Lawyers for Elian Gonzalez's Miami relatives said
this morning they're willing to bring the boy to a
meeting with his father, but the father's attorney says
any such meeting must start with the boy being
handed over to his father.

 The meeting could be anywhere in the country,
the Miami relatives' lawyers said.

 "It's time that the family got together to deal with
 this as a family - no preconditions, no government,
 no lawyers,'' Miami family attorney Kendall Coffey
 told ABC's "Good Morning America.''

 But he also said the family still prefers to meet
 within close driving distance of Miami because Elian
 is frightened about being returned to Cuba.

 Gregory Craig, an attorney for Elian's father, Juan
 Miguel Gonzalez, said any meeting must begin with
 Juan Miguel being given custody of the boy.
