BEIER The City Commission Thursday pondered a number of ways Albuquerque could acquire of state land south of International Airport. The large section of unimproved land is bounded on the north by Kirtland Air Force Base and International Airport, on the south by the Isleta Reservation, on the west by 1-25 and on the east by KAFB.

THE SEARCH for city acquisition has been under way for more than four months. The latest effort was spurred byStateLand Commissioner Alex Armijo. "I've talked with Albuquerque officials in hopes that some way the city could obtain the land," Armijo told the Journal. "I've been holding off on doing something with the land for the last five years. I feel the city should have it.

In elaborating further, he said the hotel provides Springer with "valuable and viable economic alternative courses of action" forthefuture.Schifani would not amplify this statement other than to say that Springer was dedicated to maintain its position of leadership in the hotel industry in metropolitan Albuquerque as well as New Mexico. It is believed that Springer intends to build a new hotel complex in the immediate vicinity of the Hilton Hotel and in some manner link the new and old hotels together.

None of the legislators spoke in favor of the idea. One opposed it but on the grounds it would only add to the present "hodge podge" inter-relationship of the medical school and the county medical center.

Others said it was a matter to be decided by the UNM regents or to Board of Educational Finance. Sen. C. B. Trujillo, D-Mora-Taos-San Miguel, said he thought the idea should be brought before the entire Legislature, not just the LFC.

IT ALSO developed the medical school plans to start a limited "Family Practice Program," despite the fact the last Legislature refused to appropriate money for it. Donna Mc-Cord, LFC analyst, told the committee the Senate Finance Committee had lopped off a line item appropriation for the program because a bill which would appropriate money for a building to house the program was already doomed.

Subsequently he said a check of CIA records revealed that on July 8, 1971, he had referred to the phone call, received the day before, at a CIA staff meeting and had mentioned that it was Ehrlichman who called. Ehrlichman, former top-ranking White House aide, said Wednesday that the first time he learned of the CIA assistance to Hunt was when Cushman called him Aug. 27, 1971, and asked that the agency be permitted to terminate the assistance.

WIECK Of the Journal's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON New Mexico's two senators joined the overwhelming majority of their colleagues Thursday in voting to cut-off funds for military activities in Cambodia and Laos.

Both U.S. Sens. Joseph M. Montoya, and Pete Domenici, backed the so-called Eagleton Amendment which barred the use of any funds for that purpose. THE AMENDMENT was attached to the Supplementary Appropriations Bill; however, it was worded in such a way as to include all funds previously appropriated.

The Eagleton Amendment passed, 63-19, and the Supplemental Approppriations Bill then passed, 73 6. Montoya and Domenici had opposed an amendment by Sea Robert Taft, R-Ohio, to the Eagleton Amendment which would have allowed bombs to be dropped only on North Vietnamese troops in Cambodia. It failed by a big margin. Montoya returned to Washington Thursday morning and did not arrive in time for the vote on the Taft amendment; however, he was announced against all "weakening" amendment.
