                    7) the Settlement Officer in this case has had no

                               ISSUES RAISED BY THE TAXPAYER                         
                    1) no specific issues concerning liability or                     
                    collection procedures were raised.                                
                    Rather, you indicated only that you wished                        
                    a face-to-face hearing, which you intended                        
                    to tape record, and that details would be                         
                    disclosed at the hearing.  You referenced                         
                    only the tax reform act of 1998 as the                            
                    reason for your hearing request.                                  
                    Finding:  Appeals is not obligated to address the                 
                    types of nonspecific issues contained in your                     
                    request, as you were advised in our conference                    
                    letter.  You did not submit specific, legitimate                  
                    issues for discussion in writing to qualify for a                 
                    face-to-face conference.  You were offered an                     
                    opportunity for a telephone conference, but failed                
                    to contact the Settlement Officer.
