Sec. 706.2  Purpose.



    The maintenance of unusually high standards of honesty, integrity, 

impartiality, and conduct by Government employees and special Government 

employees is essential to assure the proper performance of the 

Government's 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, this part sets forth the 

Commission's regulations covering the agency's employees and special 

Government employees, prescribing standards of conduct and 

responsibilities and governing statements reporting employment and 

financial interests.
