The House of Representatives has taken an important first step by passing the STOCK Act.

Eliminating the perception of any impropriety by upholding principles of transparency and accountability is the right thing to do. Nonetheless, continuing to work on the bill in a conference committee with Senate and House members will help us to perfect it to the extent that legislation of this significance requires.

Considering this issue has already earned solid support both in Congress and the White House, as well as from numerous civic organizations, I am confident we are on the right path toward completing a very effective piece of legislation.
