Wed July 23, 2003 01:39 AM ET

TOKYO (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter may visit North Korea in September in an attempt to break the stalemate over Pyongyang's nuclear program, a Japanese TV network said.

Private broadcaster Fuji Television reported on its Web site Wednesday that Carter was making arrangements to visit North Korea, perhaps early in September, and would meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.

He would stop in Japan and meet Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on his way to North Korea, it said.

"I haven't heard anything about such a visit," Yoon Tae-young, chief spokesman for South Korea's presidential Blue House, told reporters when asked about the report.

1. Carter always clears his travel

and foreign involvements, official or not, with a current WH.

This would be the only smart thing Bushco has done so I am doubtful that it will happen.

Carter's my hero in many ways - and might be the best U.S. bet to bring peace to that region. I hope it happens.
