Elian Gonzalez custody standoff nears uncertain future
The Elian Gonzalez case quickened toward an unclear outcome as his Cuban father readies to travel to the United States and talks with Miami relatives end with a pledge to meet again. INS delays revoking Elian’s temporary residency, demanding surrender if the court fight fails. Lazaro Gonzalez says he would hand Elian to the father at his home in Florida, not to INS. Fidel Castro said the father is ready to travel if guarantees are made. About 1,000 people rallied in Little Havana for a prayer vigil around Elian’s house.
