Enron's version of Dom Nessi testified before a House subcommittee on Thursday, saying resigned chairman Ken Lay was duped by former executives whom she alleged no one was strong enough to confront.

Sherron S. Watkins testified for more than four hours and was welcomed by lawmakers as the people's savior. The attitude was markedly different when Lay and ex-executives Jeffrey K. Skilling and Andrew S. Fastow went before Congress and were slammed for not talking and slammed when they didn't.

Senate Democrats are planning on introducing numerous reforms in response to the collapse of Enron, the largest bankruptcy in history.
