7.16: Executive Branch Ethics
Enforce Executive Branch Ethics. Other Information:
The Obama-Biden administration will give the Office of Governmental Ethics strong enforcement authority with the ability to
make binding regulations, and it will work with inspectors general in all the federal agencies to enforce ethics rules, minimize
waste and ensure federal officials are not using their offices for personal gain. The OGE will also be the clearinghouse of
all public records relevant to ethics in the Executive Branch and place this information on its website. Finally, the OGE
will promulgate rules and procedures to record all oral and in-person "lobbying contacts" between registered lobbyists and
political appointees and make those records available to the public in a searchable computerized database.
