Las Cruces, NM – The United States Senate passed a package of bills introduced by New Mexico's Senior Senator Jeff Bingaman yesterday, including the "Prehistoric Trackways National Monument Establishment Act". As KRWG's Evan Woodward reports, the bill seeks to protect over 5,000 acres of land in Dona Ana County's Robledo Mountains.
