the parties is irrelevant,                
          moot, or meritless.                                                         
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  An appropriate order and            
                                             decision will be entered.
