Book excerpt: Excerpt from Enlargement of Military Reservation of Fort Sam Houston, Tex: Hearings Before the Committee on Military Affairs United States Senate on the Bill S. 5049; To Provide for Enlarging the Military Reservation of Fort Sam Houston, Tex;; February 2, 1917 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of War is hereby authorized and directed to purchase such parcels of land, not exceeding one thousand five hundred acres, adjoining the military reservation of Port Sam Houston, Texas, as may be needed for the uses of said post, considering present and future needs, and such as may be suitable for encampments, maneuvers, and field instruction of the mobile army of the United States or parts thereof; and for the purposes of this act there is hereby authorized to be expended, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $330,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary. The Chairman. Senator Sheppard, the committee understands that you desire to have several persons called with reference to Senate bill 5049, providing for enlarging the military reservation at Fort Sam Houston, Tex. You may suggest the order in which you desire these gentlemen to appear. Senator Sheppard. Mr. Chairman, I desire to say by way of introduction that the bill now before the committee was a part of a program for necessary improvements at Fort Sam Houston, which was included in two bills that I introduced during the last session of Congress - S. 5048 and 5049.The Secretary of War wrote to the chairman of this committee on April 22, 1916, urging the adoption of these bills. At the time, however, the committee found it desirable to allow us only one of the measures submitted. I am now asking that the committee consider the other one, and I will ask Mr. Groos, the president of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, to say a few words in behalf of the bill. Senator Warren. Before Mr. Groos commences, I would like to ask the Senator if he has arranged to have his witnesses appear before the Committee on Appropriations, because that committee will undoubtedly take this matter up. The matter of several other posts has come up in this way. Of course I do not object to its coming up in this committee now, but as I say, it will undoubtedly come up in the Committee on Appropriations.

Book excerpt: Fort Sam Houston has been San Antonio's Army post since 1845. Originally located in the city, elements of the post began moving to Government Hill in 1876. Fort Sam Houston became one of America's most important military installations, witnessing the end of the Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War, the birth of military aviation, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. "Fort Sam" contributed more than one million soldiers and airmen to the defense of the United States, including many of its most distinguished leaders. Its contributions to the nation merited its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1974. More than 800 historic buildings are within its boundaries--more than at Colonial Williamsburg and the largest collection on any installation within the Department of Defense. Images of America: Fort Sam Houston portrays the fort during its first hundred years on Government Hill.
