US lawmakers face a blow to the efforts of President Barack Obama, continuing five years ago, to close the detention camp at Guantanamo in Cuba, naval, delete the plan to close the facility of the draft annual Defence Act.
The Chairman of the Armed Services Committee in the Senate, Senator Carl Evinn, told reporters on Monday, "The final version of the bill, would allow the president to transfer prisoners to the United States."
It is likely that the House of Representatives and the Senate approve in the coming days on the defense bill, which recognizes annually for more than 50 years after that to send to the White House Obama to be signed into law.
Obama has promised to close the detention camp since he entered the White House in early 2009, and said, "It has damaged the reputation of the United States around the world."
Has not yet been able to do so partly because of congressional resistance.
