                                           2
                                                                        
  1        other than the property sold, all property held during the holding  period
  2        must qualify under this section.
  3        (4)  If  a  qualifying  taxpayer   reports a capital gain from a trust, no
  4    deduction shall be allowed  under  this  section  unless  the  holding  period
  5    required  in  subsection (3) of this section was satisfied by the grantor, the
