Wilson: IT IS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IS ITS LARGEST TENANT IS IT HAS MORE CIVILIAN AND IT IS CONNECTED AND WITH ALAMOGORDO IT'S VERY UNUSUAL. ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS OF IT AREN'T TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO

IN THE AIR FORCE WHO HAVE SO YOU DO HAVE TO EXPLAIN >> Arcie: NOW, THE DEFENSE THAT IT HAS BETWEEN 20% DO YOU THINK THAT'S >> Rep. Wilson: THEY WERE THE NUMBERS.

GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER THERE WILL BE A COMMISSION I THINK OUR OBJECTIVE HERE TO BE PROACTIVE AND BEGIN IN OTHER PLACES THAT WE WANT >> Arcie: I THINK THAT'S IS THAT CORRECT? WE WON THE BATTLE IN 1995, A MAJOR REDUCTION HERE, TIME WERE MISSIONS THAT ARE AND THEN ALSO, MONEY. THE COST AT THAT TIME WAS AND WITHIN A MATTER WITH NEW NUMBERS, ABOUT $525 MILLION TO DO IT. SO THAT WAS PART WE HAVE RECEIVED MISSIONS REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE

AND WE HAVE ALSO MOVED SO WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY HERE, WITH THE FLYING WE COULD ADD HERE, THAT STORY TO THE >> Arcie: WHAT IS THE LOCAL >> Thomas: WELL, IT IS CLOSE WE IN THE PARTNERSHIP FEEL TO THAT AND THAT COULD BRING AND THERE HAS BEEN A LOT I THINK THE BASE IS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT >> Arcie: IS ALBUQUERQUE'S >> Thomas: WELL, IT IS THE LAST TIME THEY WERE ABOUT 7,000 JOBS OUT SO THE IMPACT WAS GOING IF YOU TAKE OUT A LARGE

OR A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE IT IS HARD TO BOUNCE BACK AND IN THAT 1995 ROUND, IT IMPACT IN THE AIR FORCE, >> Arcie: CAN EITHER ONE OR MAYBE BOTH OF YOU? >> Rep.

>> Thomas: IT IS TRUE, AND FOR A PORTION OF THAT OF THE BASE CLOSURE PROCESS, IN THOSE DAYS, WE HAD A LOT I COULD GO AND CLOSE THOSE THINGS AND ASSETS TO OTHER SO IT WAS A LITTLE EASIER NOW IT IS GOING TO BE YOU HAVE LEFT ARE HOWEVER, AS HEATHER SAYS, I THINK THIS IS TRULY THAT YOU GET A BASE PROCESS TO GET TO, WHERE AND I THINK THE FUTURE THE AIR FORCE RESEARCH LAB THE SANDIA LABS, THAT'S BEEN THE 150th FIGHTER WING

WITH THEIR F-16s, OPERATIONS WING AND THE HELICOPTER TRAINING, THE AIRBORNE LASER PROGRAM AND NOW A LOT OF NEW SANDIA LABS HAS BEEN CALLED WITH SENSOR ACTIVITY I THINK THAT ALL SAYS THAT SO RATHER THAN LOOKING AT US >> Rep. Wilson: THERE IS KIRTLAND WILL SHINE WHEN AND THAT'S BECAUSE THERE ARE THE VA HOSPITAL IS COMBINED THE RUNWAY IS SHARED FIRE AND RESCUE ARE ALSO WE ARE ABOUT TO GO PRIVATIZATION, WHICH WILL OF THE BEST HOUSING BUT IT IS REALLY THE MODEL

AND LIKEWISE, FOR THOSE ARE NOW CONTRACTED SO IT IS REALLY A MODEL MISSIONS, AND VERY EFFICIENT >> Arcie: RECENTLY THERE WAS KIRTLAND EXPECTS TO LOSE 57 SENATOR PETE DOMENICI SAID AS AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS THAT THE CASE? >> Rep. EVERY YEAR THEY GIVE US AT THE SAME TIME, NONE OF US LIKES TO SEE ANY BUT THE MILITARY IS ALWAYS AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT 7,000 AND THEY LET US KNOW >> Arcie: THIS HAS NOTHING >> Rep. Wilson: NOTHING

THAT WERE CREATED WHEN HERE NOW IS A LOOK >> Susan: THE FIRST PAINTERS THEY WERE FLEMISH, ITALIANS, THEY PAINTED PICTURES >> Andrew: WHAT WE WANTED >> Andrew: WHAT WE WANTED WAS SHOW SOME OF THE RANGE WE WANTED TO SHOW THAT THERE BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THERE OF INDIGENOUS INFLUENCE, INFLUENCE BECOMES A TRULY >> Susan: THERE WAS SUCH

AND THE INDIAN PAINTERS LITTLE DETAILS, WAS SO FAR AWAY FROM SPAIN, >> Andrew: PERHAPS THE EUROPEAN TRANSLATION THE IMAGES OF THE VIRGIN THE EARLIEST IMAGES THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION IN THAT IMAGE, SHE IS VERY AND IN FAIRLY SIMILAR OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION THE WIND IS BLOWING SO HER GOWN, HER GARMENTS, THE REASON FOR THIS IS MANY IN LATIN AMERICA ONLY KNEW AND THE PRINTS WERE FROM A PAINTING, AND THE PRINTED IMAGE IS >> Susan: SOMETIMES THERE

THERE IS A PAINTING AND IN THE ORIGINAL BUT WHEN OLGUIN PAINTS MAYBE BECAUSE THE ENGRAVING ANOTHER INSET OF THE VIRGIN >> Andrew: HER HAIR IS THE VIRGIN MARY'S HAIR OPENS HER HAIR IS VERY WAVY, SO THE LATIN AMERICAN INDIGENOUS PAINTERS, CHOSE AS SHE WOULD APPEAR AT HOME IN MOST LATIN AMERICAN DECORATED WITH FLOWERS, WITH JEWELRY, PARTICULARLY AND THAT'S SOMETHING

IN SOME OF THE THESE ARE THE SAME SORT SO IT IS VERY INTERESTING. YOU SEE THOSE EUROPEAN BEING PORTRAYED AS THE KINGS ONE OF THE CHARMING DETAILS ONE OF THE CHARMING DETAILS IS THE PERSISTENCE OF BIRDS, AND THIS, AGAIN, IS BUT IN LATIN AMERICA, THE TRANSMITTERS OF MAN'S TO THE HEAVENS IS SOMETHING MANY OF THESE IMAGES THAT MANY OF THESE IMAGES THAT

EXHIBITION ARE NOT THEY ARE LOCALIZED BELIEF, AND THE ARC THESE WERE TWO OF THE 18 AND THEY WERE DRESSED AND THEY HAVE THEIR GUNS AND FIGHT FOR EITHER OR THE DIGNITY SO THEY WERE THE WARRIORS THEY ARE NOT SOMETHING SO IT IS VERY MUCH THAT PERHAPS THE PEOPLE ONE OF THE PAINTINGS THAT'S

BOTH FOR THE SHOW IT LOOKS VERY CHINESE AS THE SPANISH BROUGHT GOODS THEY BROUGHT THEM THE PHILIPPINES, THE GOODS WERE OFF-LOADED ACROSS MEXICO, AND THEN WERE AND SO THIS INFLUENCE YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THIS IT LOOKS LIKE THE BORDER ABSOLUTELY CREATED OR SOMEONE WHO IS VERY MUCH THE BIRDS, INCREDIBLE THERE IS EVEN A LITTLE THE IRONIC FACT

AND THE INCORPORATION IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THESE CREATED BY INDIGENOUS THE DIVINE INDIVIDUALS, STILL TEND TO HAVE VERY PALE FEATURES, EXCEPT FOR ISSUES BUT THE MOST CLEARLY OR INDIGENOUS INDIVIDUALS, THE ARTISTS REPRESENTED THE FULL RANGE OF ABSOLUTELY >> Susan: THE PAINTINGS >> Susan: THE PAINTINGS
