We reanalyze the extraction of the heavy Higgs boson signal [ital H][r arrow][ital W][sup +][ital W[minus]][r arrow][ital [bar l]][nu],[ital l][bar [nu]] ([ital l]=[ital e] or [mu]) from the standard model background at hadron supercolliders, taking into account revised estimates of the top quark background. With new acceptance criteria the definition of the signal remains viable. Requiring a forward jet tag, a central jet veto, and a large relative transverse momentum of the two charged leptons yields [ital S]/ [radical][ital B] [gt]6 for one year of running at the SSC or CERN LHC.
