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 of 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 for family members, favors of 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 as a means of making private profit.
IX.
Expose corruption whenever discovered.
X. Uphold these principles, ever conscious that public office is a public trust.
Authority of Public Law 96-303, unanimously passed by the Congress of the United States on June
27th, 1980, and signed by President Carter on July 3rd, 1980.
