An interesting component of the physics program at Fermilab during the next ten years will be the precision verification of the standard model, rather than its extension. While there is a window for finding Z{prime} gauge bosons, it is unlikely that it is possible to discover the standard model Higgs boson. Measurements of W + {gamma} rates can place limits on non-standard gauge boson couplings. QCD will be further tested by observation of W or Z plus multiple jets, a signal which is also interesting as a background to new particle searches. Precision measurements of the W and Z masses and the forward-backward asymmetry in Z decays can put limits on new physics. 26 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
