"Sarbanes-Oxley has clearly worked. The Dow recently hit an all-time high, our capital markets remain very competitive internationally and compliance costs are falling. So why roll it back? Because corporate America would always prefer less scrutiny, not more. It hopes our memories are short and that with Enron's Ken Lay dead and Jeff Skilling headed to prison, we will close our eyes and let them go back to business as usual."
