BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Also, keeping an eye on this hour in Miami, Florida, as well, government attorneys are meeting with representatives for the Miami family of Elian Gonzalez. Family members face a deadline tomorrow, Tuesday morning, to either sign an agreement promising to turn the boy over if their appeal fails or lose custody. Meanwhile, the Miami relatives are raising questions over whether Elian's father in Cuba is a fit parent. For the very latest on this, Mark Potter live now in Miami taking the pulse thus far this morning. Mark, hello.</s>MARK POTTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello, again. We are at the U.S. attorney's office in downtown Miami, where we presume the negotiations are under way now. The attorneys for the Miami family arrived here about a half hour ago for the third day of negotiations over Elian's fate. The first two days of negotiations last week failed to produce an agreement. Now at issue are government demands that the Miami family agree to turn over the boy to the father if the father arrives here in the United States or if the family loses its appeals in federal court. Looming over all of this, of course, is news that the father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, says he is going to apply for visas to come here to the United States to take custody of his son. We have been told that those visas in Havana have not yet been applied for. An attorney for Juan Miguel Gonzalez says that before the father agrees to come to this country he wants a guarantee from the U.S. government that he will ultimately be able to take control of his son, will be able to take custody of his son. The INS is in favor of that, the Justice Department has said all along the father and the boy do belong together. The attorneys for the relatives here in Miami, however, say now that they do not think that a transfer to the father would be good for the boy's emotional health, and so they are asking that an independent psychologist determine whether the boy should be transferred to his father. Back to you.</s>HEMMER: All right, Mark Potter in Florida. Mark, thanks. Search CNN.com CNNSI.com CNNmoney.com The Web
