So I found these rules:

(2) No amateur station shall transmit from those portions of Texas and New Mexico that are bounded by latitudes 31°41 ′ and 34°30 ′ North and longitudes 104°11 ′ and 107°30 ′ West; or from outside of the United States and its Region 2 insular areas.

(3) No amateur station shall transmit from those portions of Colorado and Wyoming that are bounded by latitudes 39° and 42° North and longitudes 103° and 108° West in the following segments: 902.4–902.6 MHz, 904.3–904.7 MHz, 925.3–925.7 MHz, and 927.3–927.7 MHz.

But I can't find exactly what the government needs 30MHz of bandwidth for, especially in the middle of New Mexico.

What is the reason for this restriction?

The New Mexico restriction covers the White Sands Missile Range. Colorado and Wyoming also have military installations. Some 900 MHz frequencies are allowed for amateurs there. More comments at http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/projects/900mhz/900users.html
