§ 13123 — Administrative Provisions

(a) Upon the request of the Director, each executive agency is directed to— (1) make its services, personnel, and facilities available to the Director to the greatest practicable extent for the performance of functions under this chapter; and (2) except when prohibited by law, furnish to the Director all information and records in its possession which the Director may determine to be necessary for the performance of the Director’s duties. (1) The Director is authorized to accept and utilize on behalf of the United States, any gift, donation, bequest, or devise of money, use of facilities, personal property, or services for the purpose of aiding or facilitating the work of the Office of Government Ethics. (2) No gift may be accepted— (A) that attaches conditions inconsistent with applicable laws or regulations; or (B) that is conditioned upon or will require the expenditure of appropriated funds that are not available to the Office of Government Ethics. (3) The Director shall establish written rules setting forth the criteria to be used in determining whether the acceptance of contributions of money, services, use of facilities, or personal property under this subsection would reflect unfavorably upon the ability of the Office of Government Ethics, or any employee of such Office, to carry out its responsibilities or official duties in a fair and objective manner, or would compromise the integrity or the appearance of the integrity of its programs or any official involved in those programs.
