The Tax Corrections Act," aimed initially at making refinements in the massive tax overhaul legislation of 1986, also contained a provision ordering the government to buy more than 540 acres of property bordering the Civil War battlefield at Manassas, Va. Developers planned to build a shopping wall and business complex on the tract.

The "taxpayers' bill of rights" was inserted by lawmakers who wanted to rein in what some said was an overly aggressive IRS. The legislation, among other things, would require the agency to give 30 days' notice before seizing bank accounts and other property. The IRS also would be barred from promoting employees on the basis of how much they collect from taxpayers. The tax bill, which Reagan signed without comment before a weekend visit to Camp David, was the last miijor measure Congress passed before adjourning on Oct. 23.

The president must still act on several other bills, including bipartisan legislation to pour more money into the anti-drug effort and to authorize the death penalty for drug kingpins who murder law enforcement officers during the commission of narcotics-related crimes. The tax bill initially was designed to clear up confusing language and to correct errors in he landmark tax overhaul. But after it was amended, the measure ended up extending some expiring tax benefits, adding some new ones for selected groups, and raising approximately $4.1 billion in taxes, including a 45-cent-a-pound tax on pipe tobacco, to raise the revenue. The measure would have no effect on the federal deficit. Although it would cut taxes by $4.1 billion over three years, it would raise others by the same amount.

Roger and Ron, and a sister, Mary Ann Wait. Her grandfather, William Berth, lives in Waldo. Everyone close to Shelly has been on an emotional seesaw this past year, says Robert. They move between hope that Shelly is alive and dread that she has been murdered. "You can't know what this family is going through," he says.

"Not knowing is the worst of it." Just days before Shelly disappeared, she telephoned Robert and her mother. Robert recalls: "She told us she was pregnant; she was happy about it and even had some names picked out for her baby. She was very excited and said the father had prom-, ised her money, child support if she would keep his name secret." Shelly would not tell her family anything about the father. Later, through a sheriff department investigator, the Hansen family learned that Shelly had visited a Phillips area clinic for a fetal sonogram an ultrasound image showing the muscle and bone outline of the child. Shelly told her family she was about two to three months pregnant.

Later she took the sonogram to work to show her friends but, when investigators searched for it, it was missing. Her family speculates Shelly carried the image with her when she drove to the parking lot at Lake Ten. After her Phillips' apartment was combed for clues, Shelly's personal possessions were taken to the home of her brother, Ron, who lived in Park Falls at the time. Two days later, all her things were burned Carla Lenz, 17, was murdered. Her remains were found two months ago in a shallow grave outside the small northwoods town, about four miles from Shelly Hansen's apartment.

John R. Weber, the man accused of torturing and killing Carla Lenz, was charged after he tortured and nearly killed his wife, Emily Lenz Weber, 21, Carta's sister. While Robert Hansen speculates about a possible connection between the disappearance of his sister and the sadistic torture of the two young Phillips women, so does Price County Sheriff Wayne Wirsing. "I wonder like everyone else; I think it's curious," said Wirsing in a telephone interview last week. "Weber's not saying anything: he won't discuss, anything with us." Weber's lawyer has advised him to remain silent, the sheriff explained.

In court last week, Weber entered a plea of not guilty in the Carla Lenz murder. A psychiatric exam will determine if he is competent to go on trial for killing his sister-in-law and torturing his wife. The bizarre nature of the killing and torture of Carla Lenz was revealed in a tape recording found in Weber's car. And, the outrageous acts described by Weber were duplicated later with Weber's wife, Emily, the victim. Hospitalized for 16 days in intensive care, Emily Weber testified against her husband at a preliminary hearing in October.

Aware of the horrors inflicted on the two sisters mutilation with needles, burning, beating and sexual assault Shelly Hansen's family hopes there is no connection Robert Hansen holds a 1 982 photo of his sister, Shelly in a fire that leveled Ron Hansen's home. Fire inspectors said the blaze was caused by an overheated woodburning stove. During the time Ron Hansen and his wife, Wendy, lived in Park Falls (18 miles from Phillips), they saw Shelly often. She was described by Wendy as "very close to Ron." But, even Ron was not told who had fathered the child. "Except for the family.

Shelly more or less stayed to herself," says Wendy. There wasn't anyone she was really close to in Phillips. Shelly was quiet and pretty easygoing."

But once she's in the new home, she'll have plenty of space to operate her consulting business. Clegg feels records management is very important, not only for large businesses, but also for small ones.

The neem oil is a natural product extracted from the seeds. It contains a complex molecule, azadirachtin, that protects plants against more than 160 insects, Larson said.
