Elian move to secluded Maryland site amid raft of hearings
Elian Gonzalez and his Cuban relatives relocate to a private Maryland location as the Clinton administration arranges four Cuban playmates’ visits. Attorney General Reno faces fresh Republican criticism over the pre dawn raid in Miami and a planned Judiciary Committee hearing. U.S. marshals relocate the family from Andrews Air Force Base to the Wye River Conference Center while visas enable visits by Elian’s Cuban playmates and relatives. The Rev Joan Campbell calls the move an effort to restore normalcy.
