Texas is selected in 7-state contest for super collider
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Texas beat out six other states yesterday in a high-stakes race to capture the $4.4 billion superconducting super collider, which, if Congress finds the money $o build it, would be the largest scientific instrument ever constructed.
the instrument to the project's home state.
The announcement by John Herrington, secretary of the Energy Department, drew immediate howls of protest from losing states, where officials had waged a years-long battle to win the giant atom-smasher, the jobs and the scientific prestige that will accrue to the project's home state.
Illinois officials also were angered, with House Minority Leader Robert Michel calling on the president to review Herrington's decision declaring Texas the preferred site for what the department will name the Ronald Reagan Center for High Energy Physics.
the texas decision has a strong smell of White House politics," said Sen. Donald Riege Jr., D-Mich. "We and the other five finalist states got a raw deal."
Eight senators — Alan Dixon and Paul Simon of Illinois, Riegle and Carl Levin of Michigan, Dennis DeConcini and John Mcain of Arizona and Tim Wirth and William Armstrong of Colorado — asked Reagan to establish a bipartisan
commission of physicists that would review all seven of the finalist sites. The others sites are in North Carolina and Tennessee.
The senators said if the project "is to have the slightest chance of being funded," the President must demonstrate the Texas decision "was based solely on scientific criteria utilizing a fair, open and competitive bidding process."
Herrington said the Texas site — some 16,000 farm acres in Ellis County 35 miles south of Dallas was "superior" to the others for building the collider, a 53-mile underground tunnel capable of whipping proton beams into each other with 20 times the force of the world's most powerful existing particle accelerator.
"The Texas proposal clearly received the highest overall technical evaluation ratings of any proposal and exhibited no significant overall weaknesses." Herrington said.
"I have to tell you there are no politics in this," Herrington said at a news conference attended by such prominent Texans as House Speaker Jim Wright and Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, both Democratrs, and Sen. Phil Gramm, a Republican.
The decision was announced two days after Bush, an adopted Texan, was elected president.
