This part, among other things, reflects prohibitions and requirements imposed by the criminal and civil laws of the United States. However, the paraphrased restatements of criminal and civil statutes in no way constitute an interpretation of construction thereof that is binding upon the Federal Government. Moreover, this part does not purport to paraphrase or enumerate all restrictions upon or requirements of Federal employees. The omission of a reference to any such restriction or requirement in no way alters the legal effect of that restriction or requirement.
