Mr. Goodenow: But that really is the use of the term"official acts" is really <br /> in the fair treatment provision where you're talking <br /> about.... <br /> Mr. Adams: Fair treatment is 2-83. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Right. <br /> Mr. Adams: 2-82 which refers to the entire article. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: But I don't see anything in the "Gifts" section that refers <br /> to...that gifts are allowed or not allowed because of an <br /> official acts. I'm a little... <br /> Mr. Adams: That was an argument you were just making. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Well...that doesn't mean the definition here official acts in <br /> that section applies to appropriate legislative duties. I mean <br /> just as a legal point, but again I'd say...well first of all the <br /> case which I don't agree with which did get a lot of <br /> criticism about teachers, right, being chaperones. We're <br /> talking about two weeks going to Italy and touring France <br /> or whatever. We're not talking about one flight to <br /> Honolulu to accept an award. I think there's a difference at <br /> least in that level. <br /> Mr. Adams: Absolutely there's a difference, but we're not allowed to <br /> parse that difference. That's not our job. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Well...to me you're saying that it is a gift because it has <br /> monetary value period. <br /> Mr. Adams: The travel itself is a gift because it's not given by a <br /> government agency, right. It is a non-government agency <br /> where an official of the government has received that <br /> travel. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: But doesn't 2-91.4...1 mean it simply states... no officer or <br /> employee shall solicit, accept, or receive, directly, <br /> indirectly, any gift in the form of money, service, loan, <br /> travel, entertainment, hospitality etc., under circumstances <br /> in which it can reasonably be inferred that the gift is <br /> included to influence the officer or employee in the <br /> performance of the duties or is intended as a reward for <br /> official action. Certainly, we're not saying that under no <br /> 17 <br />
