October 25, 1973, a previous airport lease (NMNM 18702) was issued for 
approximately 127.82 acres which also encompassed the proposed lease 
area. The land had been continuously leased for airport purposes until 
October 25, 1993, when the lease expired. The proposed lease area is 
described as follows:
