SUBJECT:  Ethics Training Workshops - Los Angeles, CA


     The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) will conduct two
identical four-hour training workshops in Los Angeles, CA on
February 11 and February 12, 1997.  These training workshops are
formatted to challenge experienced ethics practitioners with
exercises that go beyond mere case studies.  

     All OGE workshops are FREE to all agencies; however, advanced
registration is required.  To register, please fax a completed
registration form (attached) for the session of your choice to OGE
by Thursday, February 6, 1997.  Registration is handled on a first-come basis and class size is limited to 40 participants per
workshop.  NO TELEPHONE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.  Please fax
completed registration forms to:

               Sheila Powers
               Conference and Training Coordinator 
               FAX Number:  202-208-8039 or 8038

OGE will confirm each student's registration by return fax no later
than one week prior to the requested workshop.

     Because you are our primary means for advertising these
workshops, please circulate this memorandum and the attached
registration forms among your ethics officials in the surrounding
Los Angeles area as soon as possible.

     Please note that these training workshops are not intended to 
be used by agencies in fulfilling the annual ethics training
requirement.

the following cities in FY 1997:  

     Washington, DC (several courses)
     Denver
     Kansas City
