                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
                CHAPTER XVI--OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS
 
PART 2637_REGULATIONS CONCERNING POST EMPLOYMENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST--Table 
 
                    Subpart B_Substantive Provisions
 
Sec. 2637.209  Partners of present or former Government employees.

    (a) Scope. Section 207(g) of 18 U.S.C. prohibits a partner of a 
current Government employee from acting as agent or attorney before the 
United States in a particular Government matter in which such Government 
employee participates, or did participate, personally and substantially. 
To the extent such section involves the activities of current Government 
employees and their partners, it is beyond the scope of these 
regulations.
    (b) Imputation. Neither the Act nor these regulations impute the 
restrictions on former employees to partners or associates of such 
employees. Imputation of the restrictions of sections 207 (b)(ii) and 
(c) to partners of former employees would be inappropriate for the 
additional reason that section 207(b)(ii) itself restricts secondary-
level activity, and section 207(c) is directed at the exercise of 
influence personal to the former Senior Employee.
