The exclusive production of a pair of heavy-quarkonium states V ( = psi/J,UPSILON,zeta,. . .) from the decay of the Higgs boson in the standard model is studied in the approximation of zero binding energy. The branching fractions could only be as large as 10/sup -5/ around the kinematic thresholds. The alternative process H..-->..V..gamma.. is also studied and found to have branching fractions usually less than 10/sup -3/.
