Department of Defense Approval
On reviewing the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
proposal, the Department of Defense has no legal objection to
individual DoD Components commands or organizations approving the
attendance or participation of its DoD employees at this event.
The DoD Public Affairs Office has determined that, for purposes of
accepting a gift reduced or free attendance, the event is a widely
attended gathering pursuant to 5 CFR 2635.204(g), This determination
is not a DoD endorsement of the event nor approval for widespread
attendance. If individual DoD Component commands or organizations
determine that attendance by particular personnel is in DoD interest,
those personnel may accept the gift of free or reduced attendance. As
other exceptions under 5 CFR 2635.204 may allow the acceptance of
gifts, DoD personnel are urged to consult their Ethics Counselor.
