Office of Personnel Report

Week Ending 2 May 1979
(U)
1. Ethics in Government Act: As a result of the Ethics
in Government Act of 1978, e-Retirement Affairs Division
prepared and mailed on 27 April 1979, 42 notices to annuitants,
grades GS-16 and above, informing them that since they were
Agency employees on 1 January 1979 they must file reports of
their financial interest for Calendar Year 1978 if they were
employed for :Longer than sixty days in 1978. In addition, a
report was also required for that portion of 1979 prior to the
date of their retirement. They were advised that the law
provides that these reports will be made available to the public
upon request unless the President grants a waiver in the national
interest; further, that the Agency is currently seeking such a
waiver, but this would in no way affect the requirement to file
a report with the Agency for review. The Director appointed
the Deputy General Counsel to serve as the "designated Agency
official" to receive and review the financial reports submitted
under this Act for a determination of whether reporting individ-
uals are in compliance with applicable conflicts of interests
laws. Annuitants were advised that the review will be performed
by a Financial Disclosure Review Panel which will contact the
individuals if there are any questions with regard to the forms
they :File. Annuitants were sent Standard Form 278 for their
completion and return no later than 15 May 1979. Questions
will be referred to the Office of General Counsel. (U/AIUO)
2. Focus Group Research: The Chief and Deputy Chief of
the Recruitment Divi-sion met the president of our advertising
firm (Gaynor and Ducas) and Dr. Francine Toll on 27 April 1979.
The meeting was to discuss Dr. Toll's report on the focus
group research she had recently completed. The results are
very interesting in terms not only of the appeal to be made in
