Appendix B to Part 73 - Code of Ethics for Government Service
Any person in Government service should:
I. Put loyalty to the highest moral principles and to country
above loyalty to persons, party, or Government department.
II. Uphold the Constitution, laws, and regulations of the United
States and all governments therein and never be a party to their
evasion.
III. Give a full day's labor for a full day's pay, giving
earnest effort and best thought to the performance of duties.
IV. Seek to find and employ more efficient and economical ways
of getting tasks accomplished.
V. Never discriminate unfairly by the dispensing of special
favors or privileges to anyone, whether for remuneration or not;
and never accept, for himself or herself or family members, favors
or benefits under circumstances which might be construed by
reasonable persons as influencing the performance of governmental
duties.
VI. Make no private promises of any kind binding upon the duties
of office, since a Government employee has no private word which
can be binding on public duty.
VII. Engage in no business with the Government, either directly
or indirectly, which is inconsistent with the conscientious
performance of governmental duties.
VIII. Never use any information gained confidentially in the
performance of governmental duties as a means of making private
profit.
IX. Expose corruption wherever discovered.
X. Uphold these principles, ever conscious that public office is
a public trust.
