MEMORANDUM

TO:       Designated Agency Ethics Officials

FROM:     Barbara A. Mullen-Roth
          Associate Director for Education

SUBJECT:  Last Chance to Order "Ethics: Know the Code"


     The deadline for ordering the newest Office of Government
Ethics (OGE) ethics video, "Ethics: Know the Code," is fast
approaching. The initial announcement, dated January 24, 2000 (DT-
00-002), indicated that, due to special licensing requirements
pertaining to the use of the DILBERT  animated characters, all
orders for the video must be received on or before April 15, 2000.

     This motivational video focuses on the "Code of Ethics" as
embodied in the 14 Principles of Ethical Conduct. The video casts
Stephen D. Potts, Director of OGE, opposite the comic strip
characters, DILBERT and Dogbert in a debate over the question: "Do
Government employees know 'The Code?' " One of the highlights of
this new video is a montage of real Government employees from 10
different agencies and their candid and honest comments on the
basic principles of ethical conduct.

     With a running time of approximately 12 minutes, this video is 
ideally suited for use both as an introduction to annual ethics
briefings and as an orientation for new employees.  The cost is
$20.00 plus shipping (details on attached order form).  Orders are
being collected by OGE and forwarded to INFOCUS in Herndon, VA, the
distributor for the video.

     Please use the attached order form and fax it back to Kaneisha
Cunningham by April 15, 2000 on 202-208-8039.

     OGE would appreciate receiving your feedback on this video. 
A short evaluation form is attached for employees to complete after
they have watched the video.  Instructions for returning the
evaluations to OGE can be found on the form.
