Sec. 3.11  Responsibility of chief of mission to inform host government of restrictions on employees' receipt of gifts and decorations.

    A special provision of the Act requires the President to direct 
every chief of a United States diplomatic mission to inform the host 
government that it is a general policy of the United States Government 
to prohibit its employees from receiving gifts of more than minimal 
value or decorations that have not been tendered ``in recognition of 
active field service in time of combat operations or awarded for other 
outstanding or unusually meritorious performance.'' Accordingly, all 
Chiefs of Mission shall in January of each year conduct a thorough and 
explicit program of orientation aimed at appropriate officials of the 
host government concerning the operation of the Act.
