Giving up the Naval Base isn't likely to happen for a variety of reasons. There are a lot of activities down there that have nothing to do with the detention facility. The president will try very hard to get rid of the detention facility, but I doubt that base is going anywhere. For that matter, I doubt Congress will authorize closure of the detention facility due to the nature of some of the detainees we have there. With the new realtions with Cuba, however, they may start accepting payment for, or try to renegotiate our lease agreement with them. I'm told by base historians that Cuba has not cashed the checks since Castro accepted the first payment and validated the lease. That may change. Look into the history of the base, it's actually pretty fascinating.
