MEMORANDUM
TO: Designated Agency Ethics Officials, General Counsels,
Inspectors General, and Agency and Department Printing
Officers
FROM: Stephen D. Potts
Director
SUBJECT: Publication of Materials Updating The Informal Advisory
Letters and Memoranda and Formal Opinions of the United
States Office of Government Ethics
The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) has provided the
Government Printing Office (GPO) with materials to update The
Informal Advisory Letters and Memoranda and Formal Opinions of the
United States Office of Government Ethics. These new materials
include letters and memoranda ("guidance") issued by OGE in 1998,
a new index covering guidance issued from 1990 through 1998, a new
binder, and a label for volume III of the OGE guidance. The actual
cost of the materials will not be determined until after the rider
closes. We anticipate that it will not exceed $15.00.
If you wish to ride OGE's order, an SF-1, Printing and Binding
Requisition Form, should be sent to GPO no later than October 8,
1999. Please include with your order the GPO jacket number, 457-
792, and the full title -- 1998 Update of the Informal Advisory
Letters and Memoranda and Formal Opinions of the United States
Office of Government Ethics. GPO's address and fax number are:
United States Government Printing Office
Room C830
North Capitol and H Streets, NW.
Washington, DC 20401
Fax Number: 202-512-1260
An instruction sheet will be included in the package of new
materials to assist with their placement in the binders.
If you do not order the new materials by October 8, 1999, you
will not be precluded from purchasing them. We anticipate that
they will be available for purchase -- albeit at a higher price --
from the GPO bookstore and through the Superintendent of Documents.
In addition, the 1998 guidance is currently available for
viewing, searching, and downloading on the OGE Web Site at
www.usoge.gov. The guidance will also be included in the next
issue of the Ethics CD-ROM. Ordering information for the Ethics
CD-ROM may be obtained from the OGE Web Site.
