Mr. Stephen D. Potts Counsel and Designated Agency Ethics Official (DAEO), are permitted under applicable statutes, regulations, executive orders and policies. With respect to participation in organizations and associations outside of the Federal Government, I understand that I may not engage in an outside activity that conflicts with ray official Government duties and responsibilities. It has been explained to me that any activity would create a conflict if, under the regulations issued by the Office of Government Ethics, it would require my disqualification from matters so central or critical to the performance of my duties as a Member of the USEC Board of Directors that my ability to perform such duties would be materially impaired. I appreciate the fact that I will have an ongoing obligation to ensure my participation in outside organizations and associations does not conflict with my official Government duties and responsibilities. I have been advised that the affiliation listed under Part I of Schedule D of the Form SF-278 which I have submitted is a permitted affiliation under applicable statutes, regulations, executive orders and policies. I intend to continue my affiliation with the law firm Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue. With respect to this affiliation, I have been apprised of and understand the prohibitions found at 5 C.F.R. § 2635.502 regarding impartiality in performing official duties. I will follow the requirements of this section by refraining from participating as a Member of the USEC Board of Directors in a particular matter involving specific parties if I know that Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue represents a party to the matter and I have determined, in consultation with the USEC DAEO, that the circumstances would cause a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts to question my impartiality. The only occasion upon which I would participate in such a matter would be subsequent to receiving authorization from the DAEO to do so. Sincerely yours, Sincerely yours, I Charles William Burton v 7 Mr. Robert J. Moore General Counsel United States Enrichment Corporation |
