House wants promises met before funding continues WASHINGTON (AP) — Citing an “ever- lengthening string of broken promises" by the Energy Department, a group of congressmen is urging the House Appropriations Committee to put the brakes on spending for the $8.25 billion super collider. In a letter to the chairman of the appropriations subcommittee on energy and water development, 44 House members suggest Congress withhold further spending on the collider until DOE lines up foreign contributors and “delivers on its prom ises to limit the project's total federal costs." President Bush is seeking $534 million for the collider in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. Ad ministration officials have warned that a failure to set aside those funds could cause costly delays and threaten foreign contributions to the project, being built in Ellis County. In their letter to Rep. Tom Bevill, D-Ala., the congressmen complain that while the DOE con tinues to assert mat foreign contributions will cover a significant portion of the costs of the SSC, “virtually no foreign contributions have been forthcoming." The congressmen also complain that while the House voted to cap federal spending on the col lider at $5 billion, the Energy Department has re- estimated the cost to the federal government at $5,649 billion. Because the Senate never approved the legislation setting the $5 billion cap, it did not become law. Koldus receives prestigious award Continued from page 1 tries to meet as marly people as he can.
