House OKS Funds for Super Collider in 1991 Package
The House Tuesday approved the first of this year’s 13 spending bills, a $20.9-billion package of energy and water development projects that includes the massive superconducting super collider.
The 1991 bill, approved 355 to 59, includes $318 million to build the giant particle accelerator at Waxahachie, Tex.
But Rep. Howard Wolpe (D-Mich.) objected that funds absorbed by the super collider “will ultimately starve other energy research projects.”
If passed by the Senate and signed by President Bush, the package would be the first of 13 spending bills approved for running the government next year.
