MEMORANDUM

TO:            Designated Agency Ethics Officials

FROM:          Barbara A. Mullen-Roth
               Associate Director, Education
                 and Program Services Division

SUBJECT:       11th Annual Government Ethics Conference,
               December 4 - 6, 2001
          

     The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) has rescheduled the 11th
Annual Government Ethics Conference for December 4-6, 2001 at the
Cavalier Hotels in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  

     We plan to offer the same conference program that was announced
for the recently canceled conference in Norfolk.  To date, almost
every panelist is willing and able to conduct their sessions in
Virginia Beach.

     As Amy Comstock, Director of OGE, stated in her memo dated
September 14, 2001, this conference will serve as the FY 2002
conference, replacing the conference previously scheduled for
September 2002.  The 12th Annual Government Ethics Conference will be
held in FY 2003. OGE regrets that it is unable to provide any type of
refund or credit for the recently canceled conference because most of
the expense was incurred prior to and during the time we were in
Norfolk.  However, on a more positive note, the conference fee will
be reduced from $300 to $275 and lodging for the Virginia Beach area
in December is $55 compared to $109 for September.

     The attached conference Information Sheet provides all the
logistical information you will need to register and make your own
lodging reservations for the 11th Annual Government Ethics Conference. 
The Conference registration deadline is October 19, 2001 and lodging
reservations must be made by November 9, 2001.  Due to the short time
frame for registering for this conference, please submit your
registration forms as soon as possible.
