  12.  @xXRedTheDragonXx  Compare the Jan 3, 2003 press release below to what I already posted above if you want to rate my guess. - - - - - - - - - - - - - LAGUNA PUEBLO, N.M. (AP) — Laguna Industries Inc., which nearly closed its doors three years ago, is on the rebound again, thanks to new federal contracts that are providing much-needed jobs for American Indians. The Laguna Pueblo-owned company is once again one of New Mexico's largest employers, with 320 workers and nearly $30 million in business booked for the next two years. The company broke ground recently on a new high-tech military radio frequency test range called MATIC, for Mobility Assessment Test and Integration Center. MATIC is a 32,000-square-mile range where the military will test frequencies, radios and other aspects of communications networks, using the mesas and hills around Laguna Pueblo to simulate battlefield conditions for short-range radio equipment, said Marty Perea, who directs the facility. Laguna Industries was founded in 1984 to bring jobs to Laguna Pueblo, where about 4,000 people live on more than half a million acres 45 miles west of Albuquerque. The Jackpile uranium mine was closing, leaving 600 workers, mostly Laguna Pueblo members, unemployed. "Our primary objective was to bring in jobs for the people," Ron Solimon, a former company executive, told The Albuquerque Tribune. The plan was to create a path for tribal businesses in contracting with the Department of Defense, the U.S. Army and other government agencies.
