Slayden Absence Sparks Debate Over Texas River Projects
Texas congressmen defend Texas river and harbor items during Slayden absence from March 31 to April 8. The Rivers and Harbors Bill allocates 2,678,500 for Texas waterways including 10,000 for Port Aransas, with San Antonio granted Fort Sam Houston improvements and related allocations amid Republican criticism. House Military Affairs hearings run on army funding as Slayden’s absence delays actions on Latin American participation in the Texas Bi Centenary.
