Those Guys!  Sarbanes and Oxley Who Started All This? From realcorporatelawyer.com in August of 2002: Congress: Senate Unanimously Passes Accounting Reform Bill Voting 97-to-0, the Senate approved legislation sponsored by Banking Committee Chairman Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.) to tighten regulation of independent auditors and make company officers more accountable for their conduct. Not only was the unanimous vote overwhelming in nature - so was President Bush's supportive statements afterwards (since Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill attacked the Senate package beforehand).
