The Ethics in Government Act of 1978 requires high-level federal
officials to publicly disclose their personal financial interests. The public
filing system serves to prevent financial conflicts of interest by providing for
a systematic review of the finances of government officials. Those finances are
set forth in annual disclosures which are reviewed and certified by ethics
officials. Neither the President nor the Vice President have any conflicts of
interest, and their reports have been reviewed and certified by the independent
Office of Government Ethics. We are continuing this Administration's practice of
posting these forms online here in the interests of transparency:
White House staff are also completing their forms and we anticipate
they will be available here next month, also in
electronic form.
