          1  Unless otherwise specified, section references are to the                
          Internal Revenue Code in effect in the years in issue, and Rule             
          references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.            
               After concessions, we must decide:                                     
               1.  Whether Burndy-Japan Ltd. (Burndy-Japan) was a                     
          controlled foreign corporation (CFC) of Burndy Corp. (Burndy-US)1           
          in 1992.  We hold that it was not because Burndy-US did not own             
          more than 50 percent of the voting power of Burndy-Japan stock or           
          more than 50 percent of the value of Burndy-Japan stock in 1992.            
               2.  Whether transfers from Burndy-US and Framatome                     
          Connectors USA, Inc. (Framatome US), now known as Framatome                 
          Connectors USA Holding, Inc., to Framatome Connectors                       
          International (FCI), their parent corporation, of assets worth              
          more than the assets that Burndy-US received from FCI were                  
          constructive dividends subject to withholding tax under section             
          1442.  We hold that they were to the extent described below.                





               1  References to Burndy Corp. (Burndy-US) include its                  
          successors in interest, such as Framatome Connectors USA, Inc.,             
          and Framatome Connectors USA Holding, Inc.
