made to publish, under this heading, for the guidance of members of the 
Bureau, pertinent information on the business administration of the Bureau. 
It is believed that these articles will furnish a valuable reference file 
for all field employees. It is suggested that all employees also read 
carefully the column of the Official record headed "Official Announce-— 
ments," and file these announcements for ready reference. A thorough 
knowledge of changes in regulations will aid materially in handling prob- 
lems which may arise in connection with the administration of field work. 
The following are two of the most recent changes: 
(1) Memorandum No. 591, Office of the Secretary, dated November 25, 
Poo. 
Executive Order No. 5221 of November 11, 1929, is as follows: 
Limitation on non-official employment of Officers 
or Employees of the American Government. 
It is hereby ordered that no officer or em-— 
ployee in the executive branch of the United 
states Government, regardless of whether he is on 
annual leave or leave without pay, shall be enm- 
ployed with or without remuneration by any foreign 
government, corporation, partnership, or in- 
dividual that is in competition with American 
industry. 
In view of the necessity of individual interpretation of this 
order with respect to cases within its scope arising in the Depart— 
ment, it is directed that hereafter no employee of the Department, 
whether in a duty status, on annual leave, or on leave without pay, 
shall accept employment with or without remuneration from any foreign 
government, corporation, partnership. or individual, without the 
prior authorization of the Secretary. Requests by employees of the 
Bureau of Entomology for such authorization should be made through 
the Chief of Bureau.

This Department is advised that the Department of Justice is 
now in a position to accept orders for such tents and tentage as may 
be required in the future by the several bureaus. Accordingly, all 
such orders will hereafter be placed with the Superintendent of 
Prisons, Department of Justice, instead of requesting quotations on 
same from the commercial market. Requirements should be anticipated 
as far in advance as practicable to permit a reasonable time for 
manufacture and satisfactory delivery. Field employees desiring to 
purchase articles described above should make requisition through 
the Washington Office of the Bureau.
