REPORT BY THE U.S.



General Accounting Office


                                                                 5#


Department Of Health, Education,

And Welfare Standards Of Employee

Conduct Need Improvement



Standards of conduct for Federal employees;
in the Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare do not provide sufficient guidance
to enable employees and supervisors to iden-
tify and resolve potential ethical problems.
The standards are incomplete, complex, and
out of date. As a result, employees are not
always aware of their responsibilities, and a
supervisor's advice is often a personal inter-
pretation of the Department's Standards of
Conduct regulation.


GAO recommends that the Department (1)
revise and update the standards to make
them complete, current, and easier to read
and understand, (2) make the Department
Counselor's interpretations of the standards
available to supervisors, (3) expand training
on the standards for Department supervisors
who provide advice and guidance on em-
ployees' ethical conduct, and (50 use avail-
able information to identify areas of the
standards that need to be revised.
