                                       - 17 -                                         

          Petitioner maintained a "Loss Prevention" manual that contained             
          written standards and procedures on prevention of loss associated           
          with the shipment of packages.  Controlled parcel handling was              
          addressed in a specific section of the loss prevention manual.              
          As part of the controlled handling procedures, petitioner                   
          performed audits in its hub, transportation, and delivery                   
          operations to ensure security of high-value packages.  Petitioner           
          considered these procedures to be expensive and time consuming.             
                         c.  Negotiations To Change Petitioner's Method of            
                         Handling Excess Value Charges                                
               Mr. Kenneth Johnson was the head of petitioner's insurance             
          department.  After various discussions with Mr. Walter                      
          Danielewski, petitioner's chief financial officer (CFO),                    
          regarding the manner in which petitioner collected EVC's, Mr.               
          Johnson contacted the brokerage firm of Frank B. Hall (Hall).               
                              (1)  Hall                                               
               Hall was one of the largest insurance brokerage firms in the           
          world.  Mr. Johnson had first worked with representatives at Hall           
          in 1981.  At that time, Mr. George Corde, an experienced vice               
          president of Hall, worked with Mr. Johnson in connection with               
          insurance for petitioner's aircraft and other matters.   Mr.                
          Thomas Garrity was a Hall vice president who worked for Mr.                 
          Corde.
