We have performed a search for gluinos (\tilde{g}) and squarks
(\tilde{q}) in a data sample of 84 pb-1 of p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.8
TeV, recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab, by investigating the
final state of large missing transverse energy and 3 or more jets, a
characteristic signature in R-parity-conserving supersymmetric models. The
analysis has been performed 'blind', in that the inspection of the signal
region is made only after the predictions from Standard Model backgrounds
have been calculated. Comparing the data with predictions of constrained
supersymmetric models, we exclude gluino masses below 195 GeV/c2 (95%
C.L.), independent of the squark mass. For the case m_\tilde{q} \approx
m_\tilde{g}, gluino masses below 300 GeV/c2 are excluded.
