MEMORANDUM FOR: Special Assistant/Legislative Division/
Office of Congressional Affairs
FROM: Robert W. Magee
Director of Personnel
SUBJDCT: S. 2334--the Proposed "Integrity in Post
Employment Act of 1986"
REFERENCE: Memorandum No. OCA 86-1443, dated 1 May 1986, entitled
Integrity in Post Employment Act - S. 2334
1. We basically support the subject legislation. As we understand it,
the proposed bill would make it a crime for any former federal employee to
lobby for or represent any other person or entity vis-a-vis the U.S.
Government for one year following the end of the former employee's federal
service. There would be a basic two-year prohibition on advising,
representing, assisting, lobbying on behalf of, or accepting employment with
any foreign entity for compensation, financial gain, or other remuneration.
However, former employees who had been employed in positions at Executive
Level I (i.e., the Secretaries of the Cabinet Departments) or Executive Level
II (the Deputy Secretaries of the Cabinet Deparatments, as well as the
Secretaries of the Armed Services and the Directors of Central Intelligence,
the FBI, NASA, OMB, ACDA, FAA, etc.) would be barred for life from serving a
foreign entity. The legislation would preserve the provision in current law
prohibiting a former federal employee from ever representing any other party
(whether a foreign entity or not) vis-a-vis the Government with respect to any
particular matter in which the former employee had participated personally and
substantially while in the federal service.
2. We believe the purposes of S. 2334 are salutary, and that the
"bright-line" prohibitions it would establish would be an improvement over the
more complicated restrictions in current subsections (b)-(d) of section 207 of
title 18, U.S. Code. While the enactment of S. 2334 probably would not
prevent another Edwin Wilson from coming along, the bill still might help
reduce or limit the sale of expertise and inside information by former federal
officials to foreign powers.
