On June 14, 1994, the Commissioner mailed petitioner a
letter seeking clarification of the information that it had
provided him on and with the application. The letter specified
the information that the Commissioner needed to rule on
petitioner's request for exempt status and listed the name and
phone number of a person at the Internal Revenue Service to
contact with any questions. The letter stated: "We can only
recognize you as exempt in advance of operations if you are able
to describe your proposed operations in sufficient detail to
enable us to determine that you will be organized and operated in
accordance with section 501(c)(3) of the Code."
On or about August 5, 1994, petitioner mailed the
Commissioner a response to his letter. The response gave vague
answers to the questions set forth in the Commissioner's letter
and did not explain in detail petitioner's proposed activities or
operation.
