WASHINGTON — Fort Hood would stand to lose $42.6 million in funding for construction projects, among $265.1 million in military spending earmarked for Texas that the Trump administration is making available for border wall construction on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Defense Department has released a 20-page list of military construction projects that President Donald Trump could slash to pay for expanding the fencing and barriers already in place or under construction along the border.

The Pentagon document listed hundreds of projects envisioned around the U.S. and world worth about $12.9 billion. Not all will be subject to cuts, the Defense Department wrote, making it difficult to determine exactly which would be vulnerable.

The two Fort Hood projects that could lose funds for border wall construction, according to a Pentagon fact sheet, are a vehicle maintenance shop ($33 million) and supply support activity ($9.6 million). A Fort Hood official referred questions seeking details about these projects to the Pentagon. A message left at the Pentagon was not returned.

Other Texas military spending on the list, released Monday, includes Air Force training classrooms and a dining facility ($38 million) as well as an Air Force control tower ($10 million) at Joint Base San Antonio; a blood processing center ($8.3 million) at Fort Bliss; and a general purpose warehouse ($71.5 million) at Red River Army Depot.

But Pentagon officials said spending for housing would not be touched. Concerns over losing funding to renovate dilapidated housing at Fort Hood had led U.S. Rep. Roger Williams, R-Austin, who represents parts of Fort Hood, to briefly oppose Trump’s emergency declaration. Congress had set aside nearly $300 million to renovate 24 barracks in recent years, including $61 million last year.

Williams ended up opposing a House resolution to block Trump's action, saying he was assured by comments from acting Defense Secretary Shanahan that military housing funding would not be affected.

Trump issued an emergency order to tap funds already approved by Congress, including military construction money, to build the wall on the southern border. He plans to use $3.6 billion from military construction; $2.5 billion from a drug interdiction program; and $600 million from Treasury’s drug forfeiture program. Congress already has approved $1.38 billion for the wall.

The House and Senate defied him by approving a resolution authored by U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, to undo the emergency order, but Trump vetoed it Friday.

Veto override?

Democrats expressed hope that by knowing which local projects could be targeted, lawmakers would be likelier to override Trump's veto.

"Now that members of Congress can see the potential impact this proposal could have on projects in their home states, I hope they will take that into consideration before the vote to override the President's veto," Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement.

With the House scheduled to vote Tuesday on overriding Trump's veto, the spokeswoman for the top GOP vote counter predicted the president will prevail anyway.

"House Republicans have stood strongly with President Trump on securing our nation's border and overwhelmingly supported his emergency declaration by large margins when we voted on this weeks ago; this will not change," said Lauren Fine, spokeswoman for No. 2 House GOP leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana.

U.S. Rep. Will Hurd, R-Helotes, was the only GOP House member from Texas to vote in favor of the resolution. U.S. Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, voted against the resolution.

Asked about using presidential power to shift funding from military construction projects to the border wall, Emily Dowdell, spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock, who represents part of Fort Hood, said, “The congressman's statement remains the same on this topic: ‘I support securing the border, but absolutely not at the expense of my Fort Hood soldiers.’"

Democratic opposition

Democrats were more pointed in their opposition. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, said, “The president’s emergency declaration undermines the training, readiness and quality of life of our military and their families.” He said he was especially concerned about more than $90 million in potential cuts to military construction funding approved for Joint Base San Antonio.

“These projects are critical to the security of our nation and the well-being of our men and women in uniform and their families,” Cuellar said. “After failing to convince the government of Mexico or U.S. Congress to pay for his ineffective wall, the president is trying to bypass constitutional authority and undermine the training, readiness, and quality of life of our military and their families in Texas.”

Democratic U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Brian Schatz of Hawaii said in a statement, "This madness will not stop until more of our Republican colleagues are willing to put the military ahead of party politics."

Cornyn told reporters last month, "On this particular emergency declaration, my understanding is it would allow access to military construction funds, which are limited and certainly not unlimited, so it's not just grabbing a bunch of money, as much money as a president wants, out of the Treasury.”

He added that, “I share the concern that military construction projects at Fort Hood and elsewhere in Texas might be unfunded if, in fact, that money is used for border security rather than traditional military construction."
