Sec. 0.735-18  General conduct prejudicial to the Government.

    (a) General policy. Officers and employees of the Federal Government 
are servants of the people. Because of this, their conduct must, in many 
instances, be subject to more restrictions and to higher standards than 
may be the case in certain private employments. They are expected to 
conduct themselves in a manner which will reflect favorably upon their 
employer. Although the Government is not particularly interested in the 
private lives of its employees, it does expect them to be honest, 
reliable, trustworthy, and of good character and reputation. They are 
expected to be loyal to the Government, and to the department or agency 
in which they are employed.
    (b) Specific policy. An employee shall not engage in criminal, 
infamous, dishonest, immoral, or notoriously disgraceful conduct, or 
other conduct prejudicial to the Government.
    (c) Regulations applicable to public buildings and grounds. Each 
employee is responsible for knowing and complying with regulations of 
the General Services Administration and of the Department of Commerce 
applicable to public buildings and grounds.
