DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: We're going to start with the latest on the Elian Gonzalez situation and the seemingly imminent reunion of Elian Gonzalez and his father. Perhaps as early as today, the Justice Department is expected to notify the boy's Miami relatives when, where and how this reunion will take place. A team of mental health experts will discuss the issue with federal officials again today. They met with one of Elian's great-uncles in Miami yesterday. Thousands of people, meanwhile, opposed to sending Elian back to Cuba turned out for a candlelight vigil in Miami last night. For the first time, Attorney General Janet Reno will meet face- to-face today with one of the boy's Miami relatives. His great-uncle Delfin Gonzalez will be joined by the mayors of Miami and Miami-Dade County. For more on that meeting, let's go to our Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas. He is joining us live from Washington today. Pierre, good morning.</s>PIERRE THOMAS, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Daryn. The attorney general is set first this morning to meet with a number of psychiatrists who were down in Miami yesterday to discuss the transition of Elian to his father. That meeting is expected sometime within the next hour or so. Again, Attorney General Reno wants some guidance from them on how the transfer should take place. Next after that, she is expected to meet with the two mayors from Miami to discuss, again, the transition. The mayors want a lengthy transition process. But we're told by sources that the Attorney General is in favor of moving this process forward very quickly. In light of that we expect, today, a letter to go to the Miami relatives informing them that the transfer of Elian to his father is expected to take place sometime this week -- Daryn.
