4. All U.S. government personnel engaged in purchasing and related activities must conduct business dealings with industry in a manner that is above reproach in every respect. A II contracts contain the .. gratuities" clause. This covers measures to be taken in the event gratuities (in the form of entertainment. gifts or otherwise) are offered or given by the contractor. This clause covers any agent or representative of the contractor. Gratuities offered to any officer or employee of the U.S. government with a goal of securing a contract or securing favorable treatment with respect to the awarding/amending, or the making of any determinations with respect to the performance of such contract is illegal. I urge you to advise me of any irregularities you encounter while conducting business with the U. S. government employees.
