2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, (D) New York:
“So the bill bans members of Congress from buying or selling stocks, buying and selling securities, buying and selling commodities, being in the markets because the risk of them buying and selling based on nonpublic information is so high. And so this will penalize members of Congress; they'll have to disgorge their profits. And it also will allow the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) or the Department of Justice to investigate, to see if when they did buy and sell those stocks, they were buying and selling them based on nonpublic information."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, (D) New York:
“So we know that 1 in 3 members of Congress are trading stock. And we know that 1 in 7 are not properly disclosing the stocks that they're buying and selling. We also know that members of Congress have a 17.5% higher return rate than the S&P 500 on their stock trades."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, (D) New York:
"We should ban members of Congress from buying and selling stocks, because clearly they are not following the rules, and they are profiting off the nonpublic information they have. And the American public deserves to know that their Congress is just working for them, not working to line their own pockets, not working to make a buck."
9. Close of AP Reporter Joey Cappelletti listening, nodding
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, (D) New York:
“Democrats would love to ban stock trading by not just members of Congress, but all administration, senior administration officials, by the White House, by the president, by the vice president, by the Supreme Court."
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, (D) New York:
“So I do think this is a good place to start. I don't think we have to allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good. There's a lot more I would love to put in this bill, but this is a consensus from a bipartisan basis and a consensus between two bodies of Congress."

STORYLINE:
Two senators from opposite parties are joining forces in a renewed push to ban members of Congress from trading stocks, an effort that has broad public support but has repeatedly stalled on Capitol Hill.

Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Republican Sen. Ashley Moody of Florida on Thursday plan to introduce legislation, first shared with The Associated Press, that would bar lawmakers and their immediate family members from trading or owning individual stocks.
