Congress.**

**[CODE OF ETHICS FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICE]{.underline}**

Resolved by the House of Representatives {the Senate concurring}, That
it is the sense of the Congress that the following Code of Ethics should
be adhered to by all Government employees, including officeholders:

**[CODE OF ETHICS FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICE]{.underline}**

**Any person in Government service should:**

**1.** Put loyalty to the highest moral principals and to country above
loyalty to Government persons, party, or department.

**2.** Uphold the Constitution, laws, and legal regulations of the
United States and of all governments therein and never be a party to
their evasion.

**3.** Give a full day\'s labor for a full day\'s pay; giving to the
performance of his duties his earnest effort and best thought.

**4.** Seek to find and employ more efficient and economical ways of
getting tasks accomplished.

**5.** Never discriminate unfairly by the dispensing of special favors
or privileges to anyone, whether for remuneration or not; and never
accept for himself or his family, favors or benefits under circumstances
which might be construed by reasonable persons as influencing the
performance of his governmental duties.

**6.** 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.

**7.** Engage in no business with the Government, either directly or
indirectly which is inconsistent with the conscientious performance of
his governmental duties.

**8.** Never use any information coming to him confidentially in the
performance of governmental duties as a means for making private profit.

**9.** Expose corruption wherever discovered.

**10.** Uphold these principles, ever conscious that public office is a
public trust.

(Passed July 11, 1958.)
