                                 A BILL


 
 To provide for the termination of the Superconducting Super Collider 
                                project.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Superconducting Super Collider 
Termination Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal budget deficit was $290,000,000,000 in 
        fiscal year 1992;
            (2) outlays for net interest on the national debt have 
        grown at nearly twice the rate of the Gross Domestic Product 
        since 1986, when the Superconducting Super Collider was first 
        proposed;
            (3) reductions in Federal spending are necessary to reduce 
        the budget deficit, reduce the national debt, and improve the 
        economy;
            (4) the Department of Energy's Office of Superconducting 
        Super Collider has projected the cost of the Superconducting 
        Super Collider to be $8,250,000,000;
            (5) the Department of Energy's Energy Research Review 
        Committee has projected the cost of the Superconducting Super 
        Collider to be $8,400,000,000;
            (6) the Department of Energy's High Energy Physics Advisory 
        Panel has projected the cost of the Superconducting Super 
        Collider to be $8,900,000,000;
            (7) the Department of Energy's Independent Cost Estimate 
        Group has projected the cost of the Superconducting Super 
        Collider to be $11,800,000,000, including $1,200,000,000 for 
        detectors which were not included in the other estimates; and
            (8) the Federal Government does not have the resources at 
        this time to fund the Superconducting Super Collider.

SEC. 3. PROHIBITION.

    No Federal funds may be used or obligated for the Superconducting 
Super Collider project, except funds necessary to terminate the 
project.
