The details
The Department of Veterans Affairs would get authority to build a hospital in the Rio Grande Valley sector of Texas. The new facility would be named the Sgt. Alfredo "Freddy" Gonzalez Memorial Veterans' Hospital. The Rio Grande Valley sits at the southern tip of Texas along the Mexican border. The authority carries a condition. Construction could proceed only if Congress appropriates money for it in advance. The bill itself provides no funding and sets no timeline. Every federal law, map, and record would refer to the facility by the new name.
