GOVERNMENT ETHICS
Enclosed please find a letter from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) in response to a letter
dated May 17, 2017, from John M. Mulvaney, Director of the Office of Management and Budget. In his letter,
Director Mulvaney questions OGE's authority to collect ethics information and records from executive branch
officials, specifically ethics waivers and Standards of Conduct authorizations. As discussed in the enclosed
letter, OGE is fully authorized to collect such information and records, and agencies have a long history of
compliance. OGE's ability to fulfill its mission depends on its statutory authority to collect such information and
records. I trust that you will find the enclosed response informative. Please do not hesitate to contact OGE's
Chief of Staff, Shelley K. Finlayson, should you have any questions or require further information.
