JEANNE MESERVE, CNN ANCHOR: We are going to go now to Havana, Cuba, where Lucia Newman has reaction from the Cuban government to the decision by Janet Reno, that the decision of the state court does not have an influence over an INS ruling on the future of Elian Gonzalez. Lucia, what's the latest from there?</s>LUCIA NEWMAN, CNN HAVANA BUREAU CHIEF: Yes, Jeanne. Well, the reaction has not come down yet, at least not officially. Officials tell us that they are still studying the letter from the Justice Department, but obviously this is the decision that they wanted and also the decision that the boy's father wanted. Juan Miguel Gonzalez has said that he wants and expects the INS decision that the child be returned to him in Cuba to be enforced and that he wants this to be done through the good services of the U.S. National Council of Churches, which has offered to bring the boy back here to Cuba. Now, the part of the Justice Department's statement and letter that the Cuban government and father will probably not be so happy about is the one that leaves the door wide open for this case to now go to a federal court, thus delaying more the outcome of this dispute. The Cuban government and the family here in this country had hoped that the child would be returned by Friday, which had been the original INS deadline set for the boy to be reunited with his father. This now seems very unlikely, if not impossible, Jeanne.</s>MESERVE: Lucia Newman in Havana, thank you.
