MEMORANDUM

TO:       Designated Agency Ethics Officials

FROM:     Barbara A. Mullen-Roth
          Associate Director for Education

SUBJECT:  Ordering Information for the Office of Government Ethics'
          New Training Videos: "The Revolving Door" and "The Battle
          for Avery Mann" 


     The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) is pleased to announce
the availability of two new training videotapes.  "The Revolving
Door" is a news show that addresses the issues surrounding the
seeking employment and post-employment restrictions on executive
branch employees.  Throughout the show, you are also provided
periodic updates from a reporter covering a Congressional Hearing
on Capitol Hill focused on one employee's possible violation of the
post-employment law.  Running time: approximately 20 minutes.

     "The Battle for Avery Mann" is the story of an average
executive branch employee's struggles with the rules governing
every day conduct.  Throughout the story, Avery is faced with
different dilemmas including using Government equipment for
personal documents, accepting a gift from a subordinate and working
on a project that involves his outside employer.  Avery finds
himself caught between what he knows is the right thing to do and
what may not be right but would be more convenient or beneficial to
him.  Running time: approximately 20 minutes.

copies of both videotapes.  Copies ordered through OGE will cost
$2.00 each.  Copies ordered directly through INFOCUS will cost
$3.10 each.  Please note, INFOCUS will add a $4.00 handling charge
