1992 Senate Vote on Superconducting Super Collider

JUN 29, 1993

It is expected that the Senate will vote in September on H.R. 2445, the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill for fiscal year 1994. During the Senate’s consideration of this legislation, an amendment is expected to be offered to delete funding for the SSC. In response to several inquiries regarding last year’s voting record, the following 1992 Senate roll call vote is provided. A YES vote was in support of the SSC; a NO vote was for termination of the collider. Freshman senators (FS) who were formerly representatives are marked yes/no, as applicable, based on a similar vote in the House last year.
