Cornyn said he supported forming a commission to study changing the name of Fort Hood — named after a Confederate general — while Hegar backed renaming the military base outright.
Support forming a commission to study changing the name of Fort Hood.
Occurrences
Evidence
The Senate overrode the veto of H.R. 6395 on January 1, 2021, and John Cornyn is listed as voting Yea.
TIME reported that the Naming Commission, created by the 2021 NDAA, recommended new names for nine bases, including Fort Hood to Fort Cavazos.
Assessments
Cornyn delivered on this promise by backing the FY2021 NDAA override vote on January 1, 2021, which enacted the Naming Commission. That commission was the specific mechanism promised to study changing Fort Hood’s name, and it was later formed and completed that work. Because the recorded evidence codes the enactment and follow-through after the original promise window, later_term is the best fit.
