          to the specifics of petitioner's organization, activities, or               
          operation.  The latest response repeated many of the statements             
          set forth on the prior response.                                            
               On December 13, 1994, the Commissioner issued to petitioner            
          a 30-day letter reflecting the Commissioner's determination that            
          petitioner did not qualify under section 501(c)(3) because it               
          failed the operational test of section 1.501(c)(3)-1(c), Income             
          Tax Regs.  Approximately 1 month later, Mr. Tully, in his                   
          capacity as petitioner's vice president, notified the                       
          Commissioner that petitioner was appealing that determination,              
          and approximately 6 months after that, Mr. Tully met with one of            
          the Commissioner's Appeals officers to discuss petitioner's case.           
          Shortly after this meeting, petitioner filed with the                       
          Commissioner an amended Form 1023.  As amended, petitioner's Form           
          1023 stated:                                                                
               the primary purpose of the foundation, as stated in its
