WASHINGTON, Oct. 30— Lamenting its death as "a serious loss" to science, President Clinton on Friday signed a bill killing the $11 billion superconducting supercollider project.
Mr. Clinton was forced to accept the termination of the Texas project when a budget-conscious Congress voted to abandon the program, which is one-fifth complete with a 14-mile-long underground tunnel and complex of laboratory buildings.
About $640 million for the project had been in an energy and water spending bill. That money will now be spent to dismantle the project.
"This project was an important element of our nation's science program," Mr. Clinton said in a written statement, "and its termination is a serious loss for the field of high energy physics."

So, the "budget-conscious Congress" wasn't concerned with "saving money"? Let me guess, it's still Congress' fault that WJC signed the bill killing it and that's okay because, after all, WJC "felt our pain" when he did it.
Seriously, can we never expect to see a single criticism of the Clintons from you, ever?
