My recollection is that Clinton's head of the SEC tried to improve matters, but was blocked by a Republican Congress. JMHO. Charles Tutt (TM)

Arthur Levitt, Clinton's SEC chief was pushing and succeeding with significant reforms in disclosure and other rules that favored investors vs. institutions and Corporate IR, despite very very heavy lobbying by the industry. Harvey Pitt, Bush's curious appointment as SEC chief, was a lobbyist AGAINST reforms, ironically including a bill proposed by Barbara Boxer(CA) long before the Enron disaster to limit Accounting Firms from auditing and "consulting" with the same client.
