http://domenici.senate.gov/contact/contact.cfm is the site for the web form
for Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM)

http://bingaman.senate.gov/Contact_Me/e-mail_form.htm for Senator Jeff
Bingaman (D-NM)

(D-NM)

She is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee



Sample letter to copy and paste:


Senator Domenici:

I am writing to ask your help to prevent the massive disruption at Los
Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) that would occur if it was no longer
managed by the University of California (UC). As chairman of the Senate
Energy and Natural Resources Committee, you are very aware of the strategic
importance of LANL's mission during this period of threat to our national
security.



Change in the contractor at LANL could lead to serious negative consequences
such as

"           Loss of weapons program knowledge and skills;

"           Potential loss of critical staff; and

"           Disruption of the economic sector of northern New Mexico, with
resulting repercussions throughout the rest of the state.



There is an integration of science and support staff under the single
employer of UC that is critical to the success of the national security
mission. LANL's training of the International Atomic Energy Agencys weapons
inspectors, critical to the current international crisis, is only one
example of the vital support UC has provided to world security through its
management of LANL.



Efforts at reform of the business practices at LANL have begun by both UC
and LANL management.  Progress is underway. Talk of changing the contractor
at LANL is premature as UC begins to implement reform.  UC is still the most
robust agent of change for LANL. This is an opportunity for positive
change-help us let UC to continue to demonstrate its capability to make
improvements.



Thank you for your response to this request.  In the interest of disclosure,
I am a LANL employee.  This letter was written on my own computer at home,
on my own personal time.
