He added that the ebbing of

had predicted or wished.
He noted that at the end of
'the Gull War a decade ago, “the

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withdrawn from the nuclear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.

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.
