          1171-1174 (7th Cir. 1984), affg. 80 T.C. 783 (1983), and we may             
          not rewrite the law because we may “‘deem its effects susceptible           
          of improvement’”, Commissioner v. Lundy, 516 U.S. 235, 252 (1996)

               Reviewed and adopted as the report of the Small Tax Case

               To reflect our disposition of the disputed issue,                      


                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        for respondent.
