          following wages from Raytheon, income from other sources, and               
          adjusted gross income (not including any exclusions from income

          Loss From Farming, farm loss Specking sustained in each year.               
          With the 1997 return, Specking included a Form 2555, Foreign                
          Earned Income, on which he claimed that he had foreign earned               
          income of $95,246 relating to work performed on Johnston Island,            
          of which $70,000 was an eligible “foreign earned income                     
          exclusion”.                                                                 
               On or about June 1, 1998, Specking filed Forms 1040X,                  
          Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Returns, for 1995 and 1996 on            
          which he claimed he was entitled to refunds of $8,522 and                   
          $11,531, respectively, because he could exclude $70,000 from                
          gross income for each of those years because “UNDER SECTION 931             
          AND REGULATION 1.931-1 PERSONS EARNING INCOME FROM JOHNSTON
