Abstract
With the most recent 282–143 vote by the House on October 19 to kill the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), the flame could soon flicker out on this controversial research project. At press time, most congressional supporters of the SSC seemed ready to throw in the towel on resurrecting funding to continue the project.The recent House vote is the second this year intended to kill the project, and the $22 billion Department of Energy funding bill now returns to the House‐Senate conference committee with clear instructions to House conferees to include only $220 million for the SSC in the 1994 energy and water appropriations bill, intended to cover the costs of project termination. In an article in the October 21 Washington Post, however, actual costs to terminate the project were expected to reach $1 billion, including the costs of covering lawsuits and filling in the hole.
