Note: The following Code sections no longer exists: Code of Ethics --Section 11b--'He will not pay, or offer to pay, either directly or indirectly, and commission, political contribution, or a gift, or other consideration in order to secure work, exclusive of securing salaried positions through employment agencies.'

Note: The following Code sections no longer exists: Code of Ethics --Section 11b--'He will not pay, or offer to pay, either directly or indirectly, and commission, political contribution, or a gift, or other consideration in order to secure work, exclusive of securing salaried positions through employment agencies.'
On its face, the code is clear and direct to the point.
The basic issue remaining is whether the flat prohibition in Section 11b applies to work in a foreign country where the laws and customs permit the gifts to government officials.
