    Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. as added by Title II of

waiting period prior to its expiration and requires that notice of this 
action be published in the Federal Register.

The grants were made by the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant 
Attorney General for the Antitrust Division of the Department of 
Justice. Neither agency intends to take any action with respect to 
these proposed acquisitions during the applicable waiting period.
