Description
In its preadjournment rush, the ninety-fifth Congress granted the President's request for legislation by passing the Ethics in Government Act. For the ordinary federal employee, the changes were relatively minor: the existing one-year ban on appearing before one's agency with respect to any matter within one's former "official responsibility" was extended to two years. This Article will discuss the controversy over the Act in its historical context, organize specific issues for systematic analysis, evaluate the various criticisms of postemployment activity, and propose a simpler, more direct way of regulating the truly objectionable features of such activity.
