          attributable to particular group members and the contribution of            
          a member to a consolidated minimum tax credit limitation.)                  
               C.  Conclusion                                                         
               To summarize, there exists both insufficient statutory or              
          regulatory support for divergence from the consolidated approach            
          reflected in the book income adjustment provisions and a                    
          reasonable means through allocation to accommodate the section              
          1503(c) limits without resort to a subgroup approach.  In                   
          reaching this conclusion, we have considered all points raised by           
          the parties and, to the extent not addressed herein, they are               
          cumulative, irrelevant, or not appropriate for further discussion           
          because not presented by the facts before us.  Accordingly, we              
          hold that, in the context of a life-nonlife consolidated return,            
          the AMT book income adjustment is to be made using a consolidated           
          approach, with a single adjustment for the entire group.                    
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              


                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
