President Instructs Staff to Follow Strict Ethics Rules
Jan. 21, 1993 -- President Bill Clinton today called on his White
House staff to uphold the highest possible ethical standards and to
put the needs of the American people ahead of personal ambitions.
"We just have to be dominated by high standards and clear vision and
we ought to have a good time doing it," the president said at his
first meeting with senior White House staff members.
The meeting, held in the historic Roosevelt Room in the White House's
West Wing, came one day after Clinton, in his first official act as
President, signed an executive order establishing the most stringent
ethical requirements of any administration ever.
Executive Order No. 1 requires all senior appointees to pledge that
they will refrain from:
* Lobbying during the five years after they leave government any
agency where they have served or which they have had any
responsibility for as a member of the White House staff;
* Engaging in any activity on behalf of any foreign government
at any time after they leave government service;
* Representing any foreign government or foreign corporation in
any way within five years of being involved in a trade negotiation
on behalf of the U.S. government.
"The ethics rules that we have put forward," said the president,
"will guarantee that the members of this administration will be
looking out for the American people and not for themselves."
