PREFACE
The Albuquerque Operations Office (AL) of the U.S. Department of Bwcigy (DOE) is charged witk managing
laboratories, production plants, and energy programs in several locations throughout the United States, including
New Mexico. Due to the significance of DOE activities in New Mexico, selected economic impact studies have
been completed annually since the early 1980s. The types of activities that DOE/AL oversees are, for the most
part, an outgowthof atomic research thatstarted in New Mexico in the 1940s. In New Mexico, activity that was
once canihed toel Hi'"(Los Alamos National Laboratory), northwest of Santa Fe, has become two national
laboratories, abindical and environmental research institute; a national wasereposizaiy, a national remedial
action project, and several energy research and conservation programs.
The economic impactonNew Mexico has grown over thyears to a point where these activities provide tens of
thousands of jobs and contribute billions of dollars to the state's economy. Therefore, it is appropriate that a
report be provided periodically to the citizens of New Mexico describing the impact of DOE an the state. This
report details activities for federal Fiscal Year 1995.
