SUBJECT: Conflict of Interest

25X1A
1. This is to set out procedures to be followed in processing
requests for an exemption in cases of conflict of interest under
HR
2. A conflict of interest may be described as an encounter
between an Agency emp 0gee's personal economic interest and the
duties and responsibilities he owes the Agency as its employee.
Such a situation is a concern to the Agency because of the criminal
penalties prescribed. While an actual conflict-of-interest situation
may never be condoned, the Director may grant an exemption in cases
where the conflict is one of appearance only and can be justified by
operational considerations.
3. To process a request for an exemption, your statement of
fact should first be submitted to the General Counsel for his opinion
as to whether the described circumstances constitute a conflict of
interest. If in his opinion a conflict does exist but you believe an
exemption to be warranted, your request should then be submitted to
the Director for his consideration. Your submission should set forth
grounds supporting your request. As attachments, copies of your
statement of fact and the General Counsel'a. opinion should be appended.
