MEMORANDUM

TO:		Designated Agency Ethics Officials, General 
		Counsels and Inspectors General

FROM:		Marilyn L. Glynn
        	General Counsel

SUBJECT:	Reissuance of two Ethics Pamphlets Summarizing the 
		Most Common Post-Employment Restrictions


	The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) is pleased to 
announce the reissuance of two ethics pamphlets summarizing the 
most common post-employment restrictions on what employees can 
do after they leave Government service.  Both pamphlets contain 
slight revisions and have been updated to reflect, among other 
things, a recent statutory change to 18 U.S.C. § 207(d) 
increasing the cooling off period for “very senior” employees 
from one year to two years.  The first pamphlet is entitled, 
“Rules for the Road.” This pamphlet provides brief summaries of 
18 U.S.C. § 207, 18 U.S.C. § 203 and the Procurement Integrity 
Act, and alerts employees to some other possible sources of 
post-employment restrictions. The second pamphlet is entitled, 
“Understanding the Revolving Door: How Ethics Rules Apply to 
Your Job Seeking and Post-Government Employment Activities.” 
This pamphlet provides a general discussion about how the 
Federal ethics laws and restrictions may affect individuals, 
both while looking for a job and after leaving the Government.
