On June 24, the House of Representatives voted to terminate the Superconducting Super Collider (see FYI #82). This vote was taken on an amendment to H.R. 2445, offered by Rep.

The following is a portion of this roll call vote. Due to space limitations, those representatives voting in support of the SSC are listed, as well as those representatives not voting. Representatives not listed below voted to terminate the collider.
