The processes {ital p}+{ital p}{r arrow}2{ital l}{sup {plus minus}}+{ital X}, {ital p}+{ital p}{r arrow}{ital W}{sub {ital R}}{r arrow}{ital N}+{ital l}+{ital X}, and {ital p}+{ital p}{r arrow}{ital Z}{sub {ital R}}{r arrow}2{ital N}+{ital l}+{ital X} (where {ital N} is a heavy Majorana neutrino) are discussed and estimated at the energy scale of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). These reactions may serve as the indications of right-handed gauge bosons and heavy Majorana neutrinos that propagate in the intermediate state or are produced directly. The observation of same-sign charged-lepton pairs in final states is a possible clean signal for production of {ital W}{sub {ital R}}, {ital Z}{sub {ital R}}, and the heavy Majorana neutrino {ital N}. A detailed calculation shows that with suitable cuts the background can be overwhelmed by the signals for a wide range of right-handed gauge-boson and heavy-neutrino masses (from hundreds GeV to several TeV), and this signal is observable at the SSC. With the completion of the SSC, such experiments could be carried out.
