Comment on FR Doc # E9-27309

I am an acquisition executive in the Department of Defense. I have reviewed the rule and find that it is needed. Often, qualified contractors working in our acquisition offices use their inside information for personal investments. While illegal, this is not well regulated. Contractors should be required to ensure that the personal conflicts don’t exist when hiring and then on a regular basis after hiring. Need to ensure that the employees also don’t attempt to get around the rules by selling assets just prior to questionnaire and then repurchasing. Questionnaires must include “any time” over the reporting period.
