We report the first detection of millimeter CO emission in two highly evolved planetary nebulae: NGC 6720 and NGC 7293. The CO is a useful probe of the structure and kinematics of the molecular gas in the nebulae, and provides an estimate of the mass of material which remains un-ionized by the central star.
