                         return for 1993 and did not present any argument             
                         regarding the addition to tax.  We deem petitioner           
                         to have conceded liability for the addition to               
                         tax.                                                         
          II. Docket No. 19279-97, June Cordes:                                       
               A.   1993:                                                             
                    1.   Respondent determined petitioner made taxable                
                         gifts to John Cordes in 1993, in the aggregate               
                         amount of $76,900.  Petitioner, in her petition,             
                         alleged that the transfers are not taxable gifts             
                         only because the applications of the unified                 
                         credit and annual exclusions, see sec. 2503,                 
                         reduce her tax liability.  Petitioner has not                
                         presented any argument regarding these adjustments           
                         in her posttrial briefs.  We deem petitioner to              
                         have conceded that the transfers are taxable                 
                         gifts, as defined in sec. 2503(a), subject to the            
                         annual exclusion in 2503(b).  We leave for the               
                         Rule 155 computation whether and to what extent              
                         the unified credit and the annual exclusions are             
                         applicable.                                                  
                    2.   Respondent determined petitioner was liable for an           
                         addition to tax for 1993, pursuant to sec.                   
                         6651(a)(1), for failure to file a gift tax return.           
                         Petitioner concedes she did not file a gift tax              
                         return for 1993 and did not present any argument             
                         regarding the addition to tax.  We deem petitioner           
                         to have conceded liability for the addition to               
                         tax.
