WASHINGTON (AP)--The State Department said yesterday it has no informa- tion on a reported Soviet proposal under which the Kremlin would reduce its military presence in Cuba in exchange for U.S. abandonment of the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay.

"I should note that there is no change in this government's view on Guan- tanamo Bay's importance as a defense facility for the U.S. in the Carib- Says No Change bean. " The report was written by an American journalist who said his information came from a discussion with Russian diplomats at the Soviet Embassy in Havana. In Gitmo Status Bray said the allegation that the United States would be willing to give up the Guantanamo Base is an "overstatement since we are talking about a situation that is entirely hypothetical. The entire range of relations with Cuba must be re-examined if a completely new relationship were to develop. Guantanamo is just one aspect of this relationship."
