Title
-----
Observation of the Fully Hadronic Decay of t-tbar Pairs in
p-pbar Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV

Abstract
--------
The fully hadronic decay of t-tbar pairs has been observed in
p-pbar collisions at the Collider Detector at Fermilab.  Using
109.4 +/- 7.1 pb^-1 of data collected at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV,
37.5 +/- 16.9 signal events are observed over a background of
119.5 +/- 17.9.  The t-tbar production cross-section is measured 
to be 11.5 +/- 5.0 (statistical) +5.9/-5.0 (systematic) pb
for a top quark of mass M = 175 Gev/c^2.
