Is that true or did the Clinton administration just look the other way? Regardless, it should have been blocked on anti-trust grounds, and subject to approval from Congress. At least, Ralph Nader thought so:

Nader is a lawyer and activist, and has no experience running any sort of organization or company, and has no engineering training.
His opinion is of little to no value here.
Deciding if two companies should be allowed to merge is a matter of law and public policy, not engineering.
And yet, those are two companies steeped in engineering. One cannot decide, or even understand, the consequences of merging two engineering firms if they know nothing of engineering.
Should the Ministery of Agriculture know nothing of agriculture?
