  The Constitutional Prohibition Against the Acceptance of Gifts from Foreign Potentates

  This opinion considers the question of whether American officials receiving gifts from Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Ab Saud (later Crown Prince and King of Saudi Arabia) were prohibited by the Emoluments Clause of the constitution. The opinion concludes that acceptance of gifts without Congressional consent would be unconstitutional and indicated that the accepted gifts should be turned over to the State Department's custody. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored.

  Racial Segregation at Airports Developed with Financial Assistance Under the Federal Airport Act

  The OLC was asked whether airports built using federal grant money were required to integrate given a clause in the grant agreement requiring accessibility without “unjust discrimination” but the agency declined to provide an answer, citing “a long-standing departmental policy” against weighing in on “judicial questions.” The OLC did advise, however, that the Administrator of Civil Aeronautics could include a grant agreement term explicitly prohibiting discrimination for future grantees.
