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.
