On the recordMarch 25, 1998
Basically the Speaker met with maybe 100 to 200 of the heirs of the land grant, the original land grant. They presented to him approximately 3,000 signatures from the heirs of the land grants. The Speaker was very clear. Of course he is a historian, doctorate in history, so being a history buff, he was very intrigued with the injustice that was done and he mentioned it as such, he mentioned it was injustice. We have the full support of the leadership of the House of Representatives. He received the petitions, he has those petitions. Our office has a copy of those petitions. He is committed to working with myself, the rest of the New Mexico delegation and the cosponsors of this bill to see it passes as soon as possible.
