                  affiliation or veteran status or any other forms of                                  
                  discrimination or claims growing out of * * * [AT&T’s]                               
                  termination of its employees.  With respect to any                                   
                  charges that have been or may be filed concerning                                    
                  events or actions relating to my employment or the                                   
                  termination of my employment and which occurred on or                                
                  before the date of this * * * [release/waiver], I                                    
                  additionally waive and release any right I may have to                               
                  recover in any lawsuit or proceeding brought by me, an                               
                  administrative agency, or any other person on my behalf                              
                  or which includes me in any class.                                                   
                  As the parties have stipulated, before the relevant                                  
            documents/releases/waivers were signed by him, petitioner “had                             
            not made any claim against AT&T arising out of his employment”,                            
            he “had not threatened, nor brought to the attention of AT&T, the                          
            possibility of a claim against AT&T arising out of his                                     
            employment”, and he “was not aware of any emotional or physical                            
            harms that he * * * [might] have suffered that were directly or                            
            indirectly caused by his employment with AT&T”.                                            
                  The lump-sum payment and the periodic payments that                                  
            petitioner received in 1995 were included in the wages reported                            
            on a Form W-2 issued to petitioner by AT&T for that year.                                  
                  On his 1995 Federal income tax return, petitioner reported                           
            the periodic payments received in 1995, but did not report the                             
            lump-sum payment.  In the notice of deficiency, respondent                                 
            determined that the lump-sum payment must be included in                                   
            petitioner’s 1995 income.
