Consulting Work
Lone Star Power Argentina-I, L.P. (Lone Star), a U.S.
partnership, retained petitioner, as a consultant, in connection
with its procuring permission from the Argentinean Government to
construct and operate an electrical power plant in Santa Fe
Province, Argentina (located approximately 400 kilometers from
Buenos Aires). For these services, Lone Star agreed to pay
petitioner $15,000 per month and reimburse him for expenses he
incurred in connection with his travel to (and stay in) Argentina.
Petitioner performed the majority of his services for Lone Star
in Argentina. During his business trips to Argentina petitioner
stayed at various hotels, took cabs, and dined at restaurants.
During 1993, Lone Star paid petitioner $50,000 in compensation and
reimbursed him for his expenses.
Falcon Seaboard Power Corp. (Falcon Seaboard), headquartered in
Houston, Texas, replaced Lone Star with regard to the proposed
construction of the power plant project. On February 2, 1994,
petitioner and Falcon Seaboard entered into an agreement similar to
that which petitioner had entered into with Lone Star (i.e.,
petitioner received $15,000 per month as a consulting fee and
reimbursement for his out-of-pocket expenditures).
