                                 A BILL


 
       To prohibit the expenditure of appropriated funds on the 
                Superconducting Super Collider program.

    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 ``Deficit Reduction Through 
Superconducting Super Collider Termination Act of 1993''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal budget deficit has grown to such an extent 
        that it poses a serious short-, medium-, and long-term threat 
        to the health of the United States economy;
            (2) the gross interest costs on the National debt now 
        exceed defense expenditures in the Federal budget and are one 
        of the fastest-growing components in the Federal budget;
            (3) the American people are demanding serious and 
        fundamental changes in the Federal Government's management of 
        spending priorities and overall fiscal stewardship;
            (4) Federal Government programs that are not absolutely 
        necessary to the health and well-being of the American people 
        must be closely scrutinized for possible funding reduction or 
        elimination; and
            (5) termination of the Superconducting Super Collider 
        program would save the Federal Government billions of dollars.

SEC. 3. TERMINATION OF SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER PROGRAM.

    (a) Prohibition.--Effective 90 days after the date of enactment of 
this section, no appropriated funds shall be available for use on the 
Superconducting Super Collider program.
    (b) Exception.--The provisions of subsection (a) shall not apply to 
any actions taken in terminating the Superconducting Super Collider 
program.
    (c) Unexpended Funds.--Any funds appropriated for use on the 
Superconducting Super Collider program that remain unobligated and 
unexpended 90 days after the date of enactment of this section shall be 
credited to the general revenues of the United States Treasury.
