The event rate for production of a Higgs boson of mass {similar to}1 TeV with decay {ital H}{r arrow}{ital ZZ}{r arrow}4 charged leptons is of order 25 events per year at standard Superconducting Super Collider luminosity and the QCD background is of comparable size. By tagging a {ital single} forward jet of energy {ital E}{sub {ital j}}{gt}1 TeV and rapidity 2{lt}{vert bar}{eta}{sub {ital j}}{vert bar}{lt}5 from the {ital qq}{r arrow}{ital qqZZ} process, the QCD background can be essentially elimi nated, with about 10 Higgs-boson signal events per year remaining, which amounts to 70% of the {ital qq}{r arrow}{ital qqZZ} signal rate. The experimental separation of t he vector boson scattering subprocess is thereby possible.
