A proposal to ban insider trading by US congressmen has languished in Congress since 2006. But it appears that the 60 Minutes program generated some attention; within four days of the broadcast, the number of cosponsors of the proposal increased from nine to 57, and a session was called to discuss the legislation next month.
一项旨在防止美国议员实施内幕交易的提案自2006年至今都未获国会关注。但《60分钟时事杂志》的播出似乎已经引起了一些注意；在节目播出后的4天内，该提案的联名推荐人数量就从9个提高到54个，并决定在下月召开相关会议讨论相关立法问题。
