                           Year         Deficiency                                    
                           1995         $17,844                                       
                           1996         18,802

                       Robert J. Haessly, docket No. 14496-99                         
                           Year         Deficiency                                    
                           1995         $17,859                                       
               Petitioners filed separate petitions to redetermine the                
          deficiencies.  We consolidated these cases for purposes of                  
          briefing and opinion pursuant to Rule 141(a) because they present           
          common questions of fact and law.  These cases in the aggregate             
          are referred to as “this case”.                                             
               After a concession,4 the only issue remaining for decision             
          is whether petitioners may exclude from gross income, under                 
          section 931 or, alternatively, under section 911, compensation              
          they received during the years in issue for services they                   
          performed on Johnston Island.                                               





               3For 1997, petitioner Eric N. Umbach (Umbach) filed a joint            
          Federal individual income tax return with Alicia LePard.  She did           
          not join with Umbach in filing the petition for 1997.  In the               
          notice of deficiency for 1997, respondent refers to Alicia LePard           
          as Alicia Lepard Umbach.                                                    
               4Respondent concedes that petitioner Robert J. Haessly is              
          entitled to claim a credit for child and dependent care expenses            
          in the amount of $43 for 1995.
