Title 5 › Part PART IV— - ETHICS REQUIREMENTS › Chapter CHAPTER 131— - ETHICS IN GOVERNMENT › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER II— - OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS › § 13123
When the Director asks, every executive agency must help as much as it can. Agencies must make staff, services, and facilities available and, unless the law forbids it, give the Director any records or information needed to do the Director’s job. The Director may accept and use gifts, donations, property, use of facilities, or services for the Office of Government Ethics on behalf of the United States. The Director cannot accept gifts that conflict with laws or rules or that would require spending appropriated funds the Office does not have. The Director must write rules to decide whether a gift would harm or make the Office look biased or unfair.
