                                                -217-                                                   
            documents after receipt of the IRS summons.  United States v.                               
            Administration Co., supra; Exh. 9047--Mem. Op. and Ord. of May                              
            20, 1994.                                                                                   
                  The District Court concluded that none of the summoned                                
            documents were produced and the Kanters and the four Kanter-                                
            related entities acted in bad faith in failing to comply with and                           
            blocking enforcement of the summonses.  The District Court                                  
            ordered Gallenberger, on behalf of PSAC, to appear before the IRS                           
            by May 24, 1994, and produce the records sought by the summonses.                           
            United States v. Administration Co., supra; Exh. 9047--Mem. Op.                             
            and Ord. of May 20, 1994.                                                                   
                  Although Gallenberger appeared before the IRS and testified                           
            and produced some documents on May 24, 1994, she did not search                             
            all of the records in her possession but instead looked in every                            
            fifth, sixth, or seventh file.  On June 10, 1994, the Government                            
            filed with the District Court a motion to hold Gallenberger in                              
            contempt.  On June 22, 1994, the District Court held a further                              
            hearing.  The District Court noted that PSAC operated much like a                           
            registered agent and a document repository primarily for the                                
            benefit of Kanter-related entities, and most of PSAC’s over 2000                            
            files related to Kanter.  United States v. Administration Co., 74                           
            AFTR 2d 94-5256, 94-2 USTC par. 50,480 (N.D. Ill. 1994), affd. 46
