SUBJECT: Introductory Ethics Courses in Washington, DC
The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) will conduct four
introductory ethics training courses February 23-24, 1999 in
Washington, DC. Ethics officials are invited to attend any or all
of the scheduled courses. The course titles, dates and times are
listed below:
Public Financial Disclosure 02/23/99 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

The Public Financial Disclosure Review course will focus on
the skills and knowledge required to review and analyze the
Executive Branch Public Financial Disclosure Report (SF 278) to
ensure technical accuracy, identify potential conflicts of interest
and determine appropriate remedial action.
The Misuse of Position course provides a broad overview of
Subpart G and includes a four-step approach to determine whether
proposed actions are prohibited by the misuse subpart.
The Gifts from Outside Sources and Gifts Between Employees
courses are designed to provide a general overview of Subparts B
and C of the Standards of Conduct.
All courses are offered FREE to each agency. However, advance
registration is required. Each person planning to attend MUST
register by faxing a completed registration form to OGE before
Thursday, February 18, 1999. Registration will be handled on a
first-come basis and each course is limited to 40 participants.
Please fax completed registration forms to:
Sheila Powers, OGE Event Coordinator
Fax Number: 202-208-8039 (or 8038)
OGE will confirm each student's registration by return fax
prior to the date of the course. Due to the large volume of
registrations, we ask that registrants NOT follow up on
confirmations. NOTE: NO TELEPHONE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Because you are our primary means for advertising workshops,
please circulate this memorandum with its attachments among your
ethics officials as soon as possible.
