WASHINGTON (AP) — American diplomats are asking to be exempted from parts of a law that bans members of Congress, the president and thousands of other federal workers from profiting from nonpublic information learned on the job.

The union that represents the U.S. Foreign Service said Friday that it has no issue with the intent of the law but wants waivers for its members from requirements that personal financial disclosure statements and stock market trades be posted online.
