                                       - 32 -                                         
          evidence that petitioners specified in writing that the proceeds            
          be applied to their income tax liability instead.                           
               On the basis of the record before the Court, and with the              
          exception of the failure to pay penalty for income tax year 1997            
          which respondent concedes, petitioners are liable for the taxes,            
          additions to tax, and interest as determined by respondent.  We             
          further find that respondent did not abuse his discretion in                
          rejecting petitioners’ offers-in-compromise.  Thus, respondent's            
          determination that the Federal tax levies were appropriate in               
          these cases is sustained.                                                   
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              


                                                  Decision in docket No.              
                                             2203-05L will be entered under           
                                             Rule 155.                                
                                                  Decision in docket No.              
                                             23547-06L will be entered for            
                                             respondent.
