DALLAS (AP) - U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards says he expects broad, bipartisan support for a $16.5 million earmark to fund a new Soldier Readiness Processing Center at Fort Hood.
The project would replace the site of last year's shooting rampage.
The Waco Democrat says the last place soldiers visit before deployment and the first place they see when coming home "should not be the site of a senseless, terrible tragedy."
