LINDA STOUFFER, CNN ANCHOR: George W. Bush today wraps up his first trip to Washington since he clinched the presidency. Bush will meet with his former rival, Vice President Al Gore. And he has an Oval Office meeting scheduled with President Clinton. For more on all that, we go to CNN's Eileen O'Connor, who is standing by at Bush's hotel in Washington. Eileen, good morning.</s>EILEEN O'CONNOR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Linda. Well, he had, as you know, very important meetings yesterday up on Capitol Hill, and also with a few potential cabinet picks here at his hotel, at the Madison Hotel on 15th and M. We're only a few blocks from the White House. He'll be going down there later for an all important meeting with President Clinton, and then lunch with President Clinton. And then it's on to the vice president's residence at the Naval Observatory for a very symbolic meeting of these two men finally getting together after all the legal wrangling and all the rhetoric. But we'll have more details on all of this at the top of the hour on "EARLY EDITION" -- Linda.</s>STOUFFER: Eileen, a quick question for you, though. What is the Bush team hoping to get out of the meetings today?</s>O'CONNOR: Well, especially this meeting with the vice president, very important is the image: basically, the two men coming together. The Bush team was very grateful for the remarks by the vice president in his concession speech. They believe that went a long way. But now it's this all-important image, the two men coming together, they believe will, again, help heal the country and bring Gore supporters behind President-elect Bush -- Linda.</s>STOUFFER: Eileen O'Connor, thank you very much for that out of Washington.
