See Story on Page 3. Washington a the Bush administration on tuesday proposed revised ethical standards for Federal employees that would ease some restrictions such As those on accepting lunches but make others More stringent. The rules proposed by the office of government ethics in line with a directive from president Bush were published in the Federal Register. They will be considered for adoption after a 60-Day period for Public comment. The regulations would generally prohibit Federal employees from taking gifts because of their official position. However they could accept such gifts up to a value of $25 in some cases. An example would be a reporter taking a Federal employee to lunch. In 1987, the ethics office issued an opinion interpreting its rules As prohibiting acceptance of a a one on one lunch paid for by someone such As a reporter who bought it because of the employees government position. Currently Federal employees Are prohibited from accepting gifts from colleagues who make less Money than they do. The new Rule would permit occasional gifts such As for Christmas birthdays or weddings costing no More than $10. The new Rule spells out a Broad authority for agencies to prohibit financial holdings and order employees to divest themselves of financial interests that interfere with their jobs. Under an example Given in the proposed rules the air Force could require an employee who owns Stock in a major aircraft engine manufacturing company to sell the Stock if he were being promoted to a position with responsibility for developing new fighter air planes. The term a financial interest could also include services with or without compensation As an officer of either a profit making or non profit group. For example the ethics office said the Bureau of land management could require an employee who was vice president of the foundation for the preservation of wild horses to resign even though he was not paid in order to accept promotion to a policy level position in the Bureau. The reason Given in the hypothetical example is that the foundation routinely comments on the bureaus rules affecting the use of Federal grasslands. The rules also would set standards to ensure that government workers do not use their positions for fund raising. An exception would permit Agency Heads to take part in the combined Federal Campaign of charitable giving.3 women detail attack charges against Smith West Palm Beach Fla.
