                        PAXON-MOLINARI MARRIAGE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I do not know what all the Members of the 
Senate will be doing during the July 4th recess, but I suspect that 
none of us will have as eventful a recess as Congressman Bill Paxon and 
Congresswoman Susan Molinari. Because on Sunday, these two outstanding 
public servants are getting married to each other.
  And as someone who has more than 18 years of experience in a 
Washington, DC two-career marriage, I want to extend my congratulations 
to my two good friends.
  I have checked the laws of our land very carefully, Mr. President, 
and can find nothing that prohibits two Members of Congress from 
marrying.
  But just to be safe, I want my friends to know that I stand ready to 
propose an amendment to the Robinson-Patman Anti-Trust Act to render 
the Paxon-Molinari merger a combination in the public interest, and not 
in undue restraint of trade.
  I know that all Members of the Senate join me in sending our best 
wishes to Congressman Paxon and Congresswoman Molinari. May they have 
many happy years together, and may their votes never cancel each 
other's out.
