Senior DoD Officials Seeking Employment With Defense Contractors (DFARS Case 2008-D007)

DoD has adopted as final, without change, an interim rule to implement section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, that addresses requirements for senior DoD officials to obtain a post-employment ethics opinion before accepting compensation from a DoD contractor within two years after leaving DoD service.

One source submitted comments on the interim rule. That source supported the rule and its objectives, but recommended that the central database/repository for retention of written ethics opinions, required by section 847( B) , be made publicly available. DoD has not adopted this recommendation, as section 847 does not authorize access to the database by the general public.

So much for openness and transparency in govt! DOD Officials might have decided in the spirit of 'openness'that the database would be made public. But, No, another public-be-damned pronouncement.

Bob Thompson
