This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Gregory J. Fouratt” as united States Attorney for the District of New Mexico. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as united States Attorney for the District of New Mexico. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5606987. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1988, 1991, 1995 and 2016.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
