§ 1100.9 - Conflict of interest.  


Latest version.
  • (a) All Section employees are bound to refrain from any private business or professional activity which would place them in a position where there is a conflict between their private interests and the public interests of the United States. Even though a technical conflict of interest may not exist, employees must avoid the appearance of such a conflict from a public confidence point of view. (chapter 11 of title 18 of the U.S. Code, enacted by Pub. L. 878-849, effective January 21, 1963, constitutes the basic conflict of interest statutes.)
