Here are the basic rules on acceptance of gifts by eop employees
that are most pertinent to the Olympic Tix issue:
Gifts from Outside Sources and the 1996 Olympics
An employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or
accept a gift from a prohibited source or a gift given because of
the employee's official position. A gift is solicited or
accepted because of the employee's official position if it would
not have been offered or given had the employee not held his
position. A gift given indirectly includes any gift given with
the knowledge of an employee to the employee's relative because
of the person's relationship to the employee or any gift given to
a person or organization on the basis of any specification by the
employee.
Definitions:
Gift includes any gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment,
hospitality, loan, forbearance or other item having monetary
value. It does not include anything for which market value is
paid by the employee.
Market Value is the retail cost that the employee would
incur to purchase the gift. It can be ascertained by estimating
the market value by reference to the retail cost of a similar
item of like quality. Additionally, the market value of a gift
of a ticket that entitles the holder to any benefit such as food
and entertainment shall be the face value of the ticket.
Prohibited Source includes any person who is seeking
official action by the employee's agency, does business or seeks
to do business with the employee's agency, conducts activities
that are regulated by the employee's agency, has interested that
may be substantially affected by the performance or
non-performance of the employee's official duties, or who is an
organization the majority of whose members are described above.
