Dear Nicky:
I too greatly enjoyed our long telephone conversation,
and shall look forward to your next call. You are, as al-
ways, a wise observer of the Panamanian scene.
I am constrained to become personally involved in the
matter you wrote me about on September 11. I did take the
liberty of passing the question along to Mike Kozak at the
State Department, expressing the hope that it could be handled
expeditiously, but I am not in a position to recommend action,
since that is someone else's responsibility. (Division of
responsibility is more precisely marked now than perhaps was
the case in yesteryear.)
In any case, I trust it is resolved rapidly and that
everyone is happy with the outcome. Should those with oper-
ational responsibility chose to approach me, I shall be happy
to respond to their inquiries, of course.
This brings you and Maria Consuelo Sally's and my
affectionate best wishes. Please stay in touch!
Sincerely,

Dear Ted:
It was a great pleasure to say hello both to you
and Sally again and to talk at lenghth (not as much
as desired) about subjects of mutual interest.
Things you told me were estimulating and I hope the
information I gave you was useful. Next time I
travel I will call you again, most likely between
September 27-30.
With this note I ask you a special favor. In
relation to the bank purchase in Florida by the
Kardonski family (second generation, that is Frank,
Fred and Mark), the Office of the Comptroller of
the State of Florida will request from the State
Department information about the Kardonskis and
directors of the purchased bank. I will be one of
such directors. The bank being purchased is a
first rate small bank, the Key Biscayne Bank.
The State Department office receiving the request
will be the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Special
Investigation Branch. If it is no problem to you,
I will very much appreciate your giving the
director of such Bureau references about the
Kardonskis and myself. Frank Kardonski and/or
myself could travel there to meet him at his
earliest convenience. The present owner of the
bank, Mr. Bebe Reboso, wishes to finish the
transaction soon. All of us will appreciate your
support.
Panamá Republica de Panamá
Sorry to inconvenience you with this, but you may
be able to give credible information to the
director of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, as
former Ambassador to Panama and given your
relations at the State Department. Your kind help
is greatly appreciated by all of us.
Again I appreciated the opportunity of talking with
you. I have no doubts we shall put Panama back
where it belongs at the right time.
With warmest personal regards to you and Sally from
Maria Consuelo and myself.
Sincerely yours,

Although our personal acquaintance has been brief, I
feel as if our friendship is decades long. You know of my

that you are still in there pitching. I know it is a frustrating job,
but Lord knows we need somebody of your considerable talents over
there on Latin American and Caribbean affairs.
Warmest regards, and I hope to see you soon.

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20506
September 11, 1989
Dear Miss Esposito:
Thank you for your letter of August 22, just received. Since you
wrote me I have moved from our embassy in Tegucigalpa, Honduras,
to the National Security Council in Washington.
I have been in the Foreign Service for 33 years. Since I
entered, the exam process has evolved, but I believe the general
principle is the same. To pass you need to have absorbed
considerable information of a general sort (reading news
magazines can't hurt), and to be able to think your way through
some challenging analysis. You have to be able to handle the
English language competently (for the written portion). For me
it was the hardest exam I ever took, with the multiple choice
section offering what seemed to be nothing but correct answers -
the trick being to pick the most correct one. Everyone who takes
it agrees: it leaves the candidate drained.
As far as I know the only way to get into the Foreign service is
through the competitive examination process, though at times
special consideration has been given to minorities, so as to
broaden the representativity of the Service. Special efforts
have also been made to attract women and minorities. You should
consult the Bureau of Examiners of the Department of State,
Washington, D.C. 20520.
There are other ways to serve your country in the foreign affairs
field. The United States Information Agency (USIA) is
responsible for promoting better understanding of our country
overseas through information and cultural activities and
programs, and through our embassies and consulates abroad
maintains liaison with the local and international media (radio,
TV and press). The Agency for International Development (AID)
staffs our economic assistance missions that buttress our
diplomatic efforts. We have extensive security assistance
programs overseas, directed by the Department of Defense. The
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has an interest in what is
going on abroad. Peace Corps Volunteers are present in many
parts of the Third World. The Departments of Agriculture and
Commerce have branches that are a part of the foreign affairs
-2-
community, as does Justice (through the Drug Enforcement
Administration) and Treasury (Customs). The Department of
Transportation (through the Coast Guard) also participates in our
foreign affairs efforts. The list goes on Not all
of
these
agencies have the same stringent entrance requirements as do the
three agencies making up the traditional Foreign Service: State,
AID and USIA.
When I was ambassador to Panama (1982-86) I believe there were
over 20 departments, agencies and activities for which I was
responsible. There were fewer in Honduras (1986-89), but my
embassy numbered some 1,350 people. In other words, there is a
lot more to foreign affairs than what strictly is known as the
diplomatic service.
In the traditional Foreign Service, the activities range from
economic affairs (macro-and micro-economics, trade, finance and
banking), to political affairs (internal politics, international
issues), to administrative work (personnel and resources
management, security and communications), to consular affairs
(travel, immigration, services to Americans abroad). The most
difficult areas to get into tend to be economic and political
work. The examination process takes this into account.
As ambassador, my duties were to direct, oversee, and monitor all
U.S. Government activities in the countries to which I was
accredited: diplomatic, economic, commercial, political,
security, intelligence, cultural relations - and whatever else we
were engaged in. For example, in Honduras I was responsible for
managing our relationship with the Nicaraguan Resistance. In
Panama, besides the usual duties, I chaired a body responsible
for ensuring the close coordination of our diplomatic relations,
administration of the Canal, and our military presence.
You mention the possibility of doing charitable work as a way of
gaining credit for later entry into the foreign affairs field.
This per se would not qualify a candidate, except that examiners
are always interested in previous occupations, and such work
would seem to indicate an interest in public service, a key
element of what motivates most of us. I would suggest for your
consideration looking into the Peace Corps. Many former
Volunteers find they like working for their country abroad, and
are later drawn to one of the branches of the Foreign Service.
It is a ground-level introduction to what America is about, and
-3-
can also serve as a springboard to other sorts of jobs in the
private sector. (In Honduras there are some 300 private
voluntary organizations, many of which benefit from the
participation of former Volunteers.)
Good luck. I hope some of this may be helpful to you.
Sincerely,
Everett PREPIP Ellis Briggs

Dear
Mr Briggs
My name is Elizabeth Esposito and I am a
History/Political Science student at the University of New
Hampshire. As I will be graduating in May, 1990 I have started
researching about job opportunities through the Career
Placement Office. Thus, it was through the Parent networking
system that I learned of your career and address. I. thought by
writing a letter to you would help me decide wether or not to
pursue your career.
I have always wanted to work in International Politics
since I was fourteen years old. For a while, I thought the
Foreign Service was the onle agency I could work for, due to
this interest. However, after doing some extensive research about
this service during my University years, and visiting Embassies
in Bonn, East Berlin ,London and Warsaw, my goals were dampened
by the extreme difficulty of getting into the Foreign
Service. (Due to the Difficult written and oral recruitment
exam).
I would like you to explain to me how you prepared
for this exam. Did you read Time Magazine word for word for one
year? or did you take a Foreign Service Examination Prep
course? What is the best way now a days to prepare for the
Foreign Service Exam?
Would you also please explain to me what sorts of
duties you are responsible for? This would be very helpful in
deciding wether to take a stab at the Foreign Service Exam or
not. I have read alot about the Service, but still that isn't as
good as actually working there. Hence, my reason for contacting
you. I realise you might not be able to answer all my questions
due to political confidentality. I thakyou for all you efforts
anyways.
Just a few more questions. Is there any way into
the Foreign Service bypassing the Exam? (like doing charity
ND work for some organization) ? How much would a Internship in the
State Department be useful for preparation to take the Exam?
How difficult is it to be selected for this program?
Thankyou
for all your time and help. Elisabeth Enposit

Dear Mr. Post:
Thank you for your note of August 24. It is always a pleasure to
hear from colleagues of my father.
This administration has supported the Central American
democracies in their effort to bring peace through democracy to
Nicaragua. We support the establishment of secure and democratic
conditions inside Nicaragua, so that the thousands of Nicaraguans
who joined the Resistance or who became refugees abroad may
return to their homes and resume normal lives.
As you know, we are currently providing humanitarian assistance
to 60,000 contras who sought sanctuary in Honduras when the
Sandinistas refused to abide by their agreement with the
Resistance -- reached at Sapoa -- to allow them to receive this
assistance inside Nicaragua. We note that disarming and
resettling these people, according to the Tela Accord, is to be
voluntary -- i.e., have the support of the contras themselves.
That support, in turn, will depend on the willingness of the
Sandinistas, at long last, to abide by the promises they made to
the OAS in 1979, repeated to the Contadora group, repeated in the
Esquipulas II Agreement (Arias Plan), repeated at Alajuela (San
Jose), and at Sapoa.
That the Resistance may be somewhat skeptical of Sandinista
intentions, after SO many promises, is understandable. Their
skepticism has been fueled by verified reports -- including by
Americas Watch and other independent observers -- of a program of
systematic repression of the populace by the Sandinista Party's
military units in areas loyal to the Resistance. (Remember that
the contras moved freely over 75 percent of their country before
the U.S. shut off lethal aid in February of last year.)

The Sandinistas have made some tentative concessions to the
internal opposition. A popular opposition candidate has now been
chosen. We should all keep our fingers crossed about the
election, and our eyes wide open.
I see no reason true believers in the "ideals of law and self-
government under law" (your felicitous words) should not measure
the Sandinistas by the same standards as pertain in genuine
democracies everywhere. In that regard, the Sandinista system
(which combines State, Party and Army -- something most people
would find an intolerable impediment to campaigning and
electioneering) still has a long way to go.
I'm enclosing a copy of Vice President Quayle's recent speech on
this subject. I hope you' 11 enjoy it; and thanks again for your
thoughtful letter.

Dear Ambassador Kintner:
Thanks for your good letter, and for sending me a copy of Ed
Corr's letter to you. (I try to stay in close touch with Ed. He
is our top expert on Latin America, though not recognized as such
by the current establishment.)
Ed hits the nail on the head. Our policy was working, until the
Voice of Central America called upon Congress to stop lethal aid
to the Resistance. The final chapter would be to offer the
Resistance a choice: "voluntarily" to demobilize in exchange for
"volunteering" to continue eating. This must be avoided. It
would be dishonorable.
Since it did not get the attention it deserved, I wonder if you
saw the Vice President's strong statement to the Veterans of
Foreign Wars? I'll enclose a copy.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,
Everett PEPP Ellis Briggs

Dear Bill,
I much appreciated your recent letter enclosing the August 11 Evans-
Novack column on "Bush's Failed Nicaragua Policy," and your suggestion that
the President name a commission to review policy on Central America. Should
such a commission be created, I would very much like to be a part of it.
That the five Central American presidents agreed at Tela to a time
schedule for the demobilization of the armed Nicaraguan Democratic
Resistance (the "Contras") prior to Nicaraguan elections scheduled for
February 25, 1990 is unfortunate, since it relieves pressures on the
Sandinistas to hold honest and democratic elections. My opinion is that the
Sandinistas have made concessions to opening their political system only
under pressure, and that the Contras have been the most effective
instrument of that pressure.
Even now that is the case. The Sandinistas made further concessions
regarding elections and campaign procedures to the internal democratic
opposition on the eve of the Tela meeting. They did SO as a means to try
again to get rid of the armed opposition.
Nevertheless, I do not regard the current Administration's (nor the
last's) policy on Central America to be a failure. To the contrary, I
believe that given the lack of bipartisan consensus on Central America and
despite the perseverence of the Sandinistas, the policy has had considerable
success.
In 1980 there were four dictatorships in Central America and one
democracy (Costa Rica). Today, there are four countries with the democratic
form of government and one dictatorship (Nicaragua). Ten years after Castro
came to power in Cuba a Marxist-Leninist regime was fully consolidated on
that island, and there was no chance of dislodging it short of a politically
and economically costly large invasion. Today, the Sandinistas are in a
very unstable situation and the possibility of change still exists. I do
not regard this as failure.
Our fundamental objectives in Central America were to prevent the
establishment of a Soviet satellite state on the America's land mass, to
stop Sandinista subversion of their neighbors, and to promote democracy and
development. United States Government support for the Contras and recent
changes in the USSR have gone a long way toward attaining our goal of
impeding a hostile Soviet Union from creating a military/espionage base in
Nicaragua. We must focus more on Sandinista subversion, which continues.
The attainment of these two objectives would then permit us to deal with
Nicaragua much as we do other non-democratic states.
Returning to the Tela presidential agreement, I note that the
demobilization is stipulated to be "voluntary," and based on Nicaragua
having met its commitments to democratize. The Sandinistas are unlikely to
do this. It will be American division on the policy and Congressional
withdrawal of non-lethal support that could force demobilization.
These are rambling comments for your reflection. I do think considering
a commission of experts has merit. Such a commission would have to be
balanced politically to have credibility. I believe that reason is strong
for persistence in pursuing our four original objectives, which remain
valid, and that our nation's interests would prevail in the findings of a.
balanced commission of experts.
Hearing from you was a treat! As I have worked and studied here in
Oklahoma I have thought of you--and fondly-often.
With warm regards.
Sincerely,
Ea

Dear Oscar:
It was extremely thoughtful of you to send along copies of the
photographs you took on our memorable trip to Bolivia. Un lindo
recuerdo. Many thanks.
And thanks, too, for the information about Cabrillo. Do you
suppose the ancient Portuguese made the H look like an M (as the
J is depicted as an I, in Ioao) ? I recall that the original
statue identified the gent as João Rodrigues Cabrilho. The LH in
Portuguese is exactly equivalent to the true Castilian LL (elye,
not e-ye).
In case you ever wondered about the ex-Congressman, his name in
Portuguese would sound like Co-El-yu, not Co-elo. It means
rabbit, as in conejo. (Heck of a name for a politician, anyway.)
It was a great pleasure traveling with you and the distinguished
delegation to Paz Zamora's inauguration. Please let me know if I
may be of any assistance to you here in Washington.

Dear Ted:
I have been waiting for the enclosed photos to be processed
before writing to tell you how proud and honored I felt to
be part of the delegation to the presidential inauguration
in La Paz, Bolivia. It was an experience that I shall long
remember and cherish.
Along with the photograph's, I am also enclosing copies of
news articles relating to the change in administration in
Bolivia that I thought you might appreciate.
I am also enclosing two photos on the name of Juan Rodrigues
Cabrillo. You will note that while the name inscribed on the
statue reads "IOAO RODRIGUES CABRILMO" (sic), the reverse side
of each postcard identifies the explorer as "JUAN RODRIGUEZ
CABRILLO." Strange. The pronounciation of his name is also
confusing among local residents. Some pronouce it CAB-RILO,
while others say CAB-REEO. My Portuguese friends say the
correct way is, CAB-RILO, and the spelling should be RODRIQUES.
If I can ever be of any assistance to you, please be assured
that you have a devoted friend in San Diego.
Sincerely Oban and respectfully,
Oscar Padilla

It was good to see you once again on my recent trip to

schedule to spend some time with me.
I also look forward to your counsel as to what you think I

with you on my next trip that way and hopefully, we'll have an
opportunity to discuss it further.
I appreciate your interest in the Mexican-US Attorney

posted. We would like to make this Border Conference,
particularly if it's held in New Mexico, something meaningful and
useful for all of the attendees.
I thought you would like to have a copy of the Albuquerque

that Tom Gillespie was able to persuade the press here in New

well.
Please keep in touch and let us know how we can be of help.

Dear Ambassador Briggs:
On February 25, 1988 the Constitutional President of Panama, Eric
A. Delvalle took the courageous and patriotic decision to dismiss
General Manuel Antonio Noriega as Commander of the Panama Defense
Forces when he refused to separate from the position and make
himself available to be investigated for the charges known to all
of us. This led to President Delvalle's ousting, the instalation
of an illegitimate regime, and a struggle in which the Panamanian
people have tried unsuccesfully to topple the dictatorship, regain
its freedom, and establish a democratic system in our country.
Throughout this ordeal, the Panamanian people have found support
from countries and friends who cherish democratic ideals; this
support has been an important stimulus to the people of Panama who
face a corrupt dictator, whose personal ambitions are above the
interest of the country.
On August 31, 1989 the Constitutional mandate of President Delvalle
will come to an end; by refusing to resign, and lead the fight
against General Noriega, despite the limitations of a forced
underground and eventual exile, the principle of civilian
leadership has been upheld, and while it is true that Noriega still
controls power in Panama, it is also true that President Delvalle's
unbending moral stand has been a permanent force in the weakening
of the dictatorship.
As President Delvalle's Constitutional mandate comes to an end, so
will his Embassy in Washington, which I have had the privilege to
direct as his personal representative. During my tenure as
Ambassador of Panama to the Government of President Reagan and
President Bush, one of the most rewarding experiences of my life
has been working closely with friends like you, and receive the
understanding and encouragement needed in this difficult period
that my country, my family, and in general all Panamanians have
gone through.
In the absence of a legitimate government to receive the Embassy
on September 1, the closing of the Embassy of Panama in Washington
signifies the strict adherance to a constitutional principle and
not a claudication of a fight. As a citizen of Panama, commited to
see freedom, justice, and democracy regained in my country, I will
continue the struggle until Panamanians can look to the future with
optimism that they may see their hopes and dreams realized. I am
convinced that you will continue to support Panama and the
Panamanians in our quest for freedom, until this aspiration is
achieved.
On behalf of President Delvalle, and the Embassy of Panama in
Washington and its staff, I would like to thank you for the support
given to our cause and to me personally.
Best personal regards.
Cordially,

Dear Ted:
I was most pleased to have the opportunity to meet with you
last Monday and to have a chance to reintroduce myself.
Supporting the Reagan-Bush and now Bush-Quayle policies in
Central America and the peace process have been a major
personal priority. Having an opportunity to discuss some of
the present conditions I am witnessing was important to me.
A quick recap of some of these points has been made in the
transition paper I prepared for the Bush transition team.
1. The Reagan Administration lost control of the Central
American issue to Congress beginning in 1986.
2. This loss of control created the impression that the
Administration was looking at other priorities, and once
again, the U.S. was downgrading the problems of Central and
Latin America.
3. The Bush Administration has had a number of opportunities
to regain control of the issues but apparently has decided
not to.
4. I am sensing an increasing lack of support and leadership
from the Administration on the Caribbean Basin Initiative.
CBI II could have been a reality, but there has been a lack
of effective lobbying from the Administration in support of
it.
5. The Reagan Administration, initially through Secretary
Baldridge and then Secretary Verity, caused the Caribbean
Basin Business Promotion Council to be formed as advisors to
the Secretary and Special Trade Representative. It appears

that this council, which can play a very important contribu-
ting role, will be ground into nothingness in the geograph-
ical battles now in existence in Commerce's ITA.
6. Former President Carter appears to be positioning himself
and his Institute as principal observers of the Nicaraguan
election process. His principal advisor is Robert Pastor,
who was his principal advisor on the Somoza downfall, a
situation which could have been handled in a more positive
and successful manner.
In spite of these negative observations, I continue to be an
optimist and believe that it is still not too late for the
Bush Administration to regain the "high ground". It would
appear that Vice President Dan Quayle is the apparent "chief
spear carrier" for the Administration. He has been to
Central America twice, and I hear from other sources that he
is apparently the man to talk to on Central America.
At the Monday RNC meeting at which he spoke at lunch, I had
a brief moment with him and told him I was meeting with you,
and he suggested that a meeting could be arranged through
your office for me to meet with him to highlight some of the
perceived problems and possible opportunities for handling
those.
I will call you the middle of next week to see how we
proceed in possibly getting a date. I leave you with one
important observation. The demise of the Caribbean Basin
Business Promotion Council at Commerce would be a tragic
mistake. Politics are the art of the possible, and if the
Administration takes the proper initiatives, history will
credit President George Bush with having been a major player
in bringing democracy, peace, and eventual prosperity to
Central America.
Again, it was a great pleasure to visit with you again. You
have my deepest respect.
Sincerely,
Cammin Cal

Thank you ever so much for sending me the signed photo-

I think it came out very well; and I am, of course, delighted
to have it. Thank you also for the photograph including the
President, Jim Baker and yourself which I am likewise extremely
pleased to have. Essentially, three of the men in that photo-

Congratulations on what the President, Jim and you

success.

EXECUTIVE ORDER
PRINCIPLES OF ETHICAL CONDUCT
FOR GOVERNMENT OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by
the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, and
in order to establish fair and exacting standards of ethical
conduct for all executive branch employees, it is hereby
ordered as follows:
PART I - PRINCIPLES OF ETHICAL CONDUCT
Section 101. Principles of Ethical Conduct. To
ensure that every citizen can have complete confidence in the
integrity of the Federal Government, each Federal employee
shall respect and adhere to the fundamental principles of
ethical service as implemented in regulations promulgated
under sections 201 and 301 of this order:
(a) Public service is a public trust, requiring
employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws, and
ethical principles above private gain.
(b) Employees shall not hold financial interests that
conflict with the conscientious performance of duty.
(c) Employees shall not engage in financial transactions
using nonpublic Government information or allow the improper
use of such information to further any private interest.
(d) An employee shall not, except pursuant to such
reasonable exceptions as are provided by regulation, solicit
or accept any gift or other item of monetary value from any
person or entity seeking official action from, doing business
with, or conducting activities regulated by the employee's
agency, or whose interests may be substantially affected by
the performance or nonperformance of the employee's duties.
(e) Employees shall put forth honest effort in the
performance of their duties.
(f) Employees shall make no unauthorized commitments or
promises of any kind purporting to bind the Government.
(g) Employees shall not use public office for private
gain.
(h) Employees shall act impartially and not give
preferential treatment to any private organization or
individual.
(i) Employees shall protect and conserve Federal
property and shall not use it for other than authorized
activities.

activities, including seeking or negotiating for employment,
that conflict with official Government duties and
responsibilities.
(k) Employees shall disclose waste, fraud, abuse, and
corruption to appropriate authorities.
(1) Employees shall satisfy in good faith their
obligations as citizens, including all just financial
obligations, especially those -- such as Federal, State, or
local taxes -- that are imposed by law.
(m) Employees shall adhere to all laws and regulations
that provide equal opportunity for all Americans regardless
of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or
handicap.
(n) Employees shall endeavor to avoid any actions
creating the appearance that they are violating the law or the
ethical standards promulgated pursuant to this order.
Sec. 102. Limitations on Outside Earned Income. No
employee who is appointed by the President to a full-time

full-time employees in the White House Office and the Office
of Policy Development, shall receive any earned income for any
outside employment or activity performed during that
Presidential appointment.
PART II - OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS AUTHORITY
Sec. 201. The Office of Government Ethics. The Office
of Government Ethics shall be responsible for administering

an ethics reference manual for employees of the executive
branch describing the applicable statutes, rules, decisions,

title 18, United States Code, and the statute prohibiting
supplementation of salaries, section 209 of title 18,
United States Code.
(d) Promulgating, in consultation with the Attorney
General and the Office of Personnel Management, regulations
establishing a system of nonpublic (confidential) financial
disclosure by executive branch employees to complement the
system of public disclosure under the Ethics in Government Act
of 1978. Such regulations shall include criteria to guide
agencies in determining which employees shall submit these
reports.
(e) Ensuring that any implementing regulations issued by
agencies under this order are consistent with and promulgated
in accordance with this order.

financial disclosure reports, all employees who are
contracting officers and procurement officials, and any other
employees designated by the agency head.

with the Office of Government Ethics prior to granting any
exemption under section 208 of title 18, United States Code,
and provide the Director of the Office of Government Ethics a
copy of any exemption granted.
(e) Ensure that the rank, responsibilities, authority,
staffing, and resources of the Designated Agency Ethics
Official are sufficient to ensure the effectiveness of the
agency ethics program. Support should include the provision
of a separate budget line item for ethics activities, where
practicable.

provided in section 402 and except in the case of the head of

§ 208. Acts affecting a personal financial interest
(a) Except as permitted by subsection (b) hereof, whoever, being an officer or
employee of the executive branch of the United States Government, of any indepen-
dent agency of the United States, a Federal Reserve bank director, officer, or
employee, or of the District of Columbia, including a special Government employee,
participates personally and substantially as a Government officer or employee,
through decision, approval, disapproval, recommendation, the rendering of advice,
investigation, or otherwise, in a judicial or other proceeding, application, request for
a ruling or other determination, contract, claim, controversy, charge, accusation,
arrest, or other particular matter in which, to his knowledge, he, his spouse, minor
child, partner, organization in which he is serving as officer, director, trustee,
partner or employee, or any person or organization with whom he is negotiating or
has any arrangement concerning prospective employment, has a financial interest-
Shall be fined not more than $10,000, or imprisoned not more than two years, or

the Government official responsible for appointment to his position of the nature and
circumstances of the judicial or other proceeding, application, request for a ruling or
other determination, contract, claim, controversy, charge, accusation, arrest, or other
particular matter and makes full disclosure of the financial interest and receives in
advance a written determination made by such official that the interest is not so
substantial as to be deemed likely to affect the integrity of the services which the
Government may expect from such officer or employee, or (2) if, by general rule or

sible for appointment.
