Executive Summary At the request of the Department of Energy, the National Acad- emy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering estab- lished the Super Collider Site Evaluation Committee to evaluate the suitability of proposed sites for the Superconducting Super Collider. Thirty-six proposals were examined by the committee. (One of these was withdrawn from consideration during the course of the committee's evaluation.) Using the set of criteria announced by DOE in its Invitation for Site Proposals, the committee identified eight sites that merited inclusion on a "best qualified list." The list represents the best collective judgment of 21 individuals, carefully chosen for their expertise and impartiality, after a detailed assessment of the proposals using 19 technical subcriteria and DOE's life cycle cost estimates. The sites, in alphabetical order, are: Arizona/Maricopa Colorado Illinois Michigan/Stockbridge New York/Rochester North Carolina Tennessee Texas/Dallas-Fort Worth
