                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
                CHAPTER XVI--OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS
 
PART 2635_STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE EXECUTIVE 
BRANCH--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart F_Seeking Other Employment
 
Sec. 2635.601  Overview.


    This subpart contains a disqualification requirement that applies to 
employees when seeking employment with persons whose financial interests 
would be directly and predictably affected by particular matters in 
which the employees participate personally and substantially. 
Specifically, it addresses the requirement of 18 U.S.C. 208(a) that an 
employee disqualify himself from participation in any particular matter 
that will have a direct and predictable effect on the financial 
interests of a person ``with whom he is negotiating or has any 
arrangement concerning prospective employment.'' See Sec. 2635.402 and 
Sec. 2640.103 of this chapter. Beyond this statutory requirement, it 
also addresses the issues of lack of impartiality that require 
disqualification from particular matters affecting the financial 
interests of a prospective employer when an employee's actions in 
seeking employment fall short of actual employment negotiations.
