WASHINGTON - The Justice Department spent $1,826,000 on the Elian Gonzalez case through June 11.

With a final accounting about a week away, the department said Wednesday that the largest item through June 11 had been $786,000 in travel costs for immigration and Border Patrol officers, deputy U.S. marshals, lawyers and Community Relations Service mediators.

Close behind was $618,000 in overtime for immigration officers and deputy marshals. The Immigration and Naturalization Service provided Border Patrol agents and the Marshals Service provided deputies for the early morning raid on April 22 that retrieved Elian from the home of his Miami relatives. The two agencies also guarded Elian, his family and friends from Cuba at a rural estate on Maryland's Eastern Shore and later at a house in Washington.

Another $127,000 was spent on Marshals Service aircraft that made two trips to Miami. One plane brought Elian from Miami to Washington on April 22. The other was sent to Miami earlier to ferry his Miami relatives to Washington had they agreed to a plan proposed by Attorney General Janet Reno when she flew to Miami in an unsuccessful bid to negotiate his voluntary return to his father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez.

Earlier, the department had said the April 22 raid and Elian's flight to Washington together, all dubbed Operation Reunion, cost a total of $229,686, and that figure was included in the totals released Wednesday. That amount included overtime and travel for the 131 immigration and Border Patrol agents and 18 marshals involved, medical personnel on the flight, security and equipment. The agents trained for a week before the raid.

The remaining $295,000 in costs since Elian was found in the Atlantic off Florida last Thanksgiving include housing the family briefly at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington; Public Health Service personnel; cell phone costs for mediators, attorneys and agents; computer hardware; fuel; radio batteries; van and limousine leases; court transcripts and documents and courier services.

The totals do not include normal salary and benefit costs for regular, full-time federal employees who would have been paid even if there had been no Elian Gonzalez case.
