Subpart A General Provisions
Sec. 19.6 Code of ethics for government service.
The following code of ethics, adopted by Congress on July 11, 1958,
shall apply to all Food and Drug Administration employees:
Code of Ethics for Government Service
Any person in Government service should:
1. Put loyalty to the highest moral principles and to country above
loyalty to persons, party, or Government department.
2. Uphold the Constitution, laws, and legal regulations of the
United States and of all governments therein and never be a party to
their evasion.
3. Give a full day's labor for a full day's pay; giving to the
performance of his duties his earnest effort and best thought.
4. Seek to find and employ more efficient and economical ways of
getting tasks accomplished.
5. Never discriminate unfairly by the dispensing of special favors
or privileges to anyone, whether for remuneration or not; and never
accept, for himself or his family, favors or benefits under
circumstances which might be construed by reasonable persons as
influencing the performance of his governmental duties.
6. Make no private promises of any kind binding upon the duties of
office, since a Government employee has no private word which can be
binding on public duty.
7. Engage in no business with the Government, either directly or
indirectly, which is inconsistent with the conscientious performance of
his governmental duties.
8. Never use any information coming to him confidentially in the
performance of governmental duties as a means for making private profit.
9. Expose corruption wherever discovered.

10. Uphold these principles, ever conscious that public office is a
public trust.
