During the amendment voting for the "Commerce and Justice, Science,
and Related Agencies" appropriations bill yesterday, the House cast two
votes that relate to US relations with Cuba.
The first was on Gitmo. Closing Gitmo would be a positive step forward in US-Cuba relations.
Personally, I think the US should return the land stolen for the naval base, but I don't expect it to happen.
Jerry Nadler (NY-10) offered an amendment to strike section 527 from the bill which prohibits use of funds to transfer, release, or assist in the transfer or release to or within the U.S., its territories, or possessions Khalid Sheikh Mohammed or any other detainee who is not a U.S. citizen or a member of the Armed Forces of the U.S. and is or was held on or after June 24, 2009, at the U.S. Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, by the Department of Defense.
