Aware
that most Americans would like to dump them all, members of Congress
hope to regain some sense of trust by subjecting themselves to tougher
penalties for insider trading and requiring they disclose stock
transactions within 30 days.
A
procedural vote Monday would allow the Senate later this week to pass a
bill prohibiting members of Congress from using nonpublic information
for their own personal benefit or "tipping" others to inside information
that they could trade on.
[You mean it is not already against the law as their laws make it for everyone else?]
