Office of the Chief of Protocol; Gifts to Federal Employees From 
Foreign Government Sources Reported to Employing Agencies in Calendar 
Year 2007

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of State submits the following comprehensive 
listing of the statements which, as required by law, Federal employees 
filed with their employing agencies during calendar year 2007 
concerning gifts received from foreign government sources. The 
compilation includes reports of both tangible gifts and gifts of travel 
or travel expenses of more than minimal value, as defined by statute. 
Also included are gifts received in previous years including 2 gifts in 
2002, 5 gifts in 2005 and 17 gifts in 2006. These latter gifts and 
expenses are being reported in 2007 as the Office of the Chief of 
Protocol, Department of State, did not receive the relevant information 
to include them in earlier reports.
    Publication of this listing in the Federal Register is required by 
Section 7342(f) of Title 5, United States Code, as added by Section 
515(a)(1) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 1978
