I describe possible ways to discover hard double Pomeron exchange (HDPE) with the existing detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron, by using the small-angle "luminosity" counters as a veto. Estimates of the cross sections and backgrounds are made. In addition to the intrinsic importance of HDPE, its observation would be useful for calibrating the detectors, and for estimating the "survival probability" of rapidity gaps.
