WASHINGTON — Bush administration officials will meet with a North Korean delegation in Beijing starting Wednesday to express their concern about North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, the State Department announced Monday. Spokesman Richard Boucher confirmed the talks after the North Koreans clari fied that they had not started reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods. Reprocessing could give Pyongyang several nuclear weapons in a matter of months. Confusion had risen from a North Korean statement, distributed last Friday for overseas consumption, that said the reprocessing had begun. The statement prompt ed some administration offi cials to recommend putting off the tentative Wednesday starting date for talks. The confusion stemmed from a North Korean mistranslation. Boucher said the United States hopes South Korea and Japan will join the talks later. Representing the United States in the first round will be Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly. After three days in Beijing. Kelly will brief officials in Seoul and Tokyo. The United States has said China will be a full partner in the Beijing talks, but North Korea has said the essential issues will be discussed by U.S. and North Korean officials. “The issue for us is how to achieve a verifiable, irre versible end to North Korea’s nuclear program,” Boucher said, adding that North Korea and China will outline their own priorities. The Beijing talks will be the first substantive U.S.-North Korean discussions since Kelly visited Pyongyang in October and was informed that the communist country had embarked on a uranium-based nuclear weapons program. Since then, Pyongyang has withdrawn from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and restarted a plutonium-produc- inu nuclear reactor. Do you wonder what your future holds?

NEWS IN BRIEF Morning-after pill may be on market WASHINGTON (AP) - The maker of a morning-after pill applied for government permis sion Monday to begin selling the emergency contraceptive with out the doctor's prescription now required. The maker of Plan B pills hopes to win Food and Drug Administration approval for over- the-counter sales by next year. Dozens of medical and women's groups petitioned the FDA two years ago to allow the pills to be sold with out a prescription as a way to help women prevent pregnan cy following rape, contracep tive failure or just forgetting birth control. The FDA typically won't move a drug from prescription to non prescription status unless the manufacturer makes the request. On Monday, Plan B's maker, Women's Capitol Corp., said it had.
