Recall that NYSE Euronext inked a deal to buy its one-time rival--the American Stock Exchange, known as the curb--back in January. Last week, NYSE Euronext CEO Duncan Niederauer went to Washington, and made his case at the National Press Club that small and medium-sized companies should be exempt from Sarbanes-Oxley, reports Financial Week.

Large foreign companies still view the law as an impediment to listing, he says.
