Pentagon sends Congress list of projects that could lose funds to Trump's emergency declaration

[left-of-center2012]

The Pentagon delivered a list of projects to Congress on Monday that could be affected by President Trump’s plan to use $3.6 billion in military construction funds for his proposed border wall.

“We know President Trump wants to take money from our national security accounts to pay for his wall, and now we have a list of some of the projects and needed base repairs that could be derailed or put on the chopping block as a result,” Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) said in a statement Monday.

“What President Trump is doing is a slap in the face to our military that makes our border and the country less secure,” Reed said.

The list, which senators released to reporters Monday, is broken down by military service, which is then further broken down by state or country. There are projects throughout the country inside the United States, and abroad in places including South Korea, Germany and Qatar. “Decisions have not yet been made concerning which border barrier projects will be funded through” the emergency declaration, the memo says.

Whomever in the Pentagon decided to organize it that way needs a promotion.
