We present a search for ZZ and ZW vector boson pair production in
p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV using the leptonic decay channels
ZZ --> ll nu nu, ZZ --> lll'l' and ZW --> lll'nu. In a data sample
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 194 pb-1 collected with the
Collider Detector at Fermilab, 3 candidate events are found with an expected
background of 1.0 +/- 0.2 events. We set a 95% confidence level upper limit
of 15.2 pb on the cross section for ZZ plus ZW production, compared to the
standard model prediction of 5.0 +/- 0.4 pb.
