National Environmental Policy Act, who was responsible?

I am doing a project and can't find the person who was responsible for the act itself. I have checked over ten sites and browsed each for about twenty minutes. Yes, I have been looking ALL day.

Thank you.

"NEPA is a statute that introduced the environmental impact statement and transformed decision making by federal agencies.
In 1969 Senator Henry 鈥淪coop鈥?Jackson, Chair of the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, introduced S. 1075, the bill that eventually became the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Senator Jackson stated on the floor of the Senate, just before the bill was approved, the committee intended NEPA to be 鈥渢he most important and far-reaching environmental and conservation measure ever enacted by congress.鈥?quot;
