Sec. 10.735-101  Purpose.


    The maintenance of the highest standards of honesty, integrity, 
impartiality, and conduct by Government employees and special Government 
employees is essential to assure the proper performance of the 
Government business and the maintenance of confidence by citizens in 
their Government. The avoidance of misconduct and conflicts of interest 
on the part of Government employees and special Government employees 
through informed judgment is indispensable to the maintenance of these 
standards. To accord with these concepts the regulations in this part 
prescribe standards of conduct and responsibilities for employees and 
special Government employees and require statements reporting employment 
and financial interests.
    Note: These regulations are codified in State 3 FAM 620, AID 
Handbook 24, and ICA MOA V-A 550.
