refs, omitted.] Given the lack of a statutory or regulatory definition of the phrase “active conduct of a trade or business” as used in section 936(a), we believe it appropriate to construe that phrase by reference to the Secretary’s definitions of the phrase for other purposes of the Code, bearing in mind Congress’ intent in enacting section 936 as reflected in its legislative history.
