[edit] Questionable accuracy
This article talks only about the Reagan administration's effects on mergers and acquisitions law, but it says nothing about the actual content of the guidelines. While I am certainly not a Reaganite, I think this article should be fleshed out a bit to explain what the actual USDOJ/FTC merger guidelines actually are. --Eastlaw 07:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Okay, here are some links which will serve as useful references for improving this article:
- Time magazine article, 28 June 1982
- 20th anniversary of merger guidelines-DOJ
- Comments of FTC international antitrust coordinator Debra Valentine
- Non-horizontal merger guidelines
- Official DOJ commentary on the horizontal merger guidelines

[edit] Under construction
I have been rather busy of late, but I am slowly but surely building this article into something which will be relatively good. Please be patient while I add information. --Eastlaw 05:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Copy & paste from FTC
Apparently, User:Mr kc copied and pasted a bunch of information from the Federal Trade Commission webpage. This is not a copyright violation, because such information is public domain as a work of the U.S. government. It does, however, require cleanup. --Eastlaw (talk) 23:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've removed that, and instead moved the URL to the "External links" section, which I also took the opportunity to reorganize a bit. Please use the {{copypaste}} template with care. That template transcludes Category:Possible copyright violations, and causes the page to be reported there as a possible copyright violation to be investigated. -- TJRC (talk) 22:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
