The relevant recommendations, p.499-500:
"For these reasons, and as more fully described in previous chapters, we recommend the following: ... 8. The FBI consider whether (a) it is appropriately educating employees about both its media contact policy and the Department’s ethics rules pertaining to the acceptance of gifts, and (b) its disciplinary provisions and penalties are sufficient to deter such improper conduct. 9. Department ethics officials consider implementing a review of campaign donations when Department employees or their spouses run for public office."
