               We have considered all arguments in this case.  Those                  
          arguments not discussed herein are without merit or irrelevant.             
          To reflect the foregoing,                                                   
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.                          








               11 The record does not allow us to apply either of these               
          provisions.  In particular, we note that petitioner has not                 
          specified the dollar amounts which he actually paid for any of              
          his incidental expenses.
