          Numerous issues have been raised as a consequence of respondent’s           
          determinations; many of these issues heretofore have been resolved.         
          The issue to be decided herein concerns the amounts petitioners may         
          deduct for years 1991-94 for contributions made to a voluntary              
          employee benefit association (VEBA) trust to provide postretirement         
          medical benefits to covered employees and their eligible                    
          dependents.  To determine the allowable amounts, we first must              
          decide the proper method to be used in computing the reserve under          
          section 419A(c)(2).2  Then we must decide whether petitioners used          
          reasonable investment rates in their actuarial computations.                
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are found                   
          accordingly.  The stipulations of facts and the attached exhibits           
          are incorporated herein by this reference.                                  









               2    All section references are to the Internal Revenue Code           
          as in effect for the years in issue.
