WASHINGTON, Sept 1 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators on Thursday 
said they have approved American Air Liquide Holdings' bid to 
sell some of its assets to Matheson Tri-Gas in order to settle 
charges that its recent merger with Airgas Inc would have harmed 
industrial gas competition. 
    France's Air Liquide SA  AIRP.PA , American Air Liquide 
Holdings' parent company, bought Airgas, the leader in U.S. 
packaged gases, in May. Matheson Tri-Gas Inc is owned by Taiyo 
Nippon Sanso Corp  4091.T .
