The civil selling law prohibits payments from any
appropriation to Regular military officers selling supplies to
Department of Defense (DOD) agencies luring the f'rst three
yea-s of retirement. Findings/Conclusions: All three officers
hava been employed by major DOD contractors since their
retirement. It was not established whether thn three officers
were present at hunting lodges with DOD officials to promote
goodwill or on a social basis. The nature of the work performed
by these major contractors placed the retired officers in
positions to engage in selling activities; however, theri was no
evidence to establish that the retirees engaged in selliug.
Neither the language of the law nor the DOD Standards of Conduct
adequately cover the situations described. Recommendations: The
duties and responsibilities that cannot be performed by retired
personnel in liaison Positions should be specified, and emplofee
responsibilities in dealing with retirod officers who have
contacted them in liaison activities should te defined.
Employees should be required to report such contacts to
appropriate DOD officials. (RES)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaavkx0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
