Gilman, Stuart C
The U.S. office of government ethics
In the United States it is assumed that public servants should hold to higher ethical standards that other citizens. In 1978, Congress passed the Ethics in Government Act which, among other things tried to consolidate responsibility for all the conflict of interest issues within the executive branch into a new office. In 1988, this office of the Government Ethics made a separate executive branch agency. The OGE was to be relatively small with a primary responsibility for policy making. Because of the ethics system's uniqueness, the article reviews the general mission of the office, its framework and its administrative structure
