Post-Employment Restrictions on Former Geologist at Nuclear Regulatory Commission
This document is a memorandum opinion on a matter involving post-employment restrictions on federal employees under 18 U.S.C. § 207. It discusses the case of Mr. C, a geologist employed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, who was offered a position by a consulting firm to work on a subcontract related to a project he had been involved in while working for the Commission. The conclusion reached in the document is that Mr. C's activities would violate § 207 if he were to act for the consulting firm in connection with its performance of the subcontract. The document presents questions regarding the interpretation of § 207 and whether Mr. C's duties with the consulting firm would violate the statute. It also delves into the legislative history and intent behind § 207 to provide a comprehensive analysis of the legal issue.
