Justice Management Division
Serving Justice - Securing Results
There is a general ban on acceptance of gifts from foreign governments
by officers and employees of the United States. However, 5
U.S.C. § 7342 provides for the acceptance of certain gifts from
foreign governments if they do not exceed a minimal value presently set
at $335. All government agencies are required to submit an annual report
to the Secretary of State concerning gifts, including certain travel received
from foreign governments. Each year, the Justice Management Division distributes
a memorandum asking employees to report such gifts.
