The preliminary design of the 600 MeV H{sup {minus}} linac for the Superconducting Super Collider injector is described. The linac must provide a 25 mA beam during 7--35 {mu}s macropulses at Hz within injection bursts. Normalized transverse emittances of less than 0.5 {pi} mm-mrad (rms) are required for injection into the Low Energy Booster synchrotron. Cost, ease of commissioning, and operational reliability are important considerations. The linac will consists of an H{sup {minus}} source with electrostatic LEBT, 2.5 MeV radiofrequency quadrupole accelerator, a 70 MeV drift-tube linac, and 530 MeV and the side-coupled linac operates at 1284 MHz. A modest total length of 150 m results from the tradeoff between cost optimization and reliability. The expected performance from beam dynamics simulations and the status of the project are described. 11 refs., 1 fig., 6 tabs.
