                        Rehearing Denied April 26, 1993.

  26 Cl.Ct. 713.

  AFFIRMED.



  PER CURIAM.

  **1 The Church of Spiritual Technology appeals the judgment of the United

 States Court of Federal Claims, 26 Cl.Ct. 713 (1992), sustaining the

 decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that it was not entitled to

 tax-exempt status under I.R.C. s 501(c)(3) (1982).  On the basis of the

 reasoning set out in the opinion of the Court of Federal Claims, we conclude

 that the Church of Spiritual Technology did not carry its burden of proving

 that it is both organized and operated exclusively for tax-exempt purposes,

 Treas.Reg. s 1.501(c)(3)-1(d)(1)(i)(a), and that it therefore did not

 establish its eligibility under I.R.C. s 501(c)(3).  We affirm.
