"Financial Services Modernization Act," which repealed the part of the Glass-Steagall Act.
The Financial Services Modernisation Act was a GOP bill - sponsored by Phil Gramm (one of McCains primary economic advisors, BTW). The first vote was primarily GOP for, DNC against. Revisions were made so that the DNC would vote in favour. The final vote was 90-8 in the Senate and 362-57 in the House. Clinton signed because the Congressional vote was veto-proof. I'm no fan of Clinton, but pinning the blame on him is just not accurate.
