Summary:

Outlines history of the establishment of the U.S. naval station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, including its changing relationship to the community around it and its heightened importance with the onset of military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Discusses legal status of leased land on which the naval station stands, statutory and treaty authorities granted to the President with regard to any potential closure of the naval station, and potential second-order effects that current Cuba sanctions laws might have on such a closure.
