                                       - 30 -                                         
          C.  Conclusion                                                              
               The record demonstrates that the structure that decedent               
          employed through her legal representatives and family was merely            
          a testamentary vehicle employed to shift her assets to future               
          generations while maintaining her continued right to benefit from           
          the FLP interests transferred.  This is precisely the type of               
          situation for which section 2036 was created.  Accordingly, we              
          sustain respondent’s determination, subject to the parties’                 
          concessions.                                                                


                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        under Rule 155.
