Applicability of 18 U.S.C. § 207(a) to the Union Station Development Corporation

18 U.S.C. § 207(a) does not prohibit a former employee of the District of Columbia government now working for the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation from communicating with the District government concerning matters on which she worked as a District employee, because the Corporation should be regarded as "the United States" for the purposes of that statute. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at www.justice.gov/file/24066/download.
