MEMORANDUM
TO: Designated Agency Ethics Officials, General Counsels
and Inspectors General
FROM: Stephen D. Potts
Director
SUBJECT: Summary of Ethical Requirements Applicable to Special
Government Employees
In recent years, we have noted increasing demand from agency
officials for guidance concerning the various ethical requirements
applicable to special Government employees (SGE). In response, we
have prepared the attached summary: "Conflict of Interest and the
Special Government Employee." It is our hope that this document
will become a convenient tool for all agency officials who have to
counsel SGEs or otherwise deal with the unique ethical issues posed
by SGEs. In this connection, we specifically ask that you
disseminate this summary to other components within your own
organization, such as regional offices, that you think may
encounter questions pertaining to SGEs.
