Pursuant to the Ethics in Government Act of 1978,
each department, agency and government eorpnration is
required to designate an official to administer certain
provisions of the Act (a "designated agency ethics official").
Although the Act does not establush specific qualifications,
it was the intent of Congress that the person selected be a
high level officer or employee possessing legal or other
relevant background and sufficient experience to assess
accurately possible relationships between the financial
interests of high level officials and their respective
duties, as well as to administer generally other conflict-
of-interest matters.
The Act contemplates that one person within an agency be
responsible for administering the Act. However, the functions
of the designated agency ethics official may be delegated
to persons of suitable training and experience, under the
supervision of the designated agency official, who retains
ultimate responsibility for ensuring compliance with the Act.
Please provide the name, phone number and mailing
address of your designated official by March-1, 1979. The
person so appointed must file P. financial disclosure state-
ment within 30 days of appointment as required by Section 201(a)
A copy of this statement should be promptly transmitted to
our office pursuant to Section 203(c).
