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.
