          taxable years 1993 through 1997.                                            
               Federal tax assessments are formally recorded on a record of           
          assessment.  Sec. 6203.  “The summary record, through supporting            
          records, shall provide identification of the taxpayer, the                  
          character of the liability assessed, the taxable period, if                 
          applicable, and the amount of the assessment.”  Sec. 301.6203-1,            
          Proced. & Admin. Regs.                                                      
               Section 6330(c)(1) does not require the Commissioner to rely           
          on a particular document to satisfy the verification requirement            
          imposed therein.  Roberts v. Commissioner, 118 T.C.     n.10                
          (2002); Weishan v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-88; Lindsey v.             
          Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-87; Tolotti v. Commissioner, T.C.             
          Memo. 2002-86; Duffield v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-53;                
          Kuglin v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 2002-51.  In this regard, we             
          observe that the transcripts of account on which the Appeals                
          officer relied, and which she furnished to petitioners during the           
          hearing, contained all the information prescribed in section                
          301.6203-1, Proced. & Admin. Regs.  See Weishan v. Commissioner,            
          supra; Lindsey v. Commissioner, supra; Tolotti v. Commissioner,             
          supra; Duffield v. Commissioner, supra; Kuglin v. Commissioner,             
          supra.3                                                                     


               3  In their motion to dismiss, see supra p. 11, petitioners            
          alleged that the Appeals officer did not provide them with a copy           
          of the verification.  We note that sec. 6330(c)(1) does not                 
                                                             (continued...)
