               Specified Matters, were provided by mail to the taxpay-                
               ers in my hearing letter dated April 9, 2002. * * *                    
               On May 6, 2002 when the taxpayers appeared for the                     
               hearing, Mr. Horton, brought into the hearing a hand                   
               held tape recorder.  He was advised that the audio                     
               recording would not be allowed per our prior telephone                 
               conversation * * *.  Mr. Horton, however, did record                   
               our initial conversation and when this was discovered                  
               he was asked to stop recording or the hearing would be                 
               terminated.  The taxpayers chose to terminate the                      
               hearing and Mrs. Horton stated that they wished for                    
               this brief meeting to be their due process hearing.                    
               The hearing was concluded.  Based on this, no issues                   
               were raised by the taxpayers other than the lack of                    
               opportunity to audio record the hearing and no collec-                 
               tion alternatives were discussed at this meeting.
