what it was and what it is

Published: Tue, 12/06/16

I often make it a practice to copy and paste the section of code or regulation for application.  Last week I was drafting a letter so I went to the source to get a the following regulation and sha-zam the old switch and bait.

See below what it was and what it is  
31 CFR Part 0, Subpart B - Rules of Conduct
31 CFR 0.207 - Cooperation with official inquiries.
 § 0.207 Cooperation with official inquiries.
Employees shall respond to questions truthfully and under oath when required, whether orally or in writing, and must provide documents and other materials concerning matters of official interest when directed to do so by competent Treasury authority.

THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS NOW
§ 0.207 Possession of weapons or explosives.
(a) Employees shall not possess firearms, explosives, or other dangerous weapons, as defined at 40 U.S.C. 5104(a), either openly or concealed, while on Department property or while on official duty.
(b) The prohibition of paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to the possession of authorized weapons or explosives by employees who are required to possess such authorized weapons or explosives in the performance of their official duties.
 
31 CFR 0.208 - Falsification of official records.
 § 0.208 Falsification of official records.
Employees shall not intentionally make false, misleading or ambiguous statements, orally or in writing, in connection with any matter of official interest. Matters of official interest include among other things: Transactions with the public, government agencies or fellow employees; application forms and other forms that serve as a basis for appointment, reassignment, promotion or other personnel action; vouchers; leave records and time and attendance records; work reports of any nature or accounts of any kind; affidavits; entry or record of any matter relating to or connected with an employee's duties; and reports of any moneys or securities received, held or paid to, for or on behalf of the United States.
