SCU: SOUNDBITE (English) (off-camera) REPORTER ASKING RENO: "Do you think the actions of the Miami relatives and parading this little boy around in front of the exile community has been appropriate? Is that in his best interest?" / (English) U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL JANET RENO SAYING: "I can't comment with respect to Elian, but if my great nephew, who's only about a year or a couple of months younger, had that happen to him, I sure wouldn't like it." / (English) (off-camera) REPORTER ASKING RENO: "There were some problems with the initial attempt to set up a meeting earlier this week. Do you trust this family, the family down in Miami, to turn over the boy, if and when the time comes to it? Or do you see some sort of reluctance on their part, based on what happened earlier this week?" / (English) U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL JANET RENO SAYING: " I think they love the little boy very, very much. I also hope with all my heart that everybody involved in this tragic situation recognizes that we live in a country that is governed by the rule of law, and that if we work the issues of the law and through the facts, that when the law is defined, people will honor it. That is the difference between us and Cuba." 2.04 MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES (JANUARY 27, 2000) (U.S. POOL - ACCESS ALL) 4.
