I have been advised that stock ownership
may present an actual or an appearance of
a conflict of interest in accordance with
18 U.S.C. 208[a]. Federal statute prohibits
an employee from participating personally
and substantially for the Government in
any particular matter in which, to his or
her knowledge, he or she has a financial
interest. The Office of Government Ethics
references this statute in the Standards
of Ethical Conduct for the Employees of
the Executive Branch, Section 2635.402.
I must disqualify/recuse
myself from any official duty activities
that involve the above company/corporation.
I understand that I may not participate
personally or substantially as a Government
employee in any matters regarding the above
company/corporation and any matters involving
particular products of this company/corporation
that are currently available or under development
by this company/corporation. Furthermore,
I understand that it would be appropriate
for any matters specifically involving the
above named company/corporation or device
to be processed without consultation with
me. If my action ordinarily would be required,
the appropriate program manager will refer
the matter to another employee. My subordinate
personnel will continue to exercise the
full range of their delegated duties with
respect to any matter involving the company/corporation.
