 File — Box: 1, Folder: 9

Scope and Contents

Senator Eoff talks about being a Senator, campaigns, committees and local issues, including nuclear waste in New Mexico, Federal control of the state, the economy, mining, foreign investment and agriculture. Included are his reasons for the decline in the gas, coal and uranium industries, the role of the state government, the loss of jobs, tax revenues, ties to the world economy, etc. He notes New Mexico has resources and mines but not the processing plants for them in the state for jobs, that too much attention is paid to development in the central Rio Grande corridor and not enough to outlying areas, etc. Eoff talks about land exchanges in the Navajo reservation checkerboard area, isolating individual private owners inside tribal areas and violating citizens’ access rights. He also refers to similar transfers with the Pueblos at La Bajada, Cochiti, Sandia, etc. (Note: CD 9 - last quarter of tape has recording made in Sally Noe’s American History classroom, about Boston Massacre, etc.)
