US to send envoy to NKorea for nuclear talks
(AP) WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is planning to send a special envoy to North Korea for talks on nuclear matters.

Two administration officials said Monday evening that the decision to accept a months-old North Korea offer for direct talks is to be publicly announced as early as Tuesday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

The administration's hope is that its special envoy, Stephen Bosworth, can persuade the North to return to stalled international nuclear disarmament negotiations. Bosworth's talks will be the first of their kind since before President Barack Obama took office in January.

No date has been set for the meeting, which first was reported by The Washington Post.
