Estate of Merle Allen Whiting, Jr., Deceased, Vicki Ann Whiting, Executrix - Page 22

                                       - 22 -                                         
          disability section do not restrict Mrs. Whiting’s qualifying                
          income interest for life pursuant to section                                
          2056(b)(7)(B)(i)(II).                                                       
               In light of our holding that the trust qualifies for the               
          marital deduction pursuant to section 2056(b)(7), we need not               
          address whether the disability section constitutes a valid                  
          facilitation of payment power under Rev. Rul. 85-35, 1985-1 C.B.            
          328.                                                                        
               In reaching our holding herein, we have considered all                 
          arguments made by the parties, and to the extent not mentioned              
          above, we find them to be irrelevant or without merit.                      
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             for petitioner.
