Rails - Mar 2006 - Form Validation with 2 models on form. Nubee Question

I have one form in which i enter Person data and Employee Data. A Person 
and Employee model are used.  I am using a legacy schema, so this is 
forced.

How do i use save the data while using rails form validation??  I only 
want both models to save if they both save.

Controller :

This odviously doesnt work:

def create_employee_and_person
  employee = Employee.new(params[:employee])
  person = Person.new(params[:person])
  employee.person = person

  if employee.save and person.save
   ....
.....

Any help would be greately appreciated

I have found the answer here :

http://rails.techno-weenie.net/question/2006/2/23/validating_multiple_form_fields

I need to check that each model is valid :

if model1.valid? and model2.valid?
....
