On the recordJune 9, 1995

It does exactly what the consent decree did, as well. It basically says, ``You are going to have multiple consent decrees.'' What happens when, say U.S. West buys a long-distance company. What happens then? I tell you what happens. The Justice Department has to approve it. The Department of Justice would have to approve a merger of a local company acquiring a long-distance company. The senior Senator from South Dakota would not object to that.
